Power to the people (in limited amounts)

Did they drive to the job in electric vehicles ? What's the point of this article or of trying to achieve net zero while aeroplanes are flying over chucking tons out and ships deliver the goods from countries that are polluting the atmosphere making them ?
-
What oil are you using ? Old engine oil will probably run out quicker than proper chain oil.
-
It's not really an upgrade, just a change for convenience. You will not get the same power as 240v and you will have a limited cutting time till you run out of battery. The only one I have experience of is a Stihl MSA 60 with the toolless tension and I wasn't over impressed plus there were no cheap replacement chains as it is a fine pitch.

what is the most favoured top handle saw and climbing gear
peatff replied to manchester tree services's topic in Chainsaws
Looks like my £80 China 25cc one. It's been stood in the shed for ages but still starts and runs (on Alkylate fuel) whenever I try it. -
I would dispute the "most" bit. Round here they sell it at the yard in sealed bags but deliveries are all done in sacks
-
How else would they carry it to the bunker, one lump at a time ?
-
Is it better for saws as well as swings and roundabouts ? I buy whatever chain oil is on offer but not veggie as my saws stand about and that stuff attracts mice as well as congealing in the tank.
-
I asked about some but they haddock got any. Never a dull day with him around, kept me on my toes.
-
No it's a referral to an old post by a much missed Mendip member.
-
Can anybody recommend me a good foot spa ?
-
Take the oil pump drive out. If it is stuck to the crank it will drive the clutch instead of the other way round
-
You'll need to take the clutch off and clean it all out, check the oil pump drive etc. and grease the clutch bearing. I had similar with my 135 years ago.
-
That's a problem I never had.
-
Run it with a drill on the flywheel nut ?

Treemotion, Echo 2511. Well that's what I've read. My favourite climbing gear is a ladder and my saw is 25cc Chinese.😁 -
That's my method, I use 50:1 for some stuff but mostly it's Motomix or ***** for my saws. Weird it's not writing A S P E N 🙃
-
How do you measure 45:1 ? My 40:1 for the scooter is as close as I can get.
-
I'm surprised that ran in that state, is that a chunk out of the piston above the top ring ?
-
And it's only got one stud holding the clutch cover on, how has it survived ?
-
I have one stud and two stud saws and neither have broken in all the years I've been using them. If you don't handle them like a gorilla and just use the necessary force to tighten them there is no problem.

I just leave the door open a crack on our Hunter stove till the bigger pieces catch light, I have a piece of copper pipe to blow through if it needs a bit of assistance.
-
I like to time how long it takes for the fan to start up, it's all just a bit of frivolity but I think it does help distribute a bit of warm air. Aldi fan didn't cost much and amuses us so all good.

Self loosening systems always seem to be a letdown.
