had huskies for years,this is the 1st time i have ever had a problem
at the end of the day this is not a my dads harder then your dad[ie which is best stihl or husqvarna]
i would like to say thanks for you reply
i would rule out water,the company i worked for did state when i used my saw that the mixture they were useing was the same 50-1
what happening now is when the chain brake is on you cannot turn the saw over[starter cord will not move]if you take chain brake off you can pull stater but there is compresion and the chain moves when you pull cord
thanks martyn
