  1. Where from.? That's cheaper than a 135
  2. About £100 I bet. It will be going to Dyson probably.
  3. I think it's tosh as well if it's any consolation
  4. I read somewhere it's best to keep 6 saws in case 5 break down, sounds reasonable to me.
  5. So you can look at the battery as a very expensive fuel can that takes a long time to fill with fuel which is cheap but not available everywhere. Depending on the charger it can take between 45 minutes and 3 hours to charge to 100% so you need the AL300 charger at £60 as well so for 2 batteries and a charger you are in for about £300 plus the saw which is "equivalent to a 30cc saw" it's not sounding very tempting yet.
  6. How does this saw try to find lost power does it have artificial intelligence ? I've upped the oil in saws to first run them after repair and all I find is they smoke and blow some oil out of the exhaust and sometimes oil the plug up.
  7. So you could be looking at chainsaws with pedal assist Brilliant idea. When battery prices come down and technology gets good enough they will be a better proposition, storage needs to go up and charging times need to come down before they can replace just slopping another pint of fuel in and away you go again. I know the price of fuel is high compared to electricity to charge a battery but you don't need to buy £120 of fuel at one go and it's there straight away not in 30 or 40 minutes or whatever time an AP200 takes to charge.
  8. I think he has Parkinsons not dementia.
  9. He believed in it enough to say he was leaving the country if Labour got in He's a Scot same as Rod Stewart really though, he lives in Florida now doesn't he ?
  10. You'd not need much ammo
  11. It's how most people spell it It sounds like you don't rate 362s then spud.

    I read the title and immediately thought of Vic and Bob. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNvR_ICKc5c
  13. I reported this because its got a naughty word and I don't think Billy Connoly is funny. He's a Scottish tory.
  14. Years ago the water board was putting a new main in down our street and at 6.00 pm when our heating was supposed to come on nothing happened. I went outside and looked down the hole and there was our gas pipe, the end doubled back with a Jubilee clip holding it. The digging crew had knocked off at 3.00 pm and gone and left it and it absolutely stunk of gas. I phoned the gas and they were there in 20 minutes with no smoking signs and had to dig half way across the road to where it had also pulled out of the main. I complained to the water board about the shoddy treatment and they brought the bloke who did it and he apologised but then they did it twice more on the way down the street.

    Yeah they've never been any good since they put coils and spark plugs in
  16. Clean the faces up and get it brazed back on if the sprocket is still good.
  17. I was grass cutting on the schools at about that time and we used to have JLO mowers. The recommended oil was 30 grade at 25:1 I think. The engines were brilliant starting and running loads better than the Flymo that replaced them.
  18. I had MS180 (similar carb setup) that had similar problems and a carb kit plus raise the metering arm cured it. It was checked for air leaks etc and It seemed alright till you touched it against a log then it just died but after the fix it worked like new. Someone on here, billpierce probably, said you can get proper adjustable carb for it which would be a big improvement I think.

    Under the diaphragm it operates a valve. Careful if you undo the screw holding it's spindle down as there is a lively spring underneath it. Make sure you get the diaphragm back the right way up.
  20. I've found on a few saws that you need to rich up the L screw when swapping to Aspen to get them to tick over reliably.
  21. Result !
  22. Can I have the 440 plate to update my 044? ?
  23. Good result, easy fix. Nice to hear it.
  24. I sometimes wonder what we did before they made it a law, did people just float off whenever they fancied?
  25. Gravity mate, it's never left anyone up there yet.
