  1. You can buy a little pump wedge specially designed for the job, opens a gap up to get at the lock button for when you leave your keys in the car.
  2. There are half a dozen pairs of safety glasses dotted round my shed , 2 pairs on a shelf as you go in so no excuse for not putting them on.

    Tuning?

    It's normal for there to be a fast idle setting for the start after choke is shut off, is there a latch on the throttle or do you have to wedge the trigger with your foot I had to give the L screw a tweak to richen it up but I still have to use fast idle sometimes when the saw is warm. Check youtube to get the hang of what they sound like running rich and weak. [ame] [/ame]
  4. Cut a slot in them with a Dremel and make them into proper screws
  5. When trees go bad. From the people who brought you loads of other sensational crap like ice road truckers. It must have been pretty scary to be stuck there though. Had there been work done on the road to upset the roots?

    Sachs Dolmar

    The latter saws are just Dolmar with no Sachs involved aren't they .?
  7. He was on the naughty step
  8. It's snowing quite heavily here. Met office has a yellow warning (not the don't eat yellow snow one)
  9. He said it first !
  10. A friend of mine uses a Screwfix 2000w Titan saw for firewood and it's not silent but it's nowhere near the noise of a petrol saw. Biggest noise is the chain going round the bar. Well worth the £50 it cost him
  11. Do they make Ssangyong noodles in the same factory as the cars ? Used to like their spicy noodles not had any for ages.
  12. Spliffing old chap
  13. There's a Silver Birch down our garden. It was a sapling when we came here 30 years ago and I ignored it then it somehow became something with 4 leaders all about 10" thick and growing over our and the neighbours gardens either side so I took a couple of the trunks out and trimmed the side branches. It put out a load of epicormic growth and the two remaining trunks have thickened even more and it is now about 40' tall so another trunk is going to be firewood as soon as I get round it again. There's a Hawthorn tree behind it that keeps getting butchered into a lollipop as well and it seems to thrive on it and I have a couple of small wall side Worcester Pearmain Apple trees growing. Cut the tops off the Birches and they will bush out is my finding. I also find that trees seem to grow unaided by me, I only planted the apples but I had Rowan, Cherry, Birch and Ash plus the Hawthorn and the garden is not big enough for all that lot and the stuff my wife wants to grow so the trees lost.
  14. Get some pro-guard mould your own or something similar.
  15. It's probably been wedged in there a while and just got picked up by the flywheel as you used it. Did you check all the screws were present before ? Think lucky thoughts.
  16. I hope you cleaned it before you sent it back.
  17. Mesh goggles are available with a strap round the back of the head and if you knock your earplugs out you didn't put them in properly. We can pick fault with any solution and if the conventional methods don't work then you have to find something that does.
  18. My nose is a bit blue
  19. Upside down snow, snow, snow Fog is dropping here at the moment.
  20. What size saw did you use to do one that small ?
  21. Standing up would probably her biggest problem A comfortable helmet and earplugs would be a better solution than throwing money at different ear muffs and helmets.
  22. I've got one in my watching on eBay as we speak
  23. Leylandii just turn into a row of trees too close together with nothing at the bottom from what I've seen. I was on school gardens when the craze for them started in the 70s and they were planted everywhere as the latest big thing. Now they are the bane of a lot of people's lives having inherited them with a property and ignored them for a few years and facing a big bill to get rid of them. We used to trim them back and they never recovered, not like a Yew hedge and a lot were taken out and replaced with Beech fortunately.
  24. Something is not quite right, not sure what it is.
  25. I hope you don't wear your kkk outfit when you go to quote
