Thanks for the help guy, I cant get it to give more than an attempt to
fire, so I contacted repair shops, result is that I was advised to
throw it out & buy a new one as it is a cheap(ish) machine. Really
annoying as I am sure it is only a minor problem because I had it going
last week for 10 mins, but all my experience is with 4 strokes (car
engines) & not for 15 years or so...
I guess we all need to look at chipping in for a new machine
They always say that. With labour charges at 15-30quid an hour, just
looking at it is going to cost more than a second hand McCulloch
strimmer is worth. However it *is* worth you spending some of your
time on it, trying the carb adjustments.

Yes I did spend some two hours trying the carb settings & it just won't fire despite having fuel, strong blue spark & compression :-(
I'll try changing the fuel for new stuff next, last shot I think before giving up.
