Hope this is the right please to get some advice, not a boat but it is a small two stroke engine.
My Stihl BG55 leaf blower has offered fantastic service for many years, however this week I got it out and it started no problem but it only runs for about 15 seconds and then it dies and is a pig to get it started again, and then again it dies after about approximately 15 seconds.
It's the same fuel that I used all day on Monday with my Stihl hedge cutters with no problems, I've had the carb off and cleaned it out twice with carb cleaner, I've checked the tank breather and tried it with the fuel cap loose. I've checked the fuel filter on the pick up pipe in the fuel tank. I've have the plug out.
I've tried a Google search but it came up with not much help really, so I hoping one of you fine fellows may be able to help.
I have found a new carb plug etc on Ebay, but it won't arrive for a couple of weeks and I have a mess to clear up now.
Any ideas please?
Many thanks
Toby
