I think you've hit the nail on the head there Matty.

 

A dealer that doesn't have the engineering or mechanical skills to service and repair can give a product a bad name

Huskys aren't immune from problems either, I bought a 357xpg from last years AA show and it wouldn't rev till it had warmed up.

 

You had to start it, not touch the throttle at all and leave it 2 mins on the floor ticking over to warm through, it would then rev fine.

 

I left it like that till it had run in then spent 15 seconds adjusting it to run perfect, only a 1/4 turn on the jet.

 

If I had not known what to do I'd have been slagging them off saying they were crap and had problems from new.

Have you ever tried the man at the lawnmower shop in Letchworth? He is quite handy with hedgetrimmers, and reasonably priced.
