  1. I would recommend 40:1 if you're using stihl oil, you forget that the manufacturers assume the purchaser of this machine will use cheap 2-stroke oil Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    No, they were celebrating freedom from a situation similar to the fascist dictators of ww2 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  3. Never really found I need to, was told by some to do that, others say just use the thing, I prefer going straight in at 50:1, and working it hard, I found I got more compression and power that way Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  4. What's wrong with having a cigarette whilst working? I smoke whilst fueling, using the tool, cleaning the carb in an US filled with white spirit, whilst cleaning the tools with petrol or WS, etc. not caught fire yet! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  5. My brushcutter states 40:1 and I use 50:1, if the mix is decent it won't matter, but on the original subject, buy the husky balance XT harness if you can, best harness I've ever used, not even stihl come close to it! And my brushcutter is a ryobi 40cc jobie as good as any medium stihl or husky, apart from AV, that's terrible Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  6. Yes, you can richen the mix up slightly, but if you really want to beef it up speak to spud about porting it Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  7. There's only one king, and it has a crown on its emblem Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  8. Hawthorn, spent a few weeks with half an eyebrow due to heat from a hawthorn fire Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Yeah, you might have learned another language, Russian maybe, and the new pope wouldn't be preaching about the Falklands, we would be millionaires, a million rubles in the bank sounds nice Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    That's what I thought, when everyone else runs out, we have our own and the Falklands in reserve Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    And I'm sure that a lot less people cheered at the death of Neville chamberlain, and his actions were far more devastating Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I wasn't there, but I believe she did her job, and did it well, she killed the unions crippling the country and she defended our lands from invaders. Yes some people suffered, but under EVERY government some suffer, some profit, but it seems that the Tories have to dig us out when labour has left us neck deep in shite! Those mining communities still sulking deserve nothing less, they should have moved on, if people don't like something they should get off their arse and do something about it, the legislation and laws keep changing regards to tree work, would we organise a strike? I for one wouldn't strike, it wouldn't do anyone any good, and it didn't then. Yes, she did some bad things, but we all have/do. IMO Blair did worse for us, and some of YOU voted him in!

  17. My 385 won't override the chainbrake, that's 85cc! As for using the brake, as and when I move more than a few steps, if the chain is a bit slack, the clutch will drive the chain around, also, my saws are tuned on aspen, so if I use normal petrol mix, the saws idle a bit higher, and also drive the chain Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  18. Pole pruner done, note for others, the springs are a PITA to get back in the tube! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  19. Cheers rich, I've gotta get a little metal piece to bolt on for it, left it at work, it's amazing to think, this has been such an easy fix, yet where I work just bought a new one instead! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  20. Stihl are always 30, unless ripping chains, oregon 25 for chisel, 30 for others chain types by oregon Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

  23. Anyone know where the blue and black wires on a stihl stop switch connect to? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  24. Yes, but you're starting to talk FAC air guns for foxes, you want a minimum of a full power hunting airgun, and probably with prometious pellets or logun penetrators Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  25. Only realised this after, noticed the number was a local one Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
