Could make your own

Well this thing is 20 year's old, and don't look like it had a great deal of maintenance on it. Waiting for parts now, will put it all back together and see what happens, thanks for the input.

Was the cover plate washer mounted on the crankshaft?

Yes, if this is the one you mean.

I wonder why both saws (mine and the one in the video) are wearing in the same spot? You would think wear would be random not so similar.

has the bore of worm drive worn away then as looks like been plenty of movement!

No it doesn't appear to be, I've ordered a new one anyway, also on the video I saw the damage was also excessive over the oil pump, hence the suggestion of a stainless steel shim to protect it. It's all cleaned up now anyway, awaiting bits, whether it goes again is another thing.

That's cos I took them out to clean

Yes I know this is so either a piece of stainless steel in the resin, worth a go. Also got an engineer pal who can knock up a stainless steel shim to cover it.

It appears that the o ring between the pump and plastic fitting is worn, mainly down to the casing damage, I'll get a cheap kit, bung up the hole with resin, for a fiver if it lasts a year all's good, thanks for the input.

I did see a video, where a guy put epoxy resin over a new pump, but I don't know what/if the reason for the damage would mean it would fail again.

Hi guys, just been donated this old 025, start's and runs fine, but there's a bit of an issue with the oil leaking around clutch area, is it worth bothering trying to fix?

Thanks in advance

Had a bit of a nose around, Marlow ropes seem to be very popular Also what is kernmantle rope?

Ok, thank you, I shall peruse the usual websites and look at this.

Hi, will probably be the method learnt on training, friction hitch/cord, hitch climber style. Until I get some experience.

Hi all, just completed CS38, looking to get some basic kit together, choosing a rope is the first obstacle. I'm not intending to do a lot of climbing, but where do I start?
