    After new carb, plug, filters.......and much swearing, it turns out it was the coil. Triggers broom at this point.

    Hi, yep and tried running it without, no difference.

    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.

    This thread smells faintly of cabbage, lavender and urine. Anyone for a werthers original?

    looking at the results it seems like after your 40's, you become grateful for just getting away from the wife

    Ladders are a god send to get above bendy sections, Ivy, flaky bark, for generally fat climbers and many other problems.

    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.

    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?

    I imagine air flow would be more important than heat

    Wow do you have a massive house or poor insulation? or like to sit around in your underwear!? We've a 4 bed stone house, and have yet to use more than 0.5m3 in a week, heating and hot water

    Every time you touch the log its effort. Split on the ground with a nice long handled axe, so that your toes are safe. If its easy splitting, no need to even turn the logs upright split them where they lay. Use the time saved to sharpen the axe at the end of the day.

    Start with the simple things they always say.... Bloody clutch spring had gone, chain brake off and off she roared....Farmers.... Very little smoke, not surprising considering how many hours i spent cleaning the system whilst not having the slightest inkling to take the chain brake off, live and learn. Thanks

    I can understand why people leave tree work behind, its overly romanticised. I've worked outside my whole career, but nothing is quite as miserable as swaying around at the top of a slimy sycamore in high winds and pissing rain, trying to slide branches down avoiding Mrs Miggins precious bloody hydrangeas.

    I think i read somewhere that 80% of people who qualify are out of industry within 5 years. Just passed the milestone myself (at 30) recently and can understand why.
