small engine - hydraulic lock?
Stihl string trimmer, 2-cycle. It's been fading, and hard to start when
hot. I thought I'd check the compression when hot. (It was 50-ish). Then, I thought I'd squirt some oil in the cylinder, and see what effect it would have on compression. (Not much.) ... But, now it's really hard to turn over, when the plug is in. Oops. Just two little squirts of oil. It spins easily with the plug out. Hydraulic lock? I dried out the crankcase, and put it upside down to drain the cylinder. Everything seems dry, but cranking is still hard. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, George |
