Title: First time ever
Post by: Al Smith on April 24, 2017, 06:10:39 pm
I have never in my life time ever had a two cycle plug carbon foul until today .It was on a fairly new Stihl FS 40C weed wacker .It looked just fine ,no fire .Prissy little 10 MM plug ,didn't have another .

As luck would have it I have a Champion spark plug sand blaster that's likely as old as myself .that did the trick .What amazed me was the plug was a nice tanish brown color exactly what it's supposed to look like.Live and learn they say .

Friend had one in a poulan 260 I rebuilt foul or go bad. Said it was idling and just died. Wouldnt restart. He flooded it trying. I told him how to let wait after flooding then put a new plug in to try. Fired right up.
