I’m about to remove a quite large fallen pear tree. Is it worth keeping trunk sections larger in the hope someone will have them

Can anybody show difference between lean sweep and dogleg tar

Any body do splicing in Brum area

Had to chop off one end of my tachyon to thread it through my zig zag as the splice end wouldn’t go through. All fine but recently nicked my rope so had to cut off the other splice end. Thought OK I’ll use a knot but hate it. Is there a rope with splice on both ends that will go through a zig zag. Hope I’ve explained properly

Thanks Still can’t find it. I’ve e mailed ArbPro in Italy. See what comes back. No label it’s going back to the shop. Only bought the thing to be LOLER compliant lol

OK so if I get a new one how does the current 540 compare to a 201

Thanks for all the suggestions. To be clear the spill did not occur during re fueling. The cap has a habit of not being secure at times even when it looks closed. My fault for forgetting to double check EVERY time

Hi Just bought a new harness (see above) Got it home and looked for the attached unique reference no, but could not find. Phoned the dealer who went to find the location of the label. He could only find a small tab at the end of the bridge. I have a feeling this may apply just to the bridge part. My understanding is that there should be a label showing year of manufacture etc in order for it to be LOLER compliant. Does anybody know where the label is and/or can someone confirm what is required for LOLER

Looks like it might be a new one lol No way I can take it totally to bits and get it back together…would end up putting a hammer through it lol When it was working it would idle fine but after a short time of working fine it would stop or not re start or start and die. Maybe I should try and download a workshop manual and give it a go if I’m gonna park it anyway. Adw not sure where you are but don’t mind paying if you can sort. Let me know if your interested

No diagnostic breakdown must have discarded There was at least one occasion with no invoice (maybe 2) as they got it going no charge as it kept happening There was a piston ring replaced in July 2020 as shown. It really does have LIGHT use E.G. No tree work at all from end May 2022 till Dec 22. It packed up and I took it in just before xmas

I've had this 540 since 2014 but it has had very light use Last year had problem with not starting or starting up but only running for a few seconds Took it to Buxtons were it was bought from. New carb kit etc etc and re set auto tune I think Anyway the problem kept happening so kept taking it back. Next time I used it, it ran for ten mins/half hour then happened again. Looked online to find that the impulse pipe might be coming off. Took it back and asked them to put on a new one, which they did, but problem keeps happening. They seem to be out of ideas. When its running its as fierce as ever and although I have a Stihl 150 I still need a bigger topper for bigger stuff Not sure if I have to chuck it and replace but seems an awful shame. Any chainsaw gurus advise please Cheers

My T150 is great but the oil cap can twist internally and you think its secure and its not. All the oil can come out before you know it usually all over a front drive or patio Anyone know the best way to clean of these stains..??? Thanks

Limes ok but planes rock hard and prone to snapping ? Hinges on limes pulled fibres but planes snapped off on a horizontal. Also big branch split when cutting. Thinking maybe high water content was frozen snd saw didn’t go through fast enough Plane wood seemed much denser. Also it was Tuesday to Friday

Just finished felling some big trees in the sub zero temps…limes and London planes. Wondering if there is a source of info on what to be aware of when working on different species.

Yes I believe there is. Would make sense for the custom clutch cover to not have a slot. There has to be NO oil in the saw when using with the grinder attachment. I'll ring Predator tomoz and check with their tech guys. Many Thanks Spud
