Richen L screw 1/8, then adjust LA screw until it idles correctly, if it still misbehaves, it's the pump piston in the carb, there's a little rubber o-ring on the piston Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Looked at (and used) 260/261, I find them rather sluggish, sure they have more power to lean on, but the husky will have finished the tree a good few mins earlier. I have a 560, I have no issues with it. On another note, if you buy a new saw, what ever it be, run it hard from word go! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I'm gonna have to agree with spud and gardenkit here rich, I've never needed anything like that, I bought a cheap set of torx Allen keys for a few quid, and I only use 3 of them, the t27, 25 and 20, I learned to tighten without shearing bolts (as breaking bolts where I work would mean replacing hydraulic drive motors from my own wages!), I wouldn't use a torque wrench as they are expensive and rather pointless, I can get a bolt within 10 ft/lbs of a wrench with a normal spanner or socket.

I use it on mid sized oaks, so I can wedge em, but I use it where ground damage avoidance is priority, I forgot to do it on one tree, it ripped the hinge and wrecked an area of sports turf Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Bloody hell he has been busy! Cs30/31, cs38/39, a lad on UA2.1/2.2/2.3 cs40, and loler inspection on my gear Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Oh, sounds similar to a tongue and groove, those are for more control over felling, such as 90 deg to lean and such Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Only if you work on FISA involved stuff Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Cost, weight, application of use, you can still use a ported saw for normal use! If I said I wanted my 560 ported so I could run a 24" bar for felling 4' trees, milling etc, but still drop down to 15" bars for day to day stuff, rather than buying a bigger saw like my 385 is for use on high days and holidays Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Boring the face is just for stuff bigger than twice guide bar, what you sound like your describing is a standard fell, dog tooth or possibly a big pie cut Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Started in conservation work, did a lot of tree clearance, and woodland work, really enjoyed the tree work, and it was easy to earn a few quid more Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

IMO it should apply to everyone, a demo of what you know, teach a few new skills, and you're done, what it shouldn't be is an assessor reteaching what you already know, nor should it be the price it is! I work with blokes who need refreshers (IMO) but as its an advisory who the hell does it? It's down to the operator at the end of the day, can you say you know it all? Do you want to push trainers to teach new stuff, or is what you know sufficient? Between cs31/32 they only teach a handful of cuts as standard! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
