    Turn the gribgrub to the number sixteen position, then grab the mumfus and press it delicately inward, even if it is fully opaque, but not if it is 30% opaque or less. Great! Now you're ready to take a firm hold of the oingy boingy and beat the devil out of it. You only get one shot at this because if you blow it, you'll flood the engine. Next we're going to place it firmly on the ground. If you place it un-firmly on the ground you'll flood the engine. At this point you'll want to take a look at your crank bus. Is it fully depressed? If it is, you're gonna want to get a counselor for it. A depressed crank bus will flood your engine.

    The reason there are nearly 250,000 views for this is because Still blowers don't start worth a darn.

    Thank you. I used a backpack leaf blower about 20 years ago, daily. But I seem to have forgotten everything. Now I’m off to use the hand held blower we’ve owned for a few years, but I never bothered to relearn.

    What you did not show is that you have to pull the starter rope 6 or 8 times until it actually starts when it`s cold - I own many Stihl products and they ALL start hard when they are cold!

    Why the hell can't you simply label the choke switch positions to say 'Choke ' and 'Run', instead of using goofy hieroglyphs that mean nothing to anybody born on this planet? If you're concerned that people in non-English speaking countries won't be able to figure out what the word 'Run' means then those people probably shouldn't be operating gas-powered equipment anyway.

    • @ronaldstorberg2677
      @ronaldstorberg2677 4 роки тому +2

      I agree 100%. Run / Start .....how difficult is that.
      Every Stihl product I own, blower, chain saw and weedeater are the most difficult pieces of equipment I own to start. A continual problem. I will never own another piece of Stihl equipment.

    • @conesinker_4209

      If you don't know basic 'choke' and 'run' symbols you shouldn't be using a leafblower

    • @qxrpze4725
      @qxrpze4725 3 роки тому +2

      1 symbolises the choke being shut & engaged, 1 is open & disengaged. Very basic knowledge, learn your basics.

      Alb Ellis and Herbert I agree! High priced pieces of junk, reminds me of the Mercury kicker motor that I took off my boat and put my old 1960 Evenrude boat Motor that starts right up. The little indicators should have letters like Choke, run. There has got to be a better brand of blowers than these cold starting pieces of junk plastic. They need a place to put ones foot on it while it’s on the ground.
      Bought the best model they this summer before going to the back pack one.
