So I’ve watched a video or two & set the carb up going by the advice watched. Still a pig. I see fuel coming out the air filter like before so it’s flooded. Today after I had it running for a while I switched it off & topped up fuel tank. Pig to start again & im expecting it to start fine...

Ok Ive since found them. When you said it’s an early one do they do a 4 stroke strimmer ? Stihl FS120

Compression I would say yes. I’m sure it’s fuel related. My starting process mentioned above should be correct as that is what I do on all my stuff. I don’t think it’s getting enough fuel. I will see what I can find about setting up carb.

No it’s 2 stroke strimmer So no valves

Hi, 4 mix you say ? I removed carb again this afternoon. One end when cover removed i see the needle valve which works alonside the see saw part & spring. This works fine even when blowing through it & holding it down & trying to blow. The other end is drilled holes & the gasket is more like a...

Last few weeks this FS120 has been a pig to start. I put on the choke, a few pumps of the fuel bubble & pull it over. Once it tries to start I turn off the choke & start to pull again. After a couple of pulls it’s starts & all fine. This is how I have always done it. This didn’t work last few...

Hi, I had done that many times but the issue this time was once i had fitted the replacement cable. Today i have done5 gardens & pulling the mover back was fine. Maybe i adjusted it difference OR cutting the small return spring made a slight difference but i would say its nor sorted.

I dropped out the axle again to get a better look. I removed the cable & operated the lever on the gearbox with my hand & it returns all the way 100% I fitted the cable at the gearbox end only & whilst holding the outer casing I then pulled the inner cable at that goes to the bar handle. As the...

Just didnt want to do anything from way out. Now im looking at the gearbox return lever on my other post

Striong spark with & without switch installed. I screwed both screws on the carb in & started to wind them out both at the same amount of turns. Go to say 8 tuens out & it spluttered as it going to start but didnt. I continued untill it should of started somewhere within my range out all the way...

Switch was tested OFF engine & works fine. I was saying when i connect wires from engine to switch i get beep all the time. How does multimeter sense from coil when switch in off position. Anyway now rain has stopped i will go check

I have both. Rocker On / Off & also press to kill. Can you explain why ? Rocker switch tested off engine & does what it should do uising multimeter. Press to kill shows no continuity when switch AS/IS but when i press the switch i then get continuity. Either switch when connected with the 2...

Unable to start this Mc Culluch petrol blower. I’ve taken the engine case off & see that 1 wire is off the kill switch. This shouldn’t be the cause of it as this only kills the engine correct ? So I have removed the switch thus having 2 wires, one goes to the engine earth & other disappears...

Thanks, I will; bring it inside & take a look. I wil;l; send some photos for you to look at.

Morning, Attached is the cable in use. The spring that you see is what passes through the vertical post i mentioned & the hook on the end sits over the arm & in a small cut out. When I pull the handle at the bar the spring expands pulling the lever. So when I let go the bar because it’s an...

My setup at the gearbox end is like so. There is a vertical post which has been drilled so far through. My outer cable fits in the drilled out part. The inner cable passes through the small slot & has a ball of lead on the end of cable. The ball of lead in enclosed writhing a spring which...

My Champion mower snapped the cable so as I had a spare yesterday I decided to change it. Today using the mower I found it hard to pull the mower backwards. Reason being the gearbox / self propell was still engaged. The inner cable can be seen after the adjustment screw then it locates into...

Ok Tomorrow I will measure the tank hole & also exterior pipe size.

I purchased last summer a used McCulloch Air Stream blower. Did the normal things like plug, filter fuels lines etc etc. Using it yesterday I noticed when I put it down there was a small dip / puddle of fuel on the floor. I started it up & could see fuel coming from near one of the fuel pipes...

If turning it left or right does nothing how do I remove it please
