  1. Saw it on there earlier someone got a bargain !!!
  2. How do you go about keeping constant check on cutter lengths? I mean I know you can tell mostly by eye and I always do the same amount of file strokes for each tooth, but the file will remove a different amount of material each time and IMO, you will always file slightly harder one way or the other depending if you are left/right handed. I'm not trying to say anyone is wrong, nor that I am an expert but I don't have time to measure all teeth, identify shortest cutter, file all cutters to the same length ect ect, while I'm at work. Get it sharp keep going. Please take no offense just wanted to speak my mind, the missus tells me off for doing so most of the time haha Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

  7. I'm rather keen to learn as well I have two 020av`s one is in bits more for spares as it is an older model without chain brake but the one with brake is incredibly difficult to release/engage I have taken it up a tree once but the brake really put me off climbing with it anymore
  8. Ahahaha that veet for men review is brilliant seen it before me and the boss were crying literally with laughter Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  9. Not entirely sure and can't check till tomorrow as its in the bosses shed I think I set it to 1 & 1/4 turns before I leaned it out, certainly goes like stink now did a small muffler mod and very mild port job compared to what I have seen on here
  10. Sorry to hijack the thread but does anyone know if you can get skip tooth chain in 3/8 .063 in the uk ? Or rob could you possibly make one up? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  11. All this talk about crosser/sports bike engines is getting very very interesting
  12. Quick question about tuning I have tuned a fair few saws but in regards to my 044 I tuned it to what I thought sounded right and worked well but last week I thought I would check the plug which was black. So I thought its tuned a bit rich so leaned it up a bit, but then it sounded too lean but after half hour I checked plug again. Nice tan color so would you guys say that even though it sounds like its screaming as long as the plug looks good its not going to explode ? Sorry for the essay I'm not too good at explaining things haha Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  13. I was given a bag full of part used chains from someone at Ernest does they supply the council around here never had a thought as to why they weren't just sharpened as they were free haha Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  14. It's ok Alec thanks for looking I can put up with cracked shroud but until I find a muffler it's just gonna sit on the bench if push comes to shove can get brand new one from L&S but would rather save a bit and get s/hand as the saw wont get used an awful lot Thanks again Tim Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  15. To be honest mate probably any of the mufflers will be fine and the exhaust shroud is like this one New Stihl Chainsaw Muffler Cover Shield Guard 050 051 075 076 Ts50 1111-146-6006 | Chainsaws Stihl
  16. If you don't have one Alec do you have an exhaust shroud that isn't cracked ? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  17. Have you got a muffler ? (Fingers crossed)
  18. Would you possibly have any 075/076 spares Alec ?
  19. When you search on their site. If you don't have the part numbers just search "stihl 051" which will bring up everything then just hunt for what you want if u have no luck I can give you the part numbers when I get home from work Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  20. I believe you can buy both parts you are looking for from L&S engineers just search for them on google Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
