About £120 I think, £155 is about the maximum you get if you have 35 years NI contributions. I have 33 so will be £9 short but I can buy two more years at £740 each to make it up so in 13 years I will have got my money back, bargain.

How can you be at your best and getting better If you enjoy what you are doing it's not like work so don't expect to get paid for it Seriously if you feel up to it why even ask for anyone else's opinion, only you can be the judge of your abilities.

It's a special floor covering to make the trees stand out so they are easier to spot.

It would stop opportunist thieves but not offer much resistance to anyone who came equipped for the job. A portable angle grinder to cut the end of the securing bar and it's out and away. Screwfix do a lock that covers the padlock for similar money

If the clutch drum is a bit oval or your clutch bearing is dodgy it will catch. If it spins freely no problem.

Does the clutch spin freely by hand with nothing attached to it ?

Ikea does an oil for kitchen wood and it does the job nicely even though it has a stupid name. SKYDD treatment oil. We have a bottle and it lasts for ages.

I've welded with oxy acetylene, mig, mma arc and tig and tig is nothing like gas welding. The fit up has to be good, everything needs to be scrupulously clean and the coordination is a lot more critical. I have a Kemppi inverter mig at the moment and a Stel tig which hasn't been touched in ages and I still have my Portapak oxy set but it is only used for warming stuck nuts and bolts these days or if I have some really thin rusty stuff to repair as it is a fairly tolerant process like stick welding. The mig gets used most and the gas is not a problem working outside just put a board up to deflect draught if you need to. You will not mig with pure argon you need an active element, co2 in the mix.

There's some over the wall from us and I jump over and give it a shot when it is about a foot tall and again at the end of the season when it is powering up the rhizomes for winter and it seems to be working, I have it back to about 20 feet from the wall now. I'll try the washing up liquid in the mix when I go over again.

Buy a can of carb cleaner and blast trough all the holes while you have it apart and check the diaphragm under that cover has not split or gone brittle. Level setting is done by bending the lever not by any screws.

Looking for genuine opinions and suggestions for chipper upgrade

6mm is optimistic for your 150 amp welder, 4mm is more realistic. You will stick it together but not efficiently. For 8 to 10mm you are looking at something bigger than you will run on single phase mig but if you go for a mig/mma multiprocess welder you will do the job. You might have to up your budget a bit though.

Think yourself lucky it can't breed, the noise they make sat on the chimney will drive you up the wall if there are more of them

Whereabouts are you Harry, you don't have a location in your profile ? Someone more familiar with saws could just look at it with you. Try some fuel down the plug hole (a teaspoonful) and warming the plug on the cooker then put it back together pretty quick and pull it over with fast idle set or wedge the trigger with your foot.
-
Check the screw still has the tensioner spring on it, screw it back in gently till it seats then back it out one full turn and try starting your saw as normal. It will take a few extra pulls to get fuel through as you have had the carb off but as soon as it coughs drop the choke lever to fast idle and pull again.

Just seen my first while out on a walkabout and saw a couple of Peewits as well.

If I were you Harry I would find someone else with a running Stihl MS230 and swap it while they are not looking Is the carb Walbro or Zama ? You can get one on ebay for under £20. The screw shouldn't fall out and there are lots of possible reasons why it won't start.

I worked in a box factory and if you have one anywhere nearby ask if they have any rejects about the size you need. We used to make plain boxes for firms to sell on and 70p does sound a touch expensive unless you are buying them in 10s or less.

I have a multi stem one growing in a bucket in the back garden just about in full leaf now.
