    Folks

    I've a hedge trimmer from Lidl that has had very little use.

    Trying to get it going yesterday and it just won't budge...or cuts out seconds if it does start.

    New petrol and 2 stroke put in.

    Any ideas?

    whats the spark plug like ?
    take out the sparkplug and give the contacts a rub of sandpaper

    could be a number of things..too rich a mix, too weak a mix, blocked up air filter, dirty spark plug, dirty carburettor?

    if all else fails try this


    BTW....try getting into the habit of using a funnel with a filter when topping up fuel...prevents dirt getting into carburettor
