Even if they were open, there's not many places you can get a pint fot £3.50 [emoji1787]

Thanks for the help, an arbtalk link popped up on fb, so followed it and now registered on the tip site and drink paid [emoji106]

Thing is if I remove arbtalk from tapatalk, then click on a google link it opens arb in tapatalk!

Thankyou, the problem is, whenever I try to open in web view, it tried to divert default to the tapatalk app & closes, same with a google search.

Thread hijack, could someone point me to the arbtalk tip site section please. I have looked through thecsub sections to no avail, viewing on tapatalk btw. Ta, Phil

Nah, the wife won't let me!

Also check out Smith & Allan (based in Darlington but do mail order and some listed on ebay ), I've been using their oils for decades (agriculture, motorbikes & car/van). Good stuff at a good price, unfortunately their website isn't the best.

I'd jump at that if you were closer. For those offering £150/day for a semi skilled contentious grafter give me a shout (N.Yorks/Cleveland).

Yes, after the dirty fuel episode & been temperamental since. Actually, I ran it for 15 mins or so yesterday and all ok but drawing lots of air today for some reason!

The air is drawing from the carb when the bulb is released but no fuel/bubbles flow back towards the carb (only flow towards the tank) when the primer bulb is pressed so it to be working correctly

A slow release of the pump no/little air, fast release =lots of air. Numerous pumps make no difference, one or two slow pumps makes it air free again. Must be the carb then, I just wanted confirmation that I'm not missing something obvious.

Yes but they appear good & are tight onto the carb stubs, I have trimmed a bit off tge ends. No air is drawn into the carb via the tube from the tank but air is coming out of the stub that goes to the bulb when the bulb is released.

Doubt it nipped up, engine starts and runs sweet, the problem appears to stem from air being drawn into the carb.

The stubs are different sizes, fuel tube from the tank flows into the uppermost stub on the carb. The tube that flows from carb to primer bulb is a smaller diameter and is half way down the carb. Pic of actual carb attached. I have owned the saw from new, ~10 years, it has done very little (occasional home use) and was spot on until the neighbour used it & put bad fuel in it a couple of years ago. I'm suspecting a poor quality (ebay) carb kit but want to eliminate other issues first

When cold, yes the primer bulb is fairly full & the saw runs fine. When hot (say after 5 or 10 mins cutting) the saw will bog/cut out, primer bulb struggles to pull fuel & the saw won't run but is ok again when cold.
