She did very well and picked it up very quickly.  She made herself a “steampunk” coat hook. It’s good when younger people want to learn practical skills.

I have a Husqvarna 181 SE which had been run on a 40:1 mix before I got it. It had been well drained of fuel and oil before being sent to me. It took a bit of pulling over to get it to fire and then when I started it on half choke it fired and died unless given some throttle. It cuts well on full throttle with no bogging down. Would it need carb adjustment to run on the 50:1 mix I am using or is it likely to be something else? :001_smile:

Probably just needs a bit if carb adjustment or possibly a good carb clean and new carb kit!
