Thanks for the video. Mine wasn't engaging, and I found the starter was fine, but the black plastic pawls were badly worn and one spring was missing. Hopefully the starter won't need replacing for a while.

You SIR are very AWESOME ! Rewinding ANY weed eater spool one chamber line at a time is a PAIN and being able to FEED through and wind it so that you're winding both at once is VERY convenient ! I found that about 24' (feet) of the .095 thickness is about the perfect length to wind both top and bottom at the same time ! Again THANKS for this video it's gonna save me a bunch of time rewinding the spool !

How was this fault presenting itself? Mines just started acting weird, changing speeds on its own and getting 2 lights flashing....
@RJLmachinery28 күн бұрын
I think the first thing was it sounded weird and grindy, think it did flash lights a few times and was temperamental when pressing trigger, then it just stopped working altogether. Take your gearbox cover off and see if the drive spur is still lining up with the cog. and run it with cover off to check its not wobbling.

I ruined a blade, because balance is critical at those rotations and it's very easy to grind too much and then the machine shakes like a vibrator and soon after your shaft will die. Please do not use this method.
@RJLmachinery28 күн бұрын
So are you just never supposed to sharpen it? 🤣 A normal sharpen taking roughly the same amount off will not cause excessive vibration, so you either completely messed up the sharpening or didnt have the blade mounted correctly.

Like most of us I own a variety of devices, the one I like best is my bench mounted Oregon 511 'Clone'. It doesn't do the rakers, but it does give me a consistent result on the cutters. My Husqvarna Rancher gets good results using the Husky roller and My Stihl raker gauge works on the Stihl saw. The 2 in 1 is ok, but a round file and raker gauge have given me better results. Most 'tools' take time to get the hang of them, and taking time is the best way - IMO rushing doesn't get the best result.

Hi, can you comment on strength/reliability of the older style units like this vs the newer km hl 145. And are they pretty much same inside to repair? Thks
@RJLmachineryАй бұрын
Yes similar internals etc, the biggest difference is the new ones have a connected top bar running down the length of the blade which is prone to breaking, if you dont look after it. Olds one could take more of a beating. Both pretty good though if you look after your kit.

They are not bad, the honda is a true 4 stroke, where as the stihl 4 mix, you still have to mix oil and gas in the tank. Depends what kind of work you want it for really. They tend to be slightly heavier than 2 strokes.

I’ve had one of these for about 6 years, it’s an amazing machine! The blades don’t last long but they can be turned around. I’ve had blades so old that they have cracked and when I went to change them there was only ½ a blade left! It needs a pushing device, I usually shove a big stick down chute and wheel it, otherwise you are bending over whilst walking. I also cut the OUT chute in ½ as sometimes it blocks up with too much green stuff

Wish i had thought to angle grind the plate in the hopper and moved it to the higher position it might not have got caught on branches as often and bent about as much and eventually broken away! The plate is also made from very thin metal which couldn't have helped it's life span...
@popconnАй бұрын
The bracket holding the black rubber strips to stop chippings flying back out kept getting moved backwards and forwards by branches feeding into the chipper so eventually tore off. Also the welding at the bottom of the feeding hopper broke away from the round hinge you put the bolt through to hold the hopper in place. I got it rewelded back together but now the hopper is splitting up from the corners at the bottom of the hopper!! These machines are brilliant for the money, but they are made from thin metal in places. They should up the price a bit and use better quality steel and parts. The blades are really soft, I've own the chipper for 3 or 4 years and I'm on my 8th pair of replacement blades. Even their forged steel blades aren't up to much.
