Pretty damn good how to for someone that " doesn't do too many how-to videos" Very clear and understandable instruction. Thanks for hooking me up, I'll let you know how it works out.

[VaughnMarnyKenney]

Absolutely brilliant spent a bunch of time trying to adjust the carb on my fs 40c just would not run well. Drilled the muffler instantly better a couple tweaks runs like new. Best video ever!!

Very nicely explained, please make more videos. i am 67 years old with one foot in the grave, i wish there was youtube in my younger years i would have learnt alot from people like you. God bless

Man that exhaust screen was my problem. 5 years of running my 56 RC and it was boggin at full throttle. I watched this curious about the idle screws and learned about that exhaust screen. Took it out and cleaned and running like a champ again!! Thx dude

Freaking awesome you can't believe how right on the money you were I have a neighbor's FC 40 string trimmer and she complained that it was vibrating really badly at idle... What was really happening was it was loading up on fuel so bad it never got up on the RPM and the cylinder was loaded with fuel. So I fly a lot of remote control gas airplanes and I thought okay it's either lower high speed needle not even thinking about that crazy muffler and you were right on the money that screen in the muffler was totally plug in about 5 years from when she bought it. I actually loosened a little screw there at that port and the screen came out with needle nose pliers and the freaking thing ran like new. You made me look like a hero LOL. When I gave that thing back to her and said no problem my chest was puffed out so big it must have looked like a peacock! Thanks again. I'm a national service manager for a machine tool builder here in the US and it just goes to show you sometimes you got to look at the simple stuff! I was ready to tear that carburetor off and have my way with it but luckily I washed your video first 👍👍👍

Good down to earth video now going to try it all out

[BetoElViejo]

Nate, thanks for the clear tuning instructions. In order to prevent any damage to the engine by drilling a hole in the muffler, you can remove the rear case, back out the retainer screw for the spark arrestor screen, and remove the screen with a pair of needle nose pliers. The screen can be cleaned with a torch and reinstalled, or it can be left out altogether. The case is easily removed and replaced with a torx bit. Just be sure the pull start is properly engaging before tightening the screws. This was explained to me by an authorized Stihl mecanic.

Just found your channel while looking up how to fix my stihl multi tool motors working. I think your channel is going to do really good, keep pumping out the content. Very good charisma and fun to watch. I hope you do some more maintenance videos.

[rickcornelius]

First thing.
Thank you!
Your instructions are easily understandable.
After following your instructions, my trimmer is running better than it did when it was brand new.

[shawneewillis]

I searched online for hours and watched multiple videos. This is the only one that fully helps me get my adjustments right. Getting the concept doesn't necessarily make one get the settings right. This kind of thing is hard to learn unless you have someone there teaching you. That's what this was. Thank you!

[Casterman]

When Killinger says watch this it’s always worth it! He’s not wrong here either! Thanks great info!

[leakysales]

Leakylou, you had explained very well and helped me a lot on how to tune the Stihl brush cutter. now I do not have to take my Stihl to a Garden tool shop. thank you for your support. looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

[wayneperry]

[dalecallihan]

I gotta say Nate you are very helpful and absolutely great at explaining things, I just found your channel and I am so glad that i did because my FS 40c runs like a brand new one after following your instructions on how to and i want to thank you for that, After watching this video i am now a new subscriber to your channel and i can’t wait to watch your other videos because i finally found someone that knows how to explain things about fixing and doing maintenance on Weed Eaters, I’m looking forward to watching future videos of yours so keep up the good work my friend it is well appreciated. Have a great day and wishing Peace And Love too you and your family ☮️☮️☮️

Nate Excellent video my 8 year old Stihl FS 49 C is running like brand new ! It was bogging down and drilling a hole in the muffler did the trick . Also very clear directions on how to set the idle . Thanks again ! Steve
