Mcculloch Hedge trimmer, Virgina MH542P carburettor

Hi

I Have a Mcculloch Hedge trimmer, Virgina MH542P, which I can not loger get to start.

I was using at the weekend to cut my hedge, got one side done, but on turning it off, it will now not start.

I was have a bit of trouble with it before, but  now it is dead.

Been through all the basics, fuel, spark, filter.

I think it might need a new diaphragm, it is not visabley split.

The car just says "ZAMA" on it with a 32, but dont think that is a model type.

Can anyone help?

PS it is a B&Q ex one.

Found it now!

It lists the kit as either the GND18 for just the diaphragm or the RB28 for full rebuild.


I just need the gaskets and diaphragm for £9 delivered off fleebay.

Well the carb kit came today, and still it will not fire!

I have changed the fuel, checked the piston rings, still has good compression.

Checked the adjustment screws to std settings.

On taking spark plug out just is very wet with fuel?

I have only checked the spark with the plug out and touching the cylinder head...so I guess not under load. How do I do it under load?

Yes the ignition coil is about the gearbox.

Thanks, and that would indicate..... ignition coil? or plug?
