All of which is about the rubbers, not the idle. My 2010 261 is manual carb, I don't know if a 2015 saw would be manual or mtronic?
-
I worried about this and bought carb kit for the 261 in preparation, but so far not needed anything on any saws. Hedge trimmer had the fuel tank gland harden and start leaking so I changed that gland and the pipes but carbs been fine. Stihl flip cap o-rings have also needed changing, but they were getting a bit old and hard before the switch to Motomix anyway. YMMV as they say.

I don't think there's been a normal fruiting weather year for about 5 years, it's a lottery.
-
I've switched to Motomix a little while ago, my finding is all the manual tune saws (Stihl 150, 261, 461, two Dolmars) needed a tweak up on the idle. The autotune saws haven't (Stihl 201, 400).

Spliced onto 3 strand?

Risk of heave cherry tree removal?

You know when you buy a windscreen and first question "Is this on insurance?" Throw in a digger, mog, chipper, stump grinder..... -
I've got an 18v Makita saw, light and great for hedge and pruning work but not for cutting over 2" really - that's where I would switch to the twin 18v.

I was meaning to photograph mine, pretty sure they don't even match each other, but suddenly I didn't.

Ah fair enough. My usual method is chuck logs on ton bag of rakings to be honest, smaller trees and all that.
-
If you have to keep adjusting the carb, like Stubby said suspect air leak elsewhere.
-
I'm thinking the ideal negative rig drops the piece straight down below climbers feet, and then gradually slows down as it descends. Someone good on the ropes from below can do that, I couldn't do it myself from a portawrap up the pole having just pushed the piece. You still need the guy on the ground to undo the rope anyway.

Not encouraging. Hmm. I've just been looking on Landrover forums, Brittania and GEM seem to get good write-ups and seem to have options for trailer cover, and personal cover so any vehicle you're in. Need to check those details on commercial use I guess.
-
I went for cover with the insurance, I reckon if they're insuring the vehicle they can't claim they didn't know it was a 20 year old defender if/when it breaks down. So far not tried them out, but there's always tomorrow....

Never had this either, so many e-clips in the world working fine there is something wrong with your setup. Either the clip , shaft, chain, sprocket.

4x4, van, 3500kg towing are the 3 main good things that meant I got a 110 hardtop. Add low depreciation, it almost looks sensible. There are a few downsides to owning a defender though.....
