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.

I always assumed pendunculate was a misprint not spotted by the proof readers.

£150 to £200 is going to get you something that is frustrating and difficult to set up and use. Keep paying your welder or at least double your budget for something useful. Do you want to arc weld or mig. Arc is cheapest and a small inverter based set for about £300 will be cheap to run with only rods as consumables.

Does it four stroke like mad, some I've used are set like that and don't rev out like a saw. Try weakening the mixture off a bit but I'd take it back and ask them to take the plug out for you to see if it's running right.

Leaf blower cuts out after 10 mins of use.
peatff replied to normandylumberjack's topic in Chainsaws
Weird things ignition coils, nephew had a moped that would run for so long then only run on tickover so I obviously thought it was fuel related and cleaned the carb out three times with no improvement till I fitted the coil from another just as a last resort and found it cured it permanently. I also thought it might be air locking due to tank vent but it did it with the cap off as well. -
I read of the older metal brake lever models being hard to find spares for when I was looking at one.

I get tennis elbow and I find it goes off with movement but if I catch the spur of my elbow it is agony.
-
If you don't want to use two saws at once get a smaller bar and chain for your Makita. 135 and MS 181 are identical power output at 1.5kw according to their specifications.

If the spring rewinds as you have it now when the cover is removed it should work if you turn it round and rewind the string the right way round.
-
It looks just like my Chinese saw and yes you are trying to start it in reverse

Watching doggers

Rub them on a flat water stone and take the outside off. they get thinner as you do them but it's only a bit.
-
Wear some foam plugs inside the defenders, it cuts a lot more noise out I used to do it in the factory on noisy machines.

It's snowing here, starting to settle on the grass. Get some wood in for the fire before it all gets covered up.
