Unfortunately, sadly unbeknown to her 6 months ago he asked someone to stop and they didn't, which very nearly killed him. When he asked this person to stop and she didn't, experience told him his life was in danger and asking people nicely who don't obey can kill you. If you nearly get killed, next time you're in that situation instinct and training tells you to act. Very sad, hindsight is a wonderful thing. As @Squaredy says, whatever country you're in, just do what an armed under pressure cop tells you, whether you agree with it or not. Its the person without the gun who unfortunately is the loser. Like when a pedal bike carves up a lorry on a busy junction. If there's a collision, whoever is in the right or wrong, the bike is always the loser and there's no round 2.

We know the track record of the BBC on reporting on American news... sometimes or memories are better than they hope. Not saying article is right or wrong, just you're probably looking at the wrong place for accurate information if you're trying to get an understanding of the facts around the shooting.

I remember being told as a kid at school that we'd run out of oil and coal by 2000. That was all they were harping on about, running out. Then when that deadline came and went and we had more than ever before they start going on about the emissions crap. When they find that's half fabricated it'll be something else.

Block an entire countries air defence systems, send up 150+ aircraft, land in the prime ministers garden and walk off with him without losing a single man. A lot of countries are watching I reckon! Where do we apply!😂

Sorry?? There's no way the bloke wasn't well up there in the drug trade, making billions running them into America. A through and through criminal. When America started bombing the boats, a bloke I met who just been to Trinidad said there was suddenly a lot of high powered speed boats moored in the harbour too nervous to make the crossing. Speaking of Trinidad, news sites don't mention the state of emergency the country was in due to organised crime being out of control - since Venezuela dictator gained more control over the island. A lot of celebrations there and Venezuela when America did the job

Don't think it'll be a kubota engine if its petrol either?

Looks like the kind of industrial estate a chainsaw wholesaler would have a warehouse😅

Update on this one, new genuine stihl coil and it runs like a dream. Since the old one worked (until you connected to the plug!) Possibly some surface rust making a weak earth. I'd tried to clean it up but made no difference, so maybe it just had enough and retired. Thanks for the suggestions and advice as always👍

Maybe I just had a bad one. Always kept it clean and sharp, carb clean as a whistle, filters replaced when needed. Still looks like a nearly new saw as hardly done any work, every time I have job it could do there's a new reason it won't run, pull the 361 out and off you go. I might get it running, sell it and go battery with 12" bar. Smaller and cheaper the engine the more problematic I've always found.

Had various pro range stihl saws ms 260/240/361 would recommend any of these. Don't go for ms181 or domestic range saw even from a good brand, they're Chinese rubbish. If its just round the garden go battery unless you're jumping to a pro range stihl or equivalent

100% I do this. Outside in the wind and rain to season for a year or so(ideally 2), get the sap etc out then normally OK inside for 6 months to dry out

Thanks @spudulike, I'll double check the gap to check its hasn't moved. Don't think the HT lead does unscrew on this one.

Thanks Mark, I only pulled one off will do the other. Good point ref HT lead but I'm sure its not. Thanks for confirmation, new coil it is I think. Just seemed strange the coil was working until a plug is connected.

I've got a little Stihl kombi unit that suddenly cut in use. I presumed fuel so filled it up, but noticed still probably ¼ of a tank in there. It then wouldnt start. Checked spark, nothing doing. Put new spark plug on, still nothing Put a tester on the spark plug lead, shows a spark when earthed to the machine, but not when connected to a spark plug. Even with a plug i took off a working saw or a new plug (had been in workshop for 5years but still in box) Maybe all 3 plugs are mysteriously duff but Im beginning to doubt it? Disconnecting on/off switch doesnt make any difference so can't be that Could it be that the ignition coil has gone a bit dodgy, works when tested on its own but not when connected to a plug? Almost as if the resistance of the plug is too much? Just want to check I'm not doing something stupid before ordering a new coil. Thanks

Quick 2 min phone call to them, 'whats happened to my order when am I getting it' would answer your questions and probably push it theough it it hasn't been sent out.
