Must be good compression on that 460 to run diesel

I don't think of Stihl as old unless they start with 0 like my 036 or a 2 if they are Husqvarna like the 266xp and they are still good saws.

I think it's topsy turvy land of William Petts

Choke and fast idle ? Once it coughs on choke the choke is shut off and fast idle engaged. It could be the linkage to the carb that needs tweaking, the piece of springy rod probably lost it's tension and needs bending a bit. The other one sounds like it might need to be a bit richer if the carb is alright.

He did you a favour there I bought my 036 locally on Gumtree and was a bit suspicious when the seller wanted to meet me in a lay-by but it was his dinner break and the lay-by was outside the factory gate and the saw ran and has been a good one so far with a bit of work.

It looks a big chunk of metal to carry about in a tree.

Drag it out and get some demolition yard doors nailed to the back of the wall then see what the council thinks.

There's a very complicated pdf about rapid in vitro detection if that's any use. -
They are called freeze plugs in some countries, not usually reused though. They are sold by size and don't cost much. Clean the hole out well and fit with a bit of sealant.

Our little Hunter stove doesn't hold that much wood, I'll stick with my tried and tested paper, sticks then chunks method.
-
I just asked next door's dog what the weather's like and he said "rough". It's wet and windy but he's no meteorologist
-
I do it with the brake off so I can see when the clutch engages and starts the chain running.
-
If I can't find any info I usually start 1 or 1.25 turns out on both and set the tickover up while keeping it running on the trigger then fine tune the L screw to stop any bogging
-
About 50 mph wind here and stopped raining now but more to come.
-
It's a Walbro, do the screws have limiter caps ?
-
You say it starts with the brake off but does the chain run all the time as well ? Mine did that and the oil pump drive had seized to the crank.

As long as the pipe fills the grommet in the tank wall and doesn't leak it should work whatever it is made of (if it's fuel resistant)
-
I've never taken notice before but I saw a big clump in an Ash tree in Cromford as I was riding past the other week. It seems odd to see green in an otherwise dormant tree.
-
It looked like a recipe for disaster eventually if you have to keep shoving it back while cutting The tree was amazing how it held all that water. I'd have been tempted to cut it off and fill it with soil and plant something in the top.
-
I bet it brings a tear to your eye Take the plug out and pull it over a few times see if it's sticking in any one spot.
-
It's glue innit ?
-
As my grandson said to me when he was still into things like this " It's not a doll it's an action figure granddad"

I have a cheap hydraulic splitter and I got some oak which split quite reasonably when it was fresh. A few pieces got put aside and only a month later the little splitter wouldn't look at it and the maul and wedges were hard going.

I wonder if they are going to do a 2 seater convertible version ?
