Stihl BR600 leafblower wont start, find out why!

[@Rein_Ciarfella]

Great video! I especially like the electrical diagnostic between the switch and the magneto leads. I’d never seen that before and it’s simple and easy. Also the side by side testing of old and new magnetos. That really tells it all. Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it!

great vid . I have this same blower same model. did all the tests all is well.. even the coil testing ok on meter.. plastic washers in place .. compression 120 psi.. switch working correctly still won't start. I am replacing the coil anyway .. had to watch my friend.. great job

[@SHONEY21Z]

Didn’t have spark?

[@MunkyWrench]

@@SHONEY21Z it has spark too lol. fuel compression and spark.. still cant get to start its a head scratcher.. im gonna replace ignition mod and see if it will change before i put on new carb..

[@SHONEY21Z]

Check the flywheel. Make sure the key isn’t sheared

[@MunkyWrench]

@@SHONEY21Z I will admit thats one thing I didnt check but now I will.. even checked the valves they were a little out but not much.

[@SHONEY21Z]

@MunkyWrench yeah let me know. Could have spark and compression but if the timing is off it won’t fire

Are these affiliate links for the Amazon coil sale?

[@SHONEY21Z]

Yes. It’s listed under the links that they are associate links.

I have to disagree that the plastic washers isolate anything. The screws still make contact with the leads and the magneto as they go through the mounts to ground on the engine. I think either they’re not factory or are for another purpose. Or am I completely wrong? I’ve never seen plastic washers on magneto screws before.

[@SHONEY21Z]

That’s a good point. I may have been looking at that all wrong. The spacer is necessary to alone the coil over the flywheel, but the screw going through would ground it. Maybe it’s necessary to be ground to the block so the switch can complete the circuit. Thanks for clarifying!
