  11. Does anyone know if the 070/090 cylinder and piston kits fit the contra range? I have a lightning with a damaged exhaust port and wondered if I could just buy a new pot n piston, or would I need to repair the port Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

  13. Thinking about it, the top half of the drive might have been inserted from the bottom, it needs to be inserted from the top, I had this when I repaired mine Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

  16. As I said when they first came out, computers on saws are a bad idea, you only need to look at an ecu on a car or lorry, when they work, they're good, my saw is great, but I don't think that after 2 years of knocks, weather and fuel they will last, more over, can they go in an ultrasonic cleaner?

  17. You're talking about standards 50 years ago, I'm sure even modern china can match that Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  18. Ok, I stand corrected in that detail, but you get the idea Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  19. May be identical, but if it was given the Mitchell's name it's a fake, leave off the brand name, hell, even whack your own on, and it's perfectly legal, so you could have a Stubby's mark 3 spitfire, or a Stubby 070, but as it is the OEM brand name, it's fake Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  20. No, it wouldn't be a Mitchell's, same as these stihls, they aren't made by stihl, they might be reproduction parts made in the stihl china factory, but they aren't signed off by stihl, it's what copywrite is all about Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  21. As long as it isn't advertised as a Mitchell's mark IV spitfire Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  22. Yes, look at the nuts Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  23. It's the same as a 2 stroke, the fuel lubricates the crank and cylinder, but it fires on every other rotation like a 4, with the valves and cam controlling the engine Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  24. But if you do the refresher YOU are up to date AND have more experience! I will refresh in another few years and I will foot the bill, why? Because I will be up to date, I hope they do it like the UA tickets, where you refresh the highest one, but I doubt they will, but it won't bother me, because I would still need to do 32, 38 and 39 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  25. Yup, TCD has much better alternatives to a new 261 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
