QuestionI have a 4 cycle Troy Built trimmer. It died on me the other day and I tired the following things. I cleaned the air filter, cleaned the fuel filter, changed the oil, changed the spark plug, checked the spark arrestor, put clean fresh fuel in the fuel tank. I can get it started part of the time but will not stay going longer than 30 seconds. Small adjustments in carburetor helped a little bit. Any help would be appriciated.
AnswerHi William,
If opening the carb's jets doesn't help, then I would suspect water, dirt or gum in the carb. You will need to remove it, disassemble and clean all the internal openings, probing with a small wire. Finally, blow it out with compressed air. Add a carb kit if you can.
Let me know how you make out.
Michael
