  1. Gumtree ad or there's a rotating one on as well.
  2. I'd put one in any way just to take the pee now
  3. The calculator on the NHS Direct website includes an age factor as well.
  4. So there could be a washer missing if it was fitted to the 346
  5. There's a Mac B&Q saw in my mate's shed in bits. I had a look at it and it's so badly made. The throttle cable end came off and you have difficulty getting even basic spares and the carb is not Walbro or Zama so spares for that are scarce as well.
  6. Could there be a washer missing ?
  7. Mine was like that when I got it but I bought the splined screwdriver and richened the low screw up a bit and speeded the tick over back up and it's as good as gold now. I used to have to switch the fast idle every time to restart but now it fires and pops along nicely.
  8. 135 only has one bolt, I never had a problem with it though.
  9. You can still get the 135 for under £200 from lawnmowersdirect and a couple of others but I've not seen MS181 under £200 from anywhere. I got mine for £189 a couple of years ago and it's been fine. A friend of mine had a 181 and had problems with oiling but it was sorted under warranty, new pump fitted.
  10. Think of a number double it and add £10 like your wife did. Then let them knock you down the £10 so they feel like they've got a better deal

    Jons in box

    When I read the title I thought Stubby was holding him hostage
  12. We had one made for our 12x5 trailer and it came with bungee cord, eyelets and buttons to fit on the trailer for £170. It's made of curtain sider sheet and is really tough. It might not be north enough for you though, Specialised Canvas Services. They kept the trailer overnight and rang me next day to say it was ready.

    He needs his own forum or at least a section
  14. What like ironing and hoovering ?
  15. I own Husqvarna, Stihl (saws) and Electrolux (cooker). I have a Honda and a Kawasaki as well. It's a lot cheaper to produce, repair or replace a plastic part.
  16. Air getting in somewhere or someone has tried running it weak on the H screw to get more revs out of it.
  17. My memory gets better as I get older, it's so good I now remember things that never happened and if you can't find the butter try looking in the microwave
  18. Yes but if you have to ask you can't afford her

    My accident

    Drink lots of lemon juice and other acidic beverages and you could be on to something, powering a battery with some kind of electrolytic reaction running an electric motor to drive the wheels.
  20. You could use a few strands of something thinner to make up a stronger resistance. Theraband flat or tubing gives good results on catapults and is available in different grades.
  21. Put the part number into Google 1145 007 1802 and it comes up with diyspares site. This thread shows what's in the kit posted by someone in Australia.
  22. I found rough brown box cardboard works well as an indicator of how much oil is coming off the chain as the stain darkens when it soaks in.
  23. Common sense is a very rare commodity
  24. You can see where the grub has come out on the right hand one. We used to pull them off to throw at each other as kids.
  25. Are you asking for opinions or cold hard facts ? They are both good firewood home-owner saws but your avatar looks like you will be putting them to different use. I don't have a 435 but I have a 135 and a friend of mine has a 181. I prefer mine and he prefers his but they both get the job done on a 14" bar. 435 runs 15" bar .325 chain instead of 3/8" if that makes any difference to the choice.
