  1. All that makes me wonder is "are they expecting a lot of tall people dying ?" I would expect the answer to be more because you can get 12' ceiling joists out of it with the building boom that's going on round here. Anyway if you divide 4.53m by 2 you get 2.265m not 7 feet Stop mixing measurements.
  2. I've got the hole dug in the garden, all she has to do is fill it in and keep claiming the pension 😳
  3. I'm using Opera and it's still not singing 🥴
  4. Mine's on 18" now but it runs 20" no problem but my 044 or MS460 has the 20" bar now
  5. I've just been studying and round here there is a service station selling BP ultimate unleaded which is allegedly ethanol free except in the south west of England. Found this as well Esso super unleaded petrol (Synergy Supreme+ Unleaded 97 and Synergy Supreme+ 99 ) is ethanol free (except in Devon, Cornwall, the Teesside area, Scotland and NW England).
  6. This chainsaw is useless it hardly cuts anything. Pass it here let me have a go. Bloody hell what's that noise it makes ? That's the engine 😲
  7. You need an axe for chopping up firewood 👍

    You'll probably get a MS460 for that on eBay, I'd buy a 660 for £450 even though I don't need one🤣 I have 460

    I just put a link up to it, why are you telling me this ? I'm not trying to sell it to you.😏
  10. Top cover and air filter should get you there, you'll have to remove the throttle and choke linkage though.

    About £1000 for the C-M with a 28" bar.

    I'm not selling it, just pointing it out. They are not exactly thick on the ground I notice.

    There's a very tidy looking MS660 on Gumtree for £725. Nowt to do with me but it might interest someone.
  14. MS391 suddenly lost power, unlike the one my mate had that never had any power 🤪
  15. A friend of mine has been using one of these for a couple of years and really likes it. Pulls well and stops as soon as the trigger is released.
  16. When my 135 was doing the same thing I eventually found it was the oil pump drive sticking on the crank. I reamed it out with some wet and dry on a dowel and greased it and it's been good ever since.
  17. Where do all the bullets land though ?
  18. That's one thing the blacksmith where I used to work told us never to do as they shrink even more when they dry out. Wooden wedge and a metal cross wedge was all he used and our hammer heads never came off. (We did break the shafts but that was not his fault)
  19. I heard you put the wallpaper up with drawing pins in case you move house 😜
  20. It'll recover in my experience. I tried to kill one off for years before I eventually gave up and cut it off at the base, it still put suckers up from the roots into the lawn 6 feet away.
  21. What, that you are right handed ?🤪
  22. Get some thinner oil for the winter, put a drop of petrol in with yours to thin it and see if it comes through then. Drop sopme food colouring in it and see if it colours the bar at all.
  23. As long as you sharpen up to the top and not down into the gullet you should be fine.
  24. Black smoke is usually excess fuel or probably something built up in the exhaust.
  25. MS 200 back handles used to be the wanted saw for carvers and always fetched good money, has it changed ?
