Aluminium tape, or Aloominum for those who don’t speak the Queens! 😂😂 Almost fell off my chair!!! Gold! Great vid, nice explanations, good “how to” guide! Thanks!
Good day nice videos.I allways use a blow lamp and burn off any carbon internaly.including spark atrester screen here in uk we dont need the screen by law.good luck and all the best
Thanks, I know some people will wonder why a grown man can watch another equally grown man work on his Stihl. But it is very satisfying to see the job completed with the problems beaten, cheers
My Dad could fix anything as well and loved doing it! I would help him and have used a tap many, many times. I was glad to see you reverse direction a couple of turns as you were tapping, Sean. The mark of a pro!
I absolutely love that you can do all these repairs. Plus, this 2nd channel is a very good idea ... I was thrilled to see you fix the little metal cabinet. Love it all, cheers, joh b.
I have this same machine and because of the ethanol in the gas here in the US I have had to replace my carburetor several times about every 2 to 3 years.
My first visit to this channel. I love blade mate but Wow this is very cool. Your attention to detail is unbelievable. Just as with your lawnwork. For such a big man ( tall, works out, manly man 😊) you have such a delicate touch. Amazing. Take care of your tools and they will take care of you right? Now I have 2 places to enjoy your expertise. Man now I'm going to have to go back and watch all of this channel also. 😂😂
I got an old Stihl FS90AV on the bench at the minute. It was my Grandpa's and used it alot as kid here on the farm. Runs for 5 minutes then cuts out. So it's overhaul time for the old dear. Have the carb in the ultrasonic bath at the minute. I generally leave them in over night. It's not my main brush cutter I use I normally use a Honda umk425. I normally only the Stihl out in the paddock around electric fence posts and the likes.
Loved the video Sean. I love watching repair videos. I learn so much from them and you're a great, patient teacher. Please keep them comiñg. Thank you so very much! 😀❤️
As always very entertaining Sean. Great work. On a side note, would you consider doing a Blade sharpening video. I haven't had much luck doing mine. Thanks a million.
Good to see another vid out. Learned a trick or two here. I have an old Black and Decker battery operated screwdriver that uses 4aa batteries. It's great for working on this stuff.
Shawn this is Ian from N.C. U.S of A. Love the blade mate series of course but this channel is awesome too. We need more of these. I love how u and Tim and Al Bladez are all buddies. Please do some more restorations. I know ur a busy man. Since it is spring down under now. Its still summer here. Keep up the good work bud.
as aussies I swear we fix things that should be replaced bahahaha , personally i would of gave up and ordered a new head for the servicing abilitys of it not breaking next time . good content mate
Cheers mate. Check out the pinned comment. This fix was more of an experiment. I've since got my hands on some helicoils and given it a permanent solution
grouse work Sean mate love it and yep Lock Down is a pain the ass for sure and if only people would not put is in there and all but still you beat the odds in this video mate cheers ;)
Invention is the mother of necessity, which you have proven! You make it look too easy. I’m usually cursing myself while I come up with the solution, haha. I always have JB weld on hand at all times, don’t know if you have the down there. Really dig the shop set-up! Get the rest of your kit ready, grass will get tall.
Enjoying your videos Sean, great stuff. One suggestion - use some anti seize on those exhaust bolts. Make the job much easier next time. Keep up the great work!
@@monicap5071 Hi Monica - anti seize is so you don't have to use penetrating oil and hope that the bolts break free, keeps them from "welding" together in the first place.
Cheers mate (sorry for the late reply) Do you mean the black trimmer head itself? I just use a generic speed feed head. See this video for the type I use: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WbnVAGvfMKQ.html
@@theaustralianrestorer6211 was insulation not offered by the company? I insulated mine before wall panels and roof sheets went on. No condensation and comfortable in all Melbourne seasons
Next time you come up against a stuck screw like that, take a punch with a tip a bit larger than the screw head and give it a few firm strikes with a hammer. It will usually come right out after.
I'm surprised you haven't come up with a solution to stop replacing the plastic cover that you tap down on concrete to get the cord to come out - There must be a way to attach a metal protective plate or small thick plastic heel onto that plastic bit to give it more life ? Design one that's generic to place on any whipper snipper and you might be on a winner !!!
@@theaustralianrestorer6211 Stick your logo on it and sell them online or in Bunnings - I'm guessing many mowing guys and gals would want one ... even offer a few as a give away on both of your channels !
Great video. I live about 3 hours north of Brisbane. Thank you for the timely reminder to go and get my mower and whipper snipper serviced. I don't have the confidence to do my own. Plus the mower needs new blades and may need a bit more muscle then have got. Lol
