Messed about with it tonight, cut my grass with it and when it was hot it wasn't right......image.jpg.0ef228a3a96265b83e2ff874e316f9c7.jpg

:blushing: I only looked in the inlet side when I got it, think the cause of the problem was a split it the cylinder gasket

Finally put my jonsered 2083 back together with a new stihl 066 meteor piston that had been modified. The cylinder cleaned up nice and didn't have any bits left over when I had finished so will try her out tomorow. I didn't did out the cause of the seize I'm hoping it was neat petrol. And I am too impatient to wait to get it pressure and vac tested so wish me luck

Next door brought a strimmer for me to look at last year and it wouldn't fire. I put some fuel down the plug and pulled it over and it ran but was clattering nicely till the added fuel ran out. I took the plastic off and pulled and the bolts were loose and the piston was lifting the pot up and down with it. I tightened them down and it fired straight away and ran nicely. This had been to a garden machinery centre to be looked at and they charged him £30 to tell him it was broken and had made no effort to fix it.
