Hello! and a br800x question...

[lilspenny]

Well it's great to be here. I grew up in a tractor and ope business where I was a certified grease monkey from age 14-18. I only screamed for help once... when I had 52 Snapper Comets awaiting my expertise. I have 18 years of experience running my own lawn care (mow, edge, blow, bushes) business. I've always done my own repairs and maintenance. Now, I'm stumped. I was given a BR800X blower for Christmas which is the replacement for a 20 year old BR420 which is still running great. The BR800 may need a slight carb adjustment and my Stihl 4mm hex screwdriver doesn't fit. What do I need to override being outsmarted by Stihl? Thanks, and I look forward to being sround you guys!

Have you tried the tools in the tool kit provided by Stihl? There is always a small orange screwdriver for carbs

According to the repair manual, should be the 5910-890-2307, which is the standard 4mm stihl adjusting tool for the high and low jet, theres no serial number breaks that i see on any of the parts, nor any mentioned in the repair manual.

Are you sure you habe the correct screwdriver? Stihl has 2 different hex drivers that are not compatible. Verify you have the correct part number driver...

Hmmmm... yes, but the blower was a gift purchased out of state and the only tool was the plug wrench. I appreciate your response.

Wow, I have the 2307... two of them, and they are either too small, or something I can't determine. Attached is a photo from my phone. Thanks!

I believe you might need this tool:

Looks like they are hex shaped

Okay, I found the proper tool to adjust the high and low on the BR800X. After what seemed like endless search I came across a YouTube video which showed the tool, so I looked on Ebay and found the OEM Stihl driver. It's Genuine Stihl Screwdriver Adjust Tool - 5910 890 2314. It's a perfect fit! Thanks for your assistance in this matter. I suppose I really didn't buy it but just dreamed I did, because possession will get us 10 years in the Stalag 13-C cooler,
