STIHL TRIMMER RUNNING ROUGH (FIXED)

#mechanic #repair #stihl

Recently I picked up a stihl string trimmer FS55r that starts but won’t rev up and runs poorly. Let’s see what it needs to run like it should.

i use stihl fs55r for comercial grade use i also use a fs 75 and and a 4 stroke

I suspect that purge bulb had a very small crack. Didn’t see you test it when you pulled the carb off. Either that or just very small debris clogging up an orifice somewhere.

I had the same problem with my trimmer. I fixed it when I stopped using the Tru-Fuel and started making my own gas. Now my trimmer runs great. Tru-Fuel is a joke. After so many uses, Tru-Fuel gums up the carb.

Nice fix Alex, if you had to choose an Echo or Stihl which would you go with and why? Me i went with the SRM225 because it gets such great reviews for pros and home owners. Also the warranty for residential is amazing. Do you think i made the best decision?

[brianconnor]

Looks like it was just bogging down, adjusting the high and low carb screw could have had it running in minutes? Thats a common fix on those stihl engines

Hey I’m starting to fix small engines as well and i’ve gotten pretty familiar with push mowers and stroke engine stuff but riding mowers seem to be really daunting and hard to work on. How long did it take you to get this good at working on riding mowers and do you have any advice on getting good with them. Thanks
