Leave your chainsaw at home then

I have a Birch tree in the garden and there are always Goldfinches in it at some point during the day. They also like teasels when they are dried out and brown so I encourage a few of those to grow as well.

A friend of mine who I went to school and worked with for many years had prostate cancer and was not early enough with a diagnosis. He died a couple of years ago at 62 as it had spread through his lymphatic system. Good to hear you were caught early and hope you stay clear. I'm the same age and have had bladder cancer operated on twice and was on 6 monthly then annual check up but now down to 2 year intervals as I have been clear for 5 years. Again good luck with your recovery and best wishes for the future.

You do know that's not a real thing don't you ? He went up fully prepared with a chute to get him back down, just didn't come down in exactly the predicted spot. I'd say he achieved 80% of his original objective unscathed so all in a good result. It's looking like thunder out so I'm just going to get my kite ready to fly, what's the feed in tariff nowadays as I see free electricity coming my way.

There's a stop screw on the top of the machine that adjusts to stop the cutter from coming down too far. Mine has a red screw top and locking nut. This video shows it but he doesn't mention adjusting it. You set the chain movement with the hinge piece that stops it moving too far then clamp it so you get all the teeth the same length.

That's the Lidl one same as mine, bright green in colour ? I've been using mine for a while with no problems but don't get greedy or you'll soon have no teeth left. You only need to touch the front edge of the tooth and don't go too deep into the gully.

Turn the screws in till they seat gently, don't wrench them tight. Then try 1.25 full turns out on each as a start Chris. It's not necessarily what they recommend but it's not going to be miles out. Have you definitely got a spark and compression if so try a spoonful of neat fuel straight down the plug hole and heat the plug on a gas ring or blow torch and stick it back in quickly then try a start with no choke.

I asked about metal cage bearings at Spire bearings as I was dubious about plastic and he assured me that the plastic cages are well up to the job if they are looked after and of a good quality to begin with and they retain lubricant better and stay cooler than metal cage. The cage is only there to locate the bearings which are the part that do the work.

I'll get him booked in for a respray

I made a two pin spanner out of an old socket to get the clutch off my 135 and it works fine. I wind the piston to the top and just leave room for the cord and have never had any problems with it trapping in the ports as they should be covered.

Tell us how it goes and we'll all eee with you

blindstickinsect on ebay. I had some carb bits and clutch springs no problem but a few have complained about service and quality. He has a shop called tree and grass spares on eBay but there are others on there like garden hire spares that I use as well it's best to check round and see who has what before you jump in and it still goes awry sometimes
-
Can I borrow him we have some chimneys to clean and our old one is getting too big and keeps getting stuck. I told the missus not to keep feeding him but she won't listen.
-
37° on our back yard yesterday but it's cloudy today and only got up to 28° under the gazebo.
-
I thought it was going to be a thread about recipes
-
Send it back and get one that fits properly a tap is going to cost you as much as a new clutch.

I saw a wasp on Sunday, it was studying a brick wall very closely. The longer they stay away the better as I have a phobia. When I get them round me I look like I'm boxing the invisible man I have been told.

Some Loncin engines use Honda spares, try Abbey garden sales they might help as they sell Loncin engines.

You want something like Scooter shack or sixteener special but really they are very simple. A few makes use the same power unit in different mopeds and you can get anything for them. Different belts and variator weights are what makes a difference to how they go and variators are restricted from the factory but easily modified. Is it a runner ?

I tried the search for chain for my 135 but it would not give me the option of 14" bar or 3/8" chain it says 13", 15" or 18" in .325.

Youtube here from 2012 of a chap on a motorbike who got hit by a falling branch, the odds are high but it must happen occasionally. Mute it cos he is a bit verbal. [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgqChIRJsX8[/ame]

What if it's green ?

Root balls tend to have a lot of figuring in them as well if you can get hold of any big butts that Jon hasn't claimed
-
Is it an underwater processor ? That is a hand held unit for use underwater so odds on it will have no lube for the bar.

Not necessarily, you can build timber frames and fill in with straw bales or skin with brick outside or you could go back to wattle and daub timber frame Tudor style.
