They've got these flip up and twist caps for the oil and fuel reservoirs.
It has to be better than using a square shanked screwdriver to undo 'em.

dave500 · « **Reply #53 on:** March 02, 2018, 02:24:19 AM »

oh I forgot to mention,that type of cap is for poofters!

dave500 · « **Reply #54 on:** March 02, 2018, 02:44:30 AM »

going back to your first post Mick,about hard to start etc,my brother in law gave me this sach saw over 15 years ago,the shop told him it needs a carby overhaul etc at so many dollars,so he just bought a new bigger saw,well #$%* me inside out I fired the thing up and adjusted the carby and its been fine since!ive really done some work with it,ive never even had the carby off it!

mick7504 · « **Reply #55 on:** March 02, 2018, 02:50:29 AM »

Better get different caps ASAP.
No pooftas allowed here.

Got some bar and 2 stroke oil.
Bloke at the Big Mower reckoned that Stihl have got a deal going at the minute.
Buy this HP Ultra 2 stroke oil and they'll bump the warranty to 4 years from 2.

So I said to chuck 4 bottles in the ute and bump it to 10 years.
He told me to fcuk off.
These young fellas just don't understand sometimes.

Who could have guessed that one day chainsaws would be collectable. I better hang on to my Bouch cordless drill.

Ha ha, the batteries died in my last two cordless drills (Ryobi industrial and Bosch) but I don't have the heart to throw 'em out, so one day Ken, I'll have enough to buy that XY GT Falcoon..............

yeah young dick head sales faggots don't understand us old timers Mick,no sense of humour?use any high quality two stroke oil,i don't use #$%*ing special bar #$%*ing oil,thats a #$%*ing rip off,i mix up 10 litres of 50/50 diff oil with any engine oil,costs #$%* all,im told that theres gay #$%*s using #$%*ing vegetable oil now to save the planet?and ive heard of cat converters on chainsaws aswell!i converted a cat once,i ran it over in my HK Monaro,i converted it into a road pizza!

mick7504 · « **Reply #58 on:** March 02, 2018, 03:21:56 AM »

Road pizzas are the best cats Dave.
That McCulloch that I got from Bunnings (where lowest prices are just the beginning) easily wins the POS award.
The carby adjustment shafts are splined so that you have to buy the special McCulloch adjusting tool part number 🎡%/#¥* ●~<° from fcuking China.
The Dremel is gonna slice some slots into the top of 'em and then give it a tune up with a screwdriver.
If that doesn't liven it up, someone will have to write an obituary for it.

dave500 · « **Reply #59 on:** March 02, 2018, 03:29:29 AM »

I just busted the alloy housing causing a deep recess away that stops a normal guy from tinkering with those screws and used pointy pliers to spin em out,then slotted em and had my way with the adjustments,happy high clean revving decent idling days!

mick7504 · « **Reply #60 on:** March 02, 2018, 04:38:46 AM »

That McCulloch is going to get an old fashioned tune up.
For sure it's the carby locked into factory settings.
It went ok with a hotter plug but that was just a bandaid.

All this talk about chainsaws has made me think I need to upgrade just a little

dave500 · « **Reply #62 on:** March 02, 2018, 05:46:32 AM »

Lining up in the Darwin chainsaw stables are
1. Poppa Bear Stihl
2. Momma Bear Stihl
3. Baby Bear Stihl
4. Aunty Electric Makita
5. Who shot sh1t in ya head Poo Bear McCulloch
There's enough to start a Chainsaw War.

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #65 on:** March 02, 2018, 11:59:23 PM »

Wow, I've only got the two saws in the pic plus my Chinese polesaw, I think I've got chainsaw envy........

mick7504 · « **Reply #66 on:** March 03, 2018, 12:20:20 AM »

I still have more motorbikes in the shed than chainsaws Terry.
But the way I'm going, that could change.
At least I could top up the Super Annuation Fund if I ever get rid of it all mate.
More than likely, that won't happen.
If I snuff it tomorrow, some poor bastards gonna have a big job on their hands.

dave500 · « **Reply #67 on:** March 03, 2018, 01:20:23 AM »

heres the #$%* im talking about you gotta clear out after each use,fair enough I was lowering a hedge fully entwined with some #$%* vine crap but youll also have fine hardwood pack in there and cause corrosion more so if its green wood.

mick7504 · « **Reply #68 on:** March 03, 2018, 02:43:28 AM »

That's what the bloody McCulloch deserves after giving me lip.
It tested me out last weekend and we aint on talking terms at the minute.
It'll get carb clean and adjust and that Stihl flash as Michael Jackson 2 stroke oil before it's fate is decided.

dave500 · « **Reply #69 on:** March 03, 2018, 03:19:16 AM »

that was a little echo,pretty worn out,#$%*ed it off when I found the crappy little gmc bunnings thing,weighs less than a full can of beer and tuned up well,not that's theres many full cans of beer around here?

dave500 · « **Reply #70 on:** March 03, 2018, 03:26:35 AM »

buying a new saw you don't get #$%* for years,i only noticed this busted clutch spring doing a clean out,got the saw for free from my brother in law,its a great sach german or swedish saw,it truly punches well above its weight and starts easy,its my go to saw for most stuff,i like using that big old stihl though,its sort of like an old bultaco?

dave500 · « **Reply #71 on:** March 03, 2018, 03:34:04 AM »

im surprised Kawasaki or Honda haven't gotten chainsaws happening?ive got a great 20 year old kwaka weed wacka that's a demon,if they made a saw it would kick arse?,Honda could do a 4 stroke saw with a gear overdrive and keep rpm low but high chain speed?

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #72 on:** March 03, 2018, 11:46:45 PM »

I had a loan of a new Honda 4 stroke weed wacker back in 2001 Dave, it was a really good little tool, no idea about longevity etc, but (apart from the $1000 price tag) I would have had one!

dave500 · « **Reply #73 on:** March 04, 2018, 12:09:00 AM »

I found one once and got it going,the weed wacker bit was stuffed but I sold the motor as a bicycle motor,they have one weird cam lobe that does both valves?

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #74 on:** March 04, 2018, 12:30:36 AM »

Yep, I've got a motorised scooter (as opposed to motor scooters, that only poofters ride) that my brother in law who's a garbo, gave me. It's got a little Honda 4 stroke engine on it, and it runs as sweet as. I need to find a chain and a pair of tiny sprockets for it so I can go footpath cruising.............
