  1. To be honest,. Explaining that better now, is a lot more helpful. What you are stating would appear to be isolated to the recoil unit. My earlier comments to help, were on the understanding the flywheel without the recoil fitted would only move by hand less than a full revolution before it '"locked' again. Or maybe I read your original post incorrectly
  2. Gym membership is classified as a benefit. 'Being fit and strong' to do the job should be a pre-requisite upon employment, not something your staff need to work up to via a gym membership. If an employee has suffered an injury whilst in your employment, then on an individual basis you could argue gym membership to recuperate would not be a benefit, but a required medical course of action, but if that were so, then your insurance would/should cover that cost anyway.
  3. Flywheel not on correctly fouling the engine casing during rotation? Crank bearing failed or failing. Bent crank....causing clutch or flywheel to foul casing during rotation. Failed clutch drum bearing....again causing the drum to semi lock during rotation? Loose ignition coil causing fouling of the flywheel....particularly on the magnets during rotation
  4. Agree. Current cordless technology hasn't plateau'd yet, so expect quite expensive kit to be old tech very quickly. I certainly wouldn't be investing thousands in current cordless stuff, knowing in a few months or a year or so better, more advanced battery tech will be available. When cordless tech gets to a point the next big jump is ten years in future development, then thats probably the time to invest if thats the way you want to go. Your kit will stay more relevant for longer. But in that time, biofuels would have developed sufficiently, to be cheaper and more viable as an option as it will run in all existing and future engines and there is no emissions
  5. Seriously though.....whip out the plug and see it it pulls over normally. Take the muffler off and inspect condition of piston. Both easy first jobs
  6. It's a Titan I'm afraid. I know that's not much help.....but it's honest.
  7. No, that's fine. I see too many scored bores on a monday already, without confusing people even more.
  8. 'It doesn’t matter what it says' ....ok, fair enough if it doesn't matter
  9. Just read what it says in the workshop manual. It states.....can run on a 50:1 mix (Stihl OR any other manufacturers oil recommended to be diluted at 50:1) OR using their own 'Titan' oil at their recommended dilution ratio of 100:1 I know you didn't state Stihl...I was using that as an example of a recommended dilution ratio, that should NOT be diluted at any other ratio other than what Stihl stipulate...likewise the Titan 100:1 as mentioned in the manual Or are you suggesting you are using a 50:1 dilution ratio oil at a 100:1 dilution rate in it now? If so, that is half the oil it needs to give the required protection to your engine.
  10. This from their own workshop manual (which I have attached to an earlier post) mixing two-stroke oil (ratio 1:50) with TITAN 2T 100S 1:100 So yes, Stihl at 50:1 is fine, as is their own 'Titan' brand which is designed to be diluted at 100:1 So, I repeat, it is the oil manufacturers recommended dilution ratio that should be adhered to. If you ran Stihl 50:1 at 100:1 which the Titan oil is recommended to be diluted at, you would very quickly trash the engine. The dealer should know this.
  11. Seems a common fault with Husky chargers (sorry I am primarially a Stihl man- was a Husky main dealer way before this lithium ion stuff was even thought of!) However all electrical goods have by EU law got to be covered by a two year warranty- the UK signed up to this way before brexit, so don't worry it still applies. Won't help you understand why they keep failing, but will at least help you obtain a new unit- however if this second failure is already a replacement for the original one that failed and the date of the ORIGINAL sale is over the 2 years now, then you won't be covered.
  12. Mix shouldn't make any difference. It's the manufacturer of the oil that dictates the dilution ratio of their oil to give the best performance- not the engine. You can mix Stihl stuff at recommended 50:1 ratio and will go in any non marine 2-stroke. The engine won't know.
  13. OK. Happy to pay carriage to get it to me. On evri should be no more than £12 plus some packaging, so say £15? I assume you just want it to go to a new home that will appreciate it and look after it, rather than anything for it?
  14. All sounds very convoluted and an adhoc way of doing buisness (both ways) Nothing in writing I assume? Adide from a few texts either way? Not being privvy to the exact arrangement it is difficult to advise. Sound like lack of info and professionalism for this job on both sides.
  15. Since 2021 been owned by Ariens. This manual not the right one then? AS Motor 2 Stroke Engine (pdf | Manualzz MANUALZZ.COM
  16. Why not get on contact with AS motor? It's their machine and will have a technical dept...and they will have known service agents who they can give you details of.
  17. I remember watch jack on out of town when i was young. Learnt how to tie flies on a fishing line in one episode. Also remenber HOW with dineadge and jack., i dont recall graheme garden or cribbins in that though?
  18. pleasant

    HT75 price

    All depends 100% on condition...both mechanical and cosmetic. Pro use or domestic use etc. £150 for a reasonable one in full working order. Bit more if its immaculate with low hours
  19. I've got a load of pallets you can have
  20. South east mate
  21. £63 is a good price for 25L Oregon standard chain oil.
  22. Chains dont 'stretch' they bed in and wear-giving the impression they stretch. If they stretched in the true sense of the word, the rivets would fall out the joiners and it would come apart....and I've never seen that happen.
  23. Sorry mate....collection only. No shipping
  24. Yup.....we sell both Stihl Synth and the 'traditional' Oregon......Oregon the better seller once customers have tried both. It's good stuff.
