Kryptonite always saps my enthusiasm, and my super powers. Only the green stuff though and lead shielding helps against it.

What size stump are you leaving ?

Clever is more importanter than big biceps. Brains are brilliant and everyone should have them. Stefan should do a motivational video.

Any plastic will give up if you give it enough abuse whether it looks shiny or what. I remember a couple of Echo saws with problems due to broken plastic , one with casing broken and another that broke on the front of the oil tank where the plastic was worryingly thin but there are also lots of metal saws broken as well.

We did a purple one about like that with about a foot of root ball and it was dug up then replanted with no special preparation just a hole and firmed in then watered and it's still growing after about eight years.

They edit the price to stop people bidding when they have no stock then edit it back, it saves paying to advertise again if they take it down and put it back up. You see it a lot if you go looking for shop items.

That's not far from me.

Only one fire damaged tree I've seen round here is an Alder which was struck by lightning about 40 years ago. It's next to a brook far from any houses and the tree is still growing minus the top.

I'm old (63) and I still have a go occasionally just for fun but I don't take my shoes off, I'm no hippy. As kids we used to climb up to nests in a local rookery and those trees were 60 feet tall. We used to take 6" nails to knock in to get to the lower branches so I bet we caused a few problems but the trees are still standing

But how did it get into the crankcase via the carb, is the fuel under pressure and forced through the carb because the tank vent is blocked ? I have been tinkering with engines for 50ish years from Lambretta and BSA Bantam days and when they leaked fuel it was under gravity and any fuel in the crank evaporated leaving the oil so when you got a start it was very smoky till it burned off or it oiled the plug and wouldn't go
-
That's the bit I can't understand. The carb is not connected to the cylinder direct as the fuel vapour goes in, round the crank and then in through the port and the saws I have all have the tank lower than the carb and fuel has to pump in via the metering diaphragm unless the saw is hung up in some way.
-
Not something you could ignore and break the cord 3 times really then ? I just couldn't see how enough neat fuel got above the piston through the carb on a saw when the tank is lower down than the carb. Cheers for the answer Spud.
-
Can someone explain how you could hydraulic lock a saw without pouring fuel straight down the plug hole and fitting the plug back in then pulling it over ? Someone has told me their saw hydraulics and breaks the pull cord but I have never seen it happen and can't see how enough fuel would get into the squish area when it would have to travel through the crank case and in through the inlet port as a liquid and not as a vapour which the carb puts out. Once the plug is wet you can smell the fuel so you would have to be pretty dumb to keep pulling long enough to fill it with fuel.

Petition to get Nigel Farage onto the EU Referendum Debate

I've never had a problem with immigrants but if you read about the problems in Sheffield with Romany families and more local to me the Polish workers in Shirebrook which I have seen happening then you could probably see why some are not quite so understanding. -
I'm amazed the thread has got to 32 pages, the saw must be brilliant

One of Farage's policies was to get rid of the NHS, richer people probably don't need it but a lot of us do. -

If he gets elected the CIA will bump him off before he can do too much damage -

I have a Portapak, don't need to google it. Not something your average burglar carries about with them though.

They need a lorry to carry the cylinders and pipework, sure you'd hear that pulling up on your drive at home.

Been there done that, leave it to the young lads now.

That looks like a Perky Peckers box You'll spot which one laid it by the expression on it's face I bet.

Show a picture of the choke control knob just out of interest, they never got that bit right on the copies.
