34,s on the saws, and a 40 lying on the ground. Had a look for that 211 but no joy, the one I was thinking was there is an 023, very similar but different enough to be of little use to you Im afraid.

No worries and thanks for looking. I've just fixed the handle tonight with an aluminium strap which is largely hidden. A touch of black paint and it will look right.

Those are big bars, never used anything that long.

Never heard of Partner - very cool.

Partners are cool, a bit like the echo's of old. The New echo's are pretty crap though in my opinion.

I used one of these old pioneer 620s for years, you could put just about any length bar on, and they still had power to spare. The power head weighs about 3 times a 066 though, which made for some long, hard days.

I own a Solo, but not this model. I wouldn't like to lug it up some of the hills around here with pine trees growing on them.

Bloody hell, someone hated that saw in a previous life.

Yeah the aiseole whoever he is. However he seems to have done the right thing with fuel and oil which is a relief. Good compression, piston looks fine, and the muffler is clean.

Here are a few pics for comparrison with what I picked up:

Good job on the handle. Should keep you in firewood for awhile.

There is a whole discussion thread about the Partner in the chainsaw forum on Arboristsite.

...i'm wishing i had just shut up about the thing...I pulled it out last week, my bar on the 026 is fucked and i thought i would put off the inevitable 117 dollar compulsory purchase of one until i had that kind of spare coin floating...new plug and a couple of hours cleaning up the Partner and she roared into life, did twenty minutes work and died...cooled off, started again first pull, died a minute later...cooled off, started again, first pull, died a minute later...I am hoping it is the tank breather but I have that dread feeling it could be the coil...another part of the world of unobtanium I would say...I will check out your link, you never know...cheers...

...I like races...

Hmmmm, my solo tinkles like that husky 272 when it's idling. Sounds like an old Euro trials bike.

I cut about 3 mtr of dry plum & manuka, similar size & bigger t'other day. The wee solo, 639 I think, just fell through it. I use one of those smart holders, too. The blue stand in the vid. Brilliant bit of kit for a n00b like me. Very happy with the new saw as well.

Back onto oil. Solo recommends Castrol Super TT if I want to run at 40:1. My mate has just been advised to use Castrol TT in his KX 125. Same oil? If so does that mean full synth 2t bike oil is the go?

You just stole that off my facebook page, didn't you.

Im cutting between 15 and 20 mtrs of firewood a day at the moment, at least when we are not having hurricane type winds and hail like golfballs.

...I just watched a macro, two foot thick, snap and turn to matchwood before it hit the ground. Too close for comfort for me. I'm hoping it's mate which is a lot closer to the house stays up. I'm fairly freaked at the moment. Our roof is straining to leave and the wind has not dropped below 140-150 k all night and today . I didnt think any linesmen would be able to work in this shit, but the power just came back...for now. They are fucking hard men.

There is gonna be a lot of firewood real close to home.

shutthefuckup you two. Youll push insurance up. Again.
