That's pretty close to the bearing and looks like it's working it's way round. It will let go in a big way soon or if it is pulling air through the crack it will probably seize first. You should replace the whole crankcase as a matched pair but separate halves do come up sometimes. It's not a little job though. Link to harry's listing, it looks like something you might be able to use.

Does he know how to use a saw ? A friend of mine was having trouble with his firewood saw, chain coming loose along with clutch cover and when I looked at it with him he was not locating the adjuster pin in the bar hole. I explained what it does and showed him how to do it and turn the bar over (Oh no the writing is upside down !) and why you do it and sent him on his way. He has had no problem since

Wind before four shut that door Are we making old proverbs up now ?

Wind is getting up here at the moment, some 40 mph gusts according to the BBC site, raining as well

Is that a calendar or a girl Jon ?

I saw some CPL bags at the local Bargain Buys and they were not so much of a bargain as you say, looked to be about 7 or 8 softwood logs for £3.50

Holly leaves burn like Billy Ho there seems to be resin in them or something. Elderberry is associated with mystic rites and witches turned themselves into Elder trees according to old superstitions.

They should have repaired the saw and sent off the faulty part to the manufacturer not inconvenience you. Look at Citizens advice or Trading standards for some help with what to do next.

I'd like to thank the ladies of the foxy hunters, they've made an old man feel even older

When the change to unleaded was in progress the car I had ran like a bag of nails till I changed the spark retard valve in the vacuum pipe to the distributor and retarded the static timing another 4°.

You could run the exhaust through the front handle and turn the saw into XPG

You'd need some way to gear your grinder down to the 540 rpm that chipper says is it's maximum. Looking at the build quality it does look a bit "El Bonco manufacturing" I think I would steer well clear.

I've read it's better if you put them in an old car tyre. Geordie temperature chart here for you. GEORDIE TEMPERATURE CONVERSION CHART 25degC: Italians wear coats, gloves and woolly hats.

Takes longer than 10 minutes to get the rubber to stay on the screen while you get the string round it and lift it into place I always find

Good to hear you are getting sorted. My brother in law ran a groundwork business and had so many Stihl saws and whacker plates stolen it was cheaper to replace them than pay the increased premium for claiming so he stopped paying and stood to it but it was a big hit when he had his mini digger stolen.

Don't bother with second hand electric unless you have good provenance for the batteries and charger.

There's a bloke on gumtree who is selling a saw and he says he has Danarm spares, you could try him. He sells spares for a few different makes of vintage saw by the sound of it.

What is the difference running a smaller bar on 3/8" chain or .325 ? Some of the 60cc+ saws I've read about seem to offer either alternative.

20mph wind and rain and about 10°c here, it feels colder though.

I don't see where this is going sorry, I haven't said anything bad about the company just that they were expensive for a single diaphragm and I went elsewhere I'll try not to say anything that can be misconstrued in future.

Walbro like I said in the first post, it was a couple of years ago now. He was pleasant enough on the phone when I declined to buy and I would buy from them if I needed anything obscure or in a hurry.

Segway prototype was my guess

It's easy enough to understand, I spoke to a man on the phone and asked about parts for the Dynamac carb, he told me how much for the diaphragm alone and I declined because I could get a complete carb overhaul kit for about a third of the price. If I was stuck for the part or needed them in a hurry I would buy but I wasn't so I opted to go elsewhere.

That's why he's getting a new one for Christmas Nice vid.
