  1. Ronnie Sunshine has new ones at £800 Jon, get your hand in your pocket.
  2. So not really Indian then he was a Caribbean gentleman
  3. There are four pictures, one of it standing and the rest of the mess she wants someone to pay to clear up. You might do it as a favour if you needed the wood but £800 and a load of grief is a bit rich.
  4. And we're back. A friend of mine was given a Wolf (Aldi special I think) in bits and he asked me to have a look at it. Man I can see why these things are cheap. It would have been back together but there seems to be a few screws missing and I had to fabricate (bodge) a new end for the throttle cable. It fires but the mixture screws are either D or double D (wishful thinking ) so I can't tweak the screws to keep it running for more than a few seconds.
  5. It's snowing a blizzard here, not settling yet though.
  6. We had a pedigree fox terrier and she was red hot. She loved kids but was very defensive of family. She caught rabbits, mice, rats, pigeons and the odd starling or two when she caught them unaware.
  7. He wishes to remain euonymous
  8. It might do but if you have a vacuum in your tank the fuel will stop flowing and the saw will cut out.
  9. I can't remember them ever asking to photograph our bathroom.
  10. That carb looks impressive, like half a sidedraught Weber.
  11. You can download it as an epub file and read on a tablet with the nook or similar app.
  12. Good with a saw is she ?
  13. I hope Sheldon doesn't take this too badly, he's his hero.
  14. And us older members who can't be bothered to google it

    Training

    Or put it in the Training and Education section instead of Chainsaw
  16. Redex does work to free up stuck rings and release carbon but it does nothing for fuel preservation. I used to like it when you put a shot into the car via the plug hole and it filled the street with white smoke for 5 minutes. My friend round at the bike shop got one in that had been stood for ages and wouldn't start so he drained the float bowl. It was green and smelt like gloss paint.

    Years ago MM used to sell Dynamac saws, that's where I got mine. They were grey and yellow and made by Efco in Italy I believe. They probably sold all makes of home owner saws at some point and they do sell McCulloch now.
  18. It's not really an issue. He's unsure of what he needs so he has asked for help to decide as people do and hopefully now has more idea of what is needed.
  19. No it's arabit
  20. 14" bar and chain looks unused on gumtree for £35, 3/8" .050. He's got some old ones on as well for £10.
  21. There's one on ebay that looks like it's been taken off a brand new saw to fit the upgrade kit and it's nearly as much as a dealer part but free delivery and no vat I suppose so if you're in no hurry it would be a decent proposal unless someone is scrapping a saw and selling bits of cheaper.
  22. I heard it had been following him round all day When I was fettling I used to get a lot of tetanus injections. You'd go in with a cut finger and come out with a limp. Do they still give you the jab in the same place ? Yes it's still A&E
  23. I can't help you but are you offering or requiring ?
  24. This thread just keeps on giving. If you're filling a five foot scabbard you'd definitely need something to lift the end, you wouldn't want to spike it with a pickaroon unless you are very accurate.
  25. Use Aspen 4 and add your own 2 stroke oil
