Saw runs well, starts easily, no problems, so as I am forever tinkering thought I would replace the rings. Compression was between 150-160 psi. People have said "don't mend it if it aint broke" but I was curious, for me it is all a learning process knowing what can be achieved. Replaced rings, only takes 20 mins, ran it for 5 mins let it cool, compression now 165 psi, so could increase a tad, when bedded in. Are rings considered service items, should a pro saw get new rings every year, or do people just run them till they are knackered? H-A

was he trying to kill her off to get the inheritance? H-A

That looks nice and safe H-A

Also make sure the ignition is grounded. I has a TS400 catch fire doing this, never thought petrol vapour and spark would be so dramatic. Managed to blow it out, but got the heart going, could have been more of a problem if spilt fuel was about, or starting in kitchen, with spilt fuel on floor. H-A

I have just put this on my Christmas list Zombie Survival Manual A little light after lunch reading:001_smile: H-A

I personally never show a number plate in an inter-web photo. Now they know where you live, lock up your saws. Could be me being a little paranoid. The older ones only leave a trail of Hypoid:biggrin: H-A P.S. Congrats on being a Grandad.

You beat me to it, perfect method, the only thing I can add is, you may be able to slide thin webbing straps behind the flywheel. Then hold the saw by the straps, one or two sharp taps with a middle sized hammer. This also works for me. H-A

Husqvarna 2101 That would be good. I may add another to my original list Stihl 020AV Super, this must be classed as iconic. H-A
-
I have decided to increase my collection of saws. The ones at the moment that I consider iconic are : MS200T 254XP What should I get next? One a bit bigger perhaps? H-A

Stihl Synthplus, 5L from Honey Bros £14.58 + vat = £17.50. Gave up on veg oil, gums everything up, as I don't use saws every day. H-A

I am not sure it is the clutch, If you are cutting at wide open throttle, the clutch will not make the engine die, as it will be engaged. There are three possibilities "as I see it", that will make the engine cut out. 1. Lack of fuel (carb problem) 2. Lack of spark (coil, plug, ignition lead, kill switch problem) 3. Crankcase or induction leak. Techs will be able to give more advice, my bet is air leak, what are the crank bearings and seals like. Chain gets loaded in a cut, play in bearings, allows air past crank seals, engine dies, could be wrong, is there any play in the crank? H-A

Do not take this the wrong way, have you checked it has fuel. I have done it, mended an engine, run it for a bit then it stopped. It would not start until I put petrol in it, easy one to miss. I would trace the grounding wire, simple continuity issue. H-A
-
I do not want to step on the toes of the Techs, who have way more experience than I do. Crankshaft seals ? the guy mending this saw was just throwing parts at it, fitter not mechanic. £600 is ridiculous, he should have said at the start, "beyond economical repair", or at least said this repair is beyond my skills. H-A P.S. I will give you £200 for it.

That was the plan if there are no bits about, bit of steel tube then MIG weld it, it is a very tight bend though. The band could be more of a challenge, should be able to cut down a longer one. Bit of trial and error getting the length correct. H-A
-
I have found pictures of three or four versions of this saw. My one should have a brake like this http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s106/Hotze/100_0135.jpg Still has the broken tubular steel bit left, missing the band. H-A
-
Got a Pioneer P12 at a boot sale today, runs well, the guy said he could not start it. Anyone got a spare chain brake hand guard and brake band? I think mid seventies, is this one of the first top handled saws? Canadian made, chrome bore must be a pro type saw. I love the colour and the retro design, must be worth the £20 I paid for it H-A
-
There is no use by date on the bottles, I would think it would last a very long time unmixed. H-A
-
I use ISO-L-EGD, low smoke, fuel stabilizer. Also known as Stihl HP Super, comes in a nice dispensing 1 litre bottle. H-A
-
I would be patient with it, start "chucking teddy" and it gets expensive very quickly. shake it with plug out, upside down it will come out. Best to give it to a kid and say I bet you can't get that little bit of plastic out of there, if you can I will give you a tenner. (remove chain and bumper spike). Guarantee my kids would be lining up for the challange. H-A
-
It was worth the effort, tuned it in, now idles as it should. Now when I back the idle screw off, it will stop. Perfect now, very pleased. This must be a common fault, with this saw. H-A
-
Yes that would be good http://www.british-film-locations.com/image/b2016-Shaun-of-The-Dead-2004.jpg Tesco does have more beer and food. H-A
-
All done, bearings and seals went in easily, thanks for the heating advice. So many bits to put it back together, lots of different length screws. Hope it was worth it, will test in the morning. H-A

Now I am starting to worry, Britain is well prepared to fight apocalyptic zombie invasion - Telegraph I also believe two top handle saws is the way to go, when you run out of 12 bore cartridges. ( easier to buy a shotgun than a top handle ) H-A

Sorry I did not know there was a similar post. H-A

My 14 year old son and I walked round Bentley woodfair, and after he became a little bored, he started deciding which type of tool or saw he would be grabbing in the event of a "Zombie apocalypse". Sorry if this post is a little bit odd, but he found it funny, I was able to pop into the beer tent. His final decision was a ms201t and a cherry picker, with axe as a backup. What would you use ?
