Makita 4 stroke back pack blower

[monkeymoreton]

I have just rescued a makita blower from the company chuck pile I have got it running but it doesn't seem to get full revs.

 

I have blown out the carb thru the pipe fittings and blowen the fuel hoses out so far.

If it is not reving fully the first thing to check is the fuel system. You have done that so now check the exhaust, it is possibly blocked. Blockage could be in the spark arrestor, the exhaust box, or the exhaust port.

 

If its a fourstroke, check the valve clearances.

It is 4 stroke when you pull the trigger fully in it bogs down and dies out I'll clean the exhaust this weekend. It has been run on 2 stroke by people at my company

Some of them need two stroke mix - they are fourstrokes bu not as you know them - typical fourstrokes have wet sumps - oil in them or an oil tank and scavanging system - Dry sump.

 

The Stihl ones I have seen are the spawn of beelzebub and run on two mix!

matikas engines are like car 4 stroke. I understand stihl 4mix engines and rebuilt a few

It could of course be fuel starvation. I had a Honda 4t blower in yesterday which would not get to full revs. Everything checked out OK so stripped, cleaned and re kitted the carb and away it went.

I blew the carb out and it runs like a champ better than the stihl br 500 we use at work
