Stihl HS80 Hedge Trimmer Cold Start

Cold Start

[@Moondoggy1941]

I have the HS 74 model. I am going throughout right now.

[@405TunerZ]

Dang what happen to it?

[@Moondoggy1941]

@@405TunerZ It just been laying around, I had the blade sharpened about 15 years ago, I purchased it used, it ran really good, and then the last time I used it it leaked gas, so I am replacing all of the fuel lines and if I have too I will replace the carb, that is a little difficult to find and shipping is 3 weeks. So I will go back to Stihl shop and see what parts they have.

[@405TunerZ]

Yeah it's got some power but heavy lol

[@johnclarke6647]

Let it warm up for a minute before blipping it off half choke, high idle. Then gradually reduce the choke until it will idle, properly, about 2,800 rpms.

[@MrJustDIY]

Do you get many jobs where you need that ?

[@405TunerZ]

No not really one or two a year.

[@MrJustDIY]

I don't think I'd like trimming much.

[@405TunerZ]

I don't mind the little stuff. When I come to the big stuff I don't like it either. 30 mins of using this thing and your arms feel like they going to fall off

[@BrandonHoyt]

Oh man, the HS-80 is the coolest tool I own haha. I'll chop blackberries for hours! People pay good for nasty jobs like that and I love doing em haha.
