Stick an Allen bolt in it with the correct thread, the head pattern doesn't matter.

Do you not turn your bar to equalise wear ? Everybody else does. Just don't turn the chain backwards as well, all will be good.
-
Probably didn't get the answer he wanted 🤷♂️

I had one of these doing similar and all it needed was the metering lever lifting a bit.

I have the 036 which I bought a few years ago and can vouch for it still being a usable classic. -
Got a Husqvarna 236 with a chain tensioner problem. Problem is the chain tensioner has gone, it's missing completely. One ordered from GHS should be an easy one.

How long is a piece of string ? It's a bit hit and miss guessing settings, I just fitted a carb kit to a McCulloch and the H & L screws are both 2.5 turns out to get it to run. Set the tick over high and get it running to warm it up then try from there.

MS460 has a separate cylinder and is a good saw to work on but it's no lightweight. I fitted a Stihl OEM cylinder and piston to the one I bought as it had the plug stripped and a broken ring land on the piston.
-
I notice that the professional saws have a black handle insert round the trigger interlock.as opposed to a white or all black rear handle.
-
It looks like it's a fireplace insert not an actual stove. Belper is only about 8 miles from where we live but I never heard of Firecast.

I was there that day, can you see me waving ?

Had a well used McCulloch Dakota 442 on the bench, non-runner. Dismantled and cleaned carb and fitted a carb kit, bit of a fiddle as they have a cable instead of linkage but it went back together and fired up third pull. It runs nice enough for a dog but I put fuel in it and left it on the bench, went back next morning to a stink of fuel and a half empty saw. The tank breather is in the middle of the fuel cap (stupid idea) and it's failed so a new cap is on way from eBay. Owner is on holiday for another week so it should be ready for when he gets back.

I refer the honoured gentleman to this thread

Meanwhile, in the fourth dimension the tree still stands.

Can't start my MS460 from cold without the decomp button.
-
Just had a look in the shed and there's an 020AVP minus bar and clutch cover in there, sparks but doesn't run and not worth messing with.

Worm wheel sounds like a toy for a pet worm😁
-
That plastic plug thing is your worm drive for the oil pump, looks well mangled.
-
I sharpen as soon as they start to blunt and stop making chips, nothing worse than struggling along trying to force the cut.
-
It seasons quicker if you split it down while it's still green as well. 🥲
-
Looks like an Aliexpress seller so most likely a Chinese replacement coil.
-
I've never seen it but a friend of mine claimed it happened to his old MZ bike a few times and he did have a witness to confirm it.
-
No number sorry I bought it on eBay a few years ago, I thought they were all like that.
-
The tool I have for my 135 Mk1 tapers so it might fit both.

🤯 £6 will get you a full English most places I eat, is Gordon Ramsay cooking for you ? Birch is popular with spoon carvers, especially while it's still green and it's good for kindling when it's seasoned. I got a load on freecycle last year, cup of tea while we loaded it as well 👍
