  1. These ones
  2. It looks a bit dark but it's not fouled and sooted up. Leave it if it's not causing a problem it's better a bit rich than getting it too weak.
  3. If it's still running rough under load when you are cutting wood it may be over rich but if it is a new saw leave it till it's had some run time and if it goes for a service it should be sorted then. Use it for a while and don't worry about it. I don't know if the saw also has a rev limiter but it could also be something like that causing it if you are running it but without cutting.
  4. That sounds about right if it cleans up when it's cutting. You adjust the L (low) if it's hesitant before picking up revs or if it will not tick over along with the T (tick over) The H (high) circuit needs to be a bit rich at the top end which is the roughness you hear or it will overheat and lean seize eventually.
  5. I wanted some crocodile shoes but they don't wear any Is Jimmy Nail bent ?

    Gloves?

    Surgical ?
  7. Watch a youtube video then buy a 3/8" sprocket clutch drum and fit it in place of your present one. Pay attention to where things come from and go back in the same place and grease the bearing while you are in there.
  8. Lo Pro is only the cutter profile, your chain is still 3/8" isn't it ? Are you fitting a bigger sprocket otherwise your old one should be fine unless it is worn out. Are you changing from .325 to 3/8" ? [ame= ] [/ame]

    Stihl 08s

    Someone on Preloved is selling a bunch of these, some have chain brakes. I thought they were bigger capacity than 56cc, running 20" bars seems optimistic.

    About the only thing you can get wrong is the oil pump drive engagement.
  11. Send the IP address to a moderator and get it blocked so they can't access anything on the site. They are probably phishing for emails and phone numbers.
  12. Call them all you like but that saw has had a whack on or with something. The stiffeners are all bent. The Dolmar looks a nice saw with the double dogs and I hope you get on well with it.
  13. This content is currently unavailable. Is it because I'm not on there or does everyone get that mesage ?
  14. American Magpies are just like ours, they do have a yellow billed variety but they are still black/blue and white. That video is a youtube one of an Australian magpie song. [ame= ] [/ame]
  15. People see a dead tree with ivy growing and assume that the ivy caused it's demise. I've seen it growing up telegraph poles and causing them to lean so the wind resistance must cause some loading but trees usually adapt by thickening up or growing more branches to counterbalance a gradual load. Does ivy tap into the tree for nourishment, the adventitious roots are very tenacious when it gets into the mortar course on old walls and I've had to use a sharp hoe to fetch it off a few times. I guess Sycamore for the original post.
  16. I signed a while ago, I get mine from Spa engineering Chesterfield. I don't use a lot of fuel so the cost is not that relevant and it saves well and reduces maintenance.
  17. Your version is wrong it doesn't have a five in it Didn't anybody watch Magpie in the 70s, theme tune by Stevie Winwood ? [ame= ] [/ame]

    The advert was one pulling itself up on a winch I remember being quite impressed with it. [ame=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtgvu8gTaQY]video[/ame]
  19. We had some bacon rind on the bird table outside the back door and I watched a magpie pick a beak full out then go into the lean to where it proceeded to hide it in my woolly hat on my bike carrier Jackdaws are cleverer, they are real characters.
  20. Get onto your CC company and tell them it's a fraudulent withdrawal, you didn't authorise it and if you didn't hear anything from the police you want it reimbursed.
  21. Seeing as he is on the computer and posting about his experience I think we can assume he's safely out of the woods.
  22. Chew their leg off Be careful in these situations depending how tight the trap was as their can be secondary complications with toxins built up in an immobilised trapped limb flooding into the bloodstream and causing heart failure. It happened to a chap I worked with who was trapped by the leg under an overturned fork truck guard. He was freed apparently unharmed and got up walking round then collapsed and died minutes later.
  23. 1 1/4 give or take sounds about right. I just set the idle so it doesn't stall and doesn't engage the clutch and I think I had to open the L up a bit as well but the top end seems fine. Don't weaken the H off too much or you'll seize it.
  24. 73LPX64E is a 64 drive link chain.
  25. Le singe est dans l'arbre. Où est le singe ? French is easy n'est ce pas.
