   local agricultural store has a big promotion on Stihl at the moment with loads of POS displays so definitely worth popping down your local stockist and seeing if they have the same promotion on.

   If you can get a local farmer to get one from a agricultural store without VAT you will save a package

   the pick up is clean as a whistle and the spark plug isnt oiled.

   at a loss.

   Might just have to bit the bullet and hand it over to the old boy down he road that fettles these things round these parts.

   Always stihl for us, have seen a few issues with huskys.

   I've found fr jones & son to be the cheapest but you need to go in there first before you can order online.

   Ernest doe will price match too.

    FR Jones are OK if you email them a copy of your qualifications from memory.
    If you don't have qualifications then you might have to call in. They've just moved so I tihnk are in a bit of chaos at present :O)
    Cheapest place by a mile though.
    I don't like our local Ernst Doe. Full of ******s that only like farmers with accounts.

    I got my last Stihl from CWG. They were the cheapest I could find and they'll do you a deal if you press/ask.

    Stoner - did you check the clutch / chain brake?

    Posted 4 months ago #

    no, but the chain speed goes up to full whack, its the power that drops off at full revs.

    Ive had the clutch and brake off in the past (to check the oil pump worm drive) and it all seemed fine and has worked fine since the rebuild.

    cheers for the help everyone.
    I stripped it again and dismantled the carb and tank breather, gave them a good wash in petrol and it seems to be fine again. Reset all the limit screws. No problem.

    Although it appears mine is missing the HA limit cap. really need to get hold of one I spose.

    I bought one from the now defunked NETTO for £49. And it's been great. I even ran it on pure petrol for ages before I realised (yeah stupid) and it still runs like a dream.
