  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. Have them tattooed on the back of your hand ? Get some good glasses to read them though it will be very small writing
  4. Think yourself lucky you're not Chinese
  5. Whatever you do don't put the camera down love
  6. I usually pick them up as projects when I see cheap ones on local Gumtree.
  7. 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
  8. Give it a dose of Glyphosate off the roof and leave it a couple of months. What's the flat roof like above it ?
  9. Remember the basic rule, green side up and you can't go far wrong
  10. Nowt to do with midges I thought I wouldn't mind the buttons, the jeans only cost £3 and looked unworn. Zip cost sod all I did a pair for a mate as well for about another £3 with proper brass zips. The buttons were just annoying and took forever to fasten.
  11. Man I'm environmentally sound and I didn't even know it. Half of what I wear came from Oxfam and the rest is so old I can't remember where it came from. I have my sewing machine to help with my repairs and alterations. I converted my charity shop 501s from button to zip the other day.
  12. I just had an email from World of Power saying Stihl have lifted online delivery restrictions on gear but not on chainsaws. Are they starting to realise something.
  13. It's you isn't it, come on own up
  14. Let minnow when you've finished.
  15. No, he's a Tory MP isn't he ?
  16. 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 ?"
  17. 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.
  18. Go karts Stubby ?
  19. 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.

    Sharpening

    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.
  21. We had 37°c yesterday and 28°c today but it felt cooler today because of a stiff breeze.
  22. That's a keeper
  23. Have you tried the reset procedure ?
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
