Thought it would be more likely to be tumble dryers, fluff and heating elements burn well. It as certainly one of the biggest causes on the commercial industrial sites I worked on.

Hehehe, I know😀

The down side from what I can understand is that it opens the door for the energy companies to bring in more and more hourly variable tariffs, so say in the future you come in from work at 6, switch on your oven for dinner and plug in your electric van for a charge, you are now using say 18kW of energy along with many other people, energy company starts to struggle to meet demand and so increase the tariff for the next 3 hours to a £1 a unit and then at 3 in the morning the bring it down to 10p a unit. Pure speculation by me of course.

Thanks gents, I will make that my next check, I am just in from a session with it. I ringed up two or three pieces of timber with it, after each ring I stopped and started it no probs. I then went and got my splitting maul, split and stacked, so 10 or 15 minutes elapsed, tried to restart no joy. Took plug out reconnected and earthed it, pulled it over no spark. Can’t see any damage to kill wire. Worth trying a clone eBay coil?

Thanks gents, unusual carb to me as I can’t see a metering arm to bend, all that appears to be in it is a couple of diaphragms, a choke flap and a throttle flap. Edit, just used the oracle we call google and think I know what you mean now. Don't like the sound of lean seize. Hope it’s not that.

My trusty first chainsaw that I owned started playing up. I use this saw for mostly rhododendron bashing. Use if most weeks and was using this week and it developed the fault of not restarting once warm. Did the usual, checked the fuel pick up filter, air filter, changed the plug, the fuel is fresh and it has not had stale fuel sitting in it. Tried it still the same fault. So I stripped carb out looked clean, made a new gasket for carb to cylinder, checked H and L in then out 1 turn, checked the spark looked weak, so I changed plug again and checked and reset ignition coil gap. Spark still looks weak. Tried it again, started a little better but is bogging down if I press the throttle too quick. Two questions: Have I missed anything? Are the clone coil and carb combined kits any good from eBay, as they are cheapish at £25, worth buying to try? cheers gents

Didn’t realise Rowan bark was as red/ purple as that.

I have the Makita EA6100P, fab saw, use it for what you are describing in your opening post. Bought it 3 or 4 years ago after asking on here for recommendations and not regretted it.
-
Walk past this tree a lot and it confuses me, to my limited knowledge the bark looks like a cherry but the leaf of an ash. So what is it? Thanks for looking.

Anyone know how to talk through the x com r without making a phone call
roys replied to chico's topic in General chat
Never a day goes by without me thinking about how to talk through x com r. on the other hand I have nae idea either. -
I see what looks like a Makita and a Dewalt with no batteries attached.

Good result Mark, it’s a good feeling feeling when you get new breath back into these machines and they start doing a job again. I have just brought a old Startrite bench drill and a Strartrite bandsaw back to life although I need to get some blades for the bandsaw.

I’m impressed, I struggle to draw stick men no matter carve faces and figures into wood.

Every day a school day, I had to look up litotes meaning, suppose it’s because I was only a sparky in a past life.😀

While nailing the fly😀

Suppose you could go onto a forum and state how many flies you can kill by knife throwing. Now that would be impressive.😀

Been watching red squirrels on my feeders all week, this morning the grey came along that my neighbour first reported back in April, only seen It fleetingly over the last few months. Had my BSA Ultra .22 handy, grey squirrel no more, I don’t take any pleasure in shooting anything that is not for the pot but I’m afraid it had to go in the name of vermin control and to aid the red survival.

Ahhh that will be it then, couldn’t work out what the boards were. i do something similar re date, my logs are stored in crates I have made out of pallets and on the right hand side of each crate I have a bit of white plastic which were off cuts from white fascia board, on that plastic I write the date which I filled the crate, like you so that it gets left a year and I use the oldest first.

Still doing my annual rhododendron bash with a few mates, just did three days of chainsawing the stuff with mates clearing and stacking behind me, found this interesting bit, no wonder it’s akward when it can grow in complete circles😀
-
Looks tidy as well, is the chopping board with the blue wire to tell you the stacked dates so you use them in the right order?
-
200 cm3, not much stock to sell there then?😀

Looks good to me, not like it is a pressure vessel or anything.

Cheeky bas****s I would have laughed at them as well,
