  1. That's a rear handle not a top handle Try resetting the carb to manufacturer standard, screw the H & L screws in then something like one and a quarter turns out on each. It could be running weak on the L circuit.
  2. Once you've used it to shoot people it's no longer a legal weapon and is classed as a firearms offence. Unless they are inside your house this is going to get you into trouble.
  3. A couple of years ago we were out at the seaside and a woman with a kid in a pushchair (covered in ice cream) were being pestered by wasps. She stopped and got out some baby wipes to clean the kid up and had to do a runner into a nearby shop as the scent of the wipes attracted a whole swarm of wasps, the air was thick with them. How neither of them got stung I will never know.
  4. What's prussocking ? According to urban dictionary it's getting dicked over by an out of shape alcoholic. I'm not a climber unless you count ladders but I've used Prusik and Blake's hitch and both worked for me. If I was going to do something serious I would spend the money and get the best for the job, zigzag or whatever is the favourite at the moment.
  5. I watched a quad with a little trailer on chewing a furrow in a rugby pitch and they towed it off with a Mule, it must depend on the operator a lot of the time.
  6. A little utility vehicle like the Kawasaki Mule might be the answer for you, I've seen them used on a few estates.
  7. I've had a wasp phobia ever since I got one down my shirt while riding my bike and was stung 7 times across my back. I know they fulfil a useful part in nature but once they've done the useful part they become a nuisance.
  8. Scratch it then
  9. Not anywhere you want to grip either, that stuff is the work of the devil for making things slippery.
  10. Did you order the giant felling spikes as well ? (dawgs) If you're pimping it you have to go all the way.
  11. It will say on the carb what model it is, probably on the body at the side of the throttle linkage.
  12. I would be more worried about the spelling The tree looks healthy enough. It's a Beech tree.
  13. Can't see anything anywhere at the moment , I'll try again another day thanks for the tip.
  14. I was given one of the above as a non-runner with no clutch cover and now have it running sweet as a nut. Question is, in the specs online it says the chain brake was optional on these so is there a cover available anywhere with integrated brake or is it an ornament ?
  15. I'm getting a Not secure warning as well, pain in the areas.
  16. I've never heard a baby being murdered
  17. How would you even know what that sounds like ? You are a troubled person
  18. Hutzl Farmertec is the kit supplier I look at. I get an email when they have offers.
  19. When we had our Fox terrier she stuck her nose in a wasp nest and got stung and it swelled up like a golf ball. She was so out of it I had to carry her home. I think they feel it same as us and the effects can be greater depending on where they are stung same as us. I got stung on the ear and it was painful but on the hand it's no worse than a nettle sting.
  20. I have a cheap Chinese top handle saw which says to use a 25:1 mix but I have run it on Aspen 2 for the last couple of years and it has no problems. Cobra are probably just covering themselves.
  21. What is it a copy of, 372 or something ?
  22. Looks like Laburnum pods, don't eat any.
  23. Those look good in the resin ball on the rough burr for contrast.
  24. The one with the pointy tail looks like a wood wasp, they are probably male and female of the same thing. American article here on them
  25. That's how we used to get to nests in the rookery when we were kids, just used the nails to get to the lower branches then free climb. We were indestructible then though nearly 60 years ago.
