  1. Aye found that works a treat
  2. Check the fuel line elbow is ok , also had a few Stihl's with a vertical split up the fuel line ..
  3. One of my competitors has operated like this for over 10 years , makes it difficult as he charges 20% less when it suits !
  4. Dovre 500 multi fuel 8kw well used for the last 8 years with no issue ..
  5. Got a local hero here who "mods" most things into destruction , i hate getting kit in that he has worked on ..
  6. Original pulley is for an Efco 141sp
  7. That is the correct part number ,
  8. What is the part number of the new pulley you have ?
  9. Amazon online repair service , drone drops off mechanic and parts , Prime members only of course lol
  10. Exactly , what will happen in 10 years time when all the small repair shops are gone . will you post off your saw for an urgent repair or just buy a new one as it will be there next day ? as i said before the whole thing is going to implode
  11. A picture of the carnage might help ?
  12. Yes i know some dealers with there heads stuck in the sand ! i also know a couple of genuine small players who are struggling with the cost of keeping going , i would of thought a discount would be in order if your spending thousands with them !
  13. Some smaller dealers are now struggling due to the drop in sales , are they really robbing you or do they need to charge full whack to keep a roof over there heads ? just a thought .
  14. Yes a MS661 with 28 bar runs a 92 Drive links on 8 pin rather than the standard 91
  15. No they were over the phone , i did ask about warranty issues and was told "take it to the local dealer there problem" it will all implode one day when the local guy is out the game .

    Straightening a Bar

    Sorted a couple of bent Sugi bars, they are tough but they will straighten in a press if you take your time
  17. Plenty of Stihl chainsaws have landed here in Argyll from a large Stihl dealer in the South , not much regard for Stihl's over the counter policy !
  18. My first thought as well the 372 and 576 are guilty of that , cord frays and gets pulled into the flywheel..
  19. Atom B16 LED Beacon ECE-R65 Approved Emergency LED Lights
  20. If your set on a magnetic beacon check the speed rating , some low end ones will fall off at moderate speeds ..
  21. You would think Husqvarna would offer to check any Autotune saw for the Police , serial number is stored in the software !
  22. Depends on the operator and how the machine is cared for , i have witnessed a 30t Doosan turned to scrap in 12 months , most small machines are put to tasks well beyond there capability and hence the tend to suffer wear and tear at an alarming rate .
  23. Engine derv or petrol ? dual mass flywheel ?
