  • Are you "handy" with the old tools? have you tried Googling or searching Youtube? Not really a lot to those little engines..... Could be worth having a look over the basics yourself first...
    I've done it loads of time with equipment....everything from a pressure washer that seized up to a Dishwasher which needed a new pump.... managed to fix it myself. Worth a try.

    Also.... unless it's a really good expensive one, sometimes the cost of repair is uneconomical...... I bought a new Petrol Hedge trimmer for £80 off Amazon recently and it's every bit a good as an expensive high end one my BIL has.... he even said so himself....

    I'm not very handy at all!!!
    I ended up just buying a new,as I was told by several people that the cost to repair something like this would be expensive and it would be more economical to buy a new one:eek:
    Thanks for your help.

    You could try Montrose, Ballymena.
  • Maybe a bit out of your way but A to Z Lawnmowers in Bangor is good with things like that 028 9124 2096
