  1. Filters clean took it apart and cleaned it at home other day was mucky before which made me wonder if too lean? Unless there is one inside airway? One thing did notice is looks like air flap thing that feeds off flywheel has broke off as bit of plastic stuck to casing below orifice on the plate that carb sits on which looks like where feeds air into through. Looked on I&S Engineering plans and has a long piece there so time for more checking
  2. yep the BIG DOGS will be chasing the Cat away pretty soon! once arrive along with Duel port can and HD2 filter? My 372XP went through a log like that yesterday like a rat up a drain pipe! was it cutting fast but think chain might be a bit too aggressive?

    Grief!

    My 044 seems to have lost the adjuster screw from oil pump so no oil coming out great! spent a while with limited tools rooting around where it goes just seems a hole! so guess would that be a new oil pump? Then to cap it off 372 thought it would play up in sympathy! was hard to start to begin with lots of pulling before fired up but kept bogging down like running out of fuel i did change fuel that had been in it from week orso. But just kept doing it so come be chain as a bit aggressive file? But by heck did it chuck some bits out but the cut looks rough. I did wonder if running to lean? as did clean air filter right out and replaced rim sprocket and bearing but chain was moving freely when checked pulling through by hand so not binding! Took plug out to check colour one side was more biscuit than other thought looked ok? (do have some pics)i turned H out half a turn and L 1/4 just in case too lean and having a Coronary? but didn't make any difference really.Check fuel filter looks ok
  4. my 044 came with 18" bar Got a GB bar to replace it guy there suggested 20" as said 18" too short for most things and too long for others and saws bit heavy for tiddly things so the 15 on 346 is better
  5. yoo yeah dar dam boys can throw chips! I'm sure some of them are smoking something!
  6. Just been checking through bits so now the K'in fun starts! Stihl 3/8 063 uses 13/64 files but if get the Oregon type it's 7/32? So now go to one on 372 which is running Stihl that looks like need 13/64 file now! Then need to work out 044 chain as think that isn't Stihl chain could be Oregon or Sarp?
  7. Yep need a long bar tomorrow to trim side of a tree down so will have to use 372 plus not much point having a 90cc on a 15" bar
  8. Can't dig it out though as don't think the Residents would like it!
  9. Whats the most useful lengths and ones for saw sizes? my 346XP has 15" in 325-5/8. 372XP has 24" 3/8-5/8 atmo thinking of getting the adaptor plate so can run stihl bars on it as my 044 is running 20" 3/8-0.63 and getting a 24" for that.
  10. if it's plastic try the trusty ole soldering iron for some plastic welding always handy to have some of same material to add into weld
  11. found some goodies! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Husqvarna-588846302-Full-Wrap-Handle-Kit-with-Spikes-Fits-365-372XP-OEM/402002736431
  12. Was thinking of something like salt plenty of it so soaks down as hopefully not something it can deal with! other was brick acid type gear
  13. Trouble is the bigger the cutting bits the louder they get so can end up back at square one! as those big circular saws make a racket
  14. much down to how hold it and blade and some of the better ones have far less vibrations you can get gloves that cut it down also. The Makita top one has an AVS. My Hitachi is ok was ripping up pallets while back guy holding it said nails there! Where all gone they do some very aggressive blades 5TPI and below shread timber
  15. Thought about trying Gold top bit more creamy!? had some gear that deals with knotweed could almost hear it scream! we have a bit showing it's head but not for long!
  16. in the plots.along the sides and coming up through cracks in concrete along paths at cemetery so they want it gone. Hes talking about getting someone in to deal with it! it has been hit with that other gear has a light green top! and Round up type gear.
  17. also have a look at likes of reciprocating saws the better ones have a longer throw can use with plus 300mm blades. How To Use A Reciprocating Saw To Cut Wood | The Tool Square WWW.THETOOLSQUARE.COM We get asked simple questions such as how to use a reciprocating saw...by how do you use it correctly to cut...
