I always pull the kill switch wire completely off and if no spark then pointing very much at the coil. Lot of people get caught with faulty switches that is not breaking the circuit

Mate of mine had I think was around a 40cc Certa and he caned hell out of the thing and got around 5 years out of it but that was me keeping it going for him though. I would say if you are only going to cut a bit of wood it would do the trick. Don't buy one of the Certa 88cc ones they are a...

Have had problems with brown rot myself that is here in New Zealand and it is very hard to get rid of because it get's in the soil around the tree as well. We hade a dwarf peach and ended up pulling it out and putting a lemonade citrus tree in it's place. All I can tell you is any pruning bits...

Put a bit of grease on it is the best option. Trying to do them dry they always seem to want to pinch.

Run it for a while and see what happens. Sometimes these things want a bit of a run to bed in.

I had a Husqvarna 51 doing the same thing and is always easy to track down. There's a little gadget you can buy called a spark tester for around $5 or $10. Sometimes they will run till you shut them down and won't start again or do what your one was doing. All you do with the tester is plug it...

Should have been cleaned up straight away but hopefully there was not much water got inside it. Take the plug out and put some WD40 down thje plug hole give it a good shake upside down and pullit over a number of times. As said dump the petrol and put new stuff in. You will have to test you...
