  1. Don't have my 360 to hand but it is either D or double D if I recall correctly. Get yourself a set of these, they are cheap & cover all the newer variations on carb screws. Set Of 4 Carb Carburettor Adjusting Tools Suit WALBRO ZAMA. Comes With Case | eBay
  2. They're lucky criminals in Caerdydd would rather have cheap PVC doors rather than proper secure ones like this. [ame] [/ame]
  3. Bought myself a slightly larger wee chipper at an auction last Friday an 18HP Cramer HS450 wants a new air filter, a good clean & the blades sharpening then I will have to shop around for the best blade & belt prices I can find to ensure I have spares to hand but seems to be running ok. Won't get into as tight a space as my 5HP Rover chipper will but handles bigger material & should help bridge the gap between that & the big chipper.
  4. I think they make things up as they go along anyway. Husky 365 24" chain on their site (£24.19 for 2 chains). Piranha Chains For Husqvarna Chainsaws Ebay price for 2 24" husky 365 chains (£18.38). GENUINE PIRANHA CHAINSAW SAW CHAIN *PACK OF 2* FITS HUSQVARNA 365 24" BAR | eBay At first glance ebay sounds a better deal but when you look at the details you see the chain gauge is different (063 on the ebay one) making those chains completely useless. No point contacting them to ask them to sell you the correct chain as they don't reply to messages. Does seem a bit odd that they publish quotes from & link to this thread as part of their advertising though as they have stopped posting on it themselves & the negative comments are monting up quite quickly now.

  5. Same company I got my 360TES from. Took a week to arrive, no PDI but ran fine straight out the box.
  6. Very different oil though the Exol heavy oil is a very thick gloopy oil the Super Sexy/Oregon oil is very thin. I stopped using Oregon oil when it became so thin as I have always found a thicker oil suits me better.
  7. Exol heavy chain oil (L048) has just gone up. I bought 25L today price sticker said £43+vat same as usual computer at checkout said £49+vat, they said £43 is what they are paying now but honoured marked price & went off to change all the stickers in a hurry.
  8. If you decide to consider an Echo saw then the 2 models in that price range worth looking at are the CS-620SX or the CS-501SX. Multiple threads on here discussing them if you want to do a bit of research. Parts are readily available for Echo saws but are rarely needed. No Autotune to go wrong they have proper carbs.
  9. Started with the stock 14" Echo branded Tsumura bar but managed to track down a 12" Echo/Tsumura which is far more suitable. Chain brand is whatever I have to hand on a roll when making loops in 3/8 LP currently it is Oregon.
  10. To give you an idea what you would be competing against. My Echo CS-8002 decided it didn't want to cut through a piece of angle iron which had been absorbed into a tree about 30 years ago with no outward indication it was there resulting in a knackered chain & snapped tensioner screw. Went to order from Abbey Garden Sales online parts dept on the 6th as I know they sell Echo parts. My model was not listed so had to look up part numbers elsewhere then type in part numbers for the 3 components of the tensioner in their search box. Ordered 2 of each part, was charged £7.99 P+P ordered anyway as I need that saw running. Heard nothing until the 11th when I got an email saying order had been dispatched. Arrived in a jiffy bag on the 13th, marked sent as second class post. Shouldn't be too hard to beat that service.
  11. If you were closer I would happily fill a trailer with blocks in both sizes mentioned free of charge subject to the condition that I could make a short video of you using one of the metre high blocks to post on here.
  12. Looks like they sold out so you will have to wait until they are restocked. Ebay shop: Scooter Wheelchair Ramps, Suitcase Ramps items in The Ramp Shop store on eBay! Amazon shop: The Ramp Shop @ Amazon.co.uk: Royston Resources Ltd Company website: Royston Resources Ltd
  13. Seasoned wood works considerably better, dry does not necessarily matter as you burn from the inside of the log not the outside. It will take you less than 30 seconds to make one, if you cut the log from the side rather than the top down then you can use the noodles to light it. I have used fresh cut sitka, douglas, larch, leylandii, scots, sycamore, birch & ash to make them for my own use. All burnt fine but I only use seasoned wood & keep them dry after cutting the slots if they are being sold. Softwood burns faster works well for light/heat hardwood burns slower & is better for cooking on.
  14. Have you tried asking whoever you usually get your logs from? If one of my log customers asks for a chopping block I can nearly always find something suitable that can go out free with their next load of logs.
  15. Saw that done with a huge oak in a farmers field once. Bloke from the slate quarry came to do it. Plan was to split it in half so the danarm could get through it but it went slightly wrong, nothing left of it. He ended up with oak splinters of it in all his bales from that field & 3 surrounding fields for 5 years afterwards.
