Yeah I didn’t even think it was an o ring initially thought it was a square sided gasket when dealer gave me a standard o ring I was confused! But it fits! The old one had lost its shape completely 66p for the fix!
-
Replaced the catcher when I got it and brake works well it idles with no chain movement now, the carb adjusters seem hard to access? Are they that weird torx not torx fitting? To adjust? I’m sure I bought the tool when I got the saw and ordered the chain catcher probaly put it with the valve gauge for the km90 🤦♂️ No idea where that went 🤷♂️
-
So not used saw for a while but a friend has moved house to an over grown garden and Ioffered to help clear it out for them. got the saw out and it started but wouldn’t idle and when revved up something was spraying onto my right hand (throttle) seem to be coming in a fine mist from the fuel cap and between tank and handle. called into stihl dealer picked up a new o ring for fuel tank and while i was there a gallon of motomix and a some bar oil. ran it up tonight emptied the tank and refilled with moto mix fitted the o ring and now running good, hunts a little on idle, haven’t cut anything yet but seems to run sweet can it really be that simple 🤷♂️

Yanks have been running E10 for years, they even run E85…… it has issues in long term storage but they are still moving and plenty additives on the shelf…..
-
Well turns out it was “tweaked” for the minimum charge and bow runs like a champ so all sorted for under £30 just annoying…
-
Carbs was fettled seems better not been used in anger yet
-
Always viewed those with plenty of suspicion/cynicism do they really work?
-
Thanks I left it with the old man to sort of they can’t sort it I’ll get it off him and strip it myself I did the valve check when I bought it it (it’s a well used older model) and it’s been running great for over a year a bit circumstances have meant I’ve not been back to see my folks so often the last 18 months or so 🙈🙈🙈
-
Hmmmmm hence I asked here
-
Thing is he has been using it more than the 56 both fuelled from same can of mixture stihl green super oil and unleaded the 56 running like a champ 90 dead as a, well dead thing, hence me thinking ignition or electrical but the man in the stihl dealer he say no 🤷♂️
-
So too update the old man took it in to be looked at this morning it ran briefly then died after tweaking the carb but would die each time, suggested carb at fault. Has left it with them 😒
-
Nope checked that and it’s fine
-
So a couple of years ago I bought a km90 power head (already had a km56) and it’s been great until last week and now won’t start it coughed once after numerous attempts to start? Valve adjustment ? Seemed more electrical ? I didn’t have time to look at it as needed to crack on cutting so did it with km56. It had been in fairly regular use over last few months had fuel plug looked ok seemed to have compression turned over smooth
-
Well it’s done scarified, over seeded, top dressed and watered 🤞
-
Got some sand and topsoil dressing locally 🤞 going to spread some then seed then a little on top to protect seed from birds 🤞(suggestion of the supplier)
-
Judging by the salt I see I would say sea... will try and find some not sea sand
-
Thanks sand then over seed or seed then sand? Lawn isn’t large by any stretch any sharp sand (builders sand?) here a lot is dredged sand is that alright for a lawn?
-
Lawn looking pretty awful so think it’s time to add some grass actually it needs a lot more work like ripping out and starting again.... my thinking is to get a big bag of top soil rake it over to help level it out and over seed. Sprogs & Dogs - Hardwearing Grass Seed - Lawn UK LAWNUK.COM One of the toughest grass seed mixtures on the market! Fast to establish, and easy to maintain, Sprogs & Dogs seed is available in 1kg intervals. looks good but then it would wouldn’t it..... any one used it or something similar garden is quite shaded and can be wet......dog (bitch) has done plenty of damage with pee, high traffic, and scratching 🙈🙈🙈
-
Hailo or Zargees for combination ladders been to the top of both.....for a straight triple lyte are good
-
Rare in domestic the 3A and 5A version are about, 15A is used a lot in theatre and tv studios mostly LED now A lot were rewired for 16A commando outlets but still loads out here in older theatres and schools/college or were a few years ago
-
The round pin 15A plugs still used in theatrical lighting bars perfectly legal led have over taken the fitting market but a lot of the infrastructure is still on these some big patch panels using them !

Randomly saw some of these possibly on eBay the other day? Or was that just a collection of parts the dealer had put together themselves. Service Kit for Stihl MS170, MS180 Chainsaws WWW.LSENGINEERS.CO.UK Service Kit With Genuine Stihl Filters Suitable or 2-Stroke Chainsaws. *Not Suitable for 2-MIX Chainsaws* Kit Includes: Air Filter - 1130 124 0800 Fuel Filter - 0000 350 3506 Spark Plug... wonder how many people will actually change the fuel pickup filter? Wipe the plug blow out the air filter and crack on......... 🤷♂️

Project Malbec 👍 and home made lasagne 👌

Thought I would update this with some pics for future reference of the chain catcher fitted for anyone else looking for one

Interest to what you think once used in anger
