If pasties, pies, cakes and beer are off the menu then it sounds like a pointless existence to me! Although it would be interesting to see how much 'better' I would feel eating that way. Im probably luckly in that I feel crap all the time rather than just after eating some carbs etc!

Could be something along those lines. Our 3120 doesn't pop the decompression valve but still fires and runs ok though, thank GodI ! I wouldn't want to have to start it without the decomp valve!

We did the setup thing with the 540 but didnt bother with the 560, both saws run great. You can get idling probs amongst other things if the saw settings are well out, so in that case it is worth doing the 3-5 minutes of full bore cutting. This is from the Husky Autotune data Tuning mode; To enter tuning mode, two conditions have to be fulfilled: the throttle sensor has to indicate full throttle at the same time as the ignition system indicates 8 000 – 12 000 rpm. In other words; full throttle and load. If you over load the saw so it runs below 8,000 and on full throttle it will not enter auto tuning mode, or if you dont have it on full throttle but have it screaming then the same applies.

Had a little play about with the ZZ and zillion on Monday. Only messing about on the climbing wall so obviously nowhere near a proper try out, but well, its better than the original zigzag so there probably not much more to say really. The rubber around the carabiner hole is very good, there is no chance a crab will slip about in there! The zillon is also a nice bit of kit and works well with the supplied rope.It is a bit more compact than the ZZ not only becase it has no swivel joint but also because it has one less link on the friction bit. There will be a replacement rope available which will just have one sewn eye and supplied heat tubing to cover a stopper knot etc. We have the prices up on the web site now, still looking for a Feb 2014 release date. With carabiner bundle deal Petzl Zigzag Carabiner Bundle - Pre Order Petzl Zillon

That ship has sailed mate. Ill be honest as a climbers POV and not a seller, the ZZ is a very impressive device, with the right rope.That goes for the original ZZ as Ive not tried the new one yet. I would never go back to a sling/prussik loop or a hitch climber/pulley advanced hitch setup.

Finally got around to sorting the price out. petzl zigzag Also now taking pre-orders for the Zillon. Petzl Zillon Getting a demo next week hopefully, Its usually my half a day off but I think I will stick around to have a look.

Old Mill, have PM'd you about oil problem and Stubby, yeah it seems some of the springs arent that great TBH.

Just out of interest, those having problems with the 540 have you set the autotune? ie run it full throttle through some timber for 5 minutes. I have some good info about the autotune system somewhere, presentations etc. Ill dig it out and put a thread up.

I'll have a look for the part numbers but if you already know them pass them over and I can check price and availability.

I had a mess about one day pricing it up awhile ago and it was around £1000 + VAT for the parts. I always thought it would be a good little project, get some of the parts painted custom colours, maybe see a mate with a CNC machine to fabricate a few blingy bits etc. I'll never, ever get round to doing it though.

It's the other way around. The improved loop should have a grey plastic part in the clamp. Although you did have me doubting myself so I checked out the husky warranty letter. Mr B is right about the flip caps, the flip caps that fit the 540 are the small type as supplied on the oil tank of the new 550's

They are indeed a complete wastefof planetary resources. You have to hold you thumb, or chosen body part over the hole in the re end cap Even then most of them still don't work!. Why husky bother I just don't know..

I agree with the above in regards to the zigzag being the 'norm' in the very near future. It does have its faults as every bit of kit does, my 'fault' being that it needs to work better with 13mm rope. This only goes for the original ZZ as I havent tried the new one, but the difference between a 11.5mm rope and a 13mm rope is quite unbelievable. I prefer to climb on 13mm hence my 'fault' with the original ZZ. Although I would choose the ZZ with a 11.5mm any day of the week. Scotspine1, try it, I bet you will like it mate.

MS200T 046 066 The current setup up has changed a bit but the above is a combo that can get a serious amount of work done with an unsurpassed reliability rate. ATM it is T540XP 560XP 066 You can never knock a 066.

Pm's and emails all received and put on the list. In regards to returning the original zigzag, the official response is that there is no deadline as its PPE so it won't be a problem. If anyone needs details on how to return the zigzag give me a shout and I'll point you the right direction.

SJH added. In regards to what's involved with a pre-order. All I need are some contact details so when the price and availabilityare e confirmed I can contact you, see if you still want the item, take payment(only when it is in stock and ready to go) and dispatch. If there is a shortage as there was last time then it will be on a first come first serve basis. I will give people 5 working days to confirm if they want the zigzag and pay for it, if they don't it will be passed onto the next person on the list, unless they have pre paid then it will be kept back for them etc. Hopefully that is quite a fair way to do things.

Ed and Josh I'll put you names down on the pre-order list. I will have to see what the deal is with late zigzag returns, as I don't remember there being a cut off deadline.

Ive not worked on a 281 but I have a IPL of the fuel line which looks like it doesnt have a moulded grommet.

OK not yet available and still waiting on a price but at least its been officially announced by Petzl! petzl zigzag There is also a link to the changes over the 2013 version. Its worth getting one pre ordered, if not with us contact your local supplier as we are still getting emails from people wanting to be put on the waiting list and as far as I can remember everyone who returned their old zigzag(not all did! ) asked to get on the list.

I hope you don't mind me highlighting this bit Ian but I'm just going to try and clarify a few things. Although you are correct in saying the discount is the same wether we buy 1 or 10 machines the amount of discount is not the same for every dealer. Not all main dealers are on the same discount level. Also not every dealer is a main dealer, a lot are subdealers (like us) who purchase through main dealers. So, if your local dealer is a stub dealer and he isn't getting the best of rates from his supplier then there is not much chance he can price match the lowest out there. If I sold saws at prices I have seen I would end up with £10 on a £500 saw and that's with us getting a very good discount from our suppliers! If I took the discount offered to us from the first supplier we contracted there would be £0 left. The margins are just so tight. Btw this isn't a whinge at all, this is the business we are in, it's just maybe with bearingthe above in mind when asking to price match.

Excellent, good to see you got it in time, Fedex probably need to take a bit of credit too.

If you can post a pic of the chain and bar. Banana cutting is usually chain related imo.

Ours is running a 20" 3/8 Full chisel and although I meant to run the A/T as per the manual we didnt and just used it flat out from the word go. Runs great and does exactly what we want. Never had any probs starting from running out of fuel, fuel up, pump primer and start as hot fires more or less first pull. It allowed me to put a 30" on the 046:001_smile:

Husky do list a 36" .404 bar available for the 390! I think the .404 is a bit big though tbh otherwise its a 3/8 28" unless you buy an oregon bar.

Got some stock of the small flippy caps in today. Most have been reserved but whats available is on the web site inventory. The next batch arent due in until the 11th of Nov.
