I read about a Solo 100cc twin cylinder saw as well. Here's something to read about twins on chainsaw collectors.

I only mix in a litre bottle with the oil on top but I'm very careful about spilling fuel (tight git ) and use a filter funnel to decant it into the saw in case any bits get in it. I'm not too fussy about getting the ratio absolutely spot on as long as the oil colours the fuel.

If you go to their website mowermarket are cheaper than their ebay prices and you can pay by credit card over the phone so any purchases are insured.

I put a 1/8" drill through my left pinky and out the other side. Now we have petrol and battery powered tools you can mutilate yourself in totally new locations well away from electrical sockets. More people are injured with hammers than chainsaws is a statistic I once read and I have a black and blue thumb to testify to that but I would think you stand more chance of healing from a bruise than growing a limb back. My little Chinese top handle was bought to do a job and will get used again some time and it's not £500 sat doing nothing it was less than £100, just the cost of a good night out for some or a cheap night out for others.

Put a magnet on it, it looks like steel to me. It would weld or plate and rivet whether it's aluminium or steel and the weld will be stronger than the original metal.

That's what gloves are for Only time I've injured myself with an angle grinder was using a wire cup brush and it put a pin prick in my cheek. I use fibre discs and backing pad a lot for finishing on metal, those chainsaw discs look like a good idea in theory but will probably kick back like a mule.

Which size chip box though ?
-
I think Tommy is looking at the cheap Chinese saws not second hand. I've read of people buying them for yard cutting and having no problems and others who have had bits breaking off and parts failing with no support or repairs back up. There are a few now like Mitox which are being built to a better standard with a spares network to support them.
-
I bet they offered to do it for the free wood They'll pack up when the back garden is full.
-
Somebody on here lost one in a pile of chip and found it again after a weekend so it can be done quite easily.

Why don't they write the name on bars upside down on one side so when I turn my bar it still reads the right way up on the right side ? I know it doesn't matter but it bugs me a bit. Husqvarna bars are powder coated not painted aren't they ? Do you grease the bar nose sprocket and they still seize Dave ?
-
Scrunched up newspaper and a few sticks, but if you gave me a bag of Doritos I'd be more inclined to burn than eat them it would be like burning cardboard which is what the taste reminds me of.
-
Finished at £1325 with a last minute snipe by the look of it.
-
Using a saw held above shoulder height is frowned upon isn't it ?
-
Did you have a barbecue after ? Here's my offering, there's a Dynamac DY41 in the shed as well but I'll have to dig that out later. 135 and Chinese ebay 25cc top handle
-
Is the exhaust coked up ?
-
What chain oil are you using, raspberry ? I think it's over oiling anyway
-
When I'm down in the dumps I like to treat myself to some clothes or something. I wondered where you got them from ?

The sun then parted the clouds asunder Everyone looked up in wonder And the brollies went up and all got under To cover their heads against the thunder. "Me"

There are both catalytic converter and DPF (diesel particulate filter) fitted to diesels. DPF have a special cycle to run through to stop them getting too blocked, some use special fluid like AD Blue to clear them and cost an absolute fortune to replace and put the vehicle into limp home mode if not working properly you have to run the engine hard for a set length of time every month or so to stop them gobbing up.

Anyone have any spare lumps of Oak kicking around?
peatff replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
Bother, I cut mine too short. It would look more arty with some 5" nails though wouldn't it ? Wife just looked at it and commented it's a chopping block -
I think we just keep seeing it from a different angle

5 gallon you probably need waders as well The bike shop gets it from a place called A-Chem in Alfreton, it's spot on for stainless exhausts and alloy wheels and casings. I've used it on old carbs as well and they fizz when you drop them in. Don't leave it long and have some clean water or some with bicarb diluted to dip them in after to get the acid rinsed off.

I get similar to that but it is blood vessels and makes the finger look bruised.
