Let minnow when you've finished.

No, he's a Tory MP isn't he ?

I know it's a long way back but what do they say about presumption Mick, I'm not familiar with that one. Is it " it makes a pres out of u and mption ?"

Friend of mine put chain oil in the fuel tank on a 181 then poured it out and filled up with mix. That one really smoked when it got started.

Go karts Stubby ?

It looks pukkah, too well made for a Chinese copy. Look at the acresinternet pictures and you will see one exactly the same. The price is optimistic though.

I find they cut fine but on longer cuts they curl off to one side and can cause uneven bar wear if used for long periods.

We had 37°c yesterday and 28°c today but it felt cooler today because of a stiff breeze.

That's a keeper

Have you tried the reset procedure ?

Same reason they aren't still making Ford Cortinas I expect. Things move on even though we don't always appreciate what is happening. What do we need fuel injection for, carbs always worked for me and I know how to fix them when they go wrong? Not really, I think saws will get better with injection only thing I don't like is cat converters gobbing exhausts up.

Measure the gudgeon pin and little end bearing with a vernier when you take it apart. I don't know why Stihl did a 10mm and 12mm version of the same saw, mine is a 12mm with no cat and it cuts fine. Not much slows it down. I drilled a few holes in the baffle while I had it apart but it still has only one outlet.

You just gotta have faith, chainsaw evangelist kind of thing.
-
He now trades as tree_and_grass_spares still has plenty of stuff on for sale not all for chainsaws these days. I've had carbs, carb kits, pistons and other parts from various sellers and had no problems. Not had problems with OEM stuff either. Garden hire spares and the like are good for saw spares

Which bit does the chainsaw fit in ?
-
Or a training scheme..

MS460 gasket is fair bit bigger, I got one a while back and the whole saw is a piece larger than the 044 which is more like my 036 in size. I only use cheap chains because the wood we cut is rough stuff covered in soil sometimes and has been known to contain wire at times.
-
I gave £100 for mine and it cost a piston and base gasket and a carb kit to fix it. I treated it to a Wartech bar and chains from eBay as well, the bar is ok but the chains were dubious. It's got a Northern Arb Rotatech chain on now, works well and not dear.

I'll take your word for it

I was out walking a while ago and saw two blokes who made me look young (I'm 67) one holding and one up the ladder cutting the low branches off a Poplar with a B&Q special which looked like it really needed sharpening. The branches were angled up and he was cutting from the outside so the saw got trapped and he came down for the bow saw, went back up and started cutting above the saw and I swear the bow saw was quicker than the chainsaw. When the branch went the tension was off the saw and he nearly dropped the bow saw on his mate catching the chainsaw before it sailed out the tree. I wished I'd had the foresight to film it.
-
Mine was seized solid when I got it I had to beat the piston with a rod after I poured penetrating oil down the plug hole and stood it overnight. I was doubtful about the cylinder when I cleaned it up and just put a cheap eBay piston in it but it has been perfect since. It has no decompression and is a 12mm pin model with manual choke, runs well.
-
I cleaned up and reused the original cylinder on my early model 044 and can't remember seeing any breather from the cylinder to the carb. Do you mean the impulse ?
-
Set the screws to the recommendation and turn the idle screw in to speed it up. Get it warmed up then turn the idle down till the chain stops running. Where are you someone local might be able to help you.
-
A couple of my old saws are now run on Aspen and all I had to do to them was richen up the L screw a bit to get them to tick over. They have no problems running on it.

Just get one that cuts wood
