Well the Sanli (Chonda) is still going but every now and again it smokes like crazy then stops so I've been thinking about re-powering again.
Then the young bloke brought home another Sanli he found on hard rubbish. The return spring on the recoil starter has broken, starts & runs OK so looks like I'm re-powering the Sanli with another Sanli motor, just need to move the recoil starter mechanism !
Also collected, free, two old Stihl brushcutters. I'll see if they will work with some TLC. One looks almost identical to a McCulloch (actually Shindaiwa), I wonder if they made them for Stihl.
