Any ideas stihl combi wont start

[sasha.p]

I have a failry new stihl combi unit have only really used it a handfull of times this year and I was using it to cut a load of hawthorn earlier today and suddenly it squeeled at me and just died I have checked for the obvious to see if anything was caught up in it etc but nothing in view I tried to pull the re coil and it felt like it was pretty tight and hard to pull so popped the re coil off thats working fine it looks like it more internal I dont really want to start taking it apart as not 100 % with a combi whats what as it looks pretty tight in there and I dont want to void the warranty but am I missing somthing thats obvious?I checked the plug it looks fine what else could it be?it sounded clutch like to me I have work booked in for next week I could really do with the unit for then so if anyone has any ideas what I should be checking would be much appreciated

Could be seized?

Ok. So you may have to take the clutch off.

 

Are you saying it won't pull over. Like its stuck??

 

You did use two mix on it?

 

Clutch could have broken or drive gear. Afraid taking it apart is the only way to find out. Don't get into engine until you have taken the clutch out and checked that one.

 

If its under warranty take it back to dealer like it is and let him check it out.

 

What combi is it?

Did you put 2 stroke mix in or neat petrol?

Km130 is a two stroke mate .

[VEG]

Yep I know that, thats why I asked the OP

[TreeswingerPerth]

Sorry VEG ,

I never read your post , mine was a reference to Sasha saying it was a four stroke .

Regards K

no worries mate crossed wires. They are sold as 4-mix some think they dont need 2 stroke oil

Dealer could be in for some stick from Stihl- doesn't sound like Sasha had much of a hand-over!
