They fell off my face as i was adjusting the carb and at that very moment the machine kinda shut down causing a kick of sorts...eh.. #### knows what happened...Me speccies is squished..

Ok, thanks a bunch. Another piece of the jigsaw complete.

First casualty of Chainsaw club... Dont ask.

Can any of you guys identify the chain. CM 25 Would like to know if it's compatible with this Oregan bar..
-
Noted..cheers. Tomorrows another day. I'm getting the compression checked over sometime this week. Seems to run ok but i'll check the compression anyway. You guys are correct. This monster is going back up for sale. Weighs a bloody tone. And as i need to walk a few miles there and back carrying small logs as well i think i've bitten off more than i can chew. 18lbs...unfueled.

I possess neither a wife nor a girlfriend. They do my nut in. I have a Goldfish, and he doesn't appear to give a flying ####. Never once has he drawn me a dirty look for leaving the toilet seat up. He just swims in circles minding his own business, eating his own excrement.

Well the saw is bought now. I may as well have fun taking it apart and learning while i'm at it. fired up on 3rd pull. seems to tick over ok though it did start to over rev a bit, no fuel in tank, just what was left in the line...expected....House a bit smokey. So far smoothed off some light burring on the edges of the bar. cleaned the chain. chain looks in good condish. checked oiler was working as it should. cleaned out all the allen screw heads and bolts and made sure they were ok and not glue on. Found a crack on the chain drive shaft cover plate that i never noticeed in the pics. Next job get the sprocket off and see what's behind that. Bearings on drive shaft fine. Do i need to choke the piston chamber with something before i remove the nut holding the sprocket and clutch in place.?

Saw arrived..Shouldnt' there be a sprocket here..?

The guy who was supervising her thinks it's funny and lets her continue..?

You're thinking of Fight Club, First rule of winning the lottery is to buy a big bass drum, remove your clothes and walk down the middle of the road and right into work giving it laldy. How much your honour...Cash or check.??
-
No, See above post.
-
The saw is to gather the wood. I have a Milbro pendant drill and chisels to do the carvings.
-
I will take the course you mention and in the meantime look for a modern saw. As i said in my introduction.."Newbie here"..I'm here to learn and first lesson of the day was, "yer Saw is dangerous for a new start". I can also see why people in here are reluctant to give me advice considering my first choice of saw. I suppose it's a bit like me jumping into a motor racing forum and asking if this old 1930's leather helmet will do for formula 1. To give you all more of a insight into what i plan to make here's what i'm up to . Burl Kuksa's..really hard piece wood to remove...hence the chainsaw. And maybe one day...aye, in my dreams.. Cheers.

The only reason i mentioned motorcycle gantlets is that they run partway up my arm affording me greater protection, If i try them and they dont feel right i wont wear them. I'll Buy other gloves. I will be careful.
-
No. No point but i'll take everything on board. First thing when i get the saw is strip it down and look for flaws and worn parts. It is what it is, A very old saw so i'll be all over it making sure everything is as it should be before i do anything..First things first..A wee bit if training. I know the saw has safety issues compared with todays saws, but used correctly and with the proper ppe i should be ok. Ps, I was looking at those AV gloves, they kinda look a bit on the bulky side. I would prefer to wear something that gives me a good firm grip as i'll probably only be cutting for 20 mins or so. I have several pairs of heavy leather gloves including a pair of motorcycle gauntlets that might just do the business. The trousers and face protection i wont scrimp on.

Maybe power tools are not for us mate.. Chainsaw for sale.

Just watched this video. Perfectly demonstrates the speed at which kickback occurs. oooft, Nearly took his spud off. The guy to me made at least three errors from what i've learned from you guys today.. Dont worry, not bloody, just a slight graze by the looks of it. Still quite scary though. Now i know what i'm dealing with. 1, Stance/positioning and height he's cutting at. 2, metal fence behind the stump caused the kickback 3, he was holding onto the side of the front handle. 4, Anyone else see where he went wrong before 1,2 and 3... ?

Ok, I'll watch it. Thanks. Cheers for that. Informative video.
-
Thanks.
-
Is it bloody?
-
Could you explain to me why a chainsaw with a chainbrake wont kick back. I know how they work. Well i know when you push the brake forward it stops the chain but how does it work with kickback. I need to know these things and aint afraid to look like a plum asking the questions either.
-
I'll youtube that to see what i'm dealing with. Thanks.
