Is that why it smells like almonds/marzipan when it goes through the chipper? I remember good ol ray mears mentioning that tannins/cyanide smells like almonds....... I may be wrong and imagining this haha

Killing the saw in the cut is I suppose similar to plug chop I was told to do on my yamaha dtr 125 im guessing its to do with fuel being burnt under load, maybe someone else will have a better explanation than me
-
It may possibly be down to my porting job just gutted as the saw was a gift to me and spent most of its time felling commercially, was nice to bring it back to life after sitting in the back of a shed for god knows how long
-
It's the way to do it although occasionally you find someone else already had that idea haha
-
Mild porting spud and only the edges of the port not top or bottom, and the saw been used a fair bit since then with no problems. I was cutting a stump down when it just spluttered, backfired then stopped

Also I did get a 660 pot and piston to put on a while ago from ghs and the quality was rubbish what are those hyway kits like ?

It was the original cylinder with a meteor piston and Yeh it's mendable but I haven't got the spare cash to be throwing at it at the moment more a case of goodbye for a good while

Didn't really know where to post this ...... One of the properties we look after is being sold, so recently we have been clearing the vast number of sheds and stables today I found some milled elm boards about 12 ft Long but need to look through them as there is bit of woodworm in the boards I can get at, also found an old granberg file and guide what I'm most interested in is this old axe, it says elwell 5. Worth keeping ?
