  1. Good shout about the stilsons, if you have some.
  2. Nice job, missing a bit off the air filter there aren't you?
  3. Not really, if they're being stubborn pigs I drop start them with the throttle on. That usually learns 'em Never used the decomp on the littler saws. I did have a starting issue from new on a 395, but once it started once, end of problem.
  4. Nonsense, new saws are great, better than ever.
  5. You are pumping the primer presumably?
  6. I have the same problem with flasks actually, no matter how much I spend the cap leaks. Anyway... There's a club if you'd like to go You could meet somebody who really loves you So you go and you stand on your own And you leave on your own And you go home, and you cry and you want to die...

  8. Get rid. You start to think that constantly fixing things is normal with those "vehicles" A sort of Stockholm Syndrome, with you as the brainwashed victim and the LR as the kidnapper.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome
  9. I've not noticed them dying off more than what would be considered normal. They pollard them here a lot, which does for them fairly quickly, so I don't think that counts.
  10. I often wonder what is going to happen to the Horse Chestnuts, they don't seem to be getting any worse, or better! My only hope is if they all decide to give it up and die its before I retire. Have anyone noticed a significant increase in mortality? Or are they still just losing leaf earlier as usual.

  14. Quite...or to put it another way, what the market will bear.
  15. *you're Are you rouge faced Stu?
  16. Understood, which is why I don't split wood for clients. I tell them to get some farmer to do it.
  17. Haha, even my wife laughed at that!
  18. Then I dunno. Transport, petrol, wear and tear etc. As much as you can. It's business.
  19. Do it on a daily rate (8hrs) at around £280 quid. Then pay someone a hundred quid a day and pocket the rest.
  20. Oh Gawd! Give us some details please, amount, splitter, length etc.
  21. This popped up on Twitter. Rod Liddle.
  22. Nasty, we're all only one step away from stuff like this. Speedy recovery. Can you still earn? In the office or on the blower?
