  1. Thanks for the advice all. Yes i've checked carb settings. I remember seeing the potential problems with the impulse hole when I was putting it back together.
  2. I got the hyway standard size ready for the modern decomp valve, which is now fitted. The old head was the piped type. I did the squirt trick already, that's what lead me to the clamp. I've used that previously on vehicle engines. The new clamp and partition wall will be arriving imminently.
  3. I've had chance to use the saw in anger now, it's not quite right. Doing a little bit of research shows that Husky replaced the plastic clamp on the inlet with at metal one. I think I'll perform the same change and see if it improves things.
  4. I've just finished day 1 of the second lantra occasional user course. Both have been very practical. http://www.lantra-awards.co.uk/Downloads/Training-and-Qualifications/Forest-and-Arboriculture-(duration-etc).aspx If you take a look at the second page. Those are the ones we are completing.
  5. 1. Was in the grounds of Stourhead, Wiltshire. 2. Was in Victoria Park, Bath. 3. Was in Biss Wood, Wiltshire.
  6. I'm no good at IDing here are some I've taken in the last few months....
  7. The new can was in the 2014 brochure but none listed in the 2015??
  8. Hilux double cab, goes almost anywhere. Fill it up with what ever you like and still take 5 people. This one's mine, love it. In the summer I'll also go topless.
  9. Thanks, I'm sure a sugi bar will be on the cards at somepoint but gotta replace PPE first.
  10. I'm gathering pictures to try and get things in order. Could the mods rename the thread to "Jubilee Wood Scout Campsite"
  11. Thanks it's a crown in case it wasn't obvious. I was given the task of taking someones drawing and laying out the markers in the muddy field. Really pleased with how it turned out. We have one of the Jubilee Oaks at the top of the diamond.
  12. Forgot to say, Tesgol/Sawbits/Mike, top service, top guy.
  13. My first and only attempt at turning. Made it for the missus for christmas on a friends lathe a couple of years ago.
  14. I'm an explorer leader too, send me a PM and I'll get everything together. This is it. I'm not particularly wordy more of the practical type. Hence why I've only just posted now. Been a lurking guest for a while. We have woodland on either side so tried to keep to what was here before. The Scots Pine are planted near the pond and are to encourage raptor nesting. As we are close to the Salisbury plain one of the things that is available on google earth is aerial photography from the war. Here is the 'field' in 1945.
  15. It wasn't hornbeam as the other main species it was hazel but we did swap out the ash. Yes there were grants available. We found them pretty helpful but I'm not sure how much is usual and how much is because we are Scouts. Winter/Spring 2012/13 Pendunculate Oak 1600 Hazel 1200 Hornbeam 450 Silver Birch 425 Wild Cherry 425 Rowan 225 Crab Apple 225 Hawthorn 625 Dogwood 250 Spindle 275 Guelder Rose 275 Sessile Oak 150 Dog Rose 100 Willow & Osier 50 ` Walnut 25 Beech 10 Fruit Trees 8 Scots Pine 3 Total 6200 Winter 2013 Oak 80 Rowan 100 Silver Birch 100 Field Maple 80 Willow 60 Hazel 50 Hazel 50 Downy birch 120 goat willow 105 osier 90 hawthorn 60 rowan 30 hazel 15 Spring 2014 Oak 200 Hawthorn 30 Rowan 90 Blackthorn 75 Silver Birch 75 ` Hazel 60 Oak 60 Total 1470
  16. Thanks for the advice. That's the one. I checked the guidebar and cross referenced on Oregons website. I've done the lantra training for CS30, and lantra training for CS31 in a couple of weeks. Not sure if I'll do the assessment at the moment.
  17. Yes a 14 acre field. Just checked here Area Calculator Using Maps It was ancient woodland till the 60's. Spoke to the woodland trust and foresty commision for guidance predominantly Oak and Hornbeam. it was going to be Oak and Ash but dieback arrived just as we were about to order. I'll dig out the exact numbers. But all native species apart from 3 pines.
  18. All the pipe work needed replacing. The little pipe on the inlet manifold was perforated. Carb settings were pretty lean. Cylinder was very scored pictures don't really show it. It's my first saw but an engine is an engine. Chain and sprocket have been hammered so treating it to new. Guidebar is in good condition.
  19. Take 1 14 acre field, a bunch of volunteers, ~8000 trees and two years of hard work What do you get..... Jubilee Wood, our new scout campsite in Wiltshire.
  20. Was donated a dead and in pieces 357xp. Stripped it down and things weren't good. Complete stripdown and rebuild. replaced piston and cylinder. Moment of truth today and brrmm brmmm. Well chuffed.
  21. Joined forum to say first order placed. Great website easy to understand for someone new to chainsaws.
