Hi mate could be running to rich what ratio of fuel 2 two stroke are you using also got need adjusting at the carburetor but the machine smoking will not do it any harm

[@MrAvant123]

The green B&Q strimmers are the same - they are shipped with an over lean carb setting. 1/4 turn richer usually fixes the issue. You need the Pac man carb tool...

The high and low screw for the throttle the same thing will need adjusting on yours till it revs out

[@morganging]

im going to blow an airline through the carbarator tomorrow to see if that would make any difference

If its not reving out you will need to adjust the high and low screw while the throttle is getting pulled with the engine running till its at full power

Nice pleasant well explained video, only problem it’s obviously reversed as Triton spells notirt and when you unscrew nuts etc they are going anti clockwise, this did confuse me to start with, thought it was something to do with the Chinese manufacturing. Cheers. John

[@CORRIGEEN71]

My priming button has a joke in it would this cause my strimmer ti cut out and have little power??

[@Robsenginerepairs]

Hello and yeah it most definitely would as the tank pressures up by the prime to push fuel throughout the carburettor till the engine starts and sucks it through

[@CORRIGEEN71]

@CORRIGEEN71 yes it's part of the system but it can be bypassed with a primer bulb built on the carburettor

[@mannixfleming7838]

Got a titan strummer still running like a dog. Friend looked at it. Maybe old fuel? If I run it hard, will it kick out the dirt and new premium fuel (with a dash of two stroke), will run better? And stop losing power?

[@petermostyneccleston2884]

Did you try using the Premium petrol, to make the mixture with? I have had nothing but trouble with the regular petrol, since the Government decided to put more alcohol in the petrol. I went over to Premium, and no problems with the 2 stroke machines.

Always use premium fuels much better mate or premixed

Ive got an old titan wont start…hardly had any work…its a very clean machine . It became hard to start couple years ago and bogged down once started .

Great video mate! Can I ask what tool you use to adjust the carb? Mine needs doing and it is a strange head with a dot on it. Titan branded and only 12-18 months old Much appreciated

[@johnfeeney4636]

These carbs don't have any adjustments re mixture, the only adjustment is the idle screw - you can just use a set of pliers to screw it in or out. The only way to adjust the amount of fuel going through the carb into the cylinder is to bend the metering needle retaining flap (inside the section he didn't open).
