I think it's been running with a drilled piece of hardwood in place of the square block. Only guessing!

What's missing from here please? Top feed roller Kwikchip 222 (old one with 625 lombardini). Is it a bearing in a square housing. Anyone had one and can think that far back? Even better, anyone breaking one and selling parts? Any help or advice appreciated. I've taken the bar and springs off! It's what is missing from the shaft that is concerning me Thanks

Hi Gary.
Sorry to bother you, out of the blue. I was looking over some old posts. Have you still got the pdf for an early kwikchip 222? You mentioned having one in German.
I only took the rollers off to put an edge on them, but now the top roller isn't sitting right. It's like I've missed something, anyway, thanks if you can send it
Thanks

Thanks Bill [email protected]

Hi Anyone got a p df parts manual for an old kwikchip 222 with the lombardini 9ld 625 engine? I only took the feed rollers out to sharpen them, but they are not sitting right when I put them back. It's like I'm missing something. Thanks

All sorted. (For now, anyway). Thanks for all the replies. I tapped the motor with a hammer, and it's working now. My type of mechanics. Pick a suitable hammer and hit it!

Mitsubishi L200. My mate suggested tapping the motor with a hammer (as you would a starter motor) and that has worked. Don't want to be doing that all the time tho, just hoping it happened because it's not been used for a few weeks whilst I've been on hols
-
No. I've just seen that on YouTube. That seems like a good place to start. Thanks. You just disconnect it?

Can anyone help me with a method of fault finding for my hydraulic ram tipper.? Not sure where to start. It hasn't been used for 3 weeks, but was working fine. Don't know the make, it's operated remotely, light comes on the remote control and there is a clicking noise when pressed, but that is it. No movement of the ram at all. Can't check reservoir for fluid level, but was ok 3 weeks ago, and no evidence of a leak. Don't want to just start taking it apart, I'm sure there must be a correct method of doing things, Thanks

I have a fair amount, enough to process, but is it worth it?

I think you're right. I've noticed the inline fuel filter on my chipper picking up more during the dry spell. You can get cleanable inline filters. But, the ones I've seen are metal cartridges, and you can't see when they need cleaning. I use the disposable type. You can buy 10 for about £12 on web.

Aerial rescue is definitely one of those situations where 'prevention is better than cure'. But even when all precautions are taken things happen. What's dissapointing is, we do everything we can to satisfy hse, insurance companies and when something happens, as in Sean's case, it's still a battle. Incidentally, who climbs with a first aid kit? I may be heading for a slating here, but l don't. If l nick myself l either carry on or come down and sort it out, if it was serious, what on earth can you do in a tree with a first aid kit!

If you've been paying £9 from the day he started l think a rise is due. He still has things to learn, but think back to when he started and you had to tell him everything. As people are saying, it sounds like he is considering looking elsewhere. Do you want to start again with someone new, who may not be as keen
-
I understand what you are saying, and yes, qualifications are important. More so now than ever. But. I learnt more about tree work from a guy in the eighties though, who didn't have a qualification to his name. He also didn't have a chipper at the time, but that's another story!!!

Fantastic watch. Very professional. Including the filming. That was like a Hollywood production. just off to reduce another conifer?
-
Thanks bill. Looks good!
-
It's an old and l mean old kwikchip. But it's really easy to maintain and dead reliable
-
Mine has that engine also. I can take some pics of the cover tomorrow for you so you can see about air vents etc Thanks. That would be great.
-
My chipper has a lombardini 625 engine. It isn't covered and exposed to the elements, dust etc. I want to put a cover around it. It's air cooled though. Could this be an issue?
-
I"ve had a similar problem with a 362 and another saw. It started when l switched changed to husky 2 stroke oil. I didn't work it out straight away. Started messing with carb settings, with no joy. Then l just thought, l'll go back to my old 2 stroke oil. That sorted the problem. If you are running husky 2 stroke, just try changing to stihl. If your not, sorry ignore my text, it must be something else
-
I happened to notice my grease gun, which was in the bouncing hot shed had leaked slightly. The viscosity of the grease was more like oil. It started me thinking, do we need to pay attention to greased parts in this hot weather?, do moving parts get any hotter than usual? And will grease run out of purged bearings if they get hot? Thanks
-
Is it just recently the pressure has dropped? Water companies sometimes reduce the pressure in drought conditions. It might explain why there is no sign of leaks at the moment as well Sorry. Just seen it's been 2 years. Can't be that
-
Oops. And l thought l had a bad day
-
Back on stihl. The green stuff
