I have two stihl saws. After faffing about with them, they now wont start (was adjusting the mix)
Does anyone know of a registered stihl repairer? Could do with these before the big garage project.

Turn the mixer screws anticlockwise till they stop then turn them back 3 full turns. It should start then but it'll be rough and you can adjust from there. Never adjust mix screws with a cold or non running engine. Failing that you don't need a registered dealer any lawnmachinery service company would have them going in minutes. Give the sparks a clean and use a 50:1 mix.
