Thoroughly enjoy learning from all your videos! Great diagnostics with precise explanations! Can’t wait for the next video! Thanks so much!
Always highly useful info in these videos. Much appreciated.
Another excellent video
Thank you for your excellent, informative videos on the BR600. Mine is about 12 years old and just starting to sound a little louder than it used to. I maintain it very well and only run VP Racing Fuel 94 Octane gas and Stihl synthetic oil. I wasn’t aware of the wrist pin issue until now. Thank you for sharing your experience!
12 years is excellent service life. Good choice on fuel and oil 👍
Thank you, more videos please.
I just purchased one of these used but never used, much anyway. It seems to be like new and hope it serves me well.
Be sure to use good oil (Stihl or equivalent) and it should be fine.
If that blower is only 1 year old then I'm 25. Someone has beat the Hell out of that blower. I have a 16 year old BR600, that has been used a LOT, that looks better than that blower does. I've had no problems with the rotating assembly. I've put 1 coil and a carb on it. I've never cracked open the crankcase. I've used nothing but Stihl parts. When it was working every day, I would check the valve clearence once a year. Now that both me and the blower are retired, I check the valve clearance once every few years. The fuel mix has always been a quality ethanol gas (not all gas is the same) and Amsoil mixed at 80:1.
Cool, you are probably a residential user. These are commercial blowers. They get destroyed by lawn crews because they don't buy them so they don't care. I have 6 month old blowers that probably have more hours than your 16 year old blower.
@@donkeydiehard879, nope. I cut over 30,000 lawns by myself 99% of the time over a 20 year period. I couldn't beat on my machines because a broken machine means I have to take the time to fix it, something that I didn't have time for. In all of that time I had 3 commercial backpack blowers. A Stihl BR400 and 2 BR600s. I retired from lawn servicing in 2015 and kept most of my commercial machines. My 2003 60" Dixie Chopper is still going strong.
Enjoy watching the videos. I'm new to the Stihl world. Sounds like a world I should have avoided, and entered the ECHO world instead? I bought a BR800C, and wondering if I made the proper choice instead of an ECHO 9010. You make such great videos.
Just make sure your warranty is good. You can register it on Stihl.com if the dealer you purchased it from didn’t.
So what was making the knocking noise? What is your valve clearance on both valves.
Those 4 mix blowers have been junk since day 1. Starting with the BR550 exploding fans to the wrist pin seizures on 500 on up. Ive done many dozens of short blocks on those blowers and just did TWO BR800's this week. Its a light quiet blower but thats where it ends for me. Ive seen the best luck with Shindaiwas, Echos's and Redmax blowers over Stihl
They definitely aren’t for everyone. We still sell the heck out of them though.
Yeah they have no trouble selling them, even with all their issues. This past season I replaced over a dozen 800 mufflers. They were on back order from Stihl with no ETA. I had to pay twice the price for new ones on eBay to keep my customers going but they understood.
The lies you tell ive had mine for 4 years now and its used 5 days a week no issues
My air filter is full of oil
Interesting video. Seems to me a 1 year old air filter should not fail like that. Seems like a poor design and poor quality material.
The failure was the customer’s fault from not installing it properly, I forgot to mention that in the video.
Lol! That is NOT a year-old blower!
Sure is.
