THIS ADVERT HAS EXPIRED!
- FOR SALE
- USED
Bought this dragon harness a couple of years ago but only wore it for the first time last week - turned out to be a little roomy for me as I'm a right skinny b*st*rd! Has been LOLERED and can send a picture of the inspection document if needed. In like new condition, just a wee bit dusty. Contact me at [email protected] or on 07891011836£120

I'm not sure about previous years, but this year the very cold wind we had in spring just as the the buds were opening (was it storm Hannah maybe?) hit the sycamores (and beech) really bad, lots of them haven't really recovered and have a thinner canopy with smaller, brown edged leaves.

I'm slightly confused at how 1kg of wood can produce 1.65kg of carbon dioxide, didn't realise burning things created mass!

13 stitches and out of work for a few weeks. Thanks silky!

But the "best bitter" favoured by Yorkshire men is worthless enough to use for washing? ;-) -
I have a slightly mystifying problem - my 445 will start but not run. To elaborate, no matter what starting method I try, be it choke on, high idle, no choke, holding throttle etc, the saw will audibly fire after a couple of pulls like normal then die instantly. I can see exhaust coming out of the muffler and the plug definitely gives a spark, I don't think it would be fuel line or carb related as the saw still fires perfectly normally, but only when I'm pulling the cord! The issue began on friday when I picked it up (after it having worked fine just minutes before) and it just refused to run! Anybody got any ideas before I start needlessly replacing random parts?

I've found that the primer bulb is actually the only thing that solves my 560's hot starting problems - a pump or two before starting when I pick it up warm makes it start fine 99% of the time; if it gets really sulky then I've found pumping the bulb as many times as I can be arsed (like at least 30 times) then doing cold start procedure sorts it :-)

Has nobody picked up on the beautiful "pouring penetrating oil down the hole then beating it with a rod" yet? I thought all you guys were quicker than that! :-P

Might as well go the whole hog and stop subjecting them to the fluff and chemicals maccy D's call food as well :-P

Looks suspiciously like a shameless regift to me

By the look of things it may well end up being both!

We got hit really bad in Pembrokeshire, exposed hedges and trees all dead and brown down one side - rather unsettling driving around and seeing trees in autumn colours in may!

Royal Ascot horse hospital?

I'm in Northwest Pembrokeshire, and here's what I've seen out so far this year - Hawthorn, hazel and elder coming into leaf from about a month ago Some buds on beech getting fat and starting to burst about 3 weeks ago Sycamore buds bursting from about 2 weeks ago Blackthorn flowering from about 1 week ago There also been a few other fruit trees flowering for a while now :-)

Rob d of chainsawbars.com has a thread at the moment with offers on 13" sugihara bars and husky chains, though 13" may be a bit short :-)
-
I assume they'd fit a 445 as well? :-)

The mix is 50:1 petrol to two stroke oil, i.e. for a standard 5l plastic petrol can full, you'd want to add 100ml of two stroke oil. :-)

I'm really glad this thread came up as my 560 has had a mysterious chain oil leak ever since I bought it! Anybody have a picture showing where the bolts are? Still learning all the names and locations of the myriad bits of chainsaws!
-
Chain vs wire winches! Which one is best and why?
jamallio96 replied to Robbo479's topic in Cranes and Mewps
Can you maybe get a snatch block with a toothed wheel inside for the chain? Probably unnecessary but may work slightly better. And for cleaning the chain as it comes in I just envisaged a lovely DIY setup involving a nearby stream, a pressure washer and lots of duct tape :-P -
Still, you were the first to chime in :-) Good to know that it shouldn't be a problem too!
-
I remember somebody posting a link to a silky scabbard made by someone other than silky but can't find it with the search - anybody have any ideas? The hard plastic official silky one likes breaking too much :-P For a silky sugoi 360, any ideas appreciated!
-
It's extremely unlikely that you'll cut into your trousers whilst the saw is at full load with the chain cutting wood, as the wood is between the chain and all of your soft fleshy bits. It's most likely that, in the terribly unfortunate event of cutting into your trousers, the chain will be running freely, often (though hopefully not) at or near full speed. Therefore you'd be best to wear trousers (and boots) rated for the chain speed stated by the manufacturers of whatever saw your using. And please try very hard not to cut yourself with a chainsaw! :-P

Yay, all fixed! Bit of a bastard to align the hole correctly when drilling from the outside, ended up drilling 2 as first wasn't quite on target - might put a bead of epoxy in that one but leave the correct one free in case I ever have to replace that stupid little pin again! I even managed to get the spring back in and fully compressed using only the workmate and a pair of snub nose pliers, second time I've had to do the spring and it's still a PITA! But at least I can use my saw tomorrow ^.^ Thanks again everybody!
-
Thanks very much Spud, a very clear and comprehensive answer! I'll probably give it a go today - as much as my little 445 punches above it's weight, I miss the power of my 560! :-P I was thinking that even if I eff it up then a new clutch cover ain't a huge cost, but it's far better to have been armed with knowledge first to make that scenario less likely. Will post the results of my attempt later! :-)
-
Thanks for replies guys! I was thinking about drilling it and putting a screw in but figured the exact same thing; it seems like the metal the pin is made of is very hard and I would just end up damaging the inside of the clutch cover around it, especially as I have access to neither a vice or pillar drill - I'd just be asking for trouble with a workmate and battery drill! I also don't have access to a welder and would rather not pay to have such a tiny part replaced :-P Mark and/or Spud, just to check - you're sure that drilling a hole from the outside of the clutch cover behind where the pin is in order to tap it out will have little to no effect on the overall strength of the clutch cover? Cheers again!

Hi guys, the little pin that acts as a hinge for part of the chain brake system in the clutch cover has sheared, and now I can't get the bloody thing out to replace it! I have attached photos of the broken pin in the clutch cover and the replacement part. The ridged section of the replacement is the bit that goes into the clutch cover, and the extra friction from those ridges and fact that I can't really get any purchase on the top as it's sheared off flat had made it a right PITA! Anybody experienced and solved this problem or have any advice? Cheers! J
