ID of small tree from terrible photo.
peatff replied to Mark J's topic in Tree Identification pictures
We didn't kill him ! It is considered bad luck to burn elderberry wood indoors. Dropped leaves seem to kill off anything which is not well established under the tree and they manage to grow in the most awkward places like the join at the bottom of a wall where they are hard to remove. They also cause purple stains on the washing when starlings have been eating the berries. -
Mine's only a 135 but a couple of pumps on the primer bulb usually sorts it, same after it has been refuelled. As above, it's all guesswork if the model is not known.
-
That will do for a deposit. Not refundable though.
-
If they are fetching good money it can go.

I can't fault my 135 after the initial problem of the oil pump drive sticking on the crank and causing it to run the chain constantly. I cured it years ago just by rubbing the inside of the drive with wet and dry and greasing it liberally. They are now onto the 135 mk2 and at £168 they are a bargain. You could go even cheaper and get him a 120 for £125

I'd look at something with easy start next time I buy, like the Echo CS-352ES.

Mine is a 12mm little end bearing with no decomp, don't know the year of manufacture. I've seen quite a few and a lot in pictures with decomp valves but it's no problem starting it and it's a good saw.
-
I have an 044, does yours have a decompression valve fitted ?
-
It's the maximum recommended for the saw so you should be fine. You will probably not notice any difference in daily use.

I used snipe nose pliers wedged in the pawl while my mate held the side cover and I turned it with a screwdriver through the pliers handle as a lever. He had somehow managed to remove the cover with the brake engaged, something he will not do again in a hurry. There are Youtubes on the subject, this one shows the modified scrench at about 2.50.

Porn It still doesn't last any longer though. I think he's gone back under the bridge now anyway, can't believe it's gone on for 3 pages

I would copy and paste the replies from the same thread in general chat but I can't be arsed.
-
Are they getting their parts from huztl.net and building them cheap, please let us know. I bought some plastics from huztl and they were 1/5 the price of Stihl so it would make perfect sense.
-
Why do they always put the gate in the muddy corner of the field ?
-
Used for trailer decking, there used to be loads of it for repairs when I worked shunting and sheeting trailers.
-
Flat out in big wood is Husqvarna reset, Stihl varies. Look in the manual but it goes something like cold start and leave ticking over for 30 seconds then rev it flat out till it picks up then tick over again. Takes about 90 seconds.

Shouldn't that be college? Sorry just carrying on with a theme. We'll soon get over it, a pat on the head and a there, they're, their and it will all be alright

Have them tattooed on the back of your hand ? Get some good glasses to read them though it will be very small writing

Think yourself lucky you're not Chinese

Whatever you do don't put the camera down love

I usually pick them up as projects when I see cheap ones on local Gumtree.

38.3°c on the back yard yesterday, nice and cool in the house though. Coolest temperature overnight on the greenhouse thermometer was 19.2°c
-
Give it a dose of Glyphosate off the roof and leave it a couple of months. What's the flat roof like above it ?

Remember the basic rule, green side up and you can't go far wrong
