Blower died

[Mick Dempsey]

Buy a new one.

Take the spark plug out,
Keep it attached to the wire.
Place sparky bit between your lips and GENTLY pull the pull cord.
You'll know if it's working.

Hi Barrie....where have you been....had a weird coil once, the blower would idle beautifully for ages, pull the throttle and the thing would die but let it off and it would idle again.....and have had a few non working coils on these blowers same as you.

Hi Steve... I'm still around and look in on Arbtalk quite regularly, but with you covering all the questions so well there is no need for me to comment? Still busy as ever, in fact even busier just at present.

Those Stihl coils are not the most reliable as you say, and its always worth checking before pulling carbs off as its such an easy check to make. Failure is usually preceded by some stuttering and popping though, they seldom just pack in instantly in my experience.

That's the trouble with this Chinese stuff.    If I had a £ for every Stihl coil I've changed, eh. 

 

Barrie, good to see you posting again, thought we'd scared you away.
