    The carb was turned up that much before it was pulled apart, as for compression, I don't have any liquid gasket sealant, so I reasoned if I did it up tighter I wouldn't have to worry, it came away cleanly from the crank case, so I might have squashed it a little bit. I'm surprised the saw is still alive with the abuse it has had, felling seasoned dead oaks to clear felling Corsican pines on Cannock chase, to rough sawing fence posts, plenty of abuse for something labelled as homeowner/occasional use Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I'm trying to retune it, when I cleaned carb and reset it to factory settings the screws were about 2 1/2 - 3 turns out, there is no gasket, it's like a rubbery glue, I assume that's the liquid gasket spud mentions, I've just gotta retune it now, probably shouldn't have messed with the carb as much, got it idling now, I will just have to rich it up a bit and go from there Oh and air filter needs a damn good clean!

    Right, got it idling, but a bit lean, on this saw its more like 2 turns out, checked and re-checked comp, still 210! The 385 is only 180psi! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Hot compression of my 236! Spud would this stop it idling? Picture isn't very good, gauge reads 210psi! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I did say think, I have known them to move backwards if you start moving them backwards, I would guess its all down to the rotating weight thing Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I think the forward movement of a wacker plate is due to the shape of the plate, the actual vibration action of the wacker is a weighted revolution, bit like a crankshaft without the piston and rod Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Not any more, I've moved into greenkeeping, and I forgot parasitic fungi. I like to keep a hand in with tree work, I do it as a side line, but as I trained in conservation first, that is where my main focus lies, and the techniques that are in woodland management interest me greatly, as much has been lost over the years Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Plenty of windblown trees round here, just had forgot my keys to van and couldn't be bothered to dig out the drift, how's yours? You got/tried it yet? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Any direction that compounds the knowledge in our line of work, fungi is a good area to get into, as there are so many different types that affect the trees, be they saprophytic, or mycorrhizal, too many people just see fungi and have the tree out, I know I'm a bugger for removing anything with a bracket type fruit body, but they do rot trees, I think that the industry could benefit from short courses that give a qualification in conservation or arboriculture/silviculture. I would love to see an increase in conservation and a push to increase hedge laying or pollards and coppice work, with the increase of popularity of woodworking and firewood the latter 2 could be done for a better profit than growing it up, hacking it down and replanting. I find TO are a little too quick with that idea! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Ok, what can you recognise with trees? Fungi types and species? Management techniques? Associated dependant species? Could you identify down to taxonomical names? Most 'arbs' round here can't tell certain trees apart, they couldn't ID a tree if you pointed at them! They're so used to pruning, dismantling, and anything else that just means they wave a saw about, tell them you want dead limbs retaining or pollards and they give you a funny look, so in my opinion, a little bit of training and qualifications goes a long way (more than the basic NPTC tickets), although an interest past just doing the work, and at knock off time just switching off helps Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I would assume he means stuff more technical than pruning a few limbs off, such as the techniques used on the ecology threads, most 'arbs' can't tell a birch from a beech, so everything else is unknown, such as fungi, habitat, different management techniques such as causing hollowing, coronet cuts, branch fusing, and so on, most arbs will see fungi, and will remove the area affected, hollowing and remove, crossing limbs and remove the weaker limb, dead wooding (crown cleaning/clearing) etc. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    One of the blokes just ties a rope round the handles at my golf club, I prefer to just stand 3/4 down the bank and swing it myself, but just a bit of old rope works fine Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
