    I will tell you that the chipper blades really must be so sharp that you can shave off your arm hair; if you get the chipper blades to that level of sharpness then the chipper will work extremely easily and extremely well. I only know this because 7 months ago I got a 2nd hand huge chipper/mulcher and I used a water stone to sharpen the chipper blades and I was shocked by the difference it made; material feeds in really easily

      If you sharpen them up, they will lightly inhale the sticks. The angle of the blade's cutting edge "pulls" on the sticks.

      Indeed. It's more critical with the small electric choppers. I have one of the Harbor Freight specials, it's good for light weight material, nothing heavier than Rose Canes. Anything much heavier than that it will not handle. But the point is, yes the blades need to be sharp.

    Just FYI, the grooves in tyres are called sipes, named for John Sipe who worked in a butcher shop back in the 30's, and found that the soles on his leather shoes to be slippery on the butcher shop floor, so he cut groves in them for traction, saving injuries from slips and falls, and they named the process after the inventor, who's idea was incorporated into ordinary tyres.

    Nicely done. Once you have most of the water out of the fuel tank, add isopropyl alcohol to the tank then add your fuel. This will allow the water to be burned off as the engine runs... just make sure you use the whole tank and obviously don't let it sit with that mixture in it.

Good job cleaning the plastic fuel tank, to be sure of getting all the water there is a product to remove water from car fuel tanks and lines called HEET, sold in all climates to remove water from fuel and fuel tanks from condensation.

    Excellent diagnosis and repair, not only on the engine but the blades as well. It is always rewarding to see a neglected machine brought back to useful life. It's a bit shocking that carburetor repair parts and the complete carburetor are so expensive to replace. I know this isnt a full restoration, and I'm not the one to give an expert any advice, but I would have removed the rust on the shroud and flywheel even after you got them free. Regards from USA.

    I have one of them as well. But I have to tell you that use one for any amount of time and you will be tired. While it does grind up branches, you have to push feed them for it to work correctly. And after a while, you will have a pretty good work out. Mine has a flip down shut so you can rake leaves into it. And it works pretty well. But I just don't want anyone to wrongly think it is without any effort to use... And absolutely take the blades off and sharpen them. You will thank yourself for doing that.

    Here’s a tip, years ago in winter my car used to get condensation in the petrol tank which would cause the engine to cough and spit so I would add a 1/2 a cup of methylated spirits to the tank and that would stop it. Water will mix Methylated spirits and methylated spirits will mix with petrol so essentially the metho / alcohol acts as an agent to allow the water to mix with petrol. Of course in a small engine we are only talking about a very small amount of water left in the tank after it’s been cleaned out so it won’t do any long term harm. I’ve used it many times when restoring an old fuel tank that I’ve cleaned and rinsed just to be sure. 50ml in a lawnmower tank would be plenty.

I love these old machines and would like to find one here in the States. We have an Amerind-McCissic that still runs today and dates back to the early 80's. Great old machines that OSHA would not approve!

    Serious bit of kit there. My unit was a small standard 5hp Briggs and I had it for over 30 yrs. Maintenance is key. Change oil often, as these usually run at max rpm all the time. Sharpen the blades (I actually had a second set always ready), adjust the valves. Should last a long time. Narragansett Bay

    The next time you need to get the last bit of water out a a tank, get yourself a bottle of rubbing alcohol and dump some in. The alcohol binds with the water and you can drain it right out. Then use compressed air to dry out the tank. The alcohol evaporates very quickly leaving behind a clean, dry tank. Denatured alcohol will work too but doesn't evaporate as quickly.
