Hi, led lenser rechargable H7r.2 for me.
-
That would do the job!!

Hi again, I have done it successfully the way that Spud suggests except I would also fix a piece of 1/2" plastic pipe onto a hoover with some tape and put it in the cylinder through the exhaust and get as much of the cuttings out that way before they have a chance to land. Alloy cuttings are one thing, the tang off the helicoil is another and is better removed from the top with long nose pliers rather than snapping it off with the insertion tool, you need to know where it`s gone!!! all the best.

Hi, it`s not much work to strip it at which time you can check for other problems, I wouldn`t imagine that the stripped thread is a symptom of anything else, more than likely careless workmanship and although I have repaired many in situ, mostly 4 strokes it`s prob not worth the risk, imo, cheers:001_smile:

Yep, that`s why I suggested LED`s as the lower the power drain, the lower the charging demands. Personally I sometimes work in a similar situation, I just use a gennie which I put a kingspan lined box over cause the noise bugs me, cheap n easy and I can run power tools. cheers

Hi, I think that LED lamps off a good car battery being trickle charged by either a small 12v wind mill or a solar panel or both could be the way to go. I recently fitted some LED bulkhead type lamps in a similar shed, they were only 7 watts and really quite bright although the light is kind of `sterile`. There`s loads of different LED stuff available now and it draws so little power that it shouldn`t take much to keep the battery charged. Hope this helps, cheers

hi, I got my mill about a year ago and am very pleased with the Granberg chain, as agg said you need a grinder or a diamond file to keep it sharp, I can recommend the Granberg precision grinder, very accurate and saves a lot of time, great tool. cheers

Estimated amount of time spent reading Arbtalk.?

Burnt my dinner again !!!! Oh well -
Hi, if you google it you can download it as a pdf, cheers

Hi, would it not be simple to cut away the protruding bit of the slab, a diamond disc on a grinder should eat concrete, assuming you can get access, crosshatch it and chip it off with a chisel, give it a skim of render if it`s got to look good, that`s got to be the cheapest option. cheers
-
Yep, it`s different every time, some amazing skies,specially dawn n dusk, which are far too close together at the mo!!
-
classic, very nice, reminds me of my BSA A65 lightning. cheers
-
saves u a lot of picking up,liked it as soon as i saw it, just don`t miss.
-
Your not wrong, april-may, easterly, pre-midgie, cheers
-
hi, if it fits on properly and it`s just a difference in height and slightly less capacity then I`m sure it will be fine, I`ve had this before when buying filters, but don`t shoot me if I`m wrong
-
Should be in "rate my hinge" thread. Out of interest, are you near to one of the reintroduction sites ?
-
Yeah, you need to break the breeding cycle. Once you`ve got the dog clean, I`ve used flee powder for that with success, Bob Martin I think, you need to treat your house with a spray, carpets, soft furnishings, dogs bed, etc with a rigorous regime over a few weeks to get all the eggs as they hatch, fleas like it when the heating goes on !! good luck
-
Yeah, although I`ve always been keen on learning the correct way to keep any tool I`m using sharp and fit for purpose, it`s only since I got a Granberg precision grinder that I`ve been able to take a more technical , accurate approach to saw chain, what a tool, cheers
-
Hi, it seems to me that assuming that you`ve tuned the saw engine to run at it`s optimum and you can rely on it to perform the same each time that you use it, then it becomes a good test bed for experimenting with the sharp end, after all, a drill for example, needs different angles and cutting speeds for different materials, so a chain is the same. If your chain is real sharp, at your chosen angle, then if you take the depth gauges down in small increments, till it starts to bog down, you`ll soon get a feel for just how much you can expect of the saw. It`s called tuning, but nothing to do with the carb !!

Hi, I`ve been using pure tung oil mixed with turps,mostly outside, for some time now and it can take an age to dry, sometimes remaining slightly tacky for months, so I`ve been experimenting with metallic paint driers with some success. These driers contain Terebene and were traditionally used to speed up the drying time of old style oil paints, specially when they`ve been sitting about in the tin for a while. I`ve used both Blackfriars and Rustins which are easily available, might be worth a try, cheers.

Interesting, on a recent long trip I switched to esso diesel from my usual Morrisons for the same reasons and was surprised to get more than 10 mpg less!! Although I`ve never had fuel problems with my saws etc. I have recently been using fuel stablizer in all my small engines in response to all the concerns that people have been voicing. better safe............

Hi, a lovely little puller, is that the Stihl one, it looks like just the job, cheers.
-
hi, agree with all that`s been said and would only add that I find that it`s best to have two pairs as I find it makes it easier, either when lifting in front of you onto a sawhorse or dragging/walking, one bit each side is better on the back. Mine are Stihl 20cm. cheers

It`s what cordless saws were made for !!!
