Found it,

Chance your arm its only 50 quid, could be something simple or it could be a whole host of problems. Its a good way to learn. If it is too much of a PITA to repair, part it out on Ebay and get your money back, You could even make a profit.

Possible blocked air filter, may need a carb tune, may have a blocked high speed fuel circuit, holed fuel line, crank seals may have gone causing weak mixture at WOT - need I go on - good way to learn unless you don't have a clue what you are doing or it costs you in parts.

If the 12 is like the 009 and 011 then you will have fun with the big end bearings if you take the jug off - the rollers all fall out if you are not careful.

Ebay saws can be a real time and money waster but fun if you are in to doing up saws - I am on my 10th saw so far

Have learn't alot though

PS look forward to you asking for further help when you get it!!
