We have access to a long abandoned orchard, it's not our land but this apple tree is a huge producer so we want to give it some care in return. It has a number of dead branches, should we saw them off , if so when do we do it and do we treat the stumps with anything ?

I just mixed a 25:1 instead of a 50:1 by mistake, is there a trick to add more fuel ? I am number illiterate so maybe I could work it it out but my brain cell would hurt and I'd need a lie down.

Are the no name carb kits on Ebay worth fitting for a low use non pro saw ? or where can I get a quality one from ?

I have this 2065 that is dripping oil from the sprocket/ underneath area, seems to be coming backwards from the oil tube back into the saw , or possible between the sheet metal part and the bar or saw body, though the bar oil hole is clear and oil is getting to the chain. The oil is turned up to max and always has been. Wondering if making some paper gaskets would help ?

What is a trashed 200t worth as parts? I think I will go for a battery fop handle saw as I only use it for covert firewood gathering, side of the road stuff, a few cuts and I'm gone, like Zorro.

I have an old knackered MS200t to rebuild for my own use, I just use it for scrounging firewood not trade use, is there a non OEM cheaper brand of parts that I can use ? I will need bearings, piston and cylinder, carb rebuild kit ect.

What's the best pull start cord you can buy online by the metre ? I need thin for chainsaws and thicker for generators in the 3- 8 kw range.

Grass area just north of 3 Locks pub, by water taps , either side of black and white rail fence.

I have a spare worn out MS200t that isnt worth rebuilding with expensive Stihl parts for a saw i dont use much, non OEM cylinder and piston can be got for less than £20 , I'm aware that you get what you pay for and they are made in Pakistani sweatshops from recycled scrap metal , has anyone used these parts and what the problems were ?

My folding Silky saw arrived yesterday and yes they are good, I can see how much work has gone into the blade compared to other saws.

Ordered a Silky.

What brand of folding saws is equal cutting ability to Silky saws but at lower cost?

I have a Jonsered 2065 and the chain oil is coming through from the pump but even though all the oil channels are clear in the bar I'm not getting any visible oil on the chain, my normal setting is maximum and I have always started every sawing session with an oil test to check its spraying off the bar tip, I'm not getting anything now and its the same bar. Any ideas whats gone wrong ?

I've got a well used Jonsered 2065 which I think lacks power, I gets bogged down even on 10 " diameter logs, and its only got a short bar on it, from what ive read this saw can take a much longer bar, and is a pro saw not a toy, my question is what's the probable cause of losing power, and how do I diagnose the problem, or get back to factory power levels ? I've got a pressure / vacuum tester, bore gauges, and a spare clutch.

I use a Jonsered 2065 for proper logging, I use a small saw to process branch wood, or hoover up fallen branches when I'm out and about.
