So it took quite a while for the aftermarket fuel line to arrive 🤨 finally got around to fitting it today before I forgot how it put it back together…… got it done it’s fiddly as and put a little fuel in and got engine to fire more easily than I expected (hoping that’s it sorted) will refit the bar etc and check operation another day after taking a spill on some ice last night I can’t see me using it for a while 😖

Genuine fuel line was £10.50 plus shipping so I decided to try a £4 eBay delivered special waiting for it to arrive 🤞it solves the running issue and the spraying issue if it does then I’ll look to sort the bar and chain out

I have a husqvarna R53 in need of reassembly in my own….as well as an ms250 in now more bits than it should be 🙈

Which is that part22 is what I need I think

Found a great video after I had dismantled most of the saw 🙈 L&S diagram is wrong for my saw but the video looks right fuel hose doesn’t show any cracks but I the the seal to the tank isn’t sealing while it’s apart and carb is off I’m going to give it a clean does it need new gaskets et to reassemble? guy in video bought a whole kit I wasn’t going to……. Filter looks newish and I have a new plug ready to fit just hope this solves the issues

One of the British national daily newspapers is asking readers "What it means to be British?". Some of the emails are hilarious but this one from a man in Switzerland "Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. He buys a holiday home in Spain, skis in France, fancies Swedish birds and has a Romanian au-pair. And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything foreign ". so isn’t being British about embracing things from elsewhere?

Amount you see on the road I can’t think of a more British car except perhaps the mini (bmw ones that is)

Had a look at L&S can’t see a spec for the fuel Line looks like 21/22 might be the issue hope it’s not 19 as that’s out of stock 🤦‍♂️

I’m thinking split fuel Line time to strip her down I recon 🥴 how much to put it back together if I post you a box of bits 🤪🤪🤪

Qashqais are built in Britain 🤷‍♂️

Where is the shed of shame? Sounds like my kind of place! what’s a not cheapo stihl? For occasional use 🤔

Hmm garden cleared but saw not running right 🤷‍♂️ runs fine on its side pull cord up but in normal. Cutting down like cutting up a log it stalls as soon as chain touched wood? also still spraying fuel onto my right hand from where between the top of tank and handle? 🤷‍♂️ It did what I needed to after a fashion…..but glad I wasn’t chopping firewood! what should I do? Not wanting to spend lots as I don’t use it much I use the pope saw on my combi more should I sell the MS250 and just buy a KM94? part of the reason for buying it was frustration at using a a husqvarna 235xp which as doing the same 🤔 BTW using Motomix recently purchased

Used saw with reasonably well used bar and chain I don’t know how much life left in then. Saw was used by a pro before I bought it and I think he had bought it used

Decided not too shame as a good deal will just order a new chain and hope bar lasts a little longer it doesn’t get much use

Bummer a 261 sprocket is £37 at l&s so makes it over £100 if it fitted and that’s more than a bar couple of chains… shame oh well Stihl Tuning Kit MS261 WWW.HISLTD.CO.UK Conversion kit for a faster cutting attachment (16 inch/40cm) for MS261 chainsaw. Ideal for harvesting pinewood...
