Someone suggested that I try sqirting some WD40 in through the spark plug hole and it worked - the cutter started and is running fine again now. I thought I'd post it here in case someone else ever had the same problem. Thanks again.
I have the line trimmer version and a bit older. Mine was discarded, I picked it up for around $20. Its really one of the best trimmers I have ever owned. It needed a full carb rebuild and cleaning. Pole is a little bent, gas cap leaks only if ya hang it, plastic is ruff, a bit twitchy on the high speed tune so I leave the mixture a bit fat but its reliable, smooth and starts fast!
Absolutely loving your vids Mick... been catching up on some of the older ones.. I've been servicing garden equipment for over 5 years and I've probably learned more simple little tips from your vids than I've ever learned from anywhere, cheers buddy.
How's she goin'? A nice video of a quick service for these types of trimmers!!! Re-packing the gear box is always a good thing to do!! Take 'er easy!!!
Watching this and suddenly remembered i've got a friend's chainsaw in the bed of my truck I'm supposed to get runnin. Oh gosh, hope it hasn't been stolen because I've left it back there all week and been all over the place! I've ran into that problem with the filter in the wrong place more times than I can think of.
Im guessing you have a small gateway but there is a model of ride on Mower that should fit through, mountteild 1228h and other repranded equivalent. Nice, cheap and easy start to ride on mowers
Well that's another one out of the door. It's good that you can do a deal on the other two bits of equipment. I need to service my Stihl leaf blower and Paddy's motorbike, is Amazon the best place to get the service kits from?
my pole hedgecutters,strimmers and brushcutters i have put grease nipples on them all so when i sevice them and grease the heads up and they will last alot longer
Hi Mick I have a Sthil KM 94 rc brush cutter i have changed spark arrester, Spark Plug, Air Cleaner n fuel filter n it still boggie at full throttle dont like messing with the carb if I can help ... Great Video champ regards Chris from down under
Thanks Mick. Lots of really useful info here. Have you ever come across one of these Kombis that won't turn over on the pull-cord with the plug in but spins fine without a plug ?
That will fecked lol air filter lol. Its annoying that i got sent the wrong parts the day i know customers not happy car was due to got back to mot center Mon. Got wait tho. Love them foresepts I have some for fishing lol. LOL Mick playing a banjos get rid off that rofl i hate it lol.😂😂 another than that brilliant 👌👍
@@themowerman appreciate it thanks. Having watched the video back, it seems my fuel filter isn't at the bottom of the tank either so could well be that
Hi, crank has seized/won't rotate on mine, running fine beforehand, turned off fine- didn't seem like/sound like a valve dropped. Clutch & starter is free. Any idea? Much appreciated thanks
Hi I've just found your channel and very much enjoyed this video I will be watching lots more. I have a km94 great tool it dose take awhile to warm up but run lovely after that sadly I managed to cross thread a screw to the air filter just spins and won't come out any tip on how to remove it?
Enjoyed that. Didn't see you grease the pinion gears on the end of the shaft. I know gardeners often forget to do these and when they fail as you'll probably allready know it's the full set you have to change for them and it isn't cheap. Grease gun is definitely the easy way but not the only option.
Another great job Mick love the time lapse music 👍👍
Glad you like it.. it mixes it up a bit hay
A great tutorial on how to service a hedge cutter. I love watching your channel 👍🏼
Well your very welcome mate

