    The one that applies the chain brake band.

    Could be just the control spring.Just done one on a MS170 whose owner was using the chainbrake rather than adjusting the idle screw.

    It's only a 3/8" port,not ideal for a pressure free return,but a 35 doesn't have a big pump.

    2.2.2. Parking braking devices 2.2.2.1. The parking brake with which the trailer or semi-trailer is fitted must be capable of holding the laden trailer or semi-trailer stationary, when separated from the drawing vehicle, on an 18 % up or down gradient. The force applied to the control must not exceed 60 kgf. From European Directive 71/320/EEC It says up or down

    Does your carving bar have a nose sprocket ? You could run 1/4" chain with a powermate sprocket and rim on that saw.

    H.An emergency breakaway cable must be fitted to the parking brake linkage and the other end clipped or fixed round some fixture on the towing vehicle so that, in the event of the trailer becoming detached from the towing vehicle, the cable will apply the parking brake automatically, before snapping itself. It is not recommended to loop the cable round the towball. (But do so if there is no alternative attachment point.) It is a separate offence not to use the breakaway cable provided. Taken from NTTA - Trailer maintenance.

    Its called a breakaway cable because it will apply the handbrake and then break. Its is not designed to keep the trailer attached to the towing vehicle.

    Imagine this scenario. Its 3.45pm your towing your fully laden trailer up the hill in the middle of your town and the pavements are full of young mothers and schoolchildren. You drive over a raised pedestrian crossing and your trailer comes off the hitch.Fortunately your breakaway cable is attached and activates the handbrake. Will your wheel chocks save any lives ? No,you haven't got time to put them in.

    It would be possible to over adjust the brakes so that the hand brake lever could not over centre and the energy store not able to take up the slack. Another possibility is the trailer builds up too much moment, in the short distance required to activate the auto reverse and the brakes not able to hold it back.Hence the suggestion to reverse towing vehicle back with the trailer handbrake on before uncoupling the trailer.

    68 cc,non XP with a large mount bar. 365 really is the closest but ADW's suggestions would be better.

    Yep looks like ash to me.

    We have established that as the trailer rolls back ,with the handbrake on ,the auto reverse mechanism on the rear shoe operates,effectively releasing the brakes. If the handbrake has been correctly applied,the energy store is in the overcentre position. When the auto reverse feature releases the brakes , the spring in the energy store extends,appling more pressure to the brakes,and you will see the handbrake lever go up some more. You should have been eating humble pie with your coffee.

    Handy tool!

    "Since 1989 it has been a legal requirement that trailer brakes are of the auto reverse type. The auto reverse mechanism, inside the brake, senses when the trailer is going backwards and the normal forward braking mechanism is overridden. One of the features auto reversing brakes include is that the handbrake mechanism must have an energy store fitted to ensure efficient braking when the trailer is at rest." Quote from Indespension. So to answer Steve's original question - its poor maintenance or adjustment.
  21. C.J
    O.K I've had a little read. If the handbrake is partially applied,they will work going forward but not in reverse. Since 1989 trailer brakes must be fitted with an "energy store". When the handbrake is fully raised the energy store overcentres and locks the brakes so it won't go forward or back.
  22. C.J
    No Dean is wrong. If the trailer is not attached to a tow ball ,the over run mechanism will have no affect either way.(unless very badly maintained or adjusted)
  23. C.J
    Agreed There is a leading shoe and a trailing shoe in each drum so handbrake will work in either direction.

    You must be comparing a KM90R with a KM130. The KM130 has metal " bike handle bars " instead of a plastic loop. The KM130R is only 0.1kg heavier than the KM90R. I stiil bought a KM56 rather than a 4mix.

    Or the bearing needs greasing
