Look like they smoke a fair bit. What happens when you need parts?

thats prob me overdoing the oil mix, but using both for around 4 hours no headaches, which is more than can be said when using a smoker on rats

 

(Im a full time pestie)

 

as for parts, if it lasts a couple of years I'll be happy, for £80 I aint got to worry to much, some stuff we leave hidden in the woods, if it happened to go walkies, Id prefer it be £80 than £200 plus

to doobin it came recommended by a stihl engineer as it so happens and takes the same parts as stihl fs90 he told me its the same apart from the name printed on it and the box ain't as fancy

 

Sthil FS90 is 0.95kw says this one is 2.2kw on ebay also its alot heavier

I no thats what i said but he insists its same and he knows more thn me

The FS90 is a 28cc 4-mix engine, how can anyone seriously think the parts will interchange with a Chinese 52cc 2 stroke? They are as different as pork and cabbages.

 

Not knocking the cheap machine, at that price if it works then its fine, but you will struggle when it breaks down, and believe me, it will break down.

You gotta start somewhere. I am after a blower and long reach hedge trimmers. Even second hand stihl is out of my price range so I think I am going to have to start off with tanaka and hopefully by time it is dead I can afford echo or husky (not too keen on chinese stihl)
