Reply With QuoteOurs are the older back pack blowers with no primer.
They are doing ok at the moment using 1/2 throttle and choke each time for 2 pulls and then choke off and it seems to start on the third pull.

true, but i give all our customers 6L of premix with the saw, this is well enough for the weekend wally!they do wear out and if you dont mix the fuel properly and use good fresh fuel it stuffs them fairly quickly.
yep there is a problem with the bg85?? just covered it on wednesday. there are diaphrams in the country we were made aware of this also. a tip if yours is playing up is to cold start it everytime.Another problem Ive been having lately with the Sthil blowers is Carbi Diaphrams, and they are just not available in oz at the moment, looks just like a normal walbro carbi but is just different enough not to fit any of the common diaphrams.
so if you stop it and it wont re start, choke on 3 pumps of the primer then it should go. choke off.
cheers phil

I have just realised something, well at least think I am close, in Sutherland on the old hwy there is a small mower shop across from the funeral directors next to the garage. I bought my stihl there , before I moved up here.
Now the bloke that owned the place was a genius and whiz on small engines and drill sharpening( went there a few times) now I have noticed your sign off and remember there used to be a white disco parked out the front.

to answer your question ben
oregon power match. i would suspect that oregon even make husky bars and mabe even sthils??
think about how big manufactures work these days!
i run a 20 inch bar on a 266xp husky, been treated like **** (when on loan to "friends") and with some tuning comes up great.
oh and don't be afaid to blue print your saw

Thanks for the replies guys.
For the record, I am very particular about keeping the chain sharp and well oiled.
The genuine husky bar is about $15 cheaper than the POWER MATCH + bar, so I might go with that one...
Oh and the 357XP is supposed to have the best power-weight ratio of any commercially made saw

Probably dumb question but someones got to! By Husky do you guys mean Husquarvana (Think that is how it is spelt?).
If so I'll give them a vote. We had to remove 2 gum trees about 30ft high from our old house. Couldn't afford tree loper and hire of a decent chainsaw was more than a cheap small chainsaw. (Second size up from the smallest), mainly because we couldn't do it all in one go. So we bought one (husquarvana?)
I'm really impressed with it, have used oregon before but am more than happy (although I have stuffed the bar and probably the chain.... likes to cut at an angle instead of going straight through.) (I'm the type Discowhite curse's everytime I take it in!)
Bonus is now I have a chainsaw! (when I replace the bar!)

probably hit some hard stuff in the gum trees. there is always small stones and dirt and even carbon from the soil in gums. so maybe one side of the chain is sharper than the other.
take the bar off the saw, secure in a vice and file the edge square to the bar. clean out the groove and make sure the sprocket end is spining freely
my bars seen some hard times but with a little work still runs good.
like any cutting tool make sure the chain is sharp and every thing in good working order as it can end your life very quickly.
bloody good fun though.
i love small engines...
