Might be a bit off topic but I run my log burner on the wood that comes down the rivers round here - farmers still seem to use the rivers as waste disposal chutes. Anyway after decades of reliable service from an old Flymo chain say I now have a Husky that is an absolute pig to start and wont idle for long without stopping for the day. Apparently its cheapo chinese manufacture but then so are the smaller domestic Stihl . Giving up on it after several dealer visits.

What should I replace it with for reliable but intermittent use? Leccy or what good make of 2 stroke? Leccy would have to be battery.

Need a 15in bar
