Pesky thing. It fires on full choke, and then runs on half choke for about 5 seconds and then dies. I have checked theat there is fuel getting into the carb. Checked the diaphram, which appears to be intact. I have restored factory settings for the high and low.

Anybody any helpfully ideas. Also approximatley how many turns is the tick over screw from completely closed (turned anticlock wise).

 

Cheers peoples

Have you checked the wires going to the ignition coil?? My old 365 did what you describe and it puzzled me for a while until i traced it to a dodgy connection on the coil. Might not be that but its worth a try, only takes seconds to check :thumbup1:

Cheers mozza, i have taken out the spark plug, and pulled the start cord. The spark plug was producing a good spark.

But i will go and check the conections.

hi girdle

i am going to keep an eye on this thread,way!because like you i have a 254xp and its one tempremental sun of a gun:blushing:

fires after about 12 pulls,ive also had new plug,cleaned air filter etc[still a swine]

after its started,get into a cut and if it feels any resistance it cuts out!sometimes put the chain break on cuts out??

then it goes on a good cutting run,cuts out and is then difficult to start:blushing:
