  2. a mate of mine has taken down a yew ,it is really a shame to log it as this will happen if its not bought, the pieces are trunk and branches from 3inch up to about 6 inch varying lengths the trunks are cut in half maybe a couple full ones . he would prefer local or collection i can email pictures and his number for a chat about it . thanks rob
  3. just a bit more praise for the customer service i received , i was in couple weeks back to buy a few bits and a new saw , boots, trousers , felling lever . the advice and knowledge was good and sound advice made me spend more than i was going to:biggrin: , i had a problem with the saw i took it back in a it was dealt with there and then in a professional manner . thanks again for the good service and advice rob

  14. thanks spudulike it seems that the clutch is not making proper contact with the drum as the revs still stay up and the chain stops , i will have a look at the clutch on me bench ( i seen the you tube video for clutch removal ) i think i will pay good attention to the starter cord piston stop reading the forum this could be an issue, but i dont think it will be tight as i had it in recently to have the main bearings done so could still be not too tight. thanks again for taking time to reply. rob
  15. hi ray yes revs fine cuts ok but when any pressure apllied stops the chain mid log ,like a car clutch on slipping noise and no go . that's what makes me think clutch wise but my saw mechanics is not that knowledgeable . thanks for replying rob
  16. thanks stubby and saw troll for replies it seems as tho when cutting it does not have the grunt to carry on through ,the log just stops the chain if any pressure is applied however much its revved , lift it slighty allowing the revs to carry on and chain spinning then carry on. is it worth checking on the fuel side , i know it has had new head and piston and i had work done on the main bearings so i was hoping all would be well, side by side my husky seems like it has more go . hope this helps to point and answer in my direction thanks again rob
  17. hello newbie here from county Durham looking forward to reading the forums learning as i go . my question is i have a ms260 i have just had the main bearing done and couple bits and peices , i used it for the first time the other day and under load (cutting ) it seems to stop not cut i have to back off then go in again if this makes sense , it seems like it has no guts to go ,i am after knowong is it possible the clutch/spring is worn not giving it guts or something else . thanks in advance of any help . rob i only own the two saws one is a husky 55 and now this stihl ms 260 i wanted to go to try the dark side at the mo i love my husky but i am open to persuasion/
