Hi Mick Komatsu, Shindowa and Echo are machines that people have never really heard of, but amazing pieces of equipment. I've had a few primer bulbs that have been chewed on by rodents. I think it might be the gelatine (as I understand) in the older made primer bulbs as I've never had a newer made bulb chewed on.

[@alastairfinn1305]

Is there anything we can add to the fuel just before closing off for the winter to help with starting up in the spring?

[@themowerman]

Yes some addictives claim to dissolve water..

[@dogmangreengrass736]

i call mine the window killer ….😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@themowerman]

Yeah.. I know why lol

[@clivekeyzar4862]

Hi Mick,do you use impact sockets with your impact driver,or can you get away with using normal ones for this sort of stuff ?

[@themowerman]

You can use both mate.. just use what you have mate

[@Herbybandit]

I hate those mices to pieces! 😂 I had a Komatsu Zenoah a little smaller than yours and it was immensely reliable, Komatsu have been building earth moving machinery and Zenoah small engines for years.

[@henrymurawskibigdogrepair]

Flip in old mate thanks

[@themowerman]

You are welcome mate lol

[@jeffjeffjeff2]

Great video Mick. I've inherited one of these from a neighbour and it's a great machine. Only needed a new O ring on the fuel cap where it had shrunk but nothing else.....not bad for an 80s machine.

[@themowerman]

Yeah.. this one is still playing up a little.. runs fine just a pickle to start..

[@SIRKlLLALOT]

Hi Mick, I have this same strimmer I think it’s the G3K and I can’t find a replacement air filter cover? Like the plastic part you lowered down prior to removing the air filter. Mine is missing and also need to know what spark plug to get and also needs a new clutch too. Would you be able to help with these parts? Thanks 😊

[@themowerman]

Going to be hard to find them..

[@glynrogers1018]

Hi mick had zenoah strimmers on the council 41 years ago all had 4 cord heads

[@themowerman]

Yeah I have one still runs great

[@FourDollaRacing]

The Aussies and the Kiwis say *Whipper Snipper* 😁

[@themowerman]

[@craigwebber1311]

[@dirtfootracing8788]

Good info ...an oldie but a goodie ..alot of the older machines are of much higher quality

[@themowerman]

Yeah you are right

[@firstbeatuk]

No Mick if it don't suck it means you got married lol

[@themowerman]

Lol... I'm telling Mrs p

[@alandykes2519]

Spot on Mick 👍👍👍👍

[@mr1pearl]

Great to see the old stuff run again and again and again 👏 👏👏

[@themowerman]

Yeah.. unfortunately this one is just to hard to start the next day... It will not make it ..

[@veb6814]

Just needs to run . That's a good running littl engine!

[@themowerman]

I'm afraid not... It's a bugger to start in the morning..
