Sold it today......
The guy said I could have an old Ryobi that caught fire................ ok.
Lucky speedy had an identical trimmer he was given a few weeks ago and couldn't get it going........
swapped all the burned parts and now I have a heavy duty Ryobi 2 stroke with a straight shaft and a bent shaft.... working prefectly.....

cheers
speedy
