OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Trimmers and Brushcutters Two Stroke Trimmers & Brushcutters Pope 33 cc Brush Cutter

Some abandoned this one on a building site..........
Because the throttle handle broke.........
I am going to have to find a new one, or a 2nd hand one, or make one, or put a screw into the base and use that as a lever......
Model is 101PBC33.
I wonder if anyone would have an old one for parts, maybe I should post in wanted forum.
Haven't got any slashing to do but it will be good to have or sell.......
cheers

It appears that brushcutter is made by Toro any of your Toro dealers should be able to help you to get a new throttle lever.

Thanks for that AVB

I have ordered the throttle lever part $2 ... can't believe that.
But that not all, another one came my way for helping a mate fix his 5 in 1 trimmer........
Anyway it needed a carb kit as the gaskets and diaphrams were history, ordered them......
I'll see which one runs best and get a weed trimmer head, as I need a trimmer more than a brushcutter.
I used those brushcutter blades when I was young, they are heavy duty when you sharpen the three blades................


seeing double again ..........

I installed the throttle handle and it started ok, ran ok.....

Seeing triple...............
A lady gave me one left somewhere.
I got it going, Ordered a trimmer head from Nowa , Bundaberg,
Gottwo going, but I'll be able to swap them over, and the 33cc gives a bit of power......
lucky speedy

Just adopted another one, with a cracked fuel tank, that's easy to get one off the one that doesn't work..
They have some power with 33 cc.
I take the guard off, easier to see and manouver..
Got to keep busy in these times

Nice catch speedy. Looks well made like they used to be.

Had a good day , I draged out that Pope above , had put a tank on it....
No spark..... just wanted to check coil gap or for any foreign metal that would short it out or rust.....
But there were score marks on the flywheel, and play in the flywheel, so bearing shot.....
So I pulled out one of the others and put the good carb and tank on that, save renewing all the hoses and special 2hole plug.
Cleared the exhaust of mud from a wasp.......it was completely closed...
It fired up well, ran smooth.... I put that three blade cutter on.
THESE ARE DANGEROUS,,, always watch if there is anyone or dogs around when you are useing this blade.
2 good machines out of 4, the score sofar.
have a good weekend

Good show there speedy.

I've got the fuel tank pulled off my Echo SRM200DB 22cc brushcutter just now, to investigate how the machine was managing to drip fuel on the floor [or very quickly, into a catch tin] when sitting idle.

That one came to me with a muffler packed solid with mud from wasps, like your Pope. Luckily, the Echo's piston was in the 'up' position, so the barrel's exhaust port was closed off.

Reckon this blade could give the 3-blader a close run in the 'danger, Will Robinson' stakes - and it's genuine Echo, too.
