OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Tech Talk How do I install circlips on my 2 stroke?

Yeah, the moment I saw this trimmer to buy it I knew that it had been neglected a bit, like they guy wasn't even using an air filter and I was also half-sure that the head was not supposed to spin when idling, but I got it really cheap.

That's exactly what I thought.

And the carb is a Walbro WYL and doesn't have low and high screws.

I'll create a new thread when I install the clutch.
Thanks

This is my final comment on this thread.

I have installed a new clutch in the line trimmer and after assembly the unit started right away. So the broken clutch was the cause of the hard starting and idling problems. It now takes only about 3 pulls to start and idles without stalling like it did before.

Had I known about this I wouldn't have spent money to purchase other parts so hopefully someone other than me can learn from this: A seized clutch could be the reason for hard starting and idling problems.

I wanted to thank all of you, specially to Grumpy, for all the help, guidance and for running such an excellent site!!

Thank you for coming back with a final report on the problem and solution, Dario. Our archives are much more useful, and interesting, when we finish up knowing the actual answers. Otherwise they are a bit like a murder mystery with the last chapter missing.

I'll close this thread. If anyone needs to post to it, just PM a moderator.
