Hi all,
Well I've dug out my other McCulloch which is a Titan 2030 bent shaft machine which oddly now has the same issue happening as the original machine that I posted here for.
I have gone through all the basics and then removed the carby which had jelled up fuel throughout it. I've cleaned it all out with pressurised throttle body cleaner and blown it all out with compressed air and all the gaskets were fine as it had a carby kit put through it about 3 years ago and then hung up and put out of the way.
Now all this blastard thing does is fire up instantly and as soon as I put any pressure on the trigger it just stalls instantly. There's absolutely no restriction in the exhaust, matter of fact I've started the machine without the exhaust box fitted and it still does the same thing where as the previous machine ran perfectly without the exhaust and thus I soaked it and flushed it out. From there the original machine ran and just required the carby idle and high speeds adjusted carefully and now that ones a beauty while this bent shaft machine has got me stumped.
The only thing I can think of is the diaphragm might require replacement, apart from that ........................ donuts
Cheers,
BB.
