  1. Worm wheel sounds like a toy for a pet worm😁
  2. That plastic plug thing is your worm drive for the oil pump, looks well mangled.
  3. I sharpen as soon as they start to blunt and stop making chips, nothing worse than struggling along trying to force the cut.
  4. It seasons quicker if you split it down while it's still green as well. 🥲
  5. Looks like an Aliexpress seller so most likely a Chinese replacement coil.
  6. I've never seen it but a friend of mine claimed it happened to his old MZ bike a few times and he did have a witness to confirm it.
  7. No number sorry I bought it on eBay a few years ago, I thought they were all like that.
  8. The tool I have for my 135 Mk1 tapers so it might fit both.
  9. 🤯 £6 will get you a full English most places I eat, is Gordon Ramsay cooking for you ? Birch is popular with spoon carvers, especially while it's still green and it's good for kindling when it's seasoned. I got a load on freecycle last year, cup of tea while we loaded it as well 👍
  10. That's the one, my apologies to Jamie and keep up the good work MattyF 👍 Testing to destruction neds to be done you should get saws donated from the manufacturer.
  11. I bet Spud knows someone who could kill it. Where's Jamie ?
  12. 038 was available in standard, super and magnum version, why ever you'd want one covered in chocolate and nuts is beyond me though 🤥
  13. It will run cooler with the cat removed, they get red hot in operation.
  14. Was Fanny Barber there as well ?
  15. Nowt so queer as folk is the saying I use. My gran wouldn't entertain teabags as they were made with sweeping ups from when proper tea was made.
  16. We've always used loose tea, Co-op 99 brewed in a pot teapot but just before Christmas couldn't get any so had to use tea bags or go without. Back on loose tea as soon as possible though.
  17. I tried a cheap piston in my Stihl 044 and it's been fine since, never missed a beat. A couple of broken fins won't make much difference, I'd try cleaning it up first.
  18. What I see.
  19. Ask in the firewood section, this is about chainsaws 😁
  20. £8 a bag in Tesco the other day worked out at about 80p per piece of wood. They don't have a sell by date on them either so they'll not be getting any cheaper.
  21. Definitely, it wouldn't hurt to freshen up a bit.😉 Womn lovew the smell of Jizer.
  22. This sounds pretty obvious, have you had the valve apart to see what's happening inside ? It's 25 years old and might need a little TLC, some Jizer and a blow down wouldn't hurt it.
  23. There was a clean looking one on Gumtree recently went for £750. You can buy a new MS881 for £1500 I would not pay £1000+ for something 10 years old.
  24. I bought a MS460 with a stripped plug hole that someone had completely mangled. I took the cylinder off and it was beyond repair but there was a new Stihl P&C on ebay so I fitted that. The carb had been messed with and I had to take the limiters off to turn the H&L screws and when I looked at the original piston the lands had broken up between the rings.
  25. I used to buy Rotatech chains from Northern Arb supplies but now they have changed the name to rotatechproducts.com so it looks the other way round to me.
