Fresh fuel this morning from texaco mixed with stihl red oil. I will check if the carb warming valve is open, it may be missing! The cooling fins are clean, although half of the top one is missing and it's missing three fins from the fly wheel. I cleaned the carb a while back but never replaced the insides so I will do that. Thanks for the help guys

I replaced the tank breather with a cheap one about a month ago cos I couldn't find a similar one to the original. Can you still get the 'inline' ones?

Just leave cutting the stumps right down low as the very last job

Today i was cutting logs with my jonsereds 520 sp. when I unscrewed the fuel filler cap there was pressure in the tank and the fuel started bubbling. I fuelled the saw up and cut for ten mins again then unscrewed the cap to see what happened and a fountain of petrol bubbles shot out and nearly hit me in the face! Never seen this before, what could it be and how could I fix it? Thanks will

Turn the pawls around or file a square edge on them. I did this on my 050 which has a worn cup and it worked a treat

How long did it take? I used to dig over my mums veg garden and that would have took nearly all week with a shovel

Used to work in an 70acres of apple orchards when I was at school thaw farmer used to cut the grass and make hay between the trees. It was rubbish stuff, not dried properly (he didn't turn it enough) and full of sticks and weeds. He grazed sheep in there for part of the year aswell.

I see your point. Can you cut the black plastic off to inspect it? Maybe there is a loler inspector who hasn't seen this thread yet?

This is what it's costs so far Power head £8 Air filter £8 Air filter base and cover and bar and chain £45 Bolt for back handle £2 So £63 so far

Hi eddy, Yes I did check, I looked to see if the oil pump was there and it was. I started the saw with no bar and chain and oil pumped out of the side. I mounted the bar and chain and checked again and it's all good! Lucky I guess!

I see it! Don't have it can I still get it from stihl or will I have to find an old one?

No, I will look on the ipl

Right, got hold of the rest of the bits to make a complete saw now. I swapped an 08s that I bought on eBay for £45 with my mate for the air filter base and cover and the clutch side casing. But kept the 20 inch bar and chain that came with it. 1st problem I came across was when trying to sharpen the very badly sharpened chain I kept blunting brand new files. Is this because the chain has got so hot during previous use it has hardened the cutters? 2nd problem, cut a few logs with it and it started smoking. There is a gap letting sawdust onto the muffler is this because the side case is the wrong one?

Bump!

I was working on trees next to a road today and a man in a landrover stopped and asked me if I would be interested in a 4 metre long walnut butt. I said that I wasn't but offered to post his details here. About 18 inches at the bottom end six foot to the first branch. His name is Kingsley smith 01256 850553. May be worth something to someone
