I've felled with mine on a 30" bar, they're a little heavy for day to day use, but so is an 880, for milling they're perfect! The manual oiler is very useful Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Why will it have more go? If the Venturi is larger you'll have to richen the mix. The only things that'll give more power are a muffler mod and portwork Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Got my nan to do a pose like miker's missus Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Yes both parts are still available, I priced them up when I rebuilt mine, bloody expensive! The FM starter is the only one recognised for the 090 anyway Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Yes, muffler, on the clutch side I have no idea how old my bar is though, stihl have lost the part number -.- Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Yeah, you're right, it's not a mere 6 footer, it's a 7 footer My bar is older though! As is my 090! Just had it fired up, the roar can't be matched! With a 5' bar the over-all height is over 6'6" so I imagine you'd be pushing 9' tip to tail! Roller or hardnose? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

No, they've decided to put single circuit 132kv on wooden poles so it changed in g55/2 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

No Jon, that's my 090 in my local dealers, but the first pic is rob d at the confor show last year Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Carb adjustments mate! Strip, decoke and clean the cylinder, piston and muffler, new carb kit and a retune Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

French people are crazy, mind, I bet a fair few old giants have been dumped because the owner couldn't figure how to start it! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

MORE THAN! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Send me the knackered saw if you don't want it I'll revive it Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

070 is smaller than an 880 (106cc vs 121cc) but the 090 is the biggest at 137cc Check eBay mate, there's an 090 on there now, they'll pull a massive bar! And if that's not big enough, order bars from America! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Yes, not very well but it will, you need something like the 070 or bigger really Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

What went wrong with the saw? Do you still have it? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

My 051, 020avs and 08seq don't, nor does a friends 009, any of the old huskies such as the 2101, or others fitted with the metal brake lever, so generally old saws Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I'll give your mate £20 for that 07s being as it has no chainbrake Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

So nobody should be in jail other than murderers and thieves by that assumption? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

That only works if the chainbrake is an inertia type, I can never see the point of it myself, it only activates when held a foot above a log and dropped, what's wrong with the old fashioned way of putting the brake on? Less damaging than bashing your saw on logs all day! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

An act is law, you know, like the health and safety at work act, or the wildlife and countryside act, or the town and country planning act, all of which are binding laws that are to be complied with, the regulations such as PUWER, loler, riddor and coshh are sub clauses within the same HASAWA law, which if you're an employer or carrying out works which has the potential to cause harm or injury, have to be complied with. Come on guys, you should be up to date with this stuff, not acting like it's just been written as a new law! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Yes, it's a chinker, they're underpowered, poorly built and generally the chainbrake works 50% of the time, until it gets a bit of dirt and then refuses to stop the chain unless the saw is at idle. It'll work for chopping firewood, provided you put it on a really short 12-14" bar and have a week to ring up. They're all based on the same zenoah (I think) but built to a minimal cost, so certain tiny details get missed, but on the same note, parts like the flywheel key are kept (I tore down an aldi saw) Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I didn't, sometimes you have to work to certain parameters though, from selection of species through to pruning techniques. You still failed to suggest a suitable alternative to a tree you instantly dismissed in the first post with no better reason than it makes poor firewood, which is contrary to what I have found, sure it isn't the best, but it'll start a fire. It produces shading if it gets too large. BUT, it's still a fairly ecologically biodiverse tree that produces habitat for specific wildlife, some of which relies on the soft wood and quick rotting, so to back up your dismissal, suggest an alternative that would meet my criteria. It's easy to complain how unfair stipulations are, do you moan to your tree officer when he limits what you can do on a tree? And I haven't changed the rules throughout the whole duration of the thread, other than lifting one to make it easier for you! So, I'm STILL waiting on your answer, unless you can't come up with one? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

This is what you said, I named 7 in total, you never made any stipulation other than a non-salicacea, of which I met your demands, you mentioned about native trees, one still met that criteria. I lowered my stipulations and you still haven't named a single tree! You immediately told the OP to destroy the tree, but when given a reason to keep it, you can't even suggest a suitable alternative for the requirements I gave for its retention! So I'm still waiting... Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

But why be so dismissive? You have still failed to give an example, all you've done is tried to argue that the tree has no value! You said name another tree that is poor firewood, I named 4 and 2 shrubs that can grow to a decent diameter, you argued that 5 were non-native, you never stipulated that prior, you only complained of my parameters. So as I asked before, name a tree that pollards well and is equally biodiverse, if not better, whilst being fairly fast growing? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Just because it blocks a large portion of light, doesn't mean it isn't ecologically biodiverse, there are many mycorrhizal, parasitic and decay fungi associated with salicacea, dependant invertebrates and vertebrates such as poplar hawk moth and willow tits. As for shading, I've found all sorts growing under goat willows, ramsons, orchids, ferns, heathers, mallows, foxgloves and much more Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
