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...

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).

[@mattbird2400]

Nice Job, will give that a try with mine. Hopefully it will work. 👍

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.
