Why won't my Stihl strimmer start. It has got fuel in it , what more does the ungrateful contraption want ?

Has it got a spark?

 

[Illaveago]

Yes ! Check for a spark first and then see if petrol is getting through .
Sometimes if a petrol engine hasn't been run for a long time gunge can form in the carburettor .

I had this issue with my Stihl chainsaw, after non use for a while, it was flooded, try taking out the spark plug and pulling the cord 10 times without it in, then try with, no choke, good luck.

Edit.... I flooded it

I am in a bit of a grumpy mood .
It is sunny out and it would be nice to go for a ride. My conscience is saying that I should stay in to be on the safe side . I have an exercise bike but find that it is boring ! Part of the fun I find in cycling is freewheeling . I tried that on the exercise bike and almost went over the handlebars.
I'm also grumpy with the weather peeps. They seem to be getting things wrong a lot more now . Today they said that there will be a weather front moving in later today . It looks like there is grey cloud already moving in from the West.
Rant over ! I think In will go outside now whilst there is still some sunshine .

Anyone near Brackley, around 16:28:17.1
approximately, yesterday.

 

[Illaveago]

Well that's enough exercise for me today ! Up and down the stairs more than 4 times already !
I know that for some people this may be difficult .

Especially if they live in a bungalow !

Yes some stonking weather coming up, but i am staying put, you never know do you?
The irony is most of my cycling this year has been in either freezing or really windy conditions (those stormy weekends feel like years ago?). Need to get the turbo set up pronto, the old legs are going into sedentary phase. Plenty of nice long roads and tracks ahead of us later in the year

There was a pip in my seedless tangerine, this morning..
If I was allowed out, I'd take it to Trading Standards!!

 

[carlosfandangus]

Just seen this on faceache, made me laugh.

 

[Andy in Germany]

I went out for a ride.

I'm back now.

It's really quiet, even the Autobahns are empty.

Success it started and ran just fine. Now there is another problem which is taxing my brain cell . I have forgotten how to replace the cutter string

If agora means marketplace, then I appear to have both claustrophobia and agoraphobia at the same time. I never knew that was possible.

Beautiful Wife has announced that Aldi was selling "British foods" yesterday.
She bought some ginger jam.

She told me this after I'd finished my breakfast...
