Anyone got one of these ?😊

I could be wrong, but I recon they'll be fine, a quick search has a average saw running at 350F or 180C These would be an option with a smooth outer surface rather than ribbed, and you've only got to buy 2.

Hi, I concur with all that's already been said but I'd like to add that I've used a 012 as my firewood saw for 30ish years and in the last few of these years I've been nursing it quite a bit due to similar issues to you. I don't believe that there's much difference between the two saws except 4cc's and that your 011 may have contact breakers rather than electronic ignition. about 30 years ago when I bought mine S/H I kind of went through the whole saw apart from splitting the crank which at the time had a little up and down play in the crank as this type of roller bearing has and would have even if replaced..as I've found in other engines... a few thou, but not excessive. As already mentioned stripping the cases is a bit of a faff, but not terrible, although I'd probably want to replace the bearings of a 45 year old saw along with the seals... but on the other hand if it's done no work, you might get away with it. Which seal is it that you can't find? I'm potentially looking at the same job as you and there is the larger 21mm OD seal on ebay from China, I can only find the 19mm OD seal at 3.5mm wide rather than 4... I can't see why that wouldn't work .... Although******!!!?? If you have it wanting to start, which is like mine on cold days, as it is the winter... leave it somewhere warm for a couple of days which may soften hard old seals, take off the tiny air filter cover and squirt a teaspoon of mixture right on top of the reed, it'll be like it's flooded for a couple of pulls and then give you a few seconds of life... repeat several times and you may get life.. Bearing in mind that your carb may be well out of adjustment. so a starting point of 1 1/2 to 2 turns out on L & H may be a good starting point, Anyway , once you get it to run and get it tuned, if like mine. your problems may evaporate and you'll just need to repeat the process after next winter.. IMO these are great wee un-burstable saws that pull well above their weight because of the reed valve, their noisy they and sing as they rev right out.. old school .. just like me. good luck.

So quite a small area,... so what about a fake thatch made with hundreds of drinking straws that could be glued in situ with a tiny amount of spray contact adhesive as you go, and a quick rattle can paint job could make it look like the colour of a thatched roof.👍

You're right with the Jobu.. this is a decent explanation.

It has had and has dozens of industrial uses since the 1800's, it's also one of the micro-nutrients essential to all life. It's been restricted in this country since Brexit and is banned in many countries since the 1960's due to being discovered to be also natural treatment for arthritis and inflammation... I sense eyes rolling.. Until recently I bought it on ebay it was very cheap and went a long way. the last lot I bought was from RYE oils I think. Although restricted there must exceptions due to all the industrial uses including treating timber. Borax is a near pure common salt mined from dried lake beds [ Sodium Borate Decahydrate ] not to confused with Boric acid which can be bought on ebay. I put a link to an interesting article on ' our broken bodies ' thread quite a while ago, but I doubt if many read it. Luckily some folk haven't heard of it's restriction.. This would mix with 5 Gallons of hot water and last you a good while.

Yeah, I wouldn't put too much store in the scare tactics, warnings and BS on this subject that is prevalent online in google pages. Amygdalin has been identified in over 1200 common and often viewed ' healthy ' foodstuffs such as nuts, seeds, grains, fruits, berries, herbs and veggies, Sea Buckthorn being in that group. One of the strongest sources being bitter Apricot kernels which I've included in my diet for more than 10 years with only positive results. I would normally provide a useful link but it seems that most of what I'd previously read on the subject has been removed due to censorship... but it won't take much of a search to discover just what that subject is.

Ime this is what you want in any base fruit or seed, it's very often the fingerprint of a substance called Amygdalin which is found in many seeds and berries that haven't been bred / cultivated to suit today's sweet tastes, this substance has been vilified for decades in order to prevent folk from consuming it. When I process wild berries I usually blitz them in order to release the contents of the seeds into the brew.. ' an apple a day ' and all that, as long as you eat the seeds... If you can get through the first few pages of google misinformation and warnings there's a lot to be learned on this subject, cheers.

Aye, a lot better than red Hermatite stuffed into every thread😉 For anyone using Hylomar celly thinners is the solvent 👍

Just to say that Dirko red acetic silicone dissolves in petrol like most other silicone sealers and therefore is not suitable for 2 stroke engine crankcase joints or any carb applications etc.. you will end up with an air leak.. sooner or later.👎 This however has been my go to gasket sealant for decades, originally developed by Rolls Royce.

Yep, I totally agree with that.. they were allowed into the food chain in 1981 when Donald Rumsfeld nobbled the panel of scientists that had repeatedly refused to sanction their use due to the fact that they made holes in the brain tissue of the rats they were tested on. Intellectual impairment is now cited as one of the main side effects of this poison along with obesity. Unfortunately I think that it's humanity that's paying for it, cheers.

I'll add another tip, for this small scale blast cleaning I have a ton bag suspended and rigged open from above which acts as a 'cabinet' and catches nearly all the blasting medium which can then be easily sieved and recycled 👍

Replace the item with the unsprung equivalent part off the earlier model and it's sorted, I can't remember the part number but I fixed mine a few years ago, it's a straight swop out and the problem's sorted👍
