    One for the hive mind ive been given an old power pruner to try and get going again its got a teikei carb with 8n1 90 stamped on it that has the wrong intake configuration a bit of research turns up that it should have a zama c1u k16 carb thats been discontinued. Can anyone advise of a suitable aftermarket carb or is it just pot luck.

    Hard standing tip site for logs and clean chip. Room for trailers to be parked while tipping Log drop and chip drop are in Seperate areas we are a retired couple and not able to separate the logs from the chip after its been tipped. Please call ahead so we can open the gate. Happy to trade eggs/honey or possibly cakes for logs cut to size ready for splitting 😁 but we can process them if thats not possible. Look forward to hearing from you. Chris
  5. Afternoon all i had a new body made by a local welder turns out the zink tek plate he used ( chough chough) is just normal mild steel and is rusting like hell anyone know of a way to treat the steel to stop it or do i just grind it and red oxide it? Its got so bad the chip on the bottom just sticks like the proverbial to a blanket. Many thanks.

    261/261c

    Evening all I've been handed 3 261 and a 261c from work the 261c is the newest so thats the one im working on atm. When fired it starts and runs like a bag of nails sounds like its 4 stroking and it will not rev when i press the throttle it just bogs but keeps running crap. out of interest i swapped the pot, piston, carb and ignition module of one of the 261 to see what it would do. Exactly the same problem. Any ideas the saws were free so not overly fussed if its a dead duck but interested to see if i can get any of them going.
  13. Yep gone all round it with ecc and air no difference think it must be a dodge connector in the chainbrake somewhere
  14. Nope they all work fully charged bloody stupid machines
  15. Nope no difference with the break on or off
  16. Morning all I've been handed the electric top handle this morning it appears the service light is on and the saw has stopped running is it possible to reset the machine or is it a dealer only thing? All the best tom
  17. Is that the ignition module?
  18. Morning all I've been asked to look at a friend's 201tc that's playing silly buggers. Took it out for a trial last week and it cuts fine on small to medium branches 1-4 inches but as soon as you try to use the dogs teeth to roll it into a cut it cuts out, it does the same if you push on the handle while cutting. I'm thinking its an earth fault as the saw dies so quickly. Just wondering if anyone else had experienced the same of had any other ideas before I start out stripping the saw down.
  19. Hi arbourmonkey are you looking to sell her?
  20. Hi guys. Ive had to send my old arb truck to van heaven and been lured into buying an ldv, as im sure you can imagine its gonna need some work doing! Does anyone know a good fabricator in the Shropshire area that would be able to help me cut the bed down and fit a chassis mounted tool box plus the usual rot repair lol. Regatds tom
  21. Hi guys im having some greif with starting my saw it takes ages to start running up and down the choke it runs great when I get it started and starts fine from warm but will take 30 to 40 pulls to get it started from cold I know its only a domestic but its a great chipper saw. Any ideas
