  1. I use the brake when I am not revving the saw and when I carry it short distances rather than stop the motor which I do when I take a break to have a ???
  2. I call it the chain brake as it stops the chain from going round but everyone on here calls it the chain break but the only thing I can find about the chain breaking is the catcher.
  3. When they hear chainsaws or stone saws it's like a mating call, it attracts scallies from miles around. I never put anything down unless it's locked away or fastened to something heavy. The bloke next door borrowed my drill the other day, his had gone out of the shed along with a jig saw and angle grinder and we know it was his girlfriend's druggy son but nothing will be done about it. The lad still comes round as brazen as anything.
  4. I took a few batteries to the scrapyard a few weeks ago and they fetch good money for scrap. It's always better to report the crime so it has to go on the police books and when the numbers are tallied up everyone can see how badly or well they are performing.
  5. A friend of mine ran one for about 9 months a long time ago. He gave it up as it was hard work and it cost a lot in fuel, gas, maintenance,was hot and clausterophobic and he always stunk of chips. He was parked up one night and got pulled by the police on the way home, someone had nicked the rear lights off the van. He lost a lot of money on the eventual resale of the van as well.
  6. Lay it on it's flattest side and just roughly flatten 3 sides and it would make a nice rustic beam. Cut it with the saw and finish it off with a draw knife or adze would be a good effect.
  7. This place has them.
  8. I saw a video where the tree was cut off at the bottom then rollers stripped the branches off before the machine placed it into the pile. It was all softwood farming though.
  9. Cut a branch off a Birch tree and watch it run like a tap in early Spring when the buds are forming.
  10. If you can put the rings on the piston and into the barrel and put one circlip in then get it onto the rod and fit the gudgeon pin and second circlip it makes the job easier.
  11. What's adorn ? The plug looks good.
  12. Genius, he's leaving all the boring stuff to someone else
  13. Weird place the Berwyn Mountains I reckon it's an inter dimensional rift or summat, not getting too technical.
  14. Use google chrome and it will (mostly) translate it for you
  15. FC is the same rating as FD but with less detergent additives, I'd use it without any hesitation.
  16. I have a Whitworth spanner which fits pushbike wheel nuts, 9/16" AF and 14mm. It gets used quite a bit to hold "the other end"
  17. Yakky da boyo
  18. Most of the kill switches and anything else to stop the engine work by earthing the wire from the coil. If you connect the two wires to the sensor together does it still run ?
  19. No need to insult his family, yo grammar is so fat that you have to grease the door frame and tice her out with biscuits
  20. The answer is already there in your post. It sounds like the sensor may need to be replaced as it's failed in the safe position and you can run the engine with it disconnected so just disconnect it if you don't think you need the sensor.
  21. When we said chainsaw carving that's not what we meant Cool though.

    You need to be serious to buy Stahlwille for yourself at full price though. I bought a Stahlwille 1/4" ratchet for £9 should have been £38

    I bought a Bahco set with 1/4" and 1/2" drive plus combination and swivel spanners (called S87+7) on ebay for £50 + p&p, best bargain ever as they are at least £120. I got them a couple of years ago and they are great tools, proper 6 point sockets that really grip. I also have a Kamasa set that has lasted well for a cheap set but they are my scrapyard and beater spanners.
  24. I use pot washing brushes 3 for £1 with a built in scraper and old toothbrushes along with brake/carb cleaner and airline.
  25. My little bit would be lost against all that.
