The widow of and old friend of mine has just given me a Shindy T230X to get running for her as she wants to keep doing the gardening around their house since he passed away.
At present it's not starting. It has good compression. It has a full tank of what I presume is stale 2 stroke mix so that will be getting emptied. I will add a new spark plug, filter, clean the cooling vents, check the fuel lines for perishing and check the filter in the fuel tank.
I have heard in the past of people having issues with starting these particular models and them also stalling for no apparent reason.
They have an electronic ignition module and no High - Low adjustment screws.
If anyone has experience with maintenance on this or a similar Shindy can you let me know what else I should look at or even pinpoint a direct problem that you know of with these?
