then get the grinder & 2 batteries for 299

batteries would go to waste if you only used them in a magdrill now and again

I'm suprised its only 18volt. I thought it would be 28 volt

Here's an interesting gate latch.

Those wire gates are very common over in France. The latch itself is cool though. Usually just a rope looped around top but that actually tightens everything up. Nice.

Nope! I just fitted a new one of those so no ripping necessary. That's that peoblem solved!

I have this back "project" back together but it still hasnt solved my problem! Very annoying! I said l wouldn't say what it is because if a person can't figure out from photo what I'm at they're no help to me!!

Can'r really see the pic as it's too small. Take a bigger one.

The clumsiness ratio of finger and thumb to carburettor parts is akin to that between boxing gloves and shoelaces

I spent ages messing around with my chainsaw carburetor, until I realised it was the small hose running from it to the tank that was drawing in air. Never gave a bit of bother since I changed it.

What was it doing/ not doing before you fixed it?

Well good man. This is what I'm thinking now is my problem too. I'm going to get new fuel hose. If it doesn't solve it, l'll crack up!!

Well when you are trying to start it and you feel like fooking it on the ground, then maybe it's the fuel line. :rolleyes:

It would start fine when cold, but once you stopped it, it wouldn't start again when hot. I ripped the carburetor, put it back again and all would be fine, for a while. Rip it again, and fine for a while. One day noticed petrol leaking so got a new fuel line, all fine since.
Make sure the screws on the carburetor are out one full turn as a starting point for tuning. The manual will show you how to do this.
Mine an old Stihl MS250 by the way.

You're meant to drain the petrol if not using for a long time, like over the winter. This saves the rubber parts of the carb.

Pod123 · 12-10-2018 5:22pm

Just after taking your advice there. Went straight out to shed and emptied all petrol out of everything. One of those little jobs that would be forgotten tomorrow.

Pod123 · 12-10-2018 5:26pm

This could be worth getting.

It's a brushcutter. Will start no problem hot or cold but bogs down when you go give it some trottle. It's obviously starved of fuel.

Check that there is no air being drawn between the carb and crankcase............are the shaft seals good.........................

Ten Pin · 12-10-2018 6:56pm

Possibly...
- Air getting in through cracked fuel line in tank

- Partially blocked screen / gauze on the pump side of the carb, it's down in a recessed port and this is where any dirt accumulates. Depending on the carb, it's probably on the opposite side to that shown in the pic.

I was using my brothers strimmer a couple of weeks ago and it started doing the same. I phoned him to see what the problem was and he told me to open the petrol cap a bit. For some reason the seal is causing pressure to build up and starving it of fuel. He has the strimmer 14 or 15 years and never had problems with it before. His is a Honda.

There's usually some sort of vent on the fuel tank to allow air into the tank as the fuel is consumed. The vent might be clogged with dust, just needs to be cleaned.

Is that where carb seats? Relatively new machine, could this be an issue?

That little screen wasn't bad but l replaced it with a new one along with new gaskets and metering diaphragm from genuine walbro kit after giving carb body a good clean.

Now it could still be the carb, but I'd be disgusted if it was after all my faffing!

Replacing fuel lines is my next port of call! After that I'm flat out of ideas! I have them ordered so hoping it does the trick!
