I notice that the professional saws have a black handle insert round the trigger interlock.as opposed to a white or all black rear handle. -
It looks like it's a fireplace insert not an actual stove. Belper is only about 8 miles from where we live but I never heard of Firecast.

I was there that day, can you see me waving ?

Had a well used McCulloch Dakota 442 on the bench, non-runner. Dismantled and cleaned carb and fitted a carb kit, bit of a fiddle as they have a cable instead of linkage but it went back together and fired up third pull. It runs nice enough for a dog but I put fuel in it and left it on the bench, went back next morning to a stink of fuel and a half empty saw. The tank breather is in the middle of the fuel cap (stupid idea) and it's failed so a new cap is on way from eBay. Owner is on holiday for another week so it should be ready for when he gets back.

I refer the honoured gentleman to this thread

Meanwhile, in the fourth dimension the tree still stands.

Can't start my MS460 from cold without the decomp button.

Just had a look in the shed and there's an 020AVP minus bar and clutch cover in there, sparks but doesn't run and not worth messing with.

Worm wheel sounds like a toy for a pet worm😁

That plastic plug thing is your worm drive for the oil pump, looks well mangled.

I sharpen as soon as they start to blunt and stop making chips, nothing worse than struggling along trying to force the cut.

It seasons quicker if you split it down while it's still green as well. 🥲

Looks like an Aliexpress seller so most likely a Chinese replacement coil.

I've never seen it but a friend of mine claimed it happened to his old MZ bike a few times and he did have a witness to confirm it.

No number sorry I bought it on eBay a few years ago, I thought they were all like that.
-
The tool I have for my 135 Mk1 tapers so it might fit both.

🤯 £6 will get you a full English most places I eat, is Gordon Ramsay cooking for you ? Birch is popular with spoon carvers, especially while it's still green and it's good for kindling when it's seasoned. I got a load on freecycle last year, cup of tea while we loaded it as well 👍

That's the one, my apologies to Jamie and keep up the good work MattyF 👍 Testing to destruction neds to be done you should get saws donated from the manufacturer.

I bet Spud knows someone who could kill it. Where's Jamie ?
-
038 was available in standard, super and magnum version, why ever you'd want one covered in chocolate and nuts is beyond me though 🤥
-
It will run cooler with the cat removed, they get red hot in operation.

Was Fanny Barber there as well ?

How long have we urban dwellers got?

Nowt so queer as folk is the saying I use. My gran wouldn't entertain teabags as they were made with sweeping ups from when proper tea was made. -

We've always used loose tea, Co-op 99 brewed in a pot teapot but just before Christmas couldn't get any so had to use tea bags or go without. Back on loose tea as soon as possible though. -
I tried a cheap piston in my Stihl 044 and it's been fine since, never missed a beat. A couple of broken fins won't make much difference, I'd try cleaning it up first.
