not starting

[cyril]

My brushcutter starts when I put a little petrol in the carb and then switches off. It does not start when I prime it.

Hi Cyril,

It sounds like the carburetor is clogged with debris or varnish caused by oil fuel. You can simply replace the carb, Part #308054013, or attempt to clean it. We have an article and video that will help walk you through cleaning the carb if you decide to go that route. You can find the article and video at the following link...

I hope this helps!
