  1. I'm retired and only cut firewood but I do like to go to the local exhibition every year. I had just had a hernia operation when we went this year so I was not at my best I didn't even attempt the 088 they had there
  2. I picked a 661 up at the last exhibition we went to. I put it down again quick it was heavy
  3. He who laughs last didn't get the joke when the others did Tell them to p1$$ off and grow up.
  4. En route, is that like on root ? Are you getting the really big dictionary to beat Stubby round the head ?
  5. I think they lose their memory and forget what they are supposed to do. They are supposed to keep hot things hot and cold things cold but how do they know which to do ?
  6. The secret with the pouring lid is to open it before you screw the lid on then close it once it's tightened and turn the flask over to get rid of the drips. If the lid is sealed when you tighten it the rubber is turned and twists off or rips, ours did it till we realised what happens.
  7. Open the L screw up a bit and speed the tickover till it moves the chain then back it off till it stops moving. Mine was set weak and you had to fast idle it every time but it's good now.
  8. Give the primer bulb plenty of pump for the first start. Pull the choke out and lift up and pull till it coughs then push the lever down to the fast run and pull it over again [ame] [/ame]
  9. Could be anybody
  10. It makes me want to taste it Reminds me of hundreds and thousands sprinkles.
  11. Not relevant to the original post but we found a Laurel growing between the slabs in our garden with no idea where it came from, birds spreading seed probably. It was in full leaf about a foot tall and I just pulled it out but the roots came with it so I stuck it in a pot of soil and it grew on quite happily. It gets watered when it rains and when anyone thinks about it otherwise it is ignored. I thought Laurel was a Hardy perennial ! Sorry, I'll get my coat.
  12. Is the auction for both saws as the additional message makes it sound like a Dutch auction ?
  13. Is there much difference between the Dolmar 6100 and the Makita 6100 apart from the Makita being about £200 cheaper ?
  14. There, their, they're. Don't start that up again Mick it'll all end in tiers
  15. No I was going to say you leave my grammar out of this, she's done nothing to deserve it.
  16. I just have a sign for anyone who it may concern
  17. Go easy on the commas as well, totally unnecessary
  18. That's not grammar it's spelling. Rouge is French for Red innit and God should have a capital G.
  19. Does it have H & L screws same as a saw carb ? Open the L screw up a bit to richen it and possibly speed tickover up a bit as well.

    Tiny echo!

    What profile are the screws, D, double D, spline or pacman ? You can buy a set of all 4 for £10 post free on eBay or a bit less on Amazon but plus post.
  21. Think of the environment, don't just blow the problem onto next door here
  22. Is this your neighbour ?
  23. My friend bought a MS181 about the same time as I bought my 135, his 181 went back because it wouldn't oil (new pump fitted) then it wouldn't tick over and now it's a pig to start. My 135 had a problem with the oil pump drive not disconnecting on tickover but once that was cured it's had no more problems. I wouldn't call either of them mediocre they are capable saws they both do the job well for the price. If I get another saw I would probably go for the Echo CS-310ES, cheaper than both the aforementioned but gets good reviews.
  24. They never look good till about three years after they have been done, just get in there and cut some off.
