i need to do this on my old husky 238 as i cant get moulded line

i would be interested in the pull start,is it a g4k ?

my ranger only 28 mpg at best with at tyres and driving with slippers on,vauxhall brava/isuzu low pressure diesels are kind on fuel but will not win races at the lights,but they are workhorses not race horses

old school rules ok, 254/262/266, now you can put awesome in the same sentance with these old bad boys:thumbup1::thumbup1:

me too, can get by with those basic tools eh, but nice to have nail guns etc:thumbup1:

i would love to add one of those to my tool kit

dont forget your string line,spirit level,chain/hand saw etc, and make yourself a plywood compartment box with carry handle for all your nails,staples etc, as time goes on you will end up with loads of useful bits and pieces cluttering up your toolbox lol

havent tried the blades out yet, still waiting for my bill, but was 709.00 before my dealer discount

Hope this allowed,thought i do a little review on my latest purchase. As title Good points Good balance and weight good power 45cc,quick acceleration Decomp button,primer and chunky choke switch Auto return stop switch Bad bits Harness takes a lot of fiddling to get it comfortable and in right working position Tap and go head is pants,needs the S 11 head for serious work. Grass guard is a bit cumbersome. I have put about 12 hours on this brushcutter and find it a very capable machine, and once you have set the harness up properly , it is very comfortable to use and have good control over the machine. Blasts through the tough stuff with no problems but tap head tends to snag the ground if you try to get a neat finish on lower grass, the guard does its job well but i find it a bit to big, just my opinion. Nice quiet machine with plenty of power. Hope this helps if anybody is thinking about buying one Cheers Mike

everybody gets the pee taken when they are starting out, the golden rivet was my first pee take when i was 16, then used it on younger lads when i was older,along with the long weight (wait) by the workshop, and sparks for the grinder etc, just a laugh, nothing more

:thumbup:

That may need steel rods tho,i always do mine 45 cm centres to a depth twice the depth of material,no slippage of material this way

:lol:

i always face mine north,something to do with climate change,at least thats what someone told me

pull choke out and put back in and she starts fine, i call it half throttle, its fast idle as you say, cheers mate

well i used the 385 in anger yesterday on some oak and ash, runs great,just need to put half throttle on for restarting,happy days

may be one for you to get your teeth into, i know you like a challenge !!
