This one I am pretty happy with.

One used Tachyon, following Samsons modified instructions for used rope. Another new one foolowing samsons double braid. One thing i noticed it there is a lump by the whipping where the core isnt tapered very well. On my next one i shall take the core further down, samsons instructions are 1/3 fid, which doesn't leave much slack to pull it out and taper it. So shall go for 2/3 fid from now on.
-
Some unsuccessful attempts. The green one I forgot to cut and taper the core before the final burry. The orange one I made the eye to tight.

A captain hook can be useful for this
-
so I can start the lock stitching about 50mm down from the throat. that way I can open the eye up slightly to get the ring in and out to move it onto shorter bits of rope

The compressor is fixed and back running now. I took it off the tank, took the casing of and noticed a switch... Obviously a safety cut if switch of sorts.
-
Thats a good idea
-
never drained it no, and brought it 2nd hand. doubt it ever has been. If i get it running I shall make that a pre winter job in future
-
I should add to help pin point the fault. I used it a few days ago, went out switched it on, it ran for 1 sec then stopped under strain. So switched it off and took it in the house to defrost, it then worked fine.

Hi, I left my air compressor on in the garage, which does refill its self a occasionally as it leaks on a joint. I usually switch it off when im not using it. However, I did not switch it off the last few days and it no longer works, this will be because it tried to re fill whilst something was frozen. So now I am trying to figure out what broke. Mechanical or electrical? Has anyone had this problem or fixed similar before?
-
I have just been and checked the H screw, I may have mad an error 😬. It does actually have 1 full turn left before its fully wound in.... So given that should I just stick it back together and continue using it?
-
OK thanks. I shall have a look at the carb, is there anything to be aware of whilst taking that off/apart? Yes, the limiter caps have been removed. There is oil residue around the air intake, would that be caused by the fuel vapour coming out the back of the carb?
-
This is what I currently use. There is a handful of times lifting would be useful, for which natural crotch and rings aren't great for. It seems consensus is they are good for a niche scenario, so it comes down to how much of your work is in that criteria. Good point on the MEWP. I have done a fair bit of mewp work and can see it being great for this. MEWP's currently arent common for me atm.

Not used one. Highly recommend the Echo DCS2500t though. Amazing little battery saw for pruning works
-
Hi. I've spliced some trex onto a ring, following samsons 12 braid instructions for a straight bury. When it comes to lock stitching should this be pulled tight? Thanks
-
I've looked through the spark plug hole as well. There doesn't seem to be anything of concern on the cylinder. The piston does have something going on around the top of it. Not to sure mind.
-
Some pictures of the piston and cylinder.

OK thanks. Sounds like replacing both is the way to go. Whilst I am at it is it worth replacing the carb also? I had a look at piston and cylinder kits, and noticed I could put a 54mm one on rather than the 52mm for a bit more power. Would other parts need replacing for this to be compatible?
-
Thank you. I shall get some pictures. It will be a couple of weeks until I start on it as I need to borrow a saw first to keep me going whilst fix this one. To make sure I understand. The Bore and cylinder are not the same thing is that correct?
-
I shall order a pressure checking thing and report back. Is there a way to determine if it is the bore or piston visually? Can bores be replaced and if so is it economical to do so? What I'm trying to think of is if I order a piston and fit that to find the problem still persists then it was the bore. Is there a systematic way of diagnosis to figure if it's the bore or piston without replacing the piston to find out it was the bore? Thanks
-
Thanks for an incredibly useful answer again. I do know fine sawdust does have a habit of getting past the filter on this saw and always has. I've tried several filter types to help. But when ever I clean it there is always fine dust stuck to the plastic the wrong side of the filter. So I wouldn't be surprised if the bore is worn. Perhaps I need to try and update the filter system when intake it apart. When you say toughen it up up a bit, could you explain what's meant by that? Thanks
