English / USA Rewind Starter If engine is down on power, difficult to start or runs poorly at idling speed, first check the spark plug. : Remove spark plug - see "Starting / Stopping the Engine". : Clean dirty spark plug. : Check electrode gap (A) and readjust if necessary - see "Specifications". : Use only resistor type spark plugs of the approved range. Rectify problems which have caused fouling of spark plug: : Too much oil in fuel mix. : Dirty air filter. : Unfavorable running conditions, e.g. operating at part load. Fit a new spark plug after approx. 100 operating hours or earlier if the electrodes are badly eroded. To help prolong the wear life of the starter rope, observe the following points: : Pull the starter rope only in the direction specified. : Do not pull the rope over the edge of the guide bushing. : Do not pull out the rope more than specified since it might break. : Do not let the starter grip snap back, guide it slowly into the housing. 1 See also chapter "Starting / Stopping the Engine"! Replace a damaged starter rope in good time or have it replaced by your STIHL dealer! 000BA036 TR To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, use only spark plugs authorized by STIHL. Always press spark plug boot (2) snugly onto spark plug terminal (1) of the proper size. (Note: If terminal has detachable SAE adapter nut, it must be attached.) A loose connection between spark plug boot and ignition wire connector in the boot may create arcing that could ignite combustible fumes and cause a fire. KM 55 23
