Just a few more things to add, when i try to blow down the pipe which should be delivering fuel to the carb (blowing towards the carb) I can’t hear anything, ie feels blocked. Is that right? Or would the fuel go up that pipe once it’s being turned over? Also, when I suck the pipe that should be...

Hi again, So on the bench I have a BR550 backpack blower, it’s had a few issues which I’ve fixed but this one particular thing I’m struggling with and could do with a bit of advice... I had to replace the primer bulb as it was split, i know I've put the pipes back on the right way but it’s not...

Currently... The Tondu thing I’m trying to find parts for... Stihl BR550 Backpack Leaf Blower Stihl HS46C Trimmer 2x Stihl TS410 Stihl MS150 Husqvarna 141 Makita BCX3400

Thanks 3Browns, yeah I searched the brand extensively and found a few Tondu products but no chainsaws and certainly no parts for mine. I’m guessing you can fit a bar from another make of chainsaw to the saw I have but it was the cog I would like to have original part for. I’ll keep searching...

Hi and thanks for the reply, yeah it is old, seems a shame to throw it away just because of the cog and bar though. I’ll get some better pics on as soon as I can. Thanks again

Hi, I’m new to the forum so my apologies if this is posted in the wrong place... I’m a self employed air compressor engineer in England and for a bit of extra cash (for holidays lol) I buy, fix and maintain petrol engined garden equipment etc. Loving your forum, looks great! Hope I can help in...
