I've just been a walk and spotted these two in a garden on the main road with mad growth in the middle of both trees, looks interesting. The one behind the lamp post has a split trunk which looks like it has grown back together.

The carb doesn't really hold any fuel, it doesn't have a float bowl or anything and the diaphragm pumps the fuel. If some fuel is getting through and then it stops there is something wrong with the carb. When it's on choke the suction from the piston will pull fuel through but when the venturi opens the suction goes if the revs drop.

What, using them as sandbags ?

This one looks suitably dangerous but a gravity feed and some covers would make it an efficient tool. Could be an old cement mixer converted. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0VKvYB4xss]PST woodcutter (demo) 2011 - YouTube[/ame]

Well as an AA member I am going out to con someone into paying me for cutting down their trees so I can take it home for firewood and I am safe in the knowledge that if I break down on the way the aforementioned AA will send a nice man out in his yellow van to help get me going again. I could watch that clip all day, I've never seen a ladder almost double back on itself like that you would be almost upside down at the top.

A friend of mine has a MS390 which would only run flat out no matter what you did with the screws. We stripped and cleaned the carb and it looked fine but fitted a carb kit anyway and it sorted it. Only thing it could have been was hardened rubbers or a microscopic hole in the old one which we couldn't see.

I made a Transit pick up milk float back for a local milk man from 50mm angle with a Zintec top. If it had had sides in it would have been a chip box.

It sounds like a Chinese Stihl copy sold by a German outlet, some called Baum agr are in circulation. Fuel caps and choke operation usually gives the copies away.

I wear one as a balaclava, half mask or a scarf. They are versatile and functional and that's a really good gesture from them.

Injector problem probably a bad spray pattern or one sticking open, get a diagnostic check it should give you a clue and the fault codes will need removing if they show up.

Timberwolf is a name used for some cheap rebadged Chinese saws on ebay, alright if you know what you are buying but don't expect top quality.
-
Bikes need a different set up because they have to operate over a wider rev range and different load parameters where a saw is expected to tick over or run flat out with no middle ground.

Gentle or genital ? Please clear this up quickly before I explode from curiosity (Waxing is the preferred method nowadays I believe)

We get that with 2 stroke mopeds and terrestrial freeview but not with the freesat via dish. Tell him to get some shielded cable.

Bl00dy Greenpeace have a a lot to answer for

Went to Sunderland today and it was 11° up there, lovely sunshine on the beach and as we got back down into Yorkshire and Derbyshire it was raining and 4°..

I read in a paper the other week that Stihl had been forced to review their sales policy as it contravened EU regulations. What Homer said was.... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YozC8yFrZKI]Internet: On computers now - YouTube[/ame]

When we worked on the gardens the worst thing was running over it with the Flymo and getting it splattered all round your ankles then getting back in the Land Rover to eat your sandwiches

Is it a turbo for the Beetle ?
-
Fuel only feeding by gravity, carb problem probably.

Stand it upside down and squirt some carb/brake cleaner into the dome and it will rub off with the end of a piece of wood dowel and wipe clean.

First one to mention the Nazis loses the argument (Godwin's Law) Sod, that would be me then

And your point is ? My opinion is as valid as anyone else's The bark looks too thin for oak.

I have a Kemppi 180 minarc mig and a tig/arc welder and the mig is most used although I can use both. I have a little portapak oxy acetylene kit as well which only gets used for warming stuck nuts these days although it was my weapon of choice before mig became more widely available. I have been welding for over forty years now, a couple of factory assembly jobs and repair work. With my mig now I use Co2 mostly as it's cheap and does the job but argon co2 mix is neater. Have a read on mig-welding.co.uk for an idea of what you want and what is available and some tutorials and there are good ones on weldingtipsandtricks.com where Jodie does his bit and is very informative.

It looks like conifer to me, the oak I have has lighter heartwood than sapwood and the bark is a lot rougher.
