Stihl 4 mix

[Arborlord]

Any one using these i have a br600 and a km100 pole trimmer.

 

Just wondering if any 0f you have gone past the 139 hour mark and had any problems???????.

Im not there yet, but the 4mix hl100 ive got refused to start most the time although it idled sweet at full throttle it overreved and missed. Even after tweaking I find they dont run great.

My ones starts ok and runs lovely all the way. My blower has been a total gem. other day thought it was going wrong then realised it was outta fuel blonde moment.

 

I herd a few stories about them just wondering if any one could share.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there Matty.

 

A dealer that doesn't have the engineering or mechanical skills to service and repair can give a product a bad name

Huskys aren't immune from problems either, I bought a 357xpg from last years AA show and it wouldn't rev till it had warmed up.

 

You had to start it, not touch the throttle at all and leave it 2 mins on the floor ticking over to warm through, it would then rev fine.

 

I left it like that till it had run in then spent 15 seconds adjusting it to run perfect, only a 1/4 turn on the jet.

 

If I had not known what to do I'd have been slagging them off saying they were crap and had problems from new.

Have you ever tried the man at the lawnmower shop in Letchworth? He is quite handy with hedgetrimmers, and reasonably priced.
