Schadenfreude Jon ! I'm not a particularly big fan of theirs but they are one of the largest employers in our neck of the woods, a lot of people would be a lot worse off if they shut.

$25 (about £20) item is not going to attract a lot of import tax, probably more in postage. Waiting for delivery is biggest problem from overseas sellers.

Obsessive compulsive disorder, CDO ? Please explain your logic

Why do you need the Husqvarna equivalent. I just googled Jonsered 2055 carburettor and it comes up with Walbro HDA119A. Can't see any in UK ebay but they are on Randy's for not a lot of money.

It's the first thing I do when I go in the shed, glasses on and gloves for the dirty, hot or sharp jobs

What bugs me is using "of" when you should use "have" like "I would of done it another way" but I can live with it, it's not going to keep me awake worrying about it.

I just fitted some new clutch springs in Stihl 036, cleaned behind the clutch and found the oil pump buried in black oily gunge. Blew it out with the air line and some carb cleaner and got covered in it. Greased and put back together, might treat it to a new chain now.

That's fair and to be honest I've never actually tried one on a plated bore just because I've not needed to. I know a friend's lad who used one on his Bultaco cylinder and needed a rebore after he'd done it as he was a bit heavy handed but that was not a plated bore and it did go all the way through. I use a medium one on steel bores as it's what I have and I have made a DIY flapwheel with a piece of wet and dry and a split dowel in a slow drill.

Not heard the joke, doesn't the oil go in the front tank and the petrol in the back one ? Kidding
-
I just don't like stones on a plated finish, 240 wet and dry with oil by hand after removing the deposits just to rough it a bit. I don't do a lot so it's not too time consuming.

You can't get in Aldi round here for middle class wannabes. Their advertising has been too successful, we've gone to Lidl now at least we can get in the car park and Hobgoblibn is cheaper We have a Tesco in walking distance and only use it for exotic stuff like Pesto and Semolina flour We bake our own bread and they give you free yeast if you ask on the bakery counter.

When I was a nipper my dad grafted eating apple branches from the place he worked onto a Bramley tree on our allotment and it fruited a few times before the allotment closed.

I think they are taking the easy way out or trying for more money. I've not seen any corrosion from leaving carbs with petrol in only staining and diaphragm damage. Get it looked at independently or do it yourself. If a carb is a quarter of the cost of a new saw they certainly know how to charge. From what I can find Garden hire spares does a Tillotson replacement for £27 or you can get a Zama C1Q-S57 for £12.57

Mein Onkel vas an unter offizier in the panzer regiment or an offizier in the unterpanzer regiment, not sure which as he told a few voppers und he said the Tiger vos the equivalent of a 3von20xp and vos too hot and heavy for most jobs and should have been available as a convertible.

My wife bakes our bread and I buy a sliced loaf a week just for the toaster. We bake 2 dozen bread cobs (rolls, for the non Derbyshire) and we just took a sourdough loaf from her own starter culture out of the oven. We slice and freeze our bread and just take out what you need when we need it as there's only us two.

I can't see a little end bearing in there and you will need a base gasket and possibly an exhaust gasket. Ask the supplier what is in the kit and order the rest while you are at it. It's not good if you are stood for parts and they are not expensive.

Bus hits Plane would have been a much better headline A stationary lamp post once jumped out in front of my missus, you can't trust street trees or furnishings.

The listing says 281XP but the pictures show a 181SE. Are they similar saws ? I heard the spares were a bit scarcer for the older metal brake saws.
-
If the piston is still moving it's not too bad and you might get away with just a piston and rings if the cylinder will clean up. Take it to bits and have a look, you have nothing to lose. Watch a few youtube videos they will give you an idea what you are looking at doing.

I bought an 036 last week and I thought it has a leaky tank. The tank has black screw caps and the ones I saw had the new type cap. It turned out to be the breather leaking so panic over it just needed reseating and pushing down firmly. If I fit the screw cap by hand I still need the screwdriver to get it back off.

Try converting some distances, if you convert the miles to millimetres you will still need about 58 miles from sun to earth.

I laughed out loud at the description, " As shown in the photographs this vehicle has exceptionally straight bodywork ". Yes, not a curve in sight anywhere, you could build one out of Lego bricks

There's a bag of cement and a stack of bricks in my yard that's not worth a penny more than when I put them there, probably a damn sight less as the cement has probably set. Property is alright as long as you have a lot of it and good tenants in it. The house next door but one is rented and the tenant before last left it needing £4000 in repairs. I wouldn't want the hassle of chasing someone with nothing to get some of it back. It's in the hands of a letting agent and they don't care who they put in.
