Hi, Found your videos very informative thanks. Managed to sort out a couple of issues as a result :). The problem i still have is that its a bitch to pull and snatches back very violently. Pulls like a dream with no spark plug in. I've followed all your other recommendations, cleaned everything, new fuel/oil. When it does start, it runs fine. Not spotted a vid that covers that sort of issue? Would be very grateful for any advice for anything else i could try myself. Don't think my hand can take much more punishment :(
@RSPYT3 жыл бұрын
Alright I’ll see about making a video on that. The thing is with engines like this is that they do tend to have very small pull starts (obviously because they’re a small engine) which means they will be harder to pull over compared to something like a 4-stroke lawn mower engine. Also being a 2-stroke they will tend to pull back and rip your fingers off. I’m afraid that’s a trait of a small 2-stroke engine, and to add to that when they’re new they are tight and they’ll be even more likely to remove your fingers. Over time you learn how to avoid it and how to get them to start in a few pulls haha
@MrClawdius3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the fast response. It never used to be this hard to pull which makes me think something has gradually gone out of adjustment or there is something else there that still needs a clean. I am going to try a little seamfoam cleaner in the chamber and see if that helps. If nothing else I can create a nice smoke screen :)
@RSPYT3 жыл бұрын
Haha yeah, there are some things like being a bit rich or being slightly out of time that would cause your issues :)
@MrClawdius3 жыл бұрын
Dribbled a bit of seafoam cleaner into the chamber and gave it a dozen pulls without the plug in. Did the same again with the chamber facing down to let any remaining liquid out. Put the plug back in. Seemed a little easier to pull and certainly started easier. I did find pulling the starter rope out a couple of turns and then yanking made it a bit easier. Still wants to rip my hand off on occasion though so not fully sorted by any means.

Good video, all the basics in sensible language. My strimmer fired up first pull after the winter, then died after 3-4 seconds. Would it restart - No! So I knew it was basically sound. I checked the spark - ok. Checked the carb and airways, 'cos spiders can get in there, but ok. Changed the inlet fuel tube for a transparent piece so that I could see the fuel moving. All ok. Managed to get it started for a few seconds again, but no more. Scratched my head. Took the fuel cap off. A very gentle hiss of air releasing a vacuum. My first clue. Long story short, it was the air valve inside the cap not letting air in. New cap, job done

My main lawnmower has electronic ignition so I'm not really used to a cord pull. I was also making the mistake of trying to start it on choke. The other issue for me was not really giving enough wellie when pulling the cord and not trying enough times. Thanks for the video very useful. Also really good to have a demo of cleaning sparks and how to clear it if its flooded.

Would you be able to answer a question I have, I recently brought a petrol strimmer from SGS engineering and I had to return as the unit was too heavy for me to use. When SGS received the item back after I confirmed I did not use it try to, they are saying as there was fuel in the priming bulb they can not expect my return as they are saying I put fuel in it, and attempted to start it, which I did not. My question is would there still be fuel in this bulb left over from SGS testing this unit as surely they would have tested it. I would really appreciate your thoughts why there is fuel in the priming bulb. Many thanks.

Good afternoon, thanks for the videos I have used a few to sort bits and pieces out. The latest problem I have is I haven't run the strimmer for a while and of course the strimmer will not start. I have identified the problem to be fuel not feeding up to the bowl or even up the pipe. I tried pumping it up with out the fuel tube filter on and that doesn't work either, any ideas? Could it be something to do with the diaphram? I put plenty of carb cleaner through the various orificies and that ends up being pumped through on the return tube? Any help would be appreciated. P.S. I have sent the question off to SGS, if they resolve it I will be back to let you all know.

@@RSPYT So I had a reply from the SGS team last night and I sent the following: To explain more when trying to pump the priming bulb the bulb was stiff and would not fill with fuel. In the end the bulb would not reform so I had to take the carb to pieces to release the bulb. While the Carb was dismantled, I gave it a good clean with carb cleaner. Having put the carb back together I cleaned the plug and looked at the fuel filter. The bulb still failed to fill with fuel. I also noticed during this fault finding that the tube from the engine to the fuel tank was pushing air and carb cleaner so that seems to be working okay. There is a spark as the strimmer run with carb cleaner in the chamber. The bulb was reforming very easily at this stage and that is when I noticed the bulb had split. I expect I would wish to order a priming bulb and fuel filter, do you think the problem could be a problem with the diaphram, I could order one of those also?

It's a simple machine it should run without problems, and you are wrong about spark plugs you should always replace the plug with new because the sealing ring will be flat on the old plug

That’s a total waste of money. Wait until the plug stops working before replacing. Don’t be wasteful.
