solenoid was running for a about 5 minutes time id got back with a spanner

Using an old zetor yesterday, long story short !

kept cutting out due to a fuel fault so was cranking for a while till it fired up.

would not start but( i think the solenoid) was still spinning even with the key out

had to whip battery lead off,bit of a spark !

i dont want to put lead back on as i have heard the battery could explode, leads were very hot by the time i got back with a spanner.

any thoughts , is the starter knackered or more of an electrical fault from start button?

this wasnt exactly a long story short really was it lol

cheers mike

25mm down to 12mm feather edge,200mm board with 25mm overlap, 450mm max centres on your framework, probably not the cheapest route but will last a good while, belt and braces go 300mm centres on framework

if your going to buy a saw off ebay price a new pot and piston as well because 50% of saws sold on the bay are scrap. Some basic ebay translations to remember "ran fine but won't start now" is ebay for scrap, "selling for a friend" means scrap, "not running right, may be easy fix" means scrap, "running rough may just need a service" means scrap. Unless they clearly state that the saw is in good working order and offer a returns policy, avoid unless your getting it for peanuts and can cover the cost of replacement parts. If your looking for a hobby grade saw i'd buy a new husky 135, 40cc, 14" bar, and you might get a few years warranty if its for home owner use. But if your thinking "i could get a used pro grade saw for the same money on ebay" remember most pro grade saws are bought by professionals, and professionals don't often sell the tools of their trade until they have razzed the life out of them!

Spot on mate:thumbup1:

My land cruiser has failed its mot on welding

There is quite a few holes etc, my garage reckon it could be £2000 worth

Need a second opinion i think

Can anyone recommend a good car welder southampton/winchester area

Cheers

im a husky man through and through, but i always have stihl hedgecutters,

glad you now have it sorted out mate

Hi all

Apologies if this is in wrong catagory

im after a ford ranger etc /terrano swb cheap as chips to smoke around in

Mot preferred,nothing too beat up but dont mind doing some minor bodywork, nothing clapped out but will consider what you have

let me know if anyone has got anything within 100 miles ish of southampton

A lot to ask but you never know, cash waiting

cheers

mike

do you mean the ali screw together sets, ill ask my mate if he wants to sell his set as he dosent use them now, 4, 5 foot ish poles, secateur head , saw blade and hook

I have had several strimmers/brushcutters that had same problems, took out spark arrestor in the exhaust,cured the problem straight away, but i run normal 2 stroke and not aspen, but worth a checking

Take fuel pipe off at carb and blow back into tank with cap off, also check that fuel line isnt getting hot and evaporating fuel before it gets to carb

ps, not giving them away,£2 each

used to have an old jonsered gr50 and now have the new 2145,worlds apart for vibes and fuel consumption,used to use a 240r, built like a tank

i have jonsered 2145 which is the same as a husky 345,cracking machine, cant comment on stihl brushcutters as i only use stihl hedge cutters and blowers, everyone is raving about echo at the moment,

looks great, are you going to triangulate the uprights as it is quite high ?

i run a husky 525, great strimmer,and as you say the lowest vibes in its class,jonsered 2145 for the heavy stuff and a husky 128 as back up machine, that being said the 525 will happily work in 2 foot long grass all day, thirsty little bugger tho, but dosent have a very big fuel tank .

I will have 158 used rails coming off a job soon, they have been up about 5 years i would say,all ended and about 8 foot long, send me a pm for more details, ps would have to be collected from southampton

Cheers

If true C3 need to kick C1 as hard as he can in the balls for free.

ha ha , i like that:thumbup:

dandrikop (dla engine parts)on ebay, ive bought a few meteor kits from him, good seller,stuff always arrives and as described

my lucky barsteward bargain was a mint husky 2101 xp for wait for it...............£200,new 30" bar and chain too

ive got a jonsered 2188, cracking saw,same as a 390xp

Echo seem to be the way to go at the moment,or dolmars

Long story short

Site i look after had to have a wild flower area as part of planning (site has been open 1 year exactly)

New owner wants me to cut it down now because the grass is very long and there are hardly any wild flowers

Question is , can you be fined ie the contractor, for cutting it down before it has flowered ?

I told the new owner that he could get in trouble with the council for cutting it down and he said oh ill give them some guff about it needing reseeding.

Any advice as to where i stand

Cheers

Mike
