    Kawasaki engined strimmer.Impossible to start.Didn't take long to spot the fuel mixture bubbling through the cylinder gasket. Dirko'd up running lovely. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Wish I'd've read this this morning Spud.Just spent £8 on a strimmer clutch spring when I could probably have modified one. Really liking this 'get inventive' approach.If you understand the engineering tolerance why wait for overpriced parts .Nice one👍👍 Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Like doobin said and a whole lot of debris potentially which will render the gasket changing a waste if you clog the tiny channels in the carb Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app

    What about fitting. How 'universal' is it. The sarp i have has a male 8mm reverse thread for attaching the head to. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Just received a Rocwood with a set of square bolt adaptors.£16 -really cheap and nasty plasticy. Don't mind spending more for a decent recommrndation that looks like its going to last. Oregon?? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Piston was crusty with carbon and crankcase had a fair amount of the orginal gasket maker stuck inside. Cleaned the piston and dremelled off what seemed like superfluous casting ridges at base of cylinder and the compression has come down to an acceptable level.Cheers folks.

    Ok.No cap no timing in the equation.something mechanical to look for then.Good.And the fuel from exhaust when running Is that retarded or something else? I remember with the recoil off i tried turning the crank by hand seemed like mega compression that bounced back very hard.Maybe i should get the exhaust off and check for carbon build up/blockage?

    One thing I can't work out....I have another trimmer with identical problem.Sheared key...have done same procedure as above and probably havent lined key line and mark where key was on flywheel up accurately enough. 2 issues....unburnt fuel being pushed out of exhaust (does that mean timing retarded?) and its very stiff and lumpy to pull over....I would have thought the timing working against the piston would only come into play when the plug actually sparked. This is really tough to pull over with plug cap removed.Can a sheared key affect pull over even without spark??? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app

    You could try lean ing the low screw a little bit to increase the revs and then balance as needed by backing off the idle screw. Can't remember if you've done it but if that doesnt work a decent carb clean is in order. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app
