    Old saws

    I've had a few fixer saws from Gumtree and not had any problems you just have to regulate your expectations and stick to your price range. If you just want rid of the saws put them on Gumtree or eBay at a price for the job lot and take near offers. Sell the tidy one separate if you want a bit more for it. Take the silencers off and check for piston damage, pull them over and check for sparks but don't make any wild claims and state no comebacks.
  2. Better avoided anyway in my opinion🙃
  3. Tie wrap, my answer to everything that comes apart and shouldn't 😄
  4. I've had my 135 for over 10 years and it's done lots of firewood with very few problems and none of them major, still runs well
  5. That's when bird's eye maple was three ha'pence a foot 😄 stanley+unwin+three+ha'pence+a+foot - Recherche Vidéos WWW.BING.COM
  6. If you have spare bits and it still works then you've improved the design👍
  7. WD40 and brake cleaner works for me because it's what I usually have to hand plus a good blow with the airline and a scraper made of plastic, repurposed old toothbrush kind of thing.
  8. It was the obvious solution 👍

    You're probably getting stronger 😊As above if it ain't broke try harder.
  10. For sale on Preloved, Stihl Ms 661 for the bargain price of £280 Chainsaw Stihl MS661 in good condition For Sale in Dunham Massey Altrincham, Greater Manchester | Preloved WWW.PRELOVED.CO.UK In excellent condition. The chainsaw has only been used twice for firewood for the winter and... , form an orderly queue
  11. I've got some like that it's so you can still use a smart phone🙃Nice piece of printing, makes the saw whole again.
  12. I sometimes get the wasps in the front room when it warms up a bit and they come out of the wood. I open the door and try to direct them out. They fly round like the coastguard helicopter once they get going.
  13. I'd start with a new sprocket/clutch drum and oil pump drive. They should have sharper edges and mesh together but those ones are well chewed.

    Stihl MS181c

    171 and 181 share parts, I'm sure the handle is the same on both. Not quite, just looked on L&S and they are one number different
  15. My saw always has air in the purge bulb but it runs perfectly, I don't think that has any bearing on the problem.
