Stihl HS 86 T
« on: April 24, 2015, 06:02:39 pm »
This Stihl hedge trimmer is difficult for my wife to start. This is supposed to be "easy start" but it has so much compression it is sometimes difficult for me to pull over.
Wife has no problems starting any of my chainsaws, blowers or weed trimmers, just this one hedger.
I rebuilt the engine so it has no carbon buildup.
I need to get an adapter for my compression tester to check compression.
I have come to believe all these Stihl hedgers are like this, anyone else have this issue, or have any suggestions.

I have a HS80R20 it seems OK. I also have a Echo HC1500-2E.  The Echo is easier to everything but will not cut as large as the Stihl HS80
