I needed a smaller, working ground saw to abuse, this £60 Lidl offering seems good enough. Not the most powerful (2/3rds of a ms261 of similar engine size) however it comes with a decent full chisel chain. Only annoyance is, its .325" chains while I have a reasonable amount of 3/8LP, so I may swap the bar and sprocket and put the .325 on the 020T, that will also need a new sprocket

It also has a fancy starter. I think its winding up a spring and then suddenly releasing, where as most starters will directly rotate the crankshaft.
Somone posted that Lidl had the 12v drills reduced, not quite as cheap here but £8.49 was good enough. While the chucks are not great quality, I find its very useful being able to swap them. So I now have four of these.

What other chainsaws do you have?

Out of interest what’s the Echo like to use Kram? I’ve been recommended the CS-2511WES for hedgelaying, though I don’t really do enough to justify one.

If you don't need all of it I'd take some off you, I was interested in it when Clive was selling but no way to get it here as didn't want to bother him with packaging for collection as he's a busy fella!
Turns out 50 quid can get a halfway decent set of forks... New seals needed and a coat of paint, but still feels like a bargain. Now to find a rear shock, discs, tyres, and all manner of other bargains...

I forget which GPz you are rebuilding, Unitrack or twin shock?

I had the twin shock GPz 550 (D series?) in the late 80's followed by a ZX1100A2.

You can look forward to the guts of that Neta* blowing out across the garden when you start it.

After some blatant encouragement on this forum I took the plunge and ordered a 12v Milwaukee 3/8” impact gun which arrive this morning .
Assuming it starts..

I finally got the adjustable shower pump pressure switch I'm going to fit to the pump in an effort to stop it pulsing off and on in use.
I had to buy a few other fittings to reach the minimum order price though

A Stihl MS201T are a great saw. Light, compact and powerful. I bought one broken on ebay cheap and repaired it. Needed piston and rings. I also added a Stihl power upgrade kit consisting of flywheel, coil and Carb for around £80 genuine parts.
