  1. You can do what you want with it it's your chain Chains don't need to be balanced though.
  2. Gimme 6 bro
  3. I have an old 036 Gumtree bargain from before they fitted a decompression valve to them. It's identical to an 034 except for the badge. It still runs great.
  4. Get some 240 grit wet and dry round your finger with oil on and rub the inside. Keep trying it till it spins then clean it out and put a blob of grease in and refit it or just fit a new one
  5. Oil pump drive is behind the clutch. When the clutch and drum are off and the bearing you will see a brown plastic circle. Spin it out and it should rotate freely on the crank. Mine was stuck till I freed it off and was causing the chain to run on tickover. The springs don't exactly snap but it's an easy swap so do it anyway.
  6. As they say, he who laughs last laughs longest or thinks slowest

    Insurance

    That would be my plan of action, unless you are charging people for access and any activities they may carry out in the woods.
  8. I've found that as well, the thin ones slide out easily and seem flimsy. Worth looking for a proper one.
  9. Belmont garden machinery in Selston sell me parts with no problem.
  10. I didn't include the cat because they use C for their battery saws, comfort or clean sound like possibilities.
  11. B is easy chain adjust, E is easy start and Q is quickstop plus. Not sure what the C is for it might be low emission (caring for nature in their write up).
  12. On windows 10 type system restore in your search bar bottom left and select create a restore point. System properties will open in a box and you can click on the system restore button. It will show the recommended restore but you can click on choose a different restore point and go to an earlier one when you know your computer was running properly. You don't need to do a complete install.
  13. Buy some heated gloves to go with it
  14. The link might look like it goes to Dropbox but is actually downloading something to the recipient's computer. If it's an unsolicited mail and it contains a link or an attachment it goes in the bin without clicking on any live link or run it through your virus checker.
  15. They might not have hacked your actual account but be spoofing your address. If any of your "victims" checks the full headers on the message they will see where it has come from and all the re-routes it has gone through.
  16. It's a baseball term, or rounders as we call it
  17. ? maths is not your problem it's autocorrect you need
  18. You do need oil for the bar and chain though, something it doesn't seem to provide.
  19. Seen this done before and they seem to forget the oiler so the chain and bar are not going to last.
  20. Get another Timex and buy her something with the change. I've had mine over 20 years and it's lost a lot of its functions but it still tells the time.
  21. Stihl dealers carry these parts or can order them for you. I recently got a brake handle screw with a top hat washer from the local dealer after a couple of days wait. L&S show them available with a few days wait for delivery for a 440 but it's most likely a common part.
  22. Let's see Klaus the forklift driver now [ame] [/ame]
  23. Stop reading now
  24. And getting the saw into the ground quite a lot as well as knackering your knees. It looks like a good idea.
  25. What grease should I use on my nose sprocket ? Don't use any it sucks in cosmic particles and will cause a wormhole transporting you to another dimension where you will be tormented for the rest of eternity with questions about what saw to buy and which trousers and boots are best and what do you use to knock wedges in and are they the right colour wedges for softwood and am I allowed to climb a tree with a wood pigeon in it in case it's thinking of building a nest ? I know because it happened to me, Help me !
