  1. Scrap it , could be opening can of worms and its a cheapo saw, decent carbs are not cheap and ud be half way there with labour for a new saw ,
  2. I get it and completely understand , then I read it through again, and whopper choppa was referring to for being sold to.flip flops . Im referring to log splitters cooking themselves. See you've answered yourself decent size oil reservoir, most sub ten ton diggers and log splitters dont have that, so all the machinery ive brought has oil coolers fitted from factory standard
  3. We had two crapuchi diggers that cooked rams, two log splitter that weeped oil-using it to much . The only think thats ever survived continually being used is machines fitted with a hydraulic oil cooler , stops rams, valve blocks and o rings from weeping
  4. Welcome to.think what you'd like , but why do you think it doesn't happen then? After oil gets squeezed and compressed it gets hot , with no way to cool down, same happens in diggers . Would you drive a car for a 100 miles without coolant or a radiator?
  5. Im quite well of what the timber goes for and what happens to it the difference is filters, temperatures and a bottom ash. What do you think happens to the bottom ash then ?
  6. And the poor people or people who think they're clever going through skips , burning things like creosoted /tanalised/painted stuff because they are too tight to pay for wood. That happens alot near me and the chimneybsweep now asks what your burning before sweeping the chimney , as he will walk away if its anything bar clean wood burned !
  7. You cant tell me burning painted timber is going to be good!?
  8. Newer stoves , burn more efficiently and re burn some of the gases , our stove is exempt from the legislation. Second thing yes or apparently so with moisture content .
  9. Its a load of shite, its people burning 'dirty' wood on a fire, albeit if its tanalised, painted or other shite . That's where the problem lies
  10. Ive a stihl br400 blower, 24 years old past few years its been running a bit like a knob, started ran, but not to full revs . Local garage re tuned her and got it almost right ..one day it wouldn't fire, swopped plugs got one hell of a belt off it , then it went back in again and the coils fked , they can spark enough but not enough to fire , Answers a new coil but im not paying £180 plus labour for it
  11. Phone them, In stow market ,Suffolk, then talk to tech department and they will talk you through it .
  12. All small log splitters will leek or weep oil- often they dont have a big enough hydraulic oil tank or no hydraulic oil cooler, problem with them getting over worked, Im dubious about ifor trailers due to a local dealership now saying they've been brought out by the chinese and them not stocking ifor because of this. So in essence what im saying is you might be replacing it with more over priced chinese junk. I dont know who id recommend in the way of machines seens the are alot stopped by eu legislation or brexit importing to the UK .
  13. Maybe fuel from a certain garage is dire then,and i should use fuel from a different garage! But the will be weeks where it doesn't get used ,thats when the damage seems to happen -pipes going brittle and carbs playing up... and in the sediment bowl is a dubious white grease/lard deposit
  14. Can't say what id like to do with them
