Hi guys,

Client has just given me his newish looking '4 stroke' Honda hedge

trimmer to look at,as it conks out quite regularly when turned on either side

I am totally unfamiliar with this new 4 stroke tech.:-)

Is it really a small 4 stroke engine?

Does anyone know if these new Honda machines have issues as I had to take a look at a Honda strimmer which also had issues.the build quality seems quite low.

 

Cheers

I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing the coil..

I have a honda 4 strokes trimmer build quality is ok but I think they are made in China. Sounds like the fuel filter pick up may be hooked up. Mine runs clean like a watch starts first pull bit under powered and heavy. Valves need a tiny clearance and are sensitive to this adjustment. I have been running mine on a fully syn thin oil designed for top end Porsche engines and it seems to love it.

I had a similar problem with my honda trimmer. I spent ages looking for the problem, in the end I took it to a Honda dealership. It turned out to be the clearance on the valves were out and needed adjusting. I have also changed the fuel that I use. I now use premium unleaded on all small engines that I own. I am not sure if this will help, but I just want to give it every chance to stay running.
