Stihl BR 600 Problems, Valve Adjusting
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 гру 2022
- Is your Stihl 4 mix leaf blower losing power or not running correctly? maybe it is becoming harder to pull over, if so you should get in and check the valve clearances. I show in depth how to set the valves correctly on a stihl br600, and show the kit needed for proper valve adjustment.
Doing this regularly (yearly maybe) will prolong the life of the machine and ensure optimum running performance.

Great great video my friend!
I have the br 600 and finally did this today. Worked out fantastic. Once again, thank you. Saved me 200 bucks!!
Great to hear 👍
$200 to adjust valves? Im a mechanic on small engine stuff and im shocked at that.
@@thechum9653 $22 at the Stihl dealer/mechanic
Good idea to check the clearance again after you have adjusted them!
Yep absolutely agree, did i not mention that in the video?
@@RJLgardens You did - I was just saying that it was a good idea that I hadn't thought of before so Thank You!
@@geomark8851 Oh right 😂, nice 1. Thought I'd forgotten to mention it. 👍
My teacher recommended this video because we are having trouble with the br 600. We thought it was the carburetor but that might not be the case so we are going to check the valves
👍 yep worth checking.
@@RJLgardens IT was the valves
Nice one 👍
Thanks mate, I’ve just done this on my 600 and that helped a lot, cheers and happy new year.
Nice one, all the best 👍
Fair play mate, you really put some time into looking after your kit👌
👍I'd be skint if i had to take all my kit to a shop for maintenance 😅
@@RJLgardens you're right there😅
Amazing detail, thank you so much!
No problem 👍
Thank you so much! Well done!
👍
Well done, sir! One suggestion: when you are adjusting the valves we can't see how much turn you are putting on the screws each time. It would be helpful if you said "eighth turn" or "quarter turn" to let us know the size of the increments.
Anyway, thanks much!
Thanks, Its hard to give any specific turns as every engine will need different amounts, its very miniscule turns though. 👍
I cut the plastic cover above the spark plug to save time with the wires
To make your own its easier if to just cut a 45-degree angle at the top of your feeler gauge, you just need a small point at the top of the feeler gauge to fit into the valve section. It doesn't need to have the rounded tip at the top of the gauge unless you want it to look the same. Just trying to save you a couple of dollars.
Yeh its not that critical i know, think i would still prefer the shape of the cut off edges though 😅.
Thanks my local Stihl dealer wanted $150.00 to do this adjustment. They said the whole blower needed to come apart. B.S
Really? is that the going rate these days, blimey that seems steep. Im glad i do my own now 😅
Sounds like a rip off to me.
Would this fix a Br600 with low compression? I pull on the starter and feel no resistance
Could be a number of issues, worthwhile checking the valves though.
Not necessary, one valve is open, other is closed. Easy...
Only easy when you know what your doing, this is the way beginners should do it, less chance of cocking something up 😅
