Weekend Fun - Make the strimmer live!

Fitz · 2006-08-04T15:40:04+00:00

Bought a Black and Decker petrol strimmer th other day. Bought notrunning because the starter pull cord is broken. I need to dismantlethe beast and see if I can ressurect it.I've asked B&D for some diagrams having described the model to them (ithas no uniquely identifying numbers or marks that match the productlist on their website).It's 2 stroke and I was told that up until the cord broke it wasworking fine.It's a 2-stroke.If anyone's got any hints or tips in relation to taking it apart,cleaning it, putting it back together etc. then I'd be glad to hearthem!cheersSteve

I use a cloth glove over a rubber glove (latex is too thin - thorns can penetrate it easily).

Or a paintbrush is a good applicator.

I did try this once on an old McCulloch chainsaw I was trying to resurrect. If I'd been thinking properly I would have realised from the direction of rotation, that the nut I'd attached the drill + extension bar + socket to had a left-hand thread, and it and the flywheel wouldn't have unscrewed themselves and gone hurtling off into the bushes...
