Could you just buy some hitch cord and make it however long you want with fisherman's on the end instead of sewn eyes. Much cheaper also than sewn eyes. Personally zigzag is more or less perfect for moving rope, just tend to wear out and then you have another useless lump of metal sitting around.....

I have the arborist type a.....seem similar to other trousers I've had.....they are all hot basically! I did like the bear valley/sip trousers but they don't seem to make them anymore.

Imagine this will be an American ANSI device. Whether it makes it through a CE process is a whole different matter....in other words, don't hold out for it....

Thanks everyone. Makes sense to me arriving at yard leaving yard being the hours of work. But as ever always interesting to hear different people’s experiences over the years of work.

Was pondering this today.... If you are PAYE do you clock in/off on arrival to/leave the yard or when you arrive/leave job site? This would make quite a bit of difference in hours across a week/month/year? Being self employed on a day rate this is irrelevant! Thanks

Don't quote me, but I have heard that something along the lines of if feet are on the ground then it comes under Irata....

Anyone know if we can buy tickets on the door?

Thanks mate....that worked a treat! Put 5ml into the carb and 1ml down the plug for good measure and fired up straight away. Glad I have this trick in the toolbox 😀

Thanks for the info. Imagine we have calpol syringe somewhere for the kids. otherwise a teaspoons worth will do by the sound of it. Presumably you start with the throttle open?

I am wondering if I simulated a choke, by blocking off the air intake somehow, it might pull through some fuel?

Definitely got a spark so guess I'll put it back together and try some fuel down the bore then....fingers crossed.

So pulled it apart today. Hoses look good and bulb looks good but no fuel coming through. Wick soaked up a little bit of fuel I put on perfectly well. I remembered that last time I used it I thought it would be a while before using so ran it dry for storage. Perhaps this is the cause of the issue as carb is empty of fuel. What do you think? Is there a way to get some fuel into the carb? thanks

Thanks. I can run through your suggestions. Moving over to a manual choke sounds interesting. It is quite a faff the primer setup. Presumably that would involve a new carb? and yes the filter is definitely due a replacement 😆 but not I think the problem with starting the saw.

For some reason my 3120 won’t start. It’s a 1989 model. Normally you pump the primer to get fuel to carb as it doesn’t have a choke. was working last time I used it a year ago but can’t get it to pump the fuel through. Could it be an air lock? Wondering if there is a way to get it to fire and pull fuel through ? any thoughts very welcome. cheers
