Well it’s all settled. I’m not getting the Hilux and will be looking for something else. As it’s a home modification the insurance is about £800 more than a standard truck. Thankyou for all the advice and time taken to reply.

Yes I know the payload would be shocking. I agree it’s better with a fork and boards. Either way I am struggling to find sensible insurance with a modified tub. Thought a tipper might be easier to explain.

Yes the chassis has been repaired. A good job done by the look of things. Yes Adrian Flux did seam a little excessive. Will try NFU and see what they come back with. Only considering this Hilux as I have known the truck for a few years and is low mileage. Engine and box sweet as a nut.

Evening gents. I have the chance of a relatively low mileage Hilux double cab. It currently has a tray tub fitted as the original was rotten. I’m looking to fit a tipper body but a struggling to find sensible insurance. Standard Hilux £350 direct line. Direct line won’t look at a tipper as modified. Tipper Hilux with b Adrian flux £1200.' Second vehicle 5000 miles but no transferable no claims. Cant be that expensive as lots of lads use modified pickups.

I have. I use motomix as most of the kit isn’t used that often so added a little bit more oil to it.

Well took a £20 punt on the new pot and piston. Fitted fine. Cleaned carb and refitted. Tried to start. Coughed on choke all good. Switched choke off a couple of pulls. Bloody starter cord snapped. went for beer. back on this morning new cord heated plug with small blow torch. Started ok and running nice. Will get it ran in with a bit of load soon but all looks ok. Thanks for all the advice.

Thanks checked carb and all looks good. Surprised it ran with such low compression.

Well tried settings no go. Pulled carb to have a look. Spotted piston through port . Scored, removed exhaust also scored. Probably ram with no oil. Going to try the new pot and piston in pic. Once fitted will check for air leaks etc. hopefully all ok. My own machine and not going to have heavy use.

Thank you il try the settings first then the carb. Suspet the diaphragm myself as when running it is hunting. Just needed a starting point.

Thankyou il give that a go this morning.

Yes I understand that. I’ve set a few chainsaws up. Normally there is a separate hi and low. And a separate LA for the idle. Unsure how the high and low can be controlled by one screw.

I have tried to search the forum but have drawn a blank. I recently acquired an HS 80 hedge trimmer. Looks to be in good condition. It’s not running very well. It either runs ok once started but dies at idle or won’t rev. There are only 2 adjusting screws. As in first pic. The case shows H/L for one and LA for the other. Can anyone help me with some base settings. I’ve tried 1-2 turns out on HL. Which will get it to start but the LA doesn’t seam to do much. Just need a starting point. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks gents thought it was strange with no sprocket. Will have to get a sprocket bar next time. Don’t think it will take long to wear as generates a lot of heat.

I’ve been working on a ms880. Not oiling. Now fixed gummed up pump. Noticed the 42” bar has no sprocket just a solid nose. Is this normal as I would have thought it would have created more friction I’ve not used a saw this big too heavy. So wondering if this is normal.

Had something similar on a 150. The splines had worn in the roller coupling. Turned due to friction when not loaded but stopped when loaded. Took a little bit of finding.
