Believe it is heading back to the mothership.

I saw on Instagram he'd visited the factory and been lent that new turntable model in the meantime.

I've a buyer as of tonight for mine.

It might be gone in a week or so.

Local groundscare company, friend of a friend.

Tested it out yesterday evening.

I'm putting new tyres on and bunging in a boxed set of Rotatech blades I was once gifted but never used.

Mixed feelings about letting it go.

I like having a backup chipper sitting ready to go scarred as I am by the whole Efi episode.

However, the Evo continues to be reliable so having a second machine depreciating away whilst costing insurance seems unnecessary.

Mother Gaia. She's a dab hand at EFI.

Any updates?

Back with Greenmech, no news is good news I believe. In the meantime it’s blocked from my mind 😂

Engine swap? Nothing like a v8 chipper 😁

To hijack the thread somewhat, rather than start another. Anyone care to offer an opinion on this? Same motor, Timberwolf machine. Starts fine everytime, runs at idle with no issues at all. Loses rpm when at full throttle intermittently then powers back up on its own. 

Fuel supply is clear, new filters all around, test of fuel lift pumps comes back normal. 

Sometimes itll run for 10-15mins chipping, sometimes continually dying every 30seconds. 

It started monday, very minor, tuesday was much worse.

Thanks.

Funny you say that, just assembled a V8 actually! 305hp should sort the job out...

Thank you for posting.

It must be humiliating for dealers not to be able to easily diagnose issues with a twin cylinder engine.

Briggs are hiding something even from their own technicians.

Fuel tank might weigh more than a 750kg class chipper tho.
