Stihl Strimmer

Picked up an unwanted Stihl petrol stimmer today.
Doesn't want to start (reason for giving away) and runs okish.  The owner had spent over €200 getting the carb refitted etc, but to no avail.
FS280k.  Looks like it was ex rental.

Squeaky suspension

Had an odd squeak that seemed to be coming from the nearside rear.  A closer inspection localised it to the torsion bars.  Some stones had jumped up and lodged themselves between the bars and the main chassis member.  Oddly, the stones on the offside were to blame, even though there were much more on the nearside.
