  1. If there's an earth wire on the coil disconnect it then try pulling it over with the plug earthed against the cylinder. If it's bright daylight you might struggle to see the spark.
  2. Is it on the original bar and has it ever oiled ? Check if the oil hole lines up with the oiler.
  3. That's alright, no problems. For the price of a new ring it's as well to replace it anyway I think. A friend of mine once rebuilt a scooter and asked me to have a look at it as it was a bit "flat" as he described it. I was surprised it ran at all when he asked me what the bit was he had left over and it was the piston ring.
  4. If you can get the ring out without breaking it put it in the cylinder to check the gap so you can see if it is fit to re-use. I usually end up breaking them and using the broken bit to clean out the groove for the new ring to go in.
  5. They once delivered me a spraygun and it looked like it had been run over by the van it came in The seller sent me a new one by Parcelforce next day delivery so they may as well have done that in the first place and saved us both some trouble and themselves some money.
  6. You can't rotate the ring there's a pin in the groove to prevent it from rotating so it doesn't get into the ports. If it's a good fit in the cylinder you will not move it anywhere via the exhaust. Get it running and see if the lever presses down and stops it.
  7. Get a carb repair kit, that diaphragm is stretched to death and will not be doing anything to help your cause.
  8. We had a trailer cover made by Specialised Canvas Services in Staveley because they are handy for us and they did a sterling service, dropped the trailer off and they rang us when it was done.
  9. It's spittin'..... and windy.
  10. You knew where you were with points and a condenser though. Usually parked at the side of the road waiting for a tow truck.
  11. Ehow says Dolmar saws run between 12,500 and 13,800 depending on model but they don't say which model runs at what.
  12. Some Walbro carbs are Chinese made, we used one and have used kits from them and can't really see any difference from OEM.
  13. You can get glass tempered so it shatters into small pieces like car windscreen glass.
  14. That's on a par with my friend's dad who filled his MS181 fuel tank with chain oil from the combi can. He rinsed it out with neat fuel then filled it with mix but it smoked like a goodun for a couple of tanks
  15. Could they recycle chipboard to make new chipboard ? Lots of old furniture goes to the dump.
  16. Might it just have been damaged as a sapling and healed over ?
  17. Is it the Peeking Duck ? I've only seen one duck in a tree and it was a Mallard roosting in a Willow.
  18. I don't have a T540XP but I use a small filter funnel for topping my little saw up.
  19. It looks like a generic design electric splitter, there are lots about under different names. I have a cheap 4 ton one made in China and it does the job but it stutters a bit when you show it some Oak.
  20. Anybody on here clearing this mess up ? I read about it this morning and thought about nipping out with the 135 and Berlingo with the trailer on.
  21. Like EP90
  22. Unless you are buying for the purpose of possibly rebuilding a saw then new is really the only way to go. I'm still looking for the elusive 365 or something similar at a cheap price with an honest description but they all seem to be " stood for ages and possibly in need of a tune " instead of thrashed and knackered but might go again with some work.
  23. I think I'd have moved the little shed with the tractor Nice video and good humour.
  24. You have to put a link up, we don't want to miss this ;D
  25. All a contiguous file means is that it is not fragmented so it should not actually be slowing the computer down. You can delete files unless they are system files which the computer needs and will be protected from accidental deletion. Download Glary Utilities free edition and run the defrag and a clean up.
