hl95 not ticking over!

[jamesd]

I've got a Stihl HL95 that no matter what i try, it will not tick over. I can only get it so that the blades continue to run if i adjust the carb anymore it just stops.

I obviously don't want to use it like this so is there anything else i can check to try and get it ticking over properly?

HL95 is a 4mix engine so there could be something more sinister going on ,I have never had a problem with mine YET after 6years .

What oil have you. Being using ?

Are you sure its not the clutch spring thats gone, preventing the centrifugal clutch from disengaging?

Been told by our local dealers to use full synthetic 2t oil, boss has a km100 run on full synth and his father in law runs his on semi synthetic.

Both machines less than a year old and the semi synthetic machine seems harder to start and doesn't seem to run as smooth.

Dont know if theres any logic in that just my two pence
