  1. I have just had the same problem on my logic. I found this web page: Route6x6.com - 6 and 8 wheel ATV how to's - Vanguard Carburetor Cleaning I followed the steps in the pictures and left some mechanic in a bottle in the carb over night before refilling the tank and starting it up. While the tank was off I also drained it compleatly and let it dry out and cleaned it out as much as possible. It now runs the best it ever has since I've had it. Hope it helps.

    Disco 2 tyres

    Hi guys, Getting ready for the bad weather and the disco needs some new rubber. Going to go for a set of all terrains , at the moment its fitted with Pirelli 255 65 R16's I'm leaning towards a set of cooper discoverer AT3's in 255 70 R16 as the reviews on google are quite good and the price is not too bad. Anyone know if this slightly bigger size fits with no rubbing, & also is anyone using the coopers and how do you find them. Many thanks Tom
  5. Thanks for the replies , think I'll get myself one of those chisels and maybe an auger bit for the cordless drill, I'm sure it will be a bit neater than my last attempt
  6. Hi guys, Has anyone tried using a carving bar for notching out straining post to fit struts. I was doing it today with a standard 14" bar and got wondering if it would be any more accurate with a carving bar ? May thanks

    Stihl 039 carb

    Hi Guys, I have an old 039 (1996) . It hasn't done much in recent years and when I used it last week it seems to be running rougher than normal. I have ordered a carb kit and new fuel line and filter . Would it be worth me changing the impulse line while i have the carb off and if so is that a very difficult thing to do ? Many Thanks Tom
  8. Nice one, thanks very much.
  9. Evening chaps, I wonder if someone can give me some help please, I have taken the carb off of my old bg55 blower to clean it and put a diaphram kit in it. Would anyone know what the factory settings are on the low and high screws are when they put back in ?. Many thanks Tom
  10. Nice one Bob, Thanks very much Tom
  11. Hi Guys, I have a 2004 mk2 Ford ranger 2.5 Diesel. It is for sale at the moment and I have been asked a few times "what make engine is in it" . I always thought it was made by Mazda as it is the same as a B2500 . Would anyone know if I am right as I'm not having a lot of luck searching the web Many Thanks Tom
  12. Thanks for the replies. I was leaning towards the rsl one because of the blade on the back . But now I am im not sure. Would a standard single shank type be as effective without the blade?
  13. Hi guys, Has anyone used a ripper tooth on a mini digger for pulling out stumps/ roots I have a 3 ton Kubota with a thumb attached and I have quite a few roots to clear. I've Been looking online at the rsl root ripper and digbits make one also. Just wondering if they work better than a narrow bucket before I order one. Thanks in advance, Tom
  14. Thanks for your advice chaps, ( I don't mean to hijack this thread bye the way), ordered an echo cs352es earlier this week and had a play with it today . Really pleased with it and glad I took your advice , I can't believe how light it is. Also excellent service & price from radmores,highly recommend them. Thanks again, Tom
  15. Hi all , I am glad I found this thread, as I was going to ask the same sort of question. I have a husky 236e that I bought 3 years ago for cutting back hedges and trimming struts and strainers etc. It has had more spent on it than it cost me and is now playing up again so time to replace it. I was thinking of getting an ms 170/171 (mainly because they use the same size chain as my ht 131 & I could swap chains etc), or a ms 181 ( because it is slightly more powerful). Any thoughts or recommendations or other suggestions ? Thanks, Tom
