Is my trusted 044 Dead?

[Andy R]

I'm going to speak to him later, I'll ask. I'm not sure how much work he wants. He sells firewood, does some forwarding, fencing etc. and fixes saws.

 

If he would accept saws in the post then he could get a lot of work. He orders parts through the nearby stihl dealer that he works for, then I pay them for the parts so I reclaim the vat and only pay him for labour, folding!

 

My two 020's cost £56.00 total inc parts, that for both, not each, one nearly got thrown in the skip and the other was heading for the parts dept.

 

ok, let us know, cheers. Ours will only end up on the scrap pile I expect but last time we had it working it was fine...

Do you think its a carb problem? If so he'll fix it!

pretty sure it is yes, tried retuning it several times but to no avail...spark is fine.

Where are you based? I'm thinking sending saws in the post may not be a good idead?

[Andy R]

worcestershire, 10mins from tewkes..25mins from chelt.

Oh, ok! Thats easy, you could drop it to me (meet at M5 junction if necessary, but I'm only 2 miles further, and I'll take it to him when I go get my 044. Easy.

[Andy R]

sounds good...let me know when you are next dropping some saws off and I'll pop it over. Cheers

I'll be collecting my 044 probably next week, I'm away next weekend and doubt I'll get to him before then (he lives in a shed in middle of nowhere) so possibly not till the weekend of sept 6/7th.

 

Anytime you want to bring it over before then though, evenings, as I'm not working in chelt for a while, I'll be furhter south so not back here till 6 ish most evenings. Today if you want to get it over with! I might even be able to go see him and then colllect yours and mine at the same time in about two weeks?

[Andy R]

can't do it today as it's at our lockup and I'm going fishing in a minute , will dig it out during the week, bring it home and give you a shout about the best time to come over.

Ok, no worries.
