Can you wear 3 pairs of class 1 trousers or a 2 and a 1 ? You'd be plenty warm

Is the chain running on tick over and does the saw stall when you put the brake on ?

I've never been trained but I use the brake when I put the saw down running anywhere in case a branch catches the trigger or something. It's there for a reason I think not just an inconvenience. I don't apply it with the chain running though. Do new saws really wear out this quick ?

It looks like you are missing a pipe to take the oil from the end of the pump to where it goes into the hole in the bar. I'm not familiar with Dolmars but is there a cover plate under the clutch side as well ?

If you are outside and only doing a bit then don't worry about it. There's a lot of horror stories but it's very rare anyone gets affected unless they are doing it all day long in an enclosed area, a few tacks in an outside environment you will not get any problems.

I think I'd rather have a Husqvarna like supernube and it would probably last longer as well.

Sod Jon, it's doing wonders for me

You'd lose some weight parting with a jobbie that big

And never burn Elderberry in the house or there will be a death in the family. I planted a Rowan 25 years ago and it grew too big so I cut it down. This was about 4 years ago and I never gave it a thought but just the other day I caught my thumb in the door so you never know.

A friend of mine is a retired architect technician and he still does bits now and then but he hates loft conversions. He will do them if the money is right but the amount of work to get them passed by planning is horrendous. They have to have their own staircase and fireproofing and ventilation is needed. You have to have the flooring joists to spec for flooring not the ones that are in which are only strong enough for ceiling and the ceiling below it will need bringing up to fire regulations spec. You can just bang a floor in and call it storage but you need building regs for Velux windows and they will want to inspect. As fagus says, if it's not done right it can shoot you in the foot later. Looking at the state of the loft the house looks too new to predate the building regs.

I forgot to put my smilies in

Any links to these problems anywhere ? Every one is individually forged and marked with the smith's stamp to show who forged it. I wish I could justify buying one.

It's tired. Or the coil is breaking down.

I solved my problem by moving to a 2% mix, it works much better.

To quote Douglas Adams "The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at and repair." According to the post about the timing being controlled by magnets this says the autotune does not alter it it just reads it and alters the mixture accordingly. I personally have no problem with auto and do not wish to alter it in any way whatsoever adw and am just curious how it works and am convinced that someone will want to fiddle with it, that's just human nature like porting standard saws. If someone can get an extra .5 hp by adding a resistor or something as opposed to dismantling and grinding ports and drilling silencers and they have the ability to do it then they will probably go ahead and do it, like fitting a Power Commander on a Hayabusa, do you really need more power ? Probably not but men are just boys with more money.

Just guessing at what a dealer would want for the carb with electronics on it as I can't find a price for them anywhere. Do you have a list ?

I've got a Mora like that

Does it definitely control the advance at different points in the rev range ? If you had a saw and the auto packed up and you could salvage it with a £20 ebay Zama or buy a £200 dealer only part to replace it which would you do ? Lots of people spend money hacking the software on their cars, are they all stupid ?

There was a thread about these a while back, copies are being produced in China but the real ones are still for sale from Mexico or somewhere South American.

My niece uses one of these to run her sewing machine at bike rallies. It's a little 2 stroke engine and plods along nicely for a few hours at a time on a tank of fuel.

Put the plug back in before you do the drop test

I put some Aspen in my old Dynamac, it's been stood for nearly 2 years with no fuel in. It started eventually but it runs rough although it will rev now I have twiddled a bit. I've got a carb kit coming as the pump diaphragm looks about shot and then it will be back in good condition.

Did you put the plug against the block and pull it over to check if it has a spark ? Don't touch the metal hold the plastic HT cap though

I welded the deck on my friend's rusty old mower as it was throwing clippings all over him and he used it last week. He's still cutting the lawn since the snow has gone just on a bit higher cut. Ours is still too wet, I'll leave it till March.

You might need stronger springs under the mixture screws if the caps were spacing them a bit. Try stretching them a bit.
