I am not being informed if there are replies to my post, even though I have notification on. Is this normal?

There is wear on the cylinder but without knowing ring clearance it is impossible to ascertain how much wear on cylinder or rings.

FS 400 is a Stihl strimmer

Does anyone know the ring gap for this motor, to ascertain wear please.

Hello Mark yes in fact many older single cylinder motors had a valve lifter to ease starting, but not on modern engines that I know of.
