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.

It would depend on how efficient the council is at managing their finances wouldn't it ? If they just see it as an opportunity to put rates up to cover their inefficiencies like the power companies seem able to do instead of using their money sensibly and setting some aside for running costs. We all know which it is going to be so I'm saying it's a bad thing. A friend of mine runs a small shop and has been told his business rates are set to double which will effectively mean it's no longer worth trading. Considering the post where someone is working for the council and also their self surely that is a conflict of interest.

Lifelong guarantee or till I reach the first bend in the road, whichever comes first. No quibbles, can't stand 'em the furry little beggars.

The was a local case where 6 Leylandii were causing a problem growing up against a gable and the owners of the trees wanted £4000 in compensation for the loss of the trees. The case went to court and they were told to remove the trees and the owners moved house after they lost their claim.

Get it off the car with the tow ball and you can turn it upside down and try tapping it with something to dislodge the key plus you can now use the boot.
-
Just watched it on my iPhone 4s, messed about rewinding, pausing and forward again then back to the app no problem. It must be these new fangled ones that can't hack it.
-
We are still on about the saw aren't we ?
-
Can you unbolt the towball to get into the car boot or is it posh swan neck that doesn't detach ?
-
I like watching these. You don't see overhead gas pipes like that round here they would probably go missing. Nice work Alexandr.

Poplar is good at absorbing water and turning into mush and the bark peels off it as well so it gets to absorb water even quicker.
-
If it did the job that's all that matters.

It looks like a beaver took it down

They look more like pupae than grubs, small moth probably.

28° on our back garden this afternoon, we got burnt a bit.
