New 365 Lasted 10 Mins...

[moorhead]

Well, I got my new 365 on Friday. It was a pig to start straight off. When I finally got it going, it cut four 12" rounds before stalling. Started again, eventually, with a buzzing from the muffler. Loss of power, bogged, stalled. When I went to start it again, the starter was seized solid.

 

Took it back to the dealer first thing this morning. They managed to free the starter but the thing's dead as a doornail. Replacement on the way...

I'd been going to put my 266xp (very tidy, starts easily, running perfectly) on gumtree,

Absolutely atrocious if exactly as described.
