  1. I should have waited a week . I haven't been able to try it out jet James (a die hard Stihl man) won't let go of it
  2. I'll scag your tights . And funnily enough after my confession my chain needed replacing so I don't suffer with a semi anymore
  3. Summed it up rather well me thinks.
  4. I compared the 550 with the 261 cutting and the 550 just edged it. When it comes to snedding though the 550 is the clear winner.

    No you got it wrong. Failure to plan is a plan for failure. I let her forget to pack her perfume when we went on holiday a few weeks ago so she had to buy one in duty free. She tried to buy me some non chainsaw related product because she felt guilty which of course I rejected. So now she owes me a present

    Swinny i t was so cruel I wouldn't like others to suffer the way I did so it wouldn't be right to post any pics on here Ti Mrs R sadly has learnt so her cards are kept well away from me and she won't go to any Arb Dealers anymore but I hoping to get her into the APF. Wish me luck its gonna be a battle

    New toys

    I had to go to my local dealer this morning. I had my blinkers on and made my way straight to spares. On the way out I was accosted by my little mate working in sales . The new little echo topper and the new T540 are in. Both look the absolute mutts . The husky looked like its gone on a diet.
  8. Once it tries to fire disengage the choke by pushing the choke all the way down. Then pull again. Don't you the decompression button you don't need it. Run Ls oil in there. The older style oil doesn't suit the engine. Then as said find something that you have the full bar buried and run it flat out for the entire tank. That should sort it out.
  9. Silly question I know but how do you start it
  10. Agreed an England win is never easy to watch
  11. You may have hit the nail on the head there

    Fuel canister

    In my book 4 inches ain't a good run up
  13. I don't know what do you call a naughty banana
  14. They may pay £600 for a second hand ms170 but ebayers ain't daft enough to buy my semi chisels:D
  15. That who I buy one and get fifty for free:D
  16. I know I driving myself there now. Oh the shame I can't live with myself I hope they bring back hanging:lol:
  17. I have a confession to make I have a semi chisel on it. Oh the shame of it
  18. Hi Joe I think you nailed it. The other half of our motley crew called James is a stihl man and he can't start any of the huskies to save his life. He just stands there pulling the guts out of them. Gives up passes the saw to me and one pull and away. I haven't gone down your route Joe I've left it standard, I know yours is cutting more efficiently but I still getting a nice fast cut out of mine. But when the sprocket needs to be replaced I may have a tinker about with it then
  19. I'd love to know this summer thing with the 550. Hot or cold mine starts just fine . If the saw has cooled down a bit 2 squirts on the primer bulb and its away. I run mine on a 13 inch bar and I got to say its just a brilliant saw 2 years faultless running and its going in the box with me when I stuffle off this mortal coil
  20. Yes Stubby that was part and parcel of the old game. One of my old rugby teachers at school used to stay if the balls on the ground get your body around it and then the rest of the team stamp anyone out of the way. I asked him once if I'm on the floor protecting the ball ain't I gonna get a good pasting from my own players. His reply was yes you shouldn't be there
  21. Yep Stubby. And I bet you can't sharpen your studs while walking on the concrete path to get on the pitch. Ah the good old days
  22. I wonder if they will ban the half time orange in case a player gets a bit of orange juice in the eye. That could really sting:001_tongue:
  23. It was interesting to hear that after the Wales V England game there's been more sitings than the loch Ness monster! Ffs it's rugby. I know they are trying and so far succeeded in sterilising the game but how do they expect opposing props to address each other? How do you do its quite pleasant for the time of year? And Coles had a little pinky in his eye for constantly being off side. In my playing days the least you'd expect was to be raked half to death and that was playing in the under 11's
  24. Yep England deserved it (God that hurt). Hopefully next year Wales won't be silly enough to give such a big head start
