  1. I'll second the Codling moth diagnosis. We have a couple of small eating apple trees on the back garden and this year they have been ravaged with the little blighters. They are tiny, about 6mm long with a grub like body and black head. I'm getting a couple of pheromone traps for next year.
  2. They are governed to the sweet spot aren't they ?
  3. I would have been alright walking behind the mower after three weeks but lifting it in and out of a van would have been a different matter. I would say 5 weeks was when I was getting back to normal, just the odd pulling sensation but now I am back to normal at about 10 weeks. I'm 64 and was putting up with it for the last 9 years because I got fed up of hospital when I had bladder cancer but like you it got too painful just a dull ache most of the time and was causing other problems (urinary ) One side done(the most painful one) and now so much better. You'll know when you feel up to doing a bit, don't get impatient and undo the good work the surgeon puts in. Sorry for the derail as well but it's good to get these things sorted. Back to the original post Buy the saw and have fun with it on your Logosol.
  4. I was black and blue for about 5 weeks but I was able to function normally but nothing too strenuous. About 10 weeks and I am up to previous capacity now. I did not have key hole, that is supposed to be quicker recovery. I'm booked in to have another one done at the end of February by the same surgeon, he stitches nicely so I only have a thin scar. It's not something I am looking forward to but once it's done I will be a lot happier and more comfortable. Mine is inguinal hernia are yours same ?
  5. 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
  6. I picked a 661 up at the last exhibition we went to. I put it down again quick it was heavy
  7. He who laughs last didn't get the joke when the others did Tell them to p1$$ off and grow up.
  8. En route, is that like on root ? Are you getting the really big dictionary to beat Stubby round the head ?
  9. 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 ?
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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]
  13. Could be anybody
  14. It makes me want to taste it Reminds me of hundreds and thousands sprinkles.
  15. 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.
  16. Is the auction for both saws as the additional message makes it sound like a Dutch auction ?
  17. Is there much difference between the Dolmar 6100 and the Makita 6100 apart from the Makita being about £200 cheaper ?
  18. There, their, they're. Don't start that up again Mick it'll all end in tiers
  19. No I was going to say you leave my grammar out of this, she's done nothing to deserve it.
  20. I just have a sign for anyone who it may concern
  21. Go easy on the commas as well, totally unnecessary
  22. That's not grammar it's spelling. Rouge is French for Red innit and God should have a capital G.
  23. 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.
  25. Think of the environment, don't just blow the problem onto next door here
