It does the job and we haven't found much that it won't tackle, split some really gnarly unions and is very economical on fuel.

Fiskars X27 would be the equivalent and they are good axes just not wood handle.
-
Have you taken the silencer off to look for yourself ? If it's scored badly enough to stop the ring moving it might go again with a piston and clean up the cylinder which is not going to be too expensive.

18T Black tools petrol splitter here, no need to go overboard 😁
-
It's as much chainsaw related as the 30" hedgecutter thread and that got plenty of replies 😋 -
I always wear my dungaree type trousers and mesh visor helmet even when it's hot but I've not splashed out on special gloves or boots, just normal toecaps and PU gloves. I am only a weekend warrior log womble though.

Never had any luck with Poplar even when well seasoned and if you leave it too long it starts to disintegrate on the woodpile. It doesn't flame and it smoulders without giving much heat on our fire and we don't have problems burning anything else. Tell a lie, Goat Willow doesn't go well either

If you're not doing big stuff get something like a 435

Did you set the metering up when you replaced the diaphragm ?

Vice grip slide hammer.

We found that as well, ended up taking down to ground level

Take your oil pump drive out as well and check the pump as it looks like it all got hot and is probably melted together. That would explain the stalling and running chain on tick over.

Spotted this on Preloved handy for anyone round Manchester MS500i promotional offer £330. Get in quick I can't see them lasting (or existing) at that price 🙄

Ours does the smoky thing sometimes and all I do is open a window or the back door for a couple of minutes and the through flow takes the smoke back up the chimney. It only happens in cold damp weather.

This explains the difference. Interesting topic.

I'd have cut most of what he did there with a lopper.

Have you had your first fire yet?

Been lighting ours for about a week now just in the evenings for a few hours while the telly is on. -
Glue the rope seal and use some adhesive tape to hold it in place then shut the door on it and leave it for the rest of the day.

Lucky you 😋 A friend of mine had a MS260 someone had "muffler modded", all it did was make more noise🤪
-
Get back in the house man, the neighbour's are getting restless. 🤣

The log bags in the foyer at our local Home Bargains seem to have about 9 pieces each in them and are priced at £5.65 which makes the logs about 63p each, better value than the ones at Hardwick Hall which worked out at about 70p each.

Why run it lean ? I turn mine out till it 4 strokes but cleans up under load when cutting.
-
135 don't have limiters, the one I have anyway and I had it from new. All they have is the splined adjuster screws. My friend has one as well and his has no limiters either. Warm the engine up then turn the L screw right in then out 1 1/4 turns, speed the tickover up to keep it running then adjust the L screw out till it starts to stall and run it back in a touch. I've had mine about 9 years now and it's been no trouble. Burping at high revs sounds like too much fuel 4 stroking it.

I am currently outside emptying the log store with a bottle of washing up liquid to hand. It's all good so far but I'm feeling a bit faint 🥱
