I'm getting it second hand from the clients, but they said nothing required doing, but if they wanted to reduce them they could. Does that not seem right to you? Think I'm walking away from this one anyway
-
Wise words. A f***k up would certainly be one way to get their attention. As I said in the op I am quite confident that the job would go ok, nothing going track side of garden, including me. But I don't need the job and I certainly don't need to be half way through the job and be stopped. I will try and contact rail network, and if they don't respond I'll give it a miss

Good thinking. Pick a strike day! Shouldn't have to wait too long
-
If they ever ran on time I would?

Thanks. I appreciate it's impossible for anyone to give me an exact course of action. But you've pretty much answered my question in that I was looking for procedures, protocols etc. Regarding the trees, were they to be felled they would reach the track but it's not a fell, just reduction. Also forgot to mention, the clients had rail network out in the hopes that they would do the work. They said no, as they weren't there's and they posed no interference to them

I've been to look at a job. The client's garden backs on to a railway line. The client has a row of beech which was once a hedge to reduce. Behind the beech is their fence, 30 ft of embankment and then the tracks. I am confident I can deal with the job from the clients garden. Do I need to inform/ get permission to carry out the work. The line is low speed diesel trains (not electrfied) Thanks

That looks to me like 3 young lads who've been sent out and told to get the job done. With a bit of guidance from someone with experience they would've coped with that, learnt something and had a positive experience. I bet none of the people in the vid own that company. That is the person who is ultimately to blame

Thanks. There is someone locally. It's an old chipper though and I don't know if it's worth doing. Just trying to get an idea of prices to see if it's worth taking to them.

Hi Does anyone know, roughly, how much it would cost to get my chipper chute and flywheel casing shotblasted and 'repainted? Thanks

Tricky customer Quibbling price after emergency job, what would you do?

Please don't let him get away with it without a fight. Tell everyone what he's up to as well. If I was one of the builders I'd be giving him some too. Too many hard working people get ripped off by his type. Stand up to him and hopefully he will think twice next time. Good luck. -
Thanks everyone. Took carb off cleaned everything. Didn't replace anything. Working ok for now, carb kit ordered. Thanks
-
Thanks. I've had the needle sticking in the past and it caused similar issues. Think it may just be tired. It's an '08 and done it's fair share. Just can't put my hands on 500 quid at the min so trying to keep it going for a couple of months
-
Ha ha. Like that. Forgot to mention tho, I changed spark plug and was exactly the same! Will look into coil tho. Carb kit first as it's cheaper?
-
Ta?

Any ideas? Starts ok. Will idle ok. Pull the trigger and it runs for approx 20 secs and dies suddenly. Start her up again and does the same. Thought it might have been the breather. Blown and cleaned out. Same with fuel filter in tank and air filter cleaned. Problem started after a refuel, when I let it run out. (Try not to do that usually). Haven't looked at carb yet. Is that the next step? Thanks

Thanks Pete for putting me on to Gibson's. They've sorted me out. Very impressed with their service. Get this though, I've put everything back together and the top roller is going in the wrong direction on forward and reverse. How on earth have I managed that? All I can think is l manually turned the rollers to access the bolts, could this be the reason? I'm baffled (Not removed any hoses etc)

I thought drill a hole in the top of the wooden block, shove a fairy liquid top on it and jobs a goodn!!
-
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!
