thanks for that mojo i just didn't want to bray away at it and damage anything considering its sentimental value etc without seeking council first ;o) its very much appreciated bud.

I've been given a saw to look at and fettle for a local farmer who said the saw has sentimental value as it was his granddads so i said i'd have a look at it for him and get it into some kind of reliable order, so far I've changed all of the av mounts, carb kit, fuel line, and cleaned up the...

i install my chips on the mag alloy crank case , the thin part (bulkhead) which separates the carb section from the engine section and directs the air circulation to cool the engine the (top right of the flywheel) its cosy but it can be done i fit that last after the wiring is complete and...

they may stretch? so it may be wise to to use an appropriate depth gauge? the deeper you cut the more stress is put on the links/ rivets etc resulting in stretching .

hi all i acquired an old partner R35 earlier this year for the collection and removing the exhaust for a quick inspection it has a scored piston. are pistons still available for these? or will a piston off a modern saw fit in without little fuss, a stihl or husky ?. i haven't stripped it right...

I fitted the chip to the bulkhead of the saw as in the 1st thumbnail, I popped the flywheel off, removed the condenser, joined and heat-shrunk a wire onto the cut condenser wire going to the coil and then threaded it back under the coil plate and through the grommet with the ht lead and joined...

I recently purchased a 285cd powerhead £25 and a 2100cd powerhead for £100 ;o) both are already good runners ;o)

it took a good few attempt's assembling/dissembling to get it just right, but we got there in the end. ;o) patience is paramount when working on old things as my relationship dictates/testament ;o)

i did actually get it sorted out the trip mechanism was slightly worn, so i filled a cleaner edge back onto it and it works champion now ;o) CD
