  1. Split it, burn it, don't worry about it
  2. How do you mod the needle spring and is it worth retro-fitting a new ignition unit?
  3. That's definitely what we would call a category A tree burning off
  4. Bought it this morning and have just put a tank of juice through it. Quite a nice saw to use. Good nick and seeing as that is the original bar on a 2006 saw just shows it has done very little work. The old chap that had it couldn't start it, so it just sat in his shed.
  5. As I know you wick, I have to say, you sound more Irish when you write than when you talk
  6. Blimey, it's like the tv ad, everything you touch turns to skittles Have you got a copy lathe?
  7. Of course, we will expect another "my new groundie" thread with pics Only kidding Good for you Rachel, you sound like you have a great work ethic and a good attitude to life. You will go far and achieve all you need.
  8. It will be my back up and logging saw. I keep the 550xp for the day job and don't like ragging it on the logs.
  9. Thanks guys, I know of a used one that has hardly had any use going for a good price, sounds like it's worth a punt then.

    ms390

    Anyone run an ms390? I know they are not a pro saw, but are they a good firewood saw?
  11. Not poking a snake with a stick by any chance
  12. Sold both these last year. Had the zx for 4/5 years and had gone through it and given it a light resto. Bought the fazer 1000 as a replacement, but sold it after 4 months because I didn't find it comfortable over long distance. Shame, because they are an awesome bike. Oh, and yes I do regret selling the zx. Just been offered a cagiva elephant 900 which might tempt me back in the saddle.
  13. Probably would have hot drinks in. I did wonder if an exterior yacht varnish would be any good, but would prefer a more natural finish.
  14. I'm wanting to turn a wooden mug/cup and was wondering if melted paraffin wax was the best thing to seal it with. Any ideas guys?
  15. Are you buying them as loops or made up for your specific bar and saw. If you buy a stihl loop, it will be for a stihl bar. These will be a link or so too long for a husky type bar.
  16. Be worth checking the clutch springs. Almost sounds like something is grabbing when the brake is on.
  17. loving this band at the moment. [ame] [/ame]

    The dress!

    Yeah, and who has just logged on to reply to a thread titled "The dress" Oh, and my ass ain't hairy, I wax it
  19. Bunch of whingers. They need to be dropped into a jungle and forgotten about.

    The dress!

    I saw it as white/gold, then went back for another look (it's a nice dress) and see it as blue/black. What's that all about??
  21. Having regrets are we, or just a little bitter??
  22. At the end of the game, pawn and king go back in the same box.
  23. You won't need a new worm drive, just a new sprocket. The 3/8 sprocket for the 560 fits straight on a 550xp for the same conversion.
