Honestly could be something I would consider, may put an ad up on eBay or something as around me atleast I know of zero places that do servicing on / stroke garden equipment. Only problem being is that with repairing other peoples saws there’s the time expectation which could be a problem trying to do it along side school.

Means a lot mate, thanks

hi all, just thought some people might find this interesting, i live on a farm and my dads a mechanic, i've been working on two strokes/engines in general for a couple of years now and finally took the plunge to start making use out of my knowledge rather than using it to spend money (dirtbikes cough cough). Anyways, first saw that i'm flipping, a stihl 038 av super. Bought for £80 as had been sat in a shed for years but had compression, spark and fuel so i bought it. flushed all old fuel out and cleaned carb through, new sparkplug and some fresh fuel i got a pop after 3 pulls. reset to factory settings as wouldnt start and it fired straight up, took some fettling to get the idle down and response times up but runs sweet now. new 20" oregon versacut bar and chain went on along with a new break handle as old one was broken and dodgily repaired Hoping to sell for around £300 looking at previous ebay sales. will be going up on ebay in a couple weeks time as im about to leave for holiday.
