Stihl HT101 running issues

[PhillH]

Ah...Zama C1Q.....the C1Q is fitted to a raft of machines....blowers, saws, strimmers and all are slightly different. The adjusters on yours I believe will be "Hexagonal" ones, you just need the correct adjustment tool, you may find it just needs a bit more fuel and an adjustment will sort it - seen it many times before. No #5 on this listing: -

Shop Carburetor Screwdriver Set, LouisaYork 8Pcs Adjustment Tool Kit Carb Adjusting Screwdriver, Adjustment Splined... Same as one of the sets I have and does pretty much all machines that I have come across...apart from Autotune[emoji6]
Stihl like to set their settings a little lean to adhere to the EPA regs - it means some machines over rev when they loosen up a bit.
 

@spudulike , thanks again for your help, I will order one of those kits and see how I get on. I ordered a kit from Rowena today. Excellent customer service to say the least.

Rowena motors will be cheaper for carb kit, very prompt service as well.

Hi@htb I ordered a kit from Rowena today, excellent service. Will definitely use them again. Thank you for the recommendation

Hi all, a quick update after the support you all gave me. Striped the carb yesterday and gave it a good clean. Assembled with the new gaskets and diaphragm from Rowena motors. Gave it a little more fuel as recommended by@spudulike Put it back together and started after about 6-7 pulls and started first time a few hours later. Checked it again tonight from cold and stared the same 6-7 pulls. It’s starting a lot better than it was and revs up a lot smoother. Fingers crossed it is cured. Thanks again to all for there help and advice

Glad it seems to have worked out OK. Thanks for letting us know.
