I'll not sleep properly until Jase tells us. I told you all I was scarred by the whole Efi episode, well I actually had a nightmare this week. I dreamed I was on a job in town and the Evo suddenly went haywire. When I opened the bonnet up, inside was a Vanguard Efi. I was terrified! Then people from my memories, dealers, mechanics, clients, other arb guys, friends, Greenmech haters kept coming up to me laughing and pointing. I was naked but for a T'shirt and a pair of boots.
-
I transpires, all these Efi running issues are down to a batch of faulty bonnet catch sensors right?
-
Whatapp him!

Well? Friday tomorrow. This isn't France you know...
-
Wake him up!

ECU changed and the machine runs as it should or not as of tonight? So pointing a finger at the problem, what would you say it was?
-
What about changing the ECU? That was the only part not changed with mine. Any number of software updates changed nothing. It was clearly goosed.
-
@Shaunpaul Is it fixed yet? I giddy with anticipation! @Jase hutch @PeteB

Reminds me of an ancient thread involving a foot spa...

16 hrs! You in the outback of Australia or County Kerry? I wish I had known before buying a machine with a Briggs Efi that dealer support was not only thin in the ground but the domain of comedians, clowns and incompetents.
-
Thank you for posting. It must be humiliating for dealers not to be able to easily diagnose issues with a twin cylinder engine. Briggs are hiding something even from their own technicians.

I saw on Instagram he'd visited the factory and been lent that new turntable model in the meantime. I've a buyer as of tonight for mine. It might be gone in a week or so. Local groundscare company, friend of a friend. Tested it out yesterday evening. I'm putting new tyres on and bunging in a boxed set of Rotatech blades I was once gifted but never used. Mixed feelings about letting it go. I like having a backup chipper sitting ready to go scarred as I am by the whole Efi episode. However, the Evo continues to be reliable so having a second machine depreciating away whilst costing insurance seems unnecessary.

@Shaunpaul Any updates?

My current B20 has 2 pairs of 'lead teeth' which wear faster than the other 2 pairs. I've really no idea what the benefit of this with only 4 pairs on a wheel.

Thank you all for your replies. I recall the time I took a 400euro tophandle saw which was just out of warranty into a dealer for a tune and came out with a 280euro bill for a new carb. I'm happy to try fiddling and if I screw up, just buy a fresh carb. Question, why don't small engines have fuel filters? Answers on a postcard please and the winner recieves a Crack a Jack pencil or pen. Stuart

Anyone know the UK price of the new B21? Cheers Stuart
-
Who are you anyway and what the f**k do you know about engines....? 😁 Thank you, I'll give it a wang and buy a carb off Amazon as a back up to my butterfingered efforts.

Hello, My FSI B20 grinder has a Honda GX390 engine. Recently it has begun to struggle under load, coughing sooty exhaust and difficulty picking up, as though the choke is part on. I've ordered a fresh air filter, checked the carb bowl for muck (clean) It starts well enough, ticks over as usual, just bogs down under load. Any pointers appreciated. Regards Stuart
-
Waiting for the arb student to finish the trunk so I can get in with the walnut stump. 30min bang on plus prep and clean up. The engine has now 180hours and is now stuttering at high revs. Aside from the air filter which is recent and clean, what else might be causing this? A carb clean out? No fuel filter on these which I feel is an error given the environment.

He clearly thought it was empty and a contributory factor to the engines problem.

First I thought there was no hydraulic oil at all looking at the level. So I opened it and found the tank full to the brim. That would have made an expensive mess on a clients tarmac drive had I gone out on a job. 5 litres or more I siphoned out.
-
Oh, he even changed the hydraulic oil and this he charged me for. Which was nice.
-
I couldn't have expressed it better myself. This is what the mechanic was doing to mine. Only electronic part not replaced was the ECU.
