Cant start petrol hedge trimmers....help
Just bought off ebay, did eventually start, long enough for me to do a first
rough cut to try them out.Then they made a `kind of` knocking noise` which I am positive was coming from the starter string mechanism. I took this part off and then re assembled noise now stopped but they won`t start. I have checked with manufacturer and the idle/fast screws are correct. I am getting a spark at the plug. The fuel is getting to the plug. I emptied and made fresh 2 stroke at correct ratio. I replaced spark plug with a fresh one. When turning engine over there is compression and it runs smooth with the plug out (or in) so don`t think any engine damage. I have motorbike engine experience so don`t think any major engine probs. Help what next????? It says press `bulb` 5 times for fuel? could I be flooding the carb? I ask in case it is my starting methods although I am going by the manual. |
