Wonkydonkey

As with most things, the best is seen after the undressing, and I bet the next two cuts are the best, i bet that crutch looks lovely ? Btw. I've milled, and the best is seeing it like no one else's has before

Thanks for confirming that spud,, it means I do know somthing, other than ??

I thought that was the norm with these 200's, I think it's all down to the bearings with the side to side floating, Iirc needle bearings.. It is if there is any up and down play. which is a no no. if the pressure & vac test is good and the compression test is good, I'd leave it as it is. but I'm happy to be told I don't know cr@p ? Cheers

My guess is, either your bar groove is worn excessively, or you got the wrong gauge chain for the bar. ie a tight chain cuts straight, once used and warmed up, the chain slackens and then cuts wonky ?

Just whata ever u got to chop it, ie the smallest saw and a bigest bar, I used a 260 with 3/8 and 25” bar as I had to hold it above head height to cut the top.. I did a walk past on each side but your mileage may vary. The sides are much more easy,

I’ve attacked a big hedge with a chainsaw, cos it was to thick for the hs45. but I only did 2 sides not 3. The next yr I did the other side You will get a lot of growth once cut back so you will have to keep cutting it to keep the shape you want. and yep as others say cut back to more then you got a place to keep it to. And be able to use the hedge trimmer with ease.

I know my potatoes,,, so what’s in a 395 and a 880, porting wise, I forgot the Xtra Plastic 3120

Umm, by who is what I was gonna ask ?? after all all there are porters, and porters , just go to any hotel and you’ll see. Muscle Mary’s and fairies, so to speak..?

My 260,s chain used to run on a bit longer than it should have after I decelerated. It also was a bit crap at starting in a cut if the revs were not high. New springs helped. i see spud jumped in while I was typing, great minds think alike ?

Un till you look, you prolly don’t know, it’s a good chance it’s just warn springs, that are cheap, i see stubby has beaten me But You should replace all springs even if one is broken

Have you had the plug out, looked at the colour and checked the gap. Sounds like you got a clutch prob as well, if the tick over is low and chain runs. i'm sure there's many possibilities of reasons as to why. But as said before simple to take exhaust off and look at rings/piston (are they gummed etc,) take a pic if your not sure. While the exhaust is off you can look into the spark plug hole and observe other places within the cylinder. thats my 2p worth. cheers

I’ve just been thinking about this, wouldn't it be easier to get the number from your cover, then quote this to your local stealership and say you want a set of big dawgs.. ?

Well according to my ipl there are two types depending on you cover, but I would say 13 part no 122 664 0506 unless you you got a cover with a flap at the bottom1122 664 0506

I was being nice to this taxi, he came around a corner and slid into this car, I gave him a pull away from the other car, so as to not slide along the side of it even more. oh I wash I had not bothered, the guy couldn't drive for toffee on snow. at first when I started pulling, he left the hand break on. Then after me shouting out my window, he took it off. Then as I pulled him away he drove with his foot fully off the clutch and full lock on tickover You can guess what was about to happen. He almost just slid back into the next car... But my tow rope (which was doubled up to shorten it) stopped him. anyhow, after me getting out and explaining not to drive like he did, I repositioned myself and this time I got him on to the correct side of the road. then off I went to the next victim.

That was my shed, the the...... Little runt, will get his day, maybe not by me but someone will make him pi$$ his pants...or better!
