I cut a socket with the angle grinder to make one to get the clutch off my 135, it's definitely easier if they have a hex boss.

We lit ours last night for the first time this Autumn and thankfully it didn't explode.
-
Round here they if they pick it up and bag it they hang it on a convenient hawthorn, usually 3 yards from the bin put there for dog crap.
-
No.

You might get someone interested if you mention how much you want to pay.?

My 044 is like that, you have to start it from cold by standing on the handle and with a bit of conviction. Once it's warm you can start it fairly easily. My 036 is easy in comparison, neither have decomp buttons.

Mine's been as good as gold till the other day, runs on Aspen and can't explain what happened to stop it working but it's spot on again now. I can't complain for what it cost me and I've had it a few years now.

If the world's ended it won't matter about the future generations, I say use the oil and damn the consequences. As long as it pumps through it will be ok.

One good tug and a smack in the nads for your trouble, good start to the job

25cc Chinese top handle, never let me down before but today I nearly pulled my shoulder out trying to start it. Checked the spark plug and put a bit of fuel down the hole and it fired so carb off and cleaned out and still no joy. It's a simple job to whip the carb off so repeated the procedure and checked the metering arm this time raising it a touch. Put it back together and away it went third pull and cutting like a good un.

Carb probably needs looking at, usually first thing on the list. You don't have a location in your profile but if you were near another member they might be able to help. You can get a new Zama carb from China for about £10 if you are not in too much of a hurry or a service kit from a nearer supplier. Did you have any old fuel left in the saw which has probably gummed it up ?

Finish it off eggs, opinions are like arseholes everyone has one and everyone else's stinks.
-
What is the reset procedure for the 261, just run it on fast idle for 90 seconds without touching the throttle ?
-
Willow will grow from a twig stuck back in the ground. If the roots are near the surface they will probably produce suckers. I would say do the job then deal with any regrowth if and when it happens.

Something to make me look clever.

I was cutting a tall hawthorn hedge once and was suddenly blinded by loads of greenfly. I let go with one hand to swipe them away from my face and the trimmer swung round and pinched me on the thigh. I was wearing ordinary bib and brace over jeans and it didn't cut me but I had a big V shaped bruise where it nipped and it was painful for days.
-
Cutting with one hand and moving the bucket at the same time, he's my hero. ?
-
Why is he using a top handle saw in a mewp basket ?
-
We've had rain and 9.0° overnight and it's a bit overcast now. It was 24° on the back yard yesterday afternoon
-
Please tell us you didn't do that just to get a date ?
-
Sounds like it's not fuelling properly. If it's still under warranty at 6 months take it in and get it looked at. If it's down to you get the carb off and clean the fuel filter out and check the metering arm and diaphragm. Give it all a blow out and some carb cleaner through it.
-
Weight a bit their eggs, what you inferring? And the tree looks fine, just a few dead branches to take out if you feel so inclined.
-
What do you mean by that ? I know a few scaffolders and one of them can even write his own name.
-
Bill is recommending the Makita DUC355Z I think.
-
Give it to someone with no sense of smell who needs to get rid of some weeds.
