Got an FS90 in bits on my floor. Avoid. Buy something Japanese. Tanaka Echo Kawasaki
-
Lol. Surgent.
-
Buy Ryobi at your peril. I stopped buying their junk over ten years ago, because it's all crap.
-
Not that I can help you, with time running out I'd try googling tree surgeons in the local area and explain your plight. Good luck.
-
Agreed. Kick it to death and buy a Makita. I'm not defending Stihl anymore on here...(see my MS391 thread). Makita all the way!
-
Wicked Rich ..so how would I unstuck it?
-
Sorry I can't help Shaves, I came here expecting to see a picture of your extensive brood lol! Choka-bloke-checking-out.

Magnets are the arch enemy of computer hard drives. I would not stick ANY magnets to my computer case. Maybe your repair man is trying to drum up some trade like the tyre garages who scatter screws in the road near their estate. (Allegedly)

Looks like something from the remake of the Texas Chainsaw massacre, and in my hands would probably result in lots of dismembered body parts. My own!

Which makes and models have the best carbs and most reliable engines GardenKit? My low hours Stihl is playing up after a winter lay off (no drive to shaft) My Kawasaki (Kaaz Danarm VF500) seems ok despite the bloody Portek Rebel head being stuck on (can't replace line, can't get the bugger off!!) I'm now going for the Makita 43cc MM4 model.

Anyone got any thoughts on the Makita 43cc 4 stroke Vibes same as my Kaaz Danarm (little lower in fact) and similar money to the Stiga. I may or may not have one of these in my collection soon �� http://www.radmoretucker.co.uk/category/Petrol_Brushcutters/product/Makita_EM4351UH_MM4Stroke_Petrol_Brushcutter/?gclid=CNOeq_Ht680CFZEy0wodAjAPHA

2-stroke engine - glass cylinder

My first 'brushcutter' had a glass cyclinder. Or at least it lasted as long as I'd expect one to. -
Not sure, think it may be the clutch. Took the power head off and turned the (solid square) drive shaft by hand and the spline on the 'business end' rotates freely. Carefully inserted the drive shaft back into the PH and tightened. Rev it and nothing rotates.

Fair enough! I've got an FS90 which has just stopped working (no drive to gear head). It's nice being 4-mix but feels lacklustre compared to the 46cc Kawasaki. I'm tempted by the Stiga, but just keep holding off for some reason.
-
Any regrets Richard? I too looked at these but the vibes are very high for a machine billed as 'anti vibe'. My Kaaz Danarm 45cc Kawasaki has a similar look but half the vibes. 2.1 and 2.0.
