You have any measurements on it sir and also an idea for price?
-
Any shots of it sir?
-
Thanks for that. Now to figure out how to build myself one
-
Scoured the chipbox thread but after some shots of your toolbox setups. Hoping to get a cab star and need to sort a toolbox ASAP.

Love my 540 but mainly use my 150, a lot lighter than the husky and if your learning you may find it easier with a light saw. 150 will cut full bar in most stuff

How to crosscut limbs longer than bar length.
TheHungrySquirrel replied to Paddler's topic in Chainsaws
J cut is the best way. Start the cut on the opposite side of the log with the saw vertical and cut in as much as possible then start from the top of the log and finish the cut Or cut from both sides, a 14" bar should let you cut a 30" log -
Added scarf to throw the butt that little bit more?
-
Thanks dude.

After a measurement from people with alloy/tipper backs on 4x4s please. Need the measurement from top of tyre to underside of body. Trying to build a dropside body but getting my head round this measurement
-
Top ring is free spud. Had the pot off after the stop incident and all was fine. Put together and seems to have bags of compression.
-
Cheers for that advice spud. I'll have a play with it tomorrow. The issue is starting it once hot, used it to stump some beech trees the other day made like 4 cuts then turned it off and couldn't start it all day.

Yep it had popped into the exhaust outlet. Was trying to change the sprocket and it was a stihl piston stop that I have had a similar problem with on another saw. Just my arms and a bar spanner to undo it so nothing to aggressive. No visible damage to rings or piston. Update: I took it to my local dealer who had it for a week and then told me it was just flooded but handed me a £40 bill for new plug, fuel and labour. It hasn't cured the problem though and now there demanding payment. Surely should be covered under warranty as saws less than a year old and has about 2-3 hours run time total.

Which tyres for pickup in "Steep Muddy forest/wood tracks?
TheHungrySquirrel replied to cessna's topic in Large equipment
Been using insa Dakar, Done like 25k miles on them. Great in the woods but when it's real wet your gunna slide whatever younhave -
What's the price bud? Could get the courier to collect that saw and other handle at same time?
-
And you didn't stab yourself?
-
Let your dealer do it. The 550/560 springs are violent, I spent a few hours once trying and gave up.
-
Still got a 560 handle sir?
-
After opening a 150 exhaust is it just a carb fiddle? Something even I could manage
-
It was the black plastic stihl one, broke one in my 150 a few days before this happened but managed to get it out. On the 3120 it snapped and popped out the exhaust port and caught the front lip of the piston making a little burr. It was above the rings and had done no damage to pot, I got the pot off and removed the burr, reassembled and now it's doing this. Local dealer seems to keep saying it was flooding. Would I be able to see the fracture atop the piston or micro size??
-
As above I got a 160 just before xmas and it's awesome. Easily handles what I need it to, light enough to push around alone but will take full capacity no problems.
-
I'm blaming it all on that moody piston stop
-
But surely this should be setup fine or an easy fix for a dealer if that's all it is?
-
Ah I see. Have tried it all which ways I can think of. Even had a few buddy's try using it and they say the same about starting it. Guess it's back into the dealer again tomorrow with it

Fast idle? Only has a choke no auto tune on it
