  1. Could just be the cap seal, lay it on it's side.
  2. I have an Air Arms S410 .22 and a Chinese springer plus the one I use most which is a .177 BSA Cadet which was my dad's gun, killed a few rats with it this year when they invaded ours and next door garden. Get something nice and light would be my choice.
  3. Battery saw for sale on Sam Turner site for a good price 👍

    Stihl 020

    Points ignition and no anti vibe, lovely. I've got half of a rear handle one in the shed if anybody wants it.🙂

    Stihl 020

    What if he threw it over the back hedge while you were out ?😜
  6. Average thickness new is .005", 20 would be generous.
  7. I just rub them round with some 240 and WD or 2 stroke oil, never used a hone on them.
  8. Zama have plants in Japan and Tennessee as well as China, as long as quality is maintained there is nothing wrong with Zama or Walbro. There are plenty of old saws still running with them.
  9. We would have called it a Heinz 57 but nowadays it would have a fancy name like a Spandle or something and cost £2000.
  10. Who to ? 😆 It looks like a parts bin special that someone else had the same idea about selling. Make it look like a chainsaw and someone will buy it. It looks like it started out as an 026 then started evolving. If you bought it as spares repairs you can't complain, you got what it is described as. Have you tried to repair it yet ?
  11. I use what they call a pointed bow saw for stuff up to about three inches thick. You can get green and dry wood blades cheap enough. They are induction hardened so don't sharpen very well and are a throwaway item.
  12. Get me a couple of those £200 365s, £400 seems to be the going rate for a decent one and they are not small saws in my view at 6.5kg and 70cc.

    Hexa chains

    Generous friend, did they donate a file to sharpen it as well ? What size bar is it on ? It just about doubled the value of the saw.
  14. It will certainly be up in there if it ever starts.😉
  15. Ordinary nuts will do the job but any flange nuts spread the load better.
  16. It's a bit like a gas leak 😊 My Aspen supplier recently shut shop and I went to a local garden tool seller who sells Stihl Motomix. Joking I asked him if it would be alright to use in my Husqvarna 135 and he replied quite seriously that it should be fine.
  17. Did it with a saw and poured fuel down my leg.🙃
  18. Treehog trolley type thing would move them once you lift them in.
  19. I've never used one but I've seen them used. They just use the points as a trigger
  20. The centrifuge bits come off backwards or the middle comes out forwards whichever way you look at it.
  21. I had a 171 doing similar and it had everything done. In the end resetting the metering arm seemed to fix it.
  22. Where did the rest of the clutch go ?
  23. It does look like the filter has seen better days.
  24. Does the Magnum have a chocolate coating with nuts ? My 044 is still good and I have an 036 which is a bit lighter. They only get occasional use but never let me down. 044 has 20" bar and the 036 18"
  25. Up or down is going to be in the direction of rotation which is what I go with. OEM are reused if possible here.
