Hi folks,
Forgive me for posting this question here - as it's a motor question, it seemed appropriate.
I bought a 'Draper Expert 45576 32 cc Petrol Brush Cutter and Line Trimmer' about two years ago. I needed a brushcutter to tackle a badly overgrown, I was broke and it was at more affordable end of the spectrum.
To start it. It's primed by closing the choke, pushing the primer 10-15 times and pulling the pullstring once or twice. It will generally then start and cut out . You then open the choke, pull the pullstring and she will start no problem.
However if I need to stop her for some reason to fix the cutting cord or she will often just cut out at idling. It's damn near impossible to get here started again. I think the engine floods some of the time as I find petrol in the air filter.
With my mower, I can fix this pretty easily. I open the choke, pull the cord a few times and it clears out the head, and it will then generally start. No such luck with the brushcutter. I have tried everything I can think of, I have even taken out the spark plug and left it open for a while, to left the petrol evaporate - to little effect.
Any clue as to what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Ray K
