  1. I don't understand this bit, lower edge of what ? Sorry if I'm being obtuse.

    044 Gaskets

    It will be paper then, scrape it off and don't worry about it it's not like you're taking a shed roof down. Blue and brown were banned in 1985 and the rest in 1999.

    044 Gaskets

    Base gasket for mine was a metal one. Will yours be a 12mm little end or a 10mm ? Mine is a 12mm
  4. A friend of mine had a unit where he kept his plant and the rear door opened onto fields and was only composite ply to the outside. All the units were getting broken into from this side so inside the frame we made a 4" angle frame and a 6mm plate door with a couple of locks inside. Eventually the outside door was smashed but the inside steel plate was hardly marked.
  5. Stick it on ebay, it's a collector's piece.👍
  6. B@5tards, I've been robbed. Is car tax real ?
  7. Just a thought, Any chance of training beaver to do this ? Finally a reason for reintroducing them.
  8. Show us some pictures at least of the piston and possibly the inside of the cylinder to have some idea of the state of play. How did it get to this stage as it sounds like it had some serious misuse if it lost compression and the bearings are shot unless it left the factory with problems.
  9. 😝Any saw that does that to itself deserves everything it gets. That needs a deflector to blow the heat forwards away from the plastic.
  10. I don't understand this symptom
  11. Well she says whatever he tells you, take two inches off🙄
  12. I've found I have to open the L screw up 1/4 to 1/2 a turn making them richer and had to speed up the idle to compensate. That is on two Stihl saws and a Husqvarna.
  13. If the oil hole lines up you should be ok, pitch and drive link count is the same and they are 1.6 gauge but the 121 is listed for MS391 to use rapid micro for farm and firewood cutting and the 221 rapid super for forestry on saws like the MS441.
  14. That was Ursula Andress 🤔 in her part as Honey Ryder diving for conch shells. She was later catching crabs off Bond.
  15. I find the wide neck washing detergent bottles a good standby, save an empty then tip it in the compost when you've used it (only for wee though)
  16. That looks nasty, hope they come up with something to put it back together for you.
  17. It's aluminium so it's not going to rust or react with anything, probably safer than any paint you might put on it.
  18. some people collect old saws or use them for parts. McCullochs fetch good money in America.
  19. As noted, it's definitely had a life 😳
  20. It's a brake, break is what it would have done if it fitted. I had some plastics from Farmertec which were o.k. but no moving parts so can't comment on the rest.
  21. It looks like a simple circuit, a continuity check at the switch would be the first thing to see if it is shorted somewhere.
  22. Occam's razor
  23. When I was in factory work a crew was in fitting a new machine. One day their foreman got a phone call and was quite done about it moaning to his lads and they all seemed despondent. I asked why and he said the gaffer had just informed him the next job was in New Zealand. I said it must be nice to get sent to places like that and he replied that it is the most boring place on Earth once you have seen the sights.
  24. What gauge and pitch chain is he using ?
