I thought prunes were dried plums

I was attacked by a goose in the dry dock at Hebden Bridge and was trying to kick it into the canal when my wife pointed out all the people in the cafe laughing. I turned round to them and shouted like a nutter, "he started it".

I've watched a few more now and he really does get some grief, my eyes were watering at some of his gaffes. When he set his shorts on fire I was almost rolling on the floor.
-
That's shocking He's now on my list to watch later.

The separate bulb is for the carb mounted primer used on small tools like strimmers and hedge cutters, take it back and swap it. If you are desperate to use the saw just join the two pipes and bypass it till you get one.
-
Clean the carb, check the metering arm setting or take it back. It sounds like it's running out of fuel under load
-
Check the level on the metering lever, it sounds like it needs raising.

The £14 one from ebay is most likely Zama identical to the one you are replacing. What saw is it and what is causing it to need cleaning so often?
-
I would always assume that the saw is a project unless I knew it's history. Buy it for the right price assuming that you will be spending some more on it.

The poor creature is the butt of many an insect joke

I was cutting a trunk down at the farm and hit a stone. It took two teeth out of a reasonably new 20" chain. Still using the chain though and it still cuts.

The choke rod doesn't stop the saw but helps to start it. When you lift the choke lever to the stop position the black wire connected to the lever from the coil touches the spring and contacts the short yellow wire connected to the saw body by a bolt grounding the coil and cutting the spark. On a saw I repaired the wire came off the choke lever and I had to put a small tie wrap round it to hold it in place otherwise it had the same problem as yours. I stopped it by pulling the trigger to rev it then pressing the choke down and gassing it up but after the fix it worked as normal.

Put some fuel in and fire it up and see what happens, then you can look for problems and solutions if any crop up.

Toyota's put out a recall out on Yaris now to update the chainsaw protection.
-
Clean one on eBay for £325 so go for at least that much for yours then put it towards something new of a similar size.

If he can't ride a pushbike to work he's not bothered about getting there no matter what the job is. Two miles is not even a long walk, tell him to make his own way in and knock the smoking off.

A stand of 7 large Sycamores in the local park have all died and been removed in the last 2 years, healthy one year then completely dead down one side for no apparent reason.

If you did go the Stihl bar route it might be simpler to open the slot in the bar than to find 8mm studs. There is play in the bar slots as they locate on a wider section at the base of the stud.

Plenty of UK sellers on eBay, click the UK only button under your search and filter through the Chinese ones you'll find L&S and ajgardenmachinery, tree_and_grass_spares, garden hire spares all based in UK.

You were just unlucky I guess. On the woodpile the other say I cut through a thick piece and rolled it over and saw green baler twine running all the way through it. If it had been wire I would have been swapping chains.
-
I read the first post again and see my misunderstanding of the situation. When BB says don't think that he installed the wire as a bodge I mistakenly understood it as someone else had done it I now see the error of my thinking.
-
It's not holding anything on all it's doing is pushing up the cup washer, how does that help ? I honestly can't see what it's there for.
-
What is the fence wire actually doing there ? I can see the clip under it

Levis are using hemp in their jeans material as well, if these things catch fire will you be so relaxed you'll not be bothered.
