  1. Buggers up the starter IMO, especially on the ring starters Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  2. On the 560 it's actually recessed into the metal, the hole doesn't go through Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  3. Those the wheels I posted you? You did well to get all the tape off Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  4. Why not drop start? I did whilst my 090 was just a contra, and I do with the 051, tbh I find it preserves the starter ring that little bit longer. Unless you've got a longer bar, then don't! And as wisecobandit said, you need a stubby combi wrench to get the plug off, and a special tool to get the clutch off, trust me, belting it with a hammer and screwdriver doesn't work! Plus for £3 it's no skin off your nose. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  5. You know a 560xp would look nice in that line-up Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  6. Almost forgot! I have pictures of the bar! The 2nd pic is the smaller bar on top to get the bar pattern 11090009276 is the stihl part number Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  7. Keep it for rebuilding the engines, I smear it on the inside of a cylinder when fitting a new piston Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  8. It'll be fine at this time of year, I've dug em up at work in summer, chucked soil on the roots and they're still green Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  9. Points! It's probably a tool for the old 2-man types Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  10. Ah! Dustbin and buy proper trusty stuff, I seized two saws running 33:1 cheap crap! On a similar note, running an oil rich mix will cause coking, overheating, and at worst, carbon flakes can break off and score the engine that way too! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  11. It's either a chinker, or old, either way, stihl oil is 50:1 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  12. Running the saw rich also glazes the bore, lowering compression, and decreasing power, the saw has enough power to pull a 14" pico super chain with the gauges filed down to .75mm through 24+" softwood trees, so all you are doing is lowering the efficiency of the saw, at the same time, you're costing yourself more in fuel and lubricants to get the job done, the 33:1 rating is for cheap oil, whilst the 40:1 is just so it averages out, if you're using the best, run it at the saws best! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  13. Yes, and running richer on either of those oils just craps your engine up, and as less petrol is in the mix, you loose power, it doesn't lean the mix as in an engine lean seize, as in you have too little combustibles to actually run the engine Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Nice saw, newer than my 051, but still prior to the brake-mounting crankcase, if you remove the starter/fuel tank assy, the date of manufacture is inside, also it'll let you know which type of starter it is as the ring type is NLA Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  15. 50:1 stihl or husky oil, or aspen, and remove the spark screen Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  16. Cheers bud, will get pics up once it's made Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  17. Ally billet arrived, cheers Chris! What's the postage cost? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  18. You're not even scratching the surface until you gear it up! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  19. C'mon stubby, even you're not that old and frail you can't manage an extra 5g! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  20. Yeah, a trip to A&E is free, as is healthcare Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  21. Mushroom farm? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  22. When you say quite warm? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  23. Pm me the cost and your PayPal address then mate Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  24. Niko, all you have is snow up there, nothing catches fire there! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  25. At least the bar will last a fair few chains Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
