  1. It wasn't George Washington was it ?
  2. He landed on a ladder and had to go back to the start
  3. They've used chainsaws a couple of times, once in the studio to cut up the cool wall looked like an Echo and in Bolivia to build a bridge, something like an 08S. [ame= ] [/ame]

    Tree ID?

    Dead.
  5. I wonder if they take turns in the barrel ?

    Stihl 034

    I've got an early 036 with no decompress looks like the same saw. If you just want it to look nice paint the metal bits. Mine is on an 18" bar.
  7. He sends letters out purporting to be a Nigerian prince occasionally as well Allegedly !
  8. This is probably something to look at, it is confusing. If you add it to your basket it says it is supplied by Rye oils.

  9. Your Christmas lasts a lot longer than ours I've got some oak on the pile and it burns alright if you split it smaller, it doesn't flame much though.
  10. The Chinese Husqvarna copies are too orange and the dark parts are black instead of the grey that Husqvarna uses. Also the filler caps are wrong and the choke is a button you pull out instead of a lever and the stop switch is a toggle.
  11. I've not seen a diaphragm go like that, good idea to countersink the holes.
  12. Keep an eye out for my friend's mate Muff, he has a gite not far from there and likes to go to the harbour and eat his jambon fromage baguette, little bloke with grey hair usually wearing light brown Farrahs I just reported my message and noticed Jonny was banned. I hope it doesn't ruin my chances of getting rich by sitting in front of my computer it'd suit me to the ground in this cold weather.
  13. If it's been running on it's side like that the engine will be knackered, I'm out
  14. I hope you sent them back and complained, you could nearly buy a cow for £80 up here It's rained and snowed all day here and more of the same tomorrow according to the forecast.
  15. Will only licensed mechanics be allowed to service the saws ? Any old Tom, Dick or Ronny can mend their own car, let's stop them at that. I'd better surrender my 036 me being a home user, can I still use my 135 ?
  16. There's a little button on the video where you can turn the sound down or mute it completely if you don't like it
  17. It sounds like the hardest part of the job is taking the silencer off the saw then, don't the workshops have basic maintenance tools like a welder ?
  18. It would be 30 minute job to cut it in two, tack the baffle in place and weld it back together. It would cure the problem till they get your new silencer and if the baffle is an interference fit it's a design fault and it's going to happen again anyway as the heat cycling will guarantee.
  19. Emma Peel, beats orange peel
  20. It's just 2 stroke oil with stabiliser, what grade is the actual oil as you can buy stabiliser separately. Briggs and Stratton sell their own version. You could use stabiliser in your fuel before you mix it with your regular oil to better effect.
  21. That's Bonanza Everybody's jumping on the wagon train now.

    stihl 020

    You mean you have to tighten it up to get it off, whatever next ? I assumed he knew that as he had the clutch off not long ago which made me think of the oil pump engagement which might also be the reason it is now a pig to remove It sounds like time for a bit of brute force and ignorance I think
  23. [quote=Woodworks;1261294Splitting an 18" round 8 ways and cutting 20" long would leave a log about right to go through my processor I'd get to use my saw to cut it in 3 to fit in our log burner
  24. How old are you, you can't get one for less than 2 and threepence these days.
  25. These ones
