Ok you guys are correct it's a breather plug , must let air into the oil tank so you get correct oil flow ,the duckbill valve works
on pressure not suction you may need a vacuum valve,you may be able to adapt a valve from another saw or do as Tyler
suggested with the fuel line with a vac valve..

Last person I saw selling the cowl sticker was FarmerJ18 but worth asking silensmessor first.

Update - filled the sump with 10 30 oil and motor started and ran perfectly with the oil sensor wire disconnected. Connected the wire and it is humming. Thanks again Max.

G'day John,

Yes it looks like it would be quicker to modify a Pope catcher than try to locate a Ogden catcher, it shouldn't be too much trouble to shorten the catcher to fit ,a few images from online to see the shape of the brackets.

Another thing I didn't mention before was the Pope has a deflector plate when the grass catcher is used to make
collecting grass more efficient ,you could make a deflector plate if need be ,I've used push mowers without the
deflector plate and the catcher still got filled with grass, the Ogden looks to have a deflector plate too when using
a catcher.

Cheers
Max.

Short story is two chains for Ozito 18 Volt chainsaw PXCCSS-018 are for sale. One is an Ozito, the other is a Stihl which I had made by a Stihl dealer

They are 40 DL, 3/8 LP 0.043inch

Long story is I bought an Ozito 18 V 10 inch (250mm) chainsaw which worked well for cutting small branches until the motor burnt out with lots of smoke. The replacement just stopped working, and after three others gave up I upgraded to the 2 X 18 V version which is working well.

The Ozito chain is dull but only used for maybe half an hour. The Stihl is sharp and has hardly had any use.

Hate throwing stuff out but no further use to me.

$20 plus postage for the two.

Very good well done looks good

had a go at welding it, it seems to be okay for now.
Thanks for your input

Ok got an answer for this problem. I found a motor here that somebody had used an aluminium pulley and machined it to take a boss off the F/C and grub screwed it to the boss I think they probably heat shrunk the pulley onto the boss. Anyway this is an easy fix tor what could have been the end of my last few 24's. At this stage I am short of 1 slider plate but it is not worth me getting just one laser cut.

Briggs Australia has the part on backorder and it could take a couple of months to get in from the time that you order.

G'day Norm,

Yep the scammers are finally getting arrested, I do remember many years ago getting the scammer messages sent to me when selling online,
and there was nothing to stop them ,I'm still getting 3 scam messages as soon as I list an item for sale but now most are blocked from me responding to them on Gumtree and if they aren't blocked I push the report on Gumtree messaging and they are blocked that day.I think more should have been done earlier though.

These days Scammers can sextort young people and as a result a few young people have committed suicide but at least
now the scammers go to jail no matter what country they are from ,a lot of the times the scammers don't even have
what they say they have to extort people.

Yes Foxes are everywhere ,I remember seeing a news report from London where a fox entered a persons home and attacked
a child.

You still hear about a wombat attack from time to time and a roo attack isn't that uncommon.If you are a tourist I hear you
need to watch out for the drop bears in Australia ,apparently they like attacking tourists. , what animal doesn't
attack you in Australia ,I went near a blue tongue lizard the other day and that was trying to take a bite out of me .

Cheers
Max.

Yes Max,
this time of the year you couldn't give a mower away. Once September hits and people see that it is going to cost them $60/80 to get their lawn cut they quickly see the value in an $80 mower, one cut of their lawns and they are in front.

Just had another look at it and noticed the top seal had a gap when looking at it from the top side, I just installed it flush with the casing on the inside. Tried hitting the seal further in till it closed the gap on the top side and installed the bearing again and refitted and that solved the issue. I got worried that the case halves had no clearance but crisis averted. Will need to pay attention more next time how far seals and bearings are installed before disassembly.
