The joys of dealership!

I sold a JD ride-on in August to a chap 20 miles away.

 

He phones this week complaining it wont start. It stopped whilst he was using it.

 

I ran through the obvious things, petrol etc. He said he first thought it had run out of petrol so he went out and bought a gallon. When he took the cap off there was still some fuel but he put more in anyway. Still would not start.

 

So he is not happy, he says it has to be a fault with the machine and I have to fix it, which of course I am happy to do. So sent the van driver to collect it.

 

When it arrives in the yard I try to start it but the battery is flat by this time. Put the jump pack on and it still does not fire. I check the tank and there is about half an inch of petrol in the tank, not reaching the pick up point!

 

Put a gallon in and try again. Fine. I phone the guy and tell him, ask him why he did not put more fuel in. He says he did not put too much in as he did not want to waste it if it was not the problem.

 

So we take it back and charge him but he pays reluctantly. Only charged him £50... includes 80miles, 3 hrs pay for van driver and 5litres of petrol, and he thinks its too much as it should be warranty:001_rolleyes:

One wonders how many other things he believes ought to be in warranty. Perhaps he believes his brain has a 10min. lifespan and he wants to go to the grave with a few secs. to spare. Just enough to utter, "Hey. But I still ha..."

Is this saw a MS260? is the small steel washer that slides on the crankshaft before the worm gear in place?

Bit of a 200t niggle that has been bugging me a little bit.

 

I've had a few (almost all) 200t saws with the half choke not working. Now I know this is because of the plastic trigger. So a question. Has anyone every thought of having a metal trigger made up for them.

 

I'm thinking of visiting my local fabricator with a trigger and seeing if they could cast one up. I know this would also wear the white part of the linkage away. But am I just goin crazy? And is it really worth it for a 3 quid part.

You could have one cut from ally with a CNC, rich, and being as it would be fairly soft it'd last a fair bit of time
