  1. My 2p worth ? as I sort of said before look at your cutters and compare them. i,m not sure if those cutter teef are sharpened from a file or a grinder. if the former, your file is not being held at the correct height to get the correct tooth angle. If it’s the latter, then the grinder is at the wrong angle. the short answer is not enough hook on the tooth and I,m guessing that’s a 3/8 lopro or picco. As your saw is a small saw. Which you should be using 4mm file. i will see if I can find a new chain and take a pic and a chain on a bar of mine and take a pic. then compare them to yours
  2. As saw that has and 11.5 inch bar and chain is probably about 35cc if you want to run a 18 or 20 inch bar and chain you'd be looking at a 50 or 60cc saw and thats for cross cutting wood. Milling is a lot harder on a saw and a lot slower. depending on what you plan to do will dictate what saw you need. now I’ve not said anything about chain pitch etc. I will say like others you can’t mix them thou. Either you need to ask a lot of questions or you need to do a lot of reading. also knowing how to file properly the chain really helps. I wish you the best, if you succeed it will be an awesome feeling ??
  3. It took me some time to learn to sharpen a chain, a rocked chain was almost impossible, that’s where a grinder came in very handy. Although I’ve used it less and less as my filing skills got better. the trick is to know eggzactly what the chain requires. a dull chain will require more power to cut, which your saw don’t have. my suggestion to you is get a new chain, have a good look at it. Cut one or two Maybe a few cookies. check the chips for consistency ie small large etc. then get a depth gauge check all of them. Some could be a little high right out of the box. Give them a lick if needed, but be sure They are all the same, use the edge of your file to over the gauge to check. Even a tenth of a mm has an effect on the end result. then give the teeth a lick. Now it’s worth checking how the tooth looks after a lick or two. try cutting a few more cookies, check the chips. the reason for the checking and being particular, is because after a few times you will know when you need to give the chain a lick or two, but if you go on cutting it will take more than a lick or two to get it how it should cut like. If you look the top plate edge, and feel the cutter. That should be enough to know how it will cut. if it don’t cut right, check the depth gauges, if there ok then it must be the cutters. I could go on but one last thing, chainsaw milling is what makes you particular and getS you better.? Also seasoned wood is a bit harder to cut. one other thing if you post a pic or two of your cutters, you will get a few answers as to where you need to improve ?
  4. It’s amazing how much some don’t know about 4wds and proceed to drive them on tarmac in The wrong gears. I tried to explain to a guy but it was like trying to do sign language to a blind person. ? This guy I worked with who regularly used to drive out of fields onto tarmac and you could hear and see the tyres scrubbing, as well as things going clonk,ting,bonk as he turned the steering full. ?, I used to knock it out of 4wd just as I came out. it wasn’t long before he complained that it wouldn’t come out of 4wd. Then I had the lovely time of explaining it all over again. And said about driving on the grass verge with two wheels in fwd And then reverse. anyhow it maybe worth getting onto some Field and play with the 4wd in all the different combos and see what it takes to go in and out. it will be expensive to take it to the garage for them to look and explain stuff? I hope it all works as it should. Edit i,m adding this was paragliding stuff I was talking about not tree work.
  5. Reservdelar - Bepps BEPPS.MRWEBIT.SE you can thank me later ????
  6. Its common when someone has been on hard ground and been turning.. as others say. Get on soft ground (grass) and try. on my old pajero, for 4wd to 2wd high ratio, I had to decelerate and accelerate hard on hard ground. But it would not work unless going straight..
  7. I'd ask him to count the rings and tell me how old it is , ?? ?
  8. Got any pics, of the bands where it broke. Metal has a history of showing the time it’s taken to brake. Ie small fractures/tears or all at once. Good close up pics is needed. it could be operator or it could be a blunt punch stamping the hole and tearing it, thus weakening it. The thickness of the band has a thinness limit, that would also determine the wear of the band. it all seems very odd to me ! either way I’d be asking husky at some point,, because the last thing you want is for a real kickback to happen and it failed at that point. cheers ??
  9. Ooerr look at that woodporn, it gets me all excited ?
  10. Have you checked your plug,is it lean/ air leak and hitting the Rev limiter. is it Fuel starvation? its easy to post a youtube link of it running..it takes some of the explanation and interpretation.?
  11. It’s the same as the sixsixone, just keep an eye on the oil running out before the fuel... the manual say not to fill the fuel all the way if you find it does..
  12. If the husky’s good, I’d send the 066 off to that same person, for a full service. ?
  13. I sent him the pic, he said he hasn’t seen a design like that. And wouldn’t know where to get one. I see two ways fwd, send a youtube video link (make it unlisted so you can only see it if you have the link) to the manufacturer, showing your problem. And make it clear all that is needed. See how they respond. And then maybe follow up with, I will make this video viewable to all on YouTube. it maybe they want someone with the ability to fix it properly (the the sewing stitching) so it don’t come back to them like a sloppy fix 2nd way is. i Googled your harness, all 3 buckles are the same ? you, or get someone else to take the chest buckle off and fit it to the leg so it looks the same as the other side, and you get another buckle fitted to your chest/waist strap. If you look at some other harness manufacturers ie monkeybeaver/new tribe they use different chest buckles to the legs have a think about it. this is the link of my friends I may post a pic later today, of something he done for me yesterday, just to Illustrate What he can do. Paraglider harness repair and harness manufacturing by The Loft THELOFTWORKSHOP.CO.UK This harness is in desperate need of a repair We understand load-bearing stitching designs
  14. It’s a simple fix to sew on a new one if you can source one If you don’t have any luck, before you bin it. I have a friend that used to make paragliding harnesses, he does all sorts sewing on stuff from kite surfing to Para/hang gliding I guess he could fit a new pair or somthing. i will ping him the pic you posted, see if it’s anything like he’s seen on other harness.
  15. That was a big caravan for a single axle. ? just maybe if the nose weight was a bit heavier it would have been different. thats not accounting for something inside moving, or it was being driven a bit carelessly ? anyhow , I’m sure there’s many opinions as to how and why. So I shall just sit back and read ?
  16. It remember being put throu watching it when I was a kid, my fathers favourite program ? I’m not gonna even think about watching it again.?
  17. While I was on my coarse I heard of a guy before failing, because he was slow and a bit lazy at climbing the tree,(it was an easy tree) then when he did 2 cuts wrong he got a fail. i think most examiners are a bit flexible. But It goes to say if you get off on the wrong foot with him, your be almost pissing into the wind. ?
  18. Yeh, we used to call propan-2-ol ipa ?
  19. Probably that screen wash contains an additive to lower the surface tension of water ie a surfactant, and a degreaser to help with the removal of the film that builds up on windscreens there for better lubing and cleaning. one question for you ? Do you used summer or winter screenwash. As the winter one contains an antifreeze methanol/ethanol mix which is also a good degreaser i,m sure you could just buy the surfactant and add it to the water but as we all know somethings work better with other chemicals in the mix edit have you tried a little washing up liquid in the mix,
  20. Washing line ? Tree grown and clamped it
  21. I can’t really comment on your make of spikes, but I had to change a pair on mine, old Kline type, and had to heat the spike (just the spike with the thread) with a blow torch. as it had some very good thread lock. It maybe worth asking directly to the manufacturer. but I do think it will be a tickle with heat and a blow torch can be carefully used, but how high a temp idk
  22. This would give you a bit of a breather. It would show your trying to help, give it a bit of time frame for it to die off, And then if you are taken to court it would show willingness rather than stubbornness.
  23. aren’t these rat tailed maggots from the hover fly, which are very beneficial to the gardeners ? Rat-tailed maggot - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG
