    Stihl blower carb primer question

    Ah ok cheers. Sometimes when operating i do hear say AIR being blown back into the tank. I expected to here a gurling noise BUT i dont, i hear air when bulb is empty. This would then explain why the primer takes 3/4 tries & becoming empty

    Stihl blower carb primer question

    Sometimes when pressing the primer bulb i dont see any fuel, i mean i could press it 3/4 times & nothing. After a while i do see fuel but it seems to be a different situation from my other petrol tools that i use. So do you think its the rubber flap under the primer bulb at fault.

    Stihl blower carb primer question

    Primer bulb is empty thus blower not starting. There are no splits in the bulb & fuels lines are intact & not split etc. I sprayed carb cleaner directly into the air filter & after a few pulls got it started. I was able to pump the primer & could now see fuel in it. Switched it off & am I...

    Lack of throttle movement Stihl SH86c

    Also not sure if this advises you of anything but I rotate the choke knob to say on or half but it doesn’t lock there & just returns straight back to off.

    Lack of throttle movement Stihl SH86c

    I don’t think it’s an on off for the user as it’s not seen when the handle is on. The lock lever for the throttle has metal contacts along its path

    Lack of throttle movement Stihl SH86c

    when you say drop down you mean rotate more clockwise thus having more to squeeze ? I say that as it’s on a spindle. Not sure about the switch.

    Lack of throttle movement Stihl SH86c

    My neighbours gardener asked me if I would look at the blower as she described it as no throttle. The throttle has little movement when I operate it. Handle removed & I can see that the plastic trigger part is right next to the plastic trim meaning as soon as I operate the trigger the plastic...

    MS170 Coil pack issue maybe

    So now i have had time to fit my purchased adjustable 2 jet carb purchased from that well know auction site. I had to drill a small hole in the handle so the tick over screw could be adjusted. Between the carb & the two 8mm nuts that hold it in place is a black plastic section which the air...

    MS170 Coil pack issue maybe

    Ok Just looking & i see some carbs that have a L & H adjustment but my issue then is I dont have the holes in the handle or beyond to pass the screwdriver through. Me drilling a hole to allow this is going to then be hit or miss to get it right.

    MS170 Coil pack issue maybe

    Ah ok. I read it as L & H but LH means tick over. Seems to tick over ok but i then pull trigger & then it stalls Yes left hand thread so i screw it clockwise to make it richer / more fuel correct Turning the screw i see it run fast / slow depending on which way but pulling trigger stalls it...

    MS170 Coil pack issue maybe

    There is no L / H screw. It has 1 tick over a few & it’s left hand thread. It starts & can tick over.

    MS170 Coil pack issue maybe

    @Scally-Ho Even though i was seeing no spark i then took your advice. I started from scratch & removed the newly fitted fuel filter in the tank & first pull it started. Ive screwed the tick over / mixture screw all the way home & then out 2 turns. It no starts & runs for say 10 seconds & dies...
