It's quite a common fault if you go on the l200 forum the guys on there will be able to help. Think you will find its a costly repair/replacement engine. Trouble with the k74 is it originated from a 70's petrol engine and is a pile if crap. I have one but luckily for me it's not been to bad apart from the constant rocker gasket leaks, turbo pressure issues etc etc and the serious lack of power.

I know of a few contractors who have done it in the south east England. We got round it by doing the next level of nptc/lantra tickets ie cs32 etc as long as the next unit is higher than your previous you don't need to do fisa refresher. We still have to register with them but don't need to do there version of the course.

After a cracking week thinking I best look at personal injury insurance. Anyone out there got a top quality cover that actually pays out rather than the petty minimal allowances. I'm talking mortgage machine finance etc etc. Even for the repair bills/surgery costs!
-
There has been a number of recalls, carbs chips starter pulleys and oil tank gasket depending on age. Ask the dealer when you take it in.
-
Take it back to your dealer get the chip reset then get them to replace any of the recall parts on it. Once back remove spark arrestor and should be Ok. We run 5 of them and have no problems with any.

Try a company called abc first aid we had them for our job specific first aid dealt with forestry based injuries. A lot of major flesh cuts crush injuries and what ever else might happen when felling. They also make up kits for the industry.

finding hardwood firewood is crazy
Elmsdown Forestry replied to CP WOODFUELS's topic in Firewood forum
If anyone wants hardwood I've got bout 1000 ton on the ground. Mix of oak with little bit hornbeam or ash with birch. Can't guarantee its all available as I'm contracted to get roadside only. Can put real buyers in touch with the seller. -

I know where there is plenty on hardwood for sale in South east. Ash birch mix on one site oak and small amount hornbeam on another. -
Used the k&h triple not a bad wedge for the price. Been using hard heads but even they snap. Maybe it's time for hi lift plastic inserts!!

Anyone used one? Are they any good for ground level felling?

Personally I would go for a husky 365 maybe a little more ££ but one hell of a saw and will last a life time if not used on regular basis. I ran one on 18inch for about 3 years and nothing I done would trouble it. Second hand would not recommend you don't know who it's been used by and how! I know 2 second hand bought recently both duffs and weren't cheap. Be careful if that's the route you choose.

Interesting attachment

Been thinking of having my 576at ported if anyone interested

My previous post regards oregon oil come straight from my local dealers. One has stopped selling it due to the poor quality of the oil. The new xtorq engines are high revving so needs good quality fully synthetic oil same as any high performance engine. You wouldn't put cheap engine oil in a race bike car boat etc same thing here. As to husky warranty spec if you use a cheap oil it's not the manufacturers fault if the engine overheats and goes pop. Maybe you should check with your dealer...
-
I'm sure it will be the oregon oil as I said on another post it's been slated by 2 dealers one husky and one stihl. Apparently it's so crap you have to use it at 25:1. I've only ever used husky xp in all my new 560 576 372 395 and never had a pot piston problem. Trouble is husky will prob want to see the saw and oregon oil stains the internals and they won't repair under warranty unless you use a synthetic oil.
-
A few dealers of both husky and stihl have said that they don't recommend any Oregon 2 stroke oils and I know husky won't do any engine repairs on saws that have used it within the year warranty period.I know of a few guys who use it and saws have seized and that was the response from stihl. I have always used xp oil on all autotune saw and never had and scoring or bearing issues. Apparently they can tell because the Oregon stains the internal parts red. This may have been your issue.

390 will be to much saw for normal felling you will be better off with 576 that will easily run a 24inch bar and I know guys using 28 comfortably. I run my 576 on a 20 and it's fine, anything heavier is an occasional saw only for proper big fells. If your after a 576 I have one for sale if your interested.
