Engine Running Behavior; Rewind Starter - Stihl SH 56 Instruction Manual

English
Rectify problems which have caused
fouling of spark plug:
– Too much oil in fuel mix.
– Dirty air filter.
– Unfavorable running conditions,
e.g. operating at part load.
Fit a new spark plug after approx. 100
operating hours or earlier if the
electrodes are badly eroded.
To reduce the risk of fire and burn
injury, use only spark plugs
authorized by STIHL. Always
press spark plug boot (2) snugly
onto terminal (1) of the proper
size. (Note: If terminal has
detachable SAE adapter nut, it
must be attached.) A loose
connection between spark plug
boot and ignition wire connector in
the boot may create arcing that
could ignite combustible fumes
and cause a fire.

Engine Running Behavior

If engine running behavior is
unsatisfactory even though the air filter
is clean and the carburetor is properly
adjusted, the cause may be the muffler.
N Have the muffler checked for
contamination (carbonization).
STIHL recommends that you have
servicing and repair work carried out
exclusively by an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer.
