    Ok thats fair . I only had one Honda 21" mower and the drive was pants . Never did collecting cutting and the only other mowers I have had were Hayter Ospreys . Real old school . The last one had a B+S 8.5hp motor and used to drag me all over the place !

    Not watched the vid but my limited expedience of Honda mowers in the past is that the engines were good but the drive system was over complicated and weak . A Hyter with a Honda engine was a better bet .

    Good old Jon !

    That's the problem with the "plastic " £5 note , when you inadvertently wash it it shrinks and comes out as £ 2:50 .

    I like you have on the bench a 395XP a 390Xp a 372Xp a 560XP a 346XP a 242XP and a T540 . All with fuel in them that get used infrequently now but when pulled fire up with no problems .

    I agree with what you say but you are not quoting the OP so we don't know if they are putting a kettle on the stove in the pic .

    This is the same for me as I am retired from cutting now . Only difference is I use the Husqvarna version .

    You notice I refered to any alkylate fuel not one specific make .
  16. Stubby
    Ok once again . The pump fuel attacks the rubber removing the coating that is there to keep the rubber soft and supple . This is a slow process and because the rubber is being attacked it stays supple . Alkylate fuels wont attack the rubber . So , if you use a saw with alkylate fuel from the get go you will have no problems ( and cleaner engine internals ) If you switch to an alkylate fuel after years of pump fuel the rubber components become brittle and break down Because the coating has been removed and the alkylate fuel not attacking it . . This is the alkylate fuel showing up what the pump fuel has done . That's why it is some times prudent to change out the rubber before switching to alkylate fuel .

    I am going back possibly 20 years now but a farmer next to me grew a few acres of flaxc/linsead . I asked him why he did not harvest it and he told me he had got the subsidy and it was more economic to plough it back in .
