Is it the cover melted or is it chip getting hot and fusing to the plastic ? I've seen it on a few different saws and it scrapes off like a dust with the plastic still intact underneath.

I think that would be going back whatever the assessor says. I've seen trailers covered in farm muck washed off and still in better nick than that. You don't need mordant solution on weathered galvanising only on fresh stuff.

Updated on my 4s and it's up and running again. It's giving me pro tips

I've noticed in a local park two old sycamores a couple of hundred feet apart have failed to leaf all down one side this year. They don't look well at all.

Clean the carb out if it's been stood any length of time possibly fit a carb kit with diaphragm and needle, set the carb to manufacturer standard (screw H&L in then open up 1 full turn usually) then tweak it from there.

Spelt still wrong ? I'll believe it's still running when he posts a video of it.

I'm just surprised you admit to playing golf with either hand, what kind of person are you ?

I set fire to my overalls crotch using a 125mm angle grinder, a tool which I am comfortable using left or right handed just by unscrewing the side handle. Making a left handed chainsaw would be a major redesign process for the manufacturers and would probably make left handed saws prohibitively expensive.

Chainsaws are not flying round a track through the cooling air and their cylinder fins are in a cowl, they need all the help they can get to stay cool. How much more performance do you need out of your MS200 ? Was your go kart air or air and water cooled ?

Permethrin spec sheet here, it doesn't sound good for cats. Here's a list of different bites and what they look like

036 was flooding and being a pig to start so I had another look at it today. The fast idle position on the choke was not opening the choke flap enough so I bent the choke linkage and the throttle a bit as well and it's different altogether now firing up and picking up nicely.

You don't need to swap the switch just bypass it and switch it at the wall. I did it with my pillar drill when the zero volt switch failed. Two thin bits of metal to join the spade connectors together and if it runs you know it's the switch. If it's clunking it's not the switch. You only need an analogue tester set to something like 10,000 ohms to bridge the contacts and watch the needle jump up then come back down if it's still good. If it's bad the needle stays up as it's not discharging.

I am still getting the bubble and if I go to login I get Access Denied This forum is currently not available, please try again later. I wondered if it's because my phone is old and the latest Ios update is not available for it.

We get a wren in the lean to most evenings, comes in and looks round all the eaves for insects then either get comfortable or leaves. When the young ones fligged they all came in with her and they were hopping into everything looking for the way back out till I opened the door for them.

Still same no topics bubble.

Just deleted and reinstalled the app and it just has a bubble now with no topics under it. Tried to sign in and is now says access denied. This forum is currently unavailable, please try again later. I read on the PC mostly so not a big problem and the mobile site view on the tablet is quite good.

As long as they stop before they breach the cylinder wall they should be fine. You were lucky to spot the crack through all that gunge

I always use carb cleaner to clean carbs when I strip them, fire it through all the channels and fit new diaphragm etc. Do you mean easy start?

My iphone 4s just says error domain = tapatalk... when I try to open a topic.

That's like this seized 044 I just did. It was full of greasy sawdust and the flywheel side needed a shovel to clean it out it was so full of something like soil you could hardly see the ignition coil, don't know what it had been cutting. Brake cleaner and air line then a paint brush to get in the corners and it looks like somebody loves it now.

Start/run capacitor on the motor would be my first port of call Steve. It's the round thing with two wires going to it. Read the numbers off the old one and order the same, I got one for my pressure washer for £6 from the local electrical supplier when it started to go clunk instead of firing up. You could bypass the switch and just switch it at the wall to eliminate it from the list.
-
It takes about 15 minutes to remove and strip a carb, procrastinating about what else you should do will not get it fixed. Find out what kind of carb it has and order a kit for it (usually under £10 sometimes under £5) then if that doesn't work start looking for other options.

Are ticks a real risk for climbers, I thought they were more of a low level threat

Not Echo but I've used a couple of same saws and they develop their own characteristics and the brake is one part that never feels the same on two saws. You sometimes have to snap the brake all the way back to the top handle to release it and then only have to move another one back a couple of inches. Use it and get used to it.
