This is the 2 stroke mix I used in the saw

That should melt that bottle ???

I looks really good colour aswel. I think I may have figured out what it was that knackered the saw. Think I put a bit of petrol in the tank then realised that it was petrol not 2 stroke then filled it up with mixed 2 stroke, instead of tipping the tank out and filling up fresh fuel. Very bad error on my part

Got a husky double can but didn't have it with me used 2 separate jerry cans labelled petrol and 2 stroke but pocked up the wrong one to start with

No cure for that. Perhaps it's time you moved to Eastbourne and took up knitting.

[simon@BGS]

Haha maybe an option

My 550xp began playing up last week. The chain turning slowly on idle which I identified as being a clutch spring failure. I purchased a set of three on eBay and now need to fit it. Can anybody please tell me do I need to remove the clutch to do this or can it be done in situ? It's a three shoe clutch.

Cheers

The clutch has to be removed prior to swearing at the new springs as you try to fit them

Haha, thank for the info Eddy! I'll probably be swearing prior to that trying to get the clutch off with hammer and pin ;-/

Two tpes of clutch on the 550 one with two claw type springs, and one with three small springs, useing a pair of long nose external circlip pliers will aid you fitting both types, you will need to remove the clutch to fit the springs.
