  1. Sorry mate it’s not. That goes under the foot not round the ankle.
  2. Finally got round to replacing the strap for those interested. Bought a Lyon sling of similar size. 30 mins on a sowing machine later...
  3. Decent undercut and then matching top cut. A 200t on a 12’ cut should keep up if keep sharp and full throttle. If long then do in two. Will help get your eye in and experience up anyway. Sometimes with the risk of getting saw stuck there is a tendency to pull saw out too early and then limb won’t fall nice and flat.
  4. Why can’t you use the bridge that’s on there?
  5. A quick carb clean usually makes all the difference. 10mins when you know how....
  6. Hi Spud Just for clarity do you mean some pressure to the vent from inside the oil tank or from the outside, under the chain buffer? Cheers
  7. Thanks a lot. I'll check it out.....can't quite see what else could be the problem....it draws oil but very slowly
  8. Wondering if the oil tank has a vent that could get clogged? Or does it rely on the pump pulling oil through?

    The breather may have snapped off entirely. It happens regularly ime
  10. Thanks for all the comments - good to learn some more about the 200
  11. Thanks. Inside looks fine but it’s getting replaced anyway....
  12. Thanks Spud. Sprocket shagged?! How much wear would you allow then...?
  13. Yeah I agree about the springs - doesn’t look like much life in them at all!
  14. Fair point [emoji106]
  15. The wear on the sprocket is visible (but minimal) but I suspect you would say to change?
  16. but what do you think of the drums...they look worn but not excessively so....
  17. Thanks for the info.... taking the clutch apart the springs are pretty close to the end....
  18. Have been putting some tlc into the 200 this weekend and was replacing the sprocket and had a close look at the clutch and it looks quite worn where the springs go through even though working fine....see pic attached Assume I should replace? Is there anything else I should have a look at seeing as I’m ordering parts? Thanks in advance
  19. May have to come to that...I’ve stitched up old slings with a standard sowing machine- just don’t go to hard on it but because of the webbing needles go through fine [emoji106]
  20. Seems a bit mad don’t it...you can get one under but not round...
