  1. As Spud suggests. It probably is that the brake band isnt fully disengaging. I would also check that the locating pin is still in the side case housing, ie the side casing isnt twisting and possibly forcing the brake band against the drum. Pin is here
  2. That looks very worn i.e. Very thin where it's snapped but it could be the photo. If it is that thin then there is definitely a problem of the clutch drum rubbing on the brake band.
  3. I must be blind a you do say you have a couple of batteries:blushing: Does sound like the charger is us.
  4. We had a problem with a qc330, it was constantly blowing fuses. Do you have a couple of batteries? If so and both aren't charging see about getting the charger replaced under warranty.
  5. Ha thanks. Although it's just something our rep told me which I thought was quite true. Sorry to hear about the theft:thumbdown: all to common these days unfortunately. I think your doing right in buying a petrol saw as your main machine, the battery saws do have their place but atm that's not to be a main/only pro saw imo. I wouldn't advise any pro user to buy a battery saw as their main saw.
  6. In regards to the price of the batteries just think of it as buying a lot of fuel upfront. They only cost a few piece to charge. The running costs are a lot cheaper in the long run, especially when you consider the lower maintenance required for battery machines.
  7. 4229 030 0400 is the part number which is fitted to BG45 BG46 BG55 BG65 BG85 BR45 C SH 55 SH 85 What damage is there to the crank?
  8. Sounds like I should of asked who uses a sewn e2e. I still appreciate all the feedback given and any further feedback.
  9. Cheers for the info on the pole. Does look like a lot prefer to tailor friction cord lengths themselves.
  10. Thanks for the votes and big thanks for the info in replying. Does the poll show up for anyone else using the arbtalk app?
  11. Just giving this a quick bump.
  12. Hoping to get a bit of feedback on what is the most popular lengths of eye 2 eye to help a manufacture. I have made a bit of a poll up but if anyone uses different lengths than the poll and wants to post the info that would be very much appreciated. Whether it's for a lanyard or mainline doesn't matter so if you do use a few different lengths you can choose multiple options in the poll. Thanks Mark
  13. Bought some of the elm burr ones a couple of weeks back. Excellent pens Ian cheers:thumbup1: Fantastic quality and highly recommended.
  14. Yep sorry your right, I was looking at the current husky workshop manual which still has the 3 prong one as the tool to use! Forgot they changed it from the 560 clutch and decided a complete clutch should now cost three times the price of the 560:sneaky2:
  15. I have it down as 575 25 14-01 and it costs us dealers more than twice the price Mark paid for it so dont buy one from me:laugh1: You on friendly terms with Mick then? They are great little bits of kit does make short work, although I do usually go for the give it a quick whack like already mentioned earlier on, if no joy the tool and an impact wrench.
  16. Cheers Mark. Couriers are the unsung hero's of internet shopping, until they loose a parcel of course! Remember the bad old days when mail order took 28 days!
  17. There's no denying that quite a few people have had issues with the saw but thankfully enough they aren't all bad, although the rear av spring and attachment point is a very poor design. Hopefully this has been sorted on the next gen T540XP.
  18. Doesnt look to shabby on a 540. We now have a small selection in stock for the T540XP,550/560XP MS201/200T and MS260/261 Still in the process of getting them on the web site Sugihara Chainsawbar light pro for Husqvarna Chainsaws T540XP Sugihara Chainsawbar light pro for Stihl Chainsaws,MS200T/201T
  19. That is what happens. Make sure you login to your pp account and sort it asap. You only have a certain time to do this before they keep the funds permanently.
  20. Nice1, although I am terrible with names and faces, so I have no clue who you are mate!
  21. Cheers:thumbup1: I will get the web people on to it.
  22. Sorry for the delay chaps. I am going to pick a random number between 2 and 15 from number generator. The winning number is, 13, so thats getting drawn again, this time its 6. wisecobandit wins a £20 voucher.( I will PM you the details) Thanks to all for the help, I think we are going to go with a couple of options that should hopefully make life easier when choosing a bar and chain. Thanks again Mark
  23. I will post the winner tomorrow night, so just a quick bump if you still want to enter with an idea.(I am just picking a random number in google from the post count)
  24. Just out of interest I had a look on the husky site 576 94 51-01 is coming up as "enclosed kit" for £13.44 ex vat it is just the retaining screws, and seems quite expensive for 6 screws! It might include the handle AV but doesn't clearly show it, although I expect i should at that price. 505 15 69-01 is the wrap handle only, no screws etc at £83.72 ex vat Looks like there are non at husky UK so unless dealers have them on their shelves it looks like the end of April.
  25. The fact that you say it's meant to be a genuine still chain makes me wonder. If it is a stihl chain and all the sizing matches the bar check for damaged dive links especially if you can see where the chain has been joined together. The dive links can get slightly bent while punching out the rivets if it's not done correctly.
