Poor attempt at a joke BB, but a strimmer doesn't have legs? :|

Oh all right then Chris if you want to be pedantic...................


OP.did you hear the engine running immediately before you borrowed it ?

[chris]

That was my attempt at a joke, after seeing what you wrote BB! Perhaps the smiley should have been a winking one?

Is it the weather? A few peeps seem to be a bit touchy!

Soz Chris,didn't see the smiley bud,could be my browser not recognizing :/ as being one anyway a joke that bad should have been followed by a ,onwards & upwards

What I was getting around to was that,if it was not witnessed to run at the time of collection it could have been a pre-existing fault

[chris]

no worries!

Thats why you have to use your own legs and run around the garden wth it to 'bump start' it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can see this is a thread that is going to run and run...or perhaps not !
A bit of parcel/electrical tape on the fuel line - not duct tape, that would be hell to remove - will soon let you know if the problem is a pinhole.
