  1. Ask in the firewood section, this is about chainsaws 😁
  2. £8 a bag in Tesco the other day worked out at about 80p per piece of wood. They don't have a sell by date on them either so they'll not be getting any cheaper.
  3. Definitely, it wouldn't hurt to freshen up a bit.😉 Womn lovew the smell of Jizer.
  4. This sounds pretty obvious, have you had the valve apart to see what's happening inside ? It's 25 years old and might need a little TLC, some Jizer and a blow down wouldn't hurt it.
  5. There was a clean looking one on Gumtree recently went for £750. You can buy a new MS881 for £1500 I would not pay £1000+ for something 10 years old.
  6. I bought a MS460 with a stripped plug hole that someone had completely mangled. I took the cylinder off and it was beyond repair but there was a new Stihl P&C on ebay so I fitted that. The carb had been messed with and I had to take the limiters off to turn the H&L screws and when I looked at the original piston the lands had broken up between the rings.
  7. I used to buy Rotatech chains from Northern Arb supplies but now they have changed the name to rotatechproducts.com so it looks the other way round to me.
  8. Skogsforum did a comparison video.
  9. Macpherson just type his name in he'll get to see it.
  10. Property insurance doesn't work like car insurance, you can only claim for damage to your own property so the three injured parties will all need to make their own arrangements. Let them contact their insurance companies before you start to do anything or you might end up as part of one of their claims if anything goes wrong.
  11. It looks like Fisher Price had a hand in it somewhere 😁
  12. Yes but once you've burnt the logs and oil they've gone but you would still have a splitter to make more logs if you can get free timber even better, that's my theory. As for the vodka if Art is anal surely his vodka is going to be good 👍
  13. You need an axe for chopping, saws are for cutting😁 Pleasant is not far out, small Husqvarna like the 120 for around £150 would get you going.
  14. It will be lower than the level of the Nikasil though.
  15. It's still below the port, you'll not lose any compression so it's worth a try. Check it again with some acid or oven cleaner just to make sure it's not higher than the plating and clean the port edges up as Spud said. Get a decent piston and rings and crack on.
  16. The obvious solution is don't put too much wood on it🤔
  17. Stiga was a Swedish firm, probably still is but apparently the saws are made in Italy so most likely nothing to do with Dolmar or Makita.
  18. My 135 must be 8 years old now and still my favourite little saw. Run on Aspen from new and never had any running faults apart from oil pump drive seized onto crank and ran the chain all the time but that was sorted with emery and a bit of lube. Enjoy the saw now it's running👍
  19. Stick it in a box and send it to me I can use the spares😉
  20. Oleo Mac/Efco made Dynamac saws as well, I bought one from Machine Mart many years ago before Stihl and Husqvarna started making home user saws. Dynamac DY41 still running but it was superseded by my 135 which is lighter.
  21. Which is what I said in my post😉
  22. That's the fuel to oil ratio, a weak mixture in usual terms is the carb adjustment air to fuel ratio running high revs with the H screw turned in.
  23. It looks bad but it's probably all just aluminium transfer and it's below the port. My 044 was worse than that and cleaned up nicely and still works well. He probably doesn't salvage pots like us because he can pass the cost on to the customer and save himself a lot of time.
