Thinking about this, why would a fuse on the ignition switch kill the engine when the machine was already running?

No pull start on this one Will, but if it’s the oil float switch it wouldn’t start anyway.

We haven’t got that far yet Duncan, but it’s something else to look at. Thank you. E stop and battery terminals already checked, but I’m sure it’s not a battery issue.

They are inferior. I’ve had sex with gays and Steve, and he’s much better.

You smoking too much, blood.

Try Norwegian words.

Job going well on a lime rj, came down to have a chip up to keep the deck clear. TW160 fired up on the button, choke in, revs up, walked round to start chipping and before I could engage stop bar and press green the engine just cut, as if the emergency stop had been activated. No one anywhere near it. Bollocks, I thought, fuel has run out. Chucked in a few litres of E5 but noticed it wasn’t empty. Went to restart, dead dead. Not a click. Nothing. Digital hour clock comes on, that’s it. Recent new battery, so I doubt it’s that. Jumped it with a power pack, nothing. There’s an idiot switch activated by the blade change panel, that seems to be clicking fine. All I could think of is low oil (and I’ll admit it is overdue an oil service). The Honda GX690 has a float switch which kills everything if the oil level falls below a minimum level to prevent engine damage. Dipstick didn’t reveal much, possibly low, but they are pretty shit and not very accurate. I added about 0.5l of 5W-30 because I didn’t have any 10W-30 to hand, but still nothing. Is it possible for the float switch to get stuck, and where is it? I’m doing an oil dump, oil filter change, and added exactly the right amount of 10W-30 tomorrow or Monday, but after that I’m lost. Any input from TW160 owners or mechanically minded Arbtalkers welcome. Thank you to Greenplant who are only ever a phone call away for sage and free advice on the phone, as always. Day ran out before South African Dave could suggest any other tricks I could try, and my go-to man Danny Brennan was out on site. Job competed, my mate Von rocked up with his TW230 and it was Stella o’clock in time to get me home for tea.

Doobin and I discussed fabbing up a rake but reckoned by the time you’d bought the steel and tines you wouldn’t be a lot better off than just buying one.

Very Doug. Victory snatched from a defeatist start!

Thanks mate. Pretty sure it’s not ‘Take the fluff off with a Stihl HS82 back to 12ft’!

My mates Dad is in Peterborough. Apparently he has 100m of conifer hedge that needs reducing to 12ft. I know, I know, but apparently he wants to keep it as a wind break. He’s had a quote for a few grand based on 5 guys for a few days. I can’t see anything wrong with that (I wouldn’t want to do it either). Access is apparently really good, so I told my mate he might be better off getting a machine in, either a flail or shear depending on current size of the trees. Can anyone recommend anything like that in the Peterborough area? Thanks.

Thanks for the heads-up on the Stag rake William, I didn’t know they did one. I prefer the Klou one with the barrel you can use without unhitching the grab, but the Stag one is about half the price!

Why are you all hating AI you bastardguys? I much money for your corporation I for you can make. Thank you please and have a lovely day and night!

Absolutely Dave. It might swing the vote for the undecided.

The irony is that all this has probably secured an election victory for Trump.

I can’t believe you’re actually asking the question.

Gutted, but the best team in the tournament won the tournament. Well done Spain.
