God bless you sir. No need to apologise for anything. It's a forum and everyone is entitled to their opinion. Take care.

I've added rubber washers in between the handle and body. It seems to reduce the vibration down a little.

Hi again. I think it's you that is misunderstood. Firstly, I'm not trying to be a trader. I have a day job. I merely see an opportunity and take advantage of it. In this case a cheap chainsaw. Secondly, In regards to the mechanics and integrity of the fixings, I'm fully aware of that but I've never really encountered any persistent problems with these saws. Lastly this forum is open to anyone regardless of what their chainsaw status is. You don't need to own a Husqvarna or Stihl to post on here. You seem to take it personally in regards to what I do with these saws. I just simply enjoy a project. I've fixed things from lawn mowers, circular saws and cars. Not really interested in making a buck as it's just beer money to me. You need to remember it was a Mr Dempsey that tried to be clever. My advice to you is to please do not take chainsaws too seriously. They all cut wood at the end of the day. Take care.

Sorry I hit a nerve. Can Mick not defend himself?. You and mighty Mick should probably get a room together ❤️ as your snobbery suits each other. Must pain you to think that other people don't necessarily need to own a Husky or Stihl. Send my 💋 kisses to Micky boy next time you see him lol. I'll stick to my cheap shit thank you very much. Never had one complaint yet. Never knew a forum where people get so bitchy about a bloody chainsaw ffs lol!. Get a life lol.

Is this the guy that your wife craves for due to what you lack in the trouser department? 😆.

Just fitted a brand new spark plug and the problem is solved. Thanks to everyone for their help including Mr Dempsey for his useless contribution as ever 😉.

All blokes with small appendages say that lol. Try asking my mate Dempsey 😆.
-
Certainly is. All thanks to the Dempsey household lol.

A small penis usually plugs small holes as you would know lol.

Follow your own advice and sling it in the skip.

Lol. Cheap chains on Ebay and yes cutting very close to the ground before I removed the stumps permanently 2 years later. 😁

Hi there. First of all please ignore the chainsaw snobs on here that criticise these cheap saws. If it's not a Husqvarna or Stihl, they think it's no good. Not everyone wants to spend Hundreds of pounds on a chainsaw. You obviously get what you pay for but I've used these saws over the years and they seem fine. You can pick up parts for these on Ebay and Amazon quite cheap. Yes, these saws seem to be quite generic and are rebadged quite often. I had a Gardenline saw which was rebadged as a Draper saw and Toolstation sold the same but under a different name. They're obviously not designed for industrial and professional use but for the home user they're good enough. I took down a dozen Silver Birch trees with an average trunk diameter of 1'/ 30cm with 3 chains no problem with a cheap saw. It still runs now. My philosophy is: Not everyone wears a Rolex as a watch to tell the time!. Spend what your budget allows you to.

I'll try that thanks.

Ok mate. Thanks.

Ok mate. Thanks again.

Cheers Will. I'll try that. I'm fully aware that this is a cheap saw. It's just a little project. Speaking of my mate Mick, I pulled a chainsaw out of a skip and changed the perished fuel lines which cost only £3 and sold it for £65. I went to a car boot last month and picked up 2 chainsaws for £8. One was a McCulloch and the other one from our far eastern friends. Got them both running. Sold them both for a combined price of £110. These saws may not be to people's liking on here but there's definitely a market for them and they will sell. I'm definitely leaning towards the damaged threads theory now.
-
Thanks for your advice. I'll try the detergent trick. Would the head need removing if I were to helicoil the thread?
-
Another typical useless answer from another chainsaw snob. Must be a small penis thing over compensating with a large Husqvarna 🤔

Hi all I would just like some advice on a free chainsaw that I came across. It's a cheap Chinese saw so I'm not asking for any miracles. The chainsaw wouldn't start at first. I noticed that the spark plug didn't look seated correctly and looked slightly cross threaded. I managed to re seat the plug which now looks flush and is very tight. The threads don't appear to be stripped. I noticed that the original toggle kill switch was useless and I replaced it with a different type of switch. I got the saw running and after about 5 mins I noticed a very slight oil leak coming from where the spark plug is. The spark plug is a used one. My question/s is what is causing this? and would a new spark plug with a better washer solve the problem?. Thanks.
-
Thanks for your advice. Much appreciated.

Lol 😂 Thanks again mate.

Hi again. I've come to the conclusion that there is a bearing at fault like Pleasant stated. My friend has the same model of chainsaw and I swapped the pull cord assembly over and the problem still persists thus eliminating anything wrong with the pull assembly. I think when refitting the assembly, it centralizes everything and causes the issue with the bearing seizing up. I would just like to say thanks for everyone's valuable advice and knowledge. I would like to say an even bigger thanks to Gareth, he's certainly the biggest tool that every toolbox requires 😁 and his advice was invaluable in diagnosing my problem. Thanks all and much appreciated.

I'll try the side to side up and down motion tomorrow. Thanks for your advice. I'll post tomorrow. Much appreciated.

Once I remove the recoil, the flywheel is seized. I have to use a socket and ratchet to free it off. Once free the flywheel moves freely by hand. When I refit the pull assembly. The engine will seize after a few pulls. I will then have to repeat the above procedure.
