PROBLEM
Engine does not reach full speed
and emits excessive smoke.
Engine starts, runs, and
accelerates but will not idle.
Blade continues to rotate
at idle speed.
String will not advance.
Grass wraps round shaft
housing and string head.
Spool retainer hard to turn.
Oil drips from muffler.
NOTE: The carburetor adjustment needle(s) are equipped with plastic cap(s) which prevent anticlockwise rotation from
the original factory adjustment. If your unit exhibits specific performance problem(s) where the Troubleshooting Section
recommends an anticlockwise needle adjustment and no adjustments have been made since original purchase,
the unit should be taken to a factory-authorised service dealer for repair. In most cases, the needed adjustment is a
simple task for the factory-trained service representative.
