I have motorbike engine experience so don`t think any major engine probs. As they ran before I'm inclined to agree. 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. Small 2 strokes can be very temperamental starting from cold. Is there a choke? I approach my strimmer like this: Fuel up, fully close choke, prime as per the book (6 or 7 presses), fully open the throttle, pull fast and firmly half a dozen or so times. The moment it shows half a inclining at firing move the choke to half way, pull again and it'll normally run on the 2nd or 3rd pull. Keep the throttle open for a 10 seconds or so the let it close slowly and then take the choke right off if it's idling. Being ready on the throttle should it start to die... -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |
