Using the 550 at work today and was chasing a willow stem through and the saw just stopped dead, had been running fine all day. On inspection it has a good spark but no fuel is getting through to the cylinder. The fuel pipes on top of the carb look ok but I can’t guarantee that then haven’t got a small split. In the fuel tank the pipe is all attached and the fuel filter pickup is at the bottom of the tank. What should be the first thing I look at and or change? Many thanks in advance

As above but consider a Terram style liner as an addition depending on your soil type, will stop your aggregate migrating into the soil and future sinking. I had always used larger hardcore to a depth of at least 200mm and then capped with type one, usually cheaper to do it like that 👍

That took me a minute to get that one 🙈

I’d be tempted to try a tirfor and see if you can barrel roll it from the base to get it down

Please help identify small tree in my garden!

Definitely Viburnum tinus, have always found that they smell really bad after they have been cut back, and attacked by the beetle -
I’ve got one of those in my box 🙈 I thought they were just rounded off so they couldn’t be adjusted. I’ll be putting it on tomorrow. Thanks for that 👍

I have an old fs90 strimmer that had that the primer bulb wasn’t working. Narrowed it down the the piston pump o ring inside the carb but couldn’t seem to source one anywhere, even the complete kit and none of my o rings were small enough. Ordered a Chinese carb from l&s and it looks good apart from the high and low adjustment screws have no slots. Anyone have a good work around or is it just cut straight along with dremel? Or will long nose pliers be up to the job of adjustment? i would not have gone down the Chinese carb but I’m no longer self employed and the strimmer only cuts my own lawn edges so not worth throwing loads of money at. Thanks in advance 👍

Pfanner arborist, worth every penny 👌

All above advice is very good. Has it got the sensor/switch under the hopper like the tracked ones? If so check that. Also make sure that ignition is all the way on, if the one at work slips back slightly ours has similar symptoms to yours until you turn the key all the way round

Have you tried standing in the trailer and with strop on the grinder head and pulling the grinder up that way, that’s how I find it easiest

Sealskin socks are great, as are chainsaw boots for a year at least if they are looked after, I asked a few years back on here about boots when they stopped making the caterpillar Sheffield boots and was recommended the Dewalt titanium. They are very good boots, waterproof easy to keep clean and you can get them from Screwfix. Don’t confuse them with other Dewalt boots, these are nearly £100 and are waterproof. Very comfortable from the off too 👍

I thought it was just classed as over 380mm these days

Drive belt keeps snapping HAYTER CONDOR !
Husqvarna King replied to Lukeyhowell's topic in Maintenance help
Are the belts tightened/adjusted with an idler pulley? If so make sure you’re using mower belts that are designed to be tightened from the back (outside) of the belt as apposed to machine belts which run straight up and down through the v. These are cheaper and some mower sellers would put one on just to sell the machine. Also check that the pulleys are in line, so the belt is running true and bearings ok. -
Another vote for scag 👍

I bought the red bulldog wheel clamp for my chipper, they seemed to have the best reviews. Make sure you get the correct size for your wheel. I also had a ground anchor and the heaviest hardened chain (£280 for 3metres and that was several years ago) I went through the anchor around the RSJ in the barn and through the drawbar and axel on chipper. It was a real pain in the arse but helped me sleep at night

I’ve seen them with free gills…. At least I thought they were sulphur tuft
