I appreciate that this is seven years later, but can I ask where you got that metal clip from. I have broken the plastic tab on the upper handle, and when I pull the trigger, the throttle linkage moves out of it's housing. I can order another upper handle replacement part, but the plastic is a bit naff and prone to snapping.

It looks like it's leaking from underneath. Eg, need to replace the oil hose.

Ok, thanks. You've given me some pointers.

So I purchased a saw off FB and buy the time I got home, the mat in the car footwell had a considerable amount of oil leaking. It's obviously chain oil, but given how much leaked out in one hour, I suspect the tank will be empty by morning. Is there anything that could be obvious to look for. I can return the saw, but if it's something minor then I'll probably just hang onto it.

Main reason is that the Hyundai hedge cutter is not that great. Hyundai uses 9 spline configuration.

I’ll pass judgement at the weekend. I suspect it has far less vibration than the 50cc Hyundai engine it has replaced.

I fully concur with that statement. There are some great videos on YT of people demonstrating how **** the engines are. The comments are 😂 too.

I had to Google ‘Triggs Broom’ 😂

Just wanted to post a follow up. So I purchased a genuine Honda GX50 ST4 power unit and it swapped straight out with the crap Hyundai engine. The Honda is absolutely sweet! It feels like a Rolls Royce in comparison to the 2 stroke Hyundai. my next challenge is to see how I can change the clutch unit assembly and shaft so that I can use Stihl attachments.

So my plan is to swap out the Hyundai With

I think the Honda GX50 is the same. I can get a genuine engine, not one of the knock offs for £270

It's a spline style pattern as opposed to the square shaft of Stihl

Does anyone know whether there are any decent power units that are compatible with Hyundai attachments? I'm chucking the Hyundai in the skip as I'm tired of never being able to start it without it turning into a physical fitness session. I want to have the full setup of hedge cutter, pole saw and strimmer/brush cutter, but conscious that I'd easily spend £1500 to buy all of that in Stihl or other named brands. Hence the reason to try and reuse the attachments if possible.

They are utter **** I've hardly used mine and it's going in the skip. I have to use engine start to get it started. I gave up trying to start it today. You can't expect much for such a cheap price. I'm going to bite the bullet and get a Stihl.

Can someone advise as to when I can take down a lot of hedging and two large Cherry trees? I ideally would like to also find someone near Basingstoke who offers a shredder and operator service to shred down the hedging and tree branches and take away the vegetation. Just need to get the hedging down asap before the weather gets too wet and cold.
