  1. Our pcb had rattled lose in the control box (if I remember rightly) showing similar symptoms. Ours used to drop right down to idle and pick up again but only cut out completely a few times.

    Jokes???

    Have you heard about the man who invented the corduroy pillow? he is making headlines!
  3. Same old story, the job goes wrong as soon as someone else is involved!
  4. Location location location! It’s everything! I bet she isn’t on my Little Rock tho, always the way 🤔
  5. How much is the equivalent new now? I always reckon about half new value in good Nick is a good starting point. I would guess it’s modern counterpart would be the Lucas mill but can’t help on what they cost now either.
  6. You won’t get pulled with that load, plod will assume your nomadic 🤣

    Bank mowers ?

    Generally speaking the driver runs out of balls before the machine does. Awesome machines.
  8. Post some pictures up, someone will probably know what it’s worth. I will start the bidding at 50p and a curlywurly 🤣 I could come up slightly but we are currently working blind 🧐
  9. More years left in that than most would believe. Prune every second or third (I believe in little and often so I would do it most years) winter to stop it getting to big for its strength and it will go on longer than most of us. Edit: also seems to be no targets so why worry if it does fail? @RobG 86What was you opinion?
  10. Scratch the bark on a small branch or 2 with your thumb nail, if it’s green under the bark it’s still alive, if it’s brown and dry it’s dead.
  11. We use these guys, good stuff and sensible price Chainsaw Oil - Rye Oil Limited WWW.RYEOIL.CO.UK Chainsaw oil for lubrication of chainsaw bars, chains and wheels, where a high level of adhesion is...
  12. Once again I’m looking for the puking man thingy 🤮
  13. Regardless of warrantee it has to be as it was advertised and “fit for purpose” if it’s not fit for purpose tell them so in writing. I believe they have to option of fixing it, swoping the machine for a different one or refunding you. If they refuse it’s a trading standards matter in my mind. Another option could be that you have it repaired locally at a reputable dealer and they foot the bill but this kind of deal needs to be agrees before you have the work done. The important bit is legally an item must be “fit for purpose “ and last a reasonable length of time.
  14. What’s the other side of the fence? I’ve seen similar caused by a roadworks gang renewing a pavement.
  15. Sounds like good progress. I believe keeping a positive mental attitude makes a huge difference to how you heal, your posts always come across positive, good luck with the next stage of your recovery

    I got 0, does that make me old or just retro?
  17. Flat pack it, it will be fine. Unfortunately it will be bloody spikey to stop it being eaten again!
  18. If you haven’t got a gauge for the rakers file 1 stroke off them to about 10 or 12 file strokes on the teeth. if it’s grabby you have taken to much off if you have fine dusty saw dust they need more off.
  19. This should solve it: 1 remove dpf filter 2 hammer a bit of re bar through it multiple times until the guts fall out 3 re fit dpf 4 drive (said in jest I’m no dpf expert and eggcept no liability 😂)
  20. I’ve no idea what chain comes on a Bosch saw but from experience I think the Oregon chains don’t last as long between sharpening as a Stihl or husky chain. Some may say it’s just my imagination but when we tried different chains I was definitely sharpening and changing the Oregon ones more often. Note down the chain sizes and try a different make next time you need a chain. @Rob D at Chainsawbars.co.uk would be a good place to start on line or your local Stihl/husky dealer. also try splitting your wood green a lot of timber splits easier green and it will dry quicker as it has a bigger surface area once split.
  21. We learnt this when my wife’s brain tumour was discovered, we were told it makes tumours grow 4x quicker!
  22. My method in my previous post breaks through the internal nodal bits (we call them knees) and allows the chemical to travel. I would guess injection would need to be below the lowest knee.
  23. Has the throttle lever come slack so doesn’t stay on full revs in effect making the no stress kick in before you start? also check the light (red or green from memory) on the solenoid comes on when you push the feed direction buttons
