  I'd imagine that's had some hard use lol! I'd definitely get the BG86........ it really is a much smoother machine with significantly less vibration.

  I had the bg85 and was great blower, I couldn't fault it, It was nicked earlier this year, so my insurance got me a bg 86, well its even better, mainly due to the near non existent vibes, I used a mates 85 the other day, and the vibes seemed huge in comparison!

  Experienced similar..... except the choke lever on my BG85 came off and the securing circlip was sucked into the engine so bought a BG86......... so much smoother. I've replaced the piston on the BG85 and it works fine but just keep it as a back-up now as the new one is much better.

  Having a few problems with my computer thanks for replies, Cheshire is a bit far for me but thanks I need to get for Wednesday.
  
  Another question it sound like there is not a control of power as it is full force all the time I thought you might be able to reduce power with releasing pressure ( I've not used one before).
  
  I have just two big gardens with one with large communal drive well for 8 cars and long borders and drives next to them and massive lawn next to woodland ( lots of deciduous tree's)
