New Stihl BR 600

[jltree]

Just bought one myself from gustarts and was advised to use the higher grade 2 stroke oil in it...

Since getting a new strimmer on 4 mix I run all out machines on stihl HP ultra. The green stuff. Much better fumes. Engines run well. A company also based on our yard uses the standard red oil and is constantly having 4 mix engines send pistons and con rods out the engines!

 

I'd rather pay the extra couple of quid for the green stuff!

Did you get shown how to start it before you took it from the Stihl dealers? Its policy.

4-mix runs on 2stroke mix like all Stihl kit. Aspen will not cause any problems.

When the 4-mix engines first came out Stihl said you could use the Red 2stroke oil. But these engine started to coke up so Stihl now recommends the use of their Green 2stroke oil which is cleaner but more expensive. Because Aspen fuel is cleaner and the 2stroke is very high quality Aspen2 will be even better for your engine than using the Green Stihl oil and normal petrol. I was talking with the Stihl Tec men at the FR Jones show today and they have no problems with the use of Aspen in Stihl machinery. Take the machine back to the dealer and get them to fix it under warranty or show you how to start it, if the is a special way!?! sure there is not but check with your dealer.

 

Thanks for clarifying that Eddie

Iv followed the instructions in the manual for cold and hot start and flooded starts but maybe I'm missing a trick. Will take it back Monday see what they can do.

Please let us all know what the fix is, be nice to know.

 

If you use the green oil and normal pump petrol the price gap is getting smaller between using that and using Aspen.

 

Kind regards

Took it back today and apparently the valve rocker had snapped off. Technician said he had never seen that before. They swapped the machine for me and all is working well

 

Happy days

The valves on 4-mix engine need to be checked and reset after x amount of hours use. Please check the handbook or with Stihl for the number of hours so your machine keeps running as it should. When I worked at a Stihl dealer we had a 4-mix valve problem on a new machine so it is not unknown.
