    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 ,

    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. Tree monkey 1682
    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

    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?

    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 ?

    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. Tree monkey 1682
    You cant tell me burning painted timber is going to be good!?
  8. Tree monkey 1682
    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. Tree monkey 1682
    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

    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

    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 .

    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
  15. Tree monkey 1682
    Can't say what id like to do with them
  16. Tree monkey 1682
    I dont know , ive tried genuine carbs and non genuine carbs ,still had issues ,got rid ov the Honda engine on and either replaced them with loncin or Villiers..id love to put standard petrol in them but for the cost of carbs and down time I think il stick sthil 4 stroke, sometimes thirsty but easier and no issues with carbs or pipes . Its doing my nut in crap fuel. 2 pulls and its running
  17. Tree monkey 1682
    Have tried e10 in the chipper, if machines left (Honda gx390) I still get a fecking gammy carb, pipes then I end up putting a new carb on it after normal fuel, dunno.if its the local garage but premier fuel still has the same outcome
  18. Tree monkey 1682
    I.never know why they mulch trees 6ft off the ground to start with.. or we looking at unqualified hillbillies driving decent machinery

    Speak to timberwolf / entec uk for exploded diagrams

    I used to find that winter storage thing of " running them until dry" never helped, used to **************** the carbs so I gave up on that . Like above ive had big saws thst sit in the shed until needed , and also had the old series of husqvarna having issues with fuel with one local idiot eventually getting to the saw and seizing it up (hunt) he wrecked a good h350 for not putting new fuel in it . And another workshop did 12 saws of carb cleans , pipes and not running right, the were the 2 series husqvarnas as well as the 3 series . So ive just got to a point now where I cant be fked with messing and I get better economy out of motomix or aspen , no fkd machines or gammy carbs . Also better for your health well aspen is
  21. Tree monkey 1682
    Run on aspen or motomix , won't get these problems
  22. Tree monkey 1682
    Sorry I was going to write a response, stating how and why I know some of the above isn't correct but for legal reasons I cant comment further .

    Ive handled razor wire , for aggregate industries in staffordshire ,I prefer razor wire no gloves than barbed wire with gloves, ive seen the long lasting barbed wire injuries to animals than a clean cut . Whst I cant get my head around is that the ministry of justice pays millions in fines tonne home office for its use on prisons . Get that one. And I rarely see razor wire installed anywhere close, not even on mod bases near us .
  24. Tree monkey 1682
    Sorry I tried to delete my post after reading it on the net ,what I dont understand is the ministry of justice pays millions to the home office when its installed on the prisons . To be honest ive handled both and id rather handle razor wire with no gloves than barbed wire, ive seen what damage it does to animals.
  25. Tree monkey 1682
    The only people who can use razor wire is certain government installations, which of who have to pay alot alot of money .ie the moj has to pay a fine to the home office for its use on a prison .
