Of course I am only guessing here but I suspect it may have been shortened, as its very taut, by a diy repair merchant. Is this a common fault, is it really worth bothering about, if it is a serious fault, where can I get a new tank. Thanks. Slightly off on a tangent but ........... I have a petrol driven strimmer McCulloch MX310 that I am ALWAYS CONSTANTLY have to stop to 'adjust' the cutter feed ............ this replaced an electric thing that was the same ........... 'Just gently tap on the ground, and the self adjusting / self monitoring / fully automatic / fully patented / foolproof mechanism will ensure trouble free adjustment....... rubbish Lasted about 20 mins on both items (bought new) if it worked at all on the petrol jobbie. Now the bloke with the council strimmer goes on ALL DAY without EVER looking at his nylon cable, for months on end .......... where can I get one ???? (a strimmer like his I mean and not the council bloke) What about 'brush cutters' are they any better?? 1/3 acre of wild at the sides garden (all open crop fields) Taa Just be thankful it was not the space shuttle, I recommend Stihl as my little pup is now up and running trouble free after a little TLC. |
