got it! Had a go in the yard with it, all seems good, easy enough to start with a few goes. I can't seem to let it idle, though. If you leave it running it just stops. MY rabbit ran for cover though, it's LOUD.

gonna take on th weeds on Weds I think, supposed to be dry through the week.

You need to adjust the idle screw... Not too much mind, 16th turn at a time until it ticks over nicely.

Remember where the screw was set before you start though, just in case you thingy it right up ::)

Thingy? I never said "Thingy it right up" Is there some sort of censorship filter on here?

[Robert_Brenchley]

You said COCK IT RIGHT UP. The site's automated obscenity police would be straight onto that!

How did you get away with it then?

Highlight part of the word and press the red A. It puzzles the autopigs every time.

Well the first trip up to the patch was ok, it started easily enough, but after it ran out of petrol (had been running about 25 or 30 mins) it would'nt start again, so I packed up for the day. Will try again this weekend.

As luck would have it, they had 800w generators in B&Q for £60, so i've bought one of those too. Good for leccy strimmer, etc . Haven't tried that yet though/

Thes things are supposed to be useful if you have trees that need pruning as well as strimming to do

My 4-yr old niece refers to it as "a chainsaw lolly".....
