2 of those dang 4 mix hedgetrimmers, HL 100
My landscaper neighbor had his good trimmers and a good Stihl tophandle stolen 2 nights ago.
He brought out these 4 mix things from a lawn business he bought when they went belly up.
I do not want to learn these things but for a good neighbor i guess i need to.
One runs, cranks, and idles fine except it has a faint noise.
Not a hard miss or pop but more like a faint heart murmur.
Some carbon on piston and plug is dark but no carbon growth on it.
Pulled the valve cover and rolled the motor over with the cord, found the valve overlap.
Rockers feel about right, specs say .004.
I set valve lash at .002 on the race car every week for years so i trust my feel to get valve rattle close.
Them pushrods are tooth pics.
Now i need to find carb kits for these Zama carbtraptions.
