Starts but wont run!!! Mc Culloch Whipper snipper?G'day guys
I have a McCulloch whipper snipper that is being a total pain in my ars*.
The problem im having is that when i pull start it, it fires up and revs normally, but after about 2-3 seconds of running, it sounds like it starts to run out of fuel and then just stops. Im not 100% sure that it is running out of fuel or if the ignition is breaking down, but the spark is very strong and blue when i take out the plug and pull the cord. I have taken off the carby and put fuel straight into the chamber and it will run temporaraly then die when the fuel is burnt up. So my only other thought is that the fuel supply is being blocked some how. But if that is the case why does it start but then not continue to run. Please help
Thanks justin

hi mate ,
it could be a spark arrest screen in the muffler,take the muffler off and you will find a wire mesh ,take it out and start it and see if this makes any difference,if it does that is your problem,clean it with petrol and put it back.

I have a cheap-sh*t Talon w/snipper with the same problem. I replaced the fuel lines & away it went. 1 of the lines had perished/hardened/cracked at the point where it goes thru a grommet into the fuel tank. As they require positive pressure to operate (it was losing pressure at the crack) it was unable to keep fuel pressure up after priming & starting. Simple fix, but about $4.50/foot. Don't forget to dip it into hot water to soften it up prior to fitting over/thru couplings. Be sure to have a look at your pick-up filter while in the tank.
