Tell him to buy a Shindaiwa or Redmax
Id tell him to put in good mix and adjust the valves atleast every two seasons and he wont run into those problems.Tell him to buy a Shindaiwa or Redmax
If you get a later model 600, with the hardened parts, run Ultra oil, and keep the valves adjusted, I doubt you'd ever have a problem with one of these. Or, you can buy a traditional 2-stroke Redmax or Shindaiwa and not have to worry about any of that
I know that doestn' help you Nik, but I don't know the answer to your question. You would have to completely remove the engine in order to visually inspect the cam, and followers. Then you'd have to remove the piston, and then the valves, in order to decarbon. Just more reasons not to own one of these.
The only thing you have to do is remove the sparkplug.Actually the decarbonizer does a pretty dang good job, not spotless but cleans them enough.IMO
is it an aftermarket decarbonizer or Stihl? Would be good to have a can or two of that stuff on hand.

The only other thing Ive found that causes carbon buildup is running at part throttle alot or on and off the throttle.while he's had it (he bought it used) it's only had either trufuel or non-ethanol 91 octane mixed with ultra @ 50:1 (by me). When he first got it a few weeks ago, Andre was of the opinion that it was very underpowered. I just thought Andre was spoiled by his Shindaiwa...