Oh dear was the saw still there.. best get it done mate
@@themowerman it was still there! I lucked out.
@@FarmDad lol
Hey Mick, unfold the hedge cutter attachment next time before you rev it up or you risk breaking a driveshaft or clutch drum ...
The new stihl style head, when folded back, will not run, gear box locks up, safety feature
jason Gardener yeah but it still puts a load on the engine and the driveshaft can break I have seen it many times in my repair shop...
@@cbnx82703 very true mate
Hi hi. Ta for the comment.. that is the great thing about the editing button.. I unfold it before I started the old girl up..
Micks Mowers no you didn’t I could hear it the video that’s why I commented...! Been a Stihl tech for 39 years my ears don’t lie ...
Im guessing you have a small gateway but there is a model of ride on Mower that should fit through, mountteild 1228h and other repranded equivalent. Nice, cheap and easy start to ride on mowers
As I'm sure you know, larger ride ons are more expensive to repair, more risky and often less financial viable
Hi Mick I have to grease my one
Well that's another one out of the door. It's good that you can do a deal on the other two bits of equipment. I need to service my Stihl leaf blower and Paddy's motorbike, is Amazon the best place to get the service kits from?
Yeah that oh if you dont mind waiting Ebay..
@@themowerman cheers mate
Didn’t I just watch this an hour ago? It’s a little soon for reruns!
Lol did you not see what I did in the first one ??
Micks Mowers I missed something. What was it?
@@Jim-ie6uf lol well if you never spotted it I'm safe lol
@@themowerman
I spotted it in your outro did it twice!?
The indigestion part should've been removed?
@@bumpkinrocks lol nope that was not it
my pole hedgecutters,strimmers and brushcutters i have put grease nipples on them all so when i sevice them and grease the heads up and they will last alot longer
Also forgot to say that I never left it(km94rc) run out of mix whilst running. Always stihl two stroke oil & use the correct amount.
Great job mate
Ta mate.. hope your good.. hows the mowers doing
@@themowerman im good mate just trying to fix some carbs on rv150 but dont think i can get the part i need to fix them
@@AJPsWorkshop what part mate how did the other mower get on..
Your shed looks the same size as @BSSMALLENGINES 😁
Lol yeah I'm just more busy them him
What happened this video was up and then down and now back up . Lol. Anyways again sounds like running good now. Nice job!
I made a mistake in the editing and had to re do it.. ta for the comment
Hi Mick I have a Sthil KM 94 rc brush cutter i have changed spark arrester, Spark Plug, Air Cleaner n fuel filter n it still boggie at full throttle
dont like messing with the carb if I can help ...
Great Video champ

Chris from down under
Yeah it's the carb.. just try and tune it on the H side.. it may pick up brother
Thanks Mick. Lots of really useful info here. Have you ever come across one of these Kombis that won't turn over on the pull-cord with the plug in but spins fine without a plug ?
No mate..
Nice video, what was the plug gap again ?
Hmm 0.5 mm mate
That will fecked lol air filter lol. Its annoying that i got sent the wrong parts the day i know customers not happy car was due to got back to mot center Mon. Got wait tho. Love them foresepts I have some for fishing lol. LOL Mick playing a banjos get rid off that rofl i hate it lol.😂😂 another than that brilliant 👌👍
Oh no mate more music to come as I now know you hate it
Do you know the factor settings for the carby? Low and high speed.
It will be in the specification sheet.. can be found online
I have this feeling of Déjà vu.....
No mate your going mad lol I made a mistake first time round did you spot it?
My combi isn't running as powerfully when my strimmer attachment is on. Any ideas mate?
I would take off the strummer head and try it. And also if it’s possible grease up the strummer head gearbox
@@themowerman appreciate it thanks. Having watched the video back, it seems my fuel filter isn't at the bottom of the tank either so could well be that
@@TheGreyGardener1990 yes that would do it
Hi, crank has seized/won't rotate on mine, running fine beforehand, turned off fine- didn't seem like/sound like a valve dropped. Clutch & starter is free. Any idea? Much appreciated thanks
Take the recoil off and take the plug out . Now get a socket and try to turn the crank with a socket from where the re coil attaches
ya good m8
Ta mate
Good hope all the P,s are ok
We are all good here mate. Hope your good too

@@themowerman got if fixed by the dealer in the end. Now running great. Not cheap though.
Great video, what did you do to blow the engine out, that wasn’t shown. Cheers.
Hi I have an are compressor.. many thanks for the comment hope your well
Hi there Mike do u have any parts for the sthil km94rc iam needing the pull start and the carb but would bye the lot for the right price.
Thanks .
No mate sorry
Hi Mick is that multi purpose grease
Hi temperature mate why do you ask
Enjoyed that. Didn't see you grease the pinion gears on the end of the shaft. I know gardeners often forget to do these and when they fail as you'll probably allready know it's the full set you have to change for them and it isn't cheap.
