  1. After new carb, plug, filters.......and much swearing, it turns out it was the coil. Triggers broom at this point.
  2. Hi, yep and tried running it without, no difference.
  3. My faithful 420 is now a non starter, for a while it would start and idle but stall unless given an age to warm up. No it doesnt start at all, Ive taken the carb apart and cleaned everything, changed the plug, and tank filter. It will cough and run for a second when fuel is supplied directly. Therefore Im thinking to change the carb, however everywhere that sells the OEM part is either out of stock or eye wateringly expensive, are there any generic models that will fit? Walbro WTE-6B or ZAMA DM23B. The carb has 3 hose attachements.
  4. This thread smells faintly of cabbage, lavender and urine. Anyone for a werthers original?
  5. looking at the results it seems like after your 40's, you become grateful for just getting away from the wife
  6. Ladders are a god send to get above bendy sections, Ivy, flaky bark, for generally fat climbers and many other problems.
  7. Why dont more manufacturers offer winches from the factory?
  8. I'd say for milling that equal tooth length is vital to milling, but for cross cutting its overstated. Ive 60cm bars where one side is down to the last sharpen and the other is only half way through its life. They cut as well as any of my colleagues who are positively fastidious about sharpening.
  9. getting your beef up by 22% is a much as you can hope for at your age.
  10. Get the bags from safety lifting gear. blue waterproof, drawstring. Cheap too
  11. Ive got the ACE style 1.6t too, cant see any really difference to the original
  12. Bit of a revival, How much wood could one man reasonably expect to fell, split, load and stack in a day, by hand. At the minute I'm in alder and sycamore around 12 inch Dbh, few branches. But I also process arb waste mainly for my own use. I'm guessing 3 stacked cube a day?
  13. Seen them done in brest with a cherry picker and slasher/Bill hook
