Hedge trimmer not starting
He used it for 10 mins or so then it cut out (he might have hit the off button, he's not sure), but then neither of us could restart it. Yesterday I gave it to my father in law to use, and after starting it for him I handed it over and he got on with the cutting. I forgot to take the choke fully off I think, not sure if it goes off automatically though or if it's relevant at all. I've tried a new plug, and a few squirts of easy start too. I've tried with the throttle a little open. I've taken the carb off and re-seated it (looked ok), checked the throttle is closing ok, and have run out of ideas (and my shoulders are aching). I have a Ryobi hedge trimmer which has always been a bit tricky to start but after a few extra pulls has always run fine (only had it a year or so and used it maybe 10 times though).

Tips for troubleshooting why a two-stroke engine won’t start. I have a Stihl HS 45 hedge trimmer with a 2 cycle engine that won’t start. In the video I’ll go through some basic troubleshooting steps to determine why. * Checking if the spark plug is wet
* Replacing the spark plug
* Testing the stop switch
* Checking the spark plug for spark
* Replacing the ignition module
* Replacing the fuel filter
* Replacing the air filter I hope that you will find these troubleshooting techniques useful. Remember, if you are not comfortable or do not have the mechanical knowledge to fix an engine, motor, etc. I highly advise you to hire a professional to get it done. The same culprit that is often to blame for hedge trimmers not starting properly is also commonly the cause of these machines running rough. Yes, I’m talking about a clogged carburetor. Another issue that causes running rough is a clogged fuel filter. Like virtually any other power tool, hedge trimmers also have their share of malfunctions and issues related to engine performance, etc. For those of you who don’t possess even the most basic technical knowledge, > In this case, turn off the trimmer and clean out every bit of debris you find inside. Afterward, use a damp cloth to clean the blades and grease the cutters with a light oil. If this fails to work, you may need to get the cutters fixed. Is there a leak somewhere? Misfiring can be caused by a loose or incorrectly adjusted magnet coil, or a flywheel in the wrong position on the crankshaft due to a damaged flywheel key. If you pull too many times, the carburetor can flood, so remove the filter and turn it on it's side to drain out any fuel that's accumulated. Thanks very much very helpful Set the choke lever to the cold starting position and press the fuel primer bulb a minimum of five times. Tap the trigger quickly. This action releases the engine from the full choke position. Press the stop switch into the interlock position. Place the unit on the ground and remove the blade scabbard. Be sure that the blade does not make contact with the soil. Move the choke control to full open position as soon as the engine fires. Stihl marks fully open with a symbol like three parallel lines. Find the choke lever on the top left of the motor above the carburetor housing. Controls vary--the choke may be a lever or a knob and pointer. Set the choke to the closed position. Stihl marks the closed settings with a vertical line with horizontal lines above and below. Raise the blade lock lever to the lock position. Find this lever at the rear of compact trimmer throttle handles. Pole trimmers do not have the same feature--blade movement depends on engine speed. Stihl manufactures hedge trimmers in compact models and pole models with blades mounted on long shafts. Pole models contain transmission systems which connect the cutting blades to the hand-held motor. Both types start in the same way with only slight differences in controls. Details do change slightly from model to model, so consult the owner's manual for information specific to your machine.

STIHL Inc. maintains a Stolen Unit Database. If your STIHL product was stolen, first please report it stolen to your local law enforcement agency. Then contact us with your name, address, model number, and serial number. If the unit was registered at the time of purchase, we can have it added to the Stolen Unit Database. Always refer to your instruction manual under "Replacing Nylon Line." The three most popular STIHL® trimmer heads are the AutoCut®, AutoCut® EasySpool™, and TrimCut™. We also offer a video on winding your trimmer head. All STIHL gasoline-powered engines can be used with up to a 10% (E10) blend of ethanol in the gasoline/engine oil mix. We also recommend that if a unit will be left unused for more than 30 days that it be stored "dry." This means emptying the fuel tank and then restarting and letting the unit run until all the fuel is consumed and the engine stops. For maximum performance and engine life expectancy, we also recommend using STIHL HP Ultra 2-cycle engine oil. This can occur when the trimmer head is not bumped often enough and it becomes too short for centrifugal force to advance the line. When advancing trimmer line be sure to do so at wide open throttle.

This part of the hedge trimmer is a small screen designed to prevent the engine from giving off sparks. Again, a clogged carburetor is a common cause of an engine starting fine then abruptly stalling or stopping after a few seconds. While I suggest using troubleshooting techniques listed above to fix this issue, you can also purchase a carburetor repair kit. This kit provides the essential tools you need for fixing your defective carburetor. The same culprit that is often to blame for hedge trimmers not starting properly is also commonly the cause of these machines running rough. Yes, I’m talking about a clogged carburetor.

Replace it with a new chain, making sure you install it with the teeth facing out. You can wear gloves as you do this if you're concerned about cutting yourself, although bare fingers make it easier to work. Safety should always be your top priority when working with any type of machinery, even something as small as an electric hedge trimmer. Use common sense. Turn off the trimmer and fully unplug it from its power source. Doing this will eliminate the chance of accidentally turning it on while you work. Resist the urge to simply turn the unit off; it's too easy to accidentally hit the on/off switch and injure yourself. If the blades are broken or cracked instead of jammed, go to step four. An electric hedge trimmer can make shaping and controlling bushes much easier than trying to do so manually. But even the most well-maintained unit can break down and stop working. Follow these steps to repair the device yourself and save yourself some cash. Gardening is a popular hobby, and one that can really change the image of even the simplest of homes. If you’re in the market for a hedge trimmer to use in your garden, then a compact option is all you need to make the biggest difference. The Sun Joe HJ604C is perfect for keeping and maintaining a small garden, and grooming tight areas that a typical mower couldn’t get to. This model is 25% quieter than most other cordless hedge trimmers. The quick 1,350 SPM motor also increases cutting speed to make the most out of each use. The 18-volt lithium-ion battery also claims the fastest charge time in its category. Instead of waiting for hours to charge, you can take a short break, and get right back to work. The HT20 boasts a lock-off switch which hinders the hedge trimmer from accidentally starting up. Plus, you'll get a two-year warranty which will allow you to put this tool to the test. Shaping your hedges has never been easier. The Black + Decker HT20 is a basic affordable option for those who are looking for a fantastic hedge trimmer without all of the bells and whistles that usually lead to a steeper cost. This model has a 20-inch blade with dual action texture on either side, and it has also been pre-hardened meaning the blades are rust resistant and stay sharper longer. I assume that the "high tension cord end" is the connector at the spark plug. I'm not exactly sure how to test that. I pulled the plug cap and held it close while pulling the start, but observed no spark. Can someone confirm how to perform that particular check, or confirm that it is unnecessary because I found spark at the plug electrode? Here is the troubleshooting chart for the trimmer: Also, can anyone give me anymore guidance? Of the 100's of pulls I've done since the original incident, I never one time got a single fire from the engine despite every possible choke configuration and lean or heavy throttling.
