Yeah my trimmers have the guard removed as well, but Stihl will deny warranty because of it.

Look at the valves on the other side.

Talking to the distributor sales rep is the quickest way to get any results.

OK, they will void the warranty if the shield has been removed. Call the distributor yourself, and ask to talk to the salesperson for your area.

Did you remove the trimmer shield?

You need to disassemble and clean your carb, do it on a clean table, so you do not lose anything. That scum on your solenoid tip, has also scummed up your carb.

See if the solenoid makes a "click" when the key is turned to the "on" position. The solenoid is #947.

Turning the high speed screw to the right makes the mixture more lean {less fuel}, and the 2 cycle engines will run faster the farther you lean it out, to a point. You will reach a point that the rpms stop going higher, and that is getting into the danger area, as running too lean for very...

Yes, cw goes more lean. I suggested that you swap the carbs so you can know for sure that the problem is the carb. One carb make have a leaky needle, or incorrect lever height, making it perform differently.

If you have 2 units with the same carb, and 1 doesn't run right, swap the carbs and see which one runs right.

Here is the next page.

It looks like you may have limiter caps like this.

The unit is newer, so I don't have any service manual. But in general, just as a test, take off the air filter and start. See if the performance changes any. If so, was the air filter if it is washable, or get a new one. I have seen folks pull their hair out, and their trouble was a dirty...

We need the model numbers off of the engine to be of more help. I would guess the valves are too tight myself.

If you are the same guy as on the other site, put up some pics of the linkages and carb area.

You used that same tool? #4180 890 2700?

That is why you need to buy their piston stop and follow their procedure.

Taking off one of these fanwheels is something you need to do, to see what it takes.

The impact doesn't do much, I had to buy the Stihl piston stop and use a wrench/bar. Otherwise I use the impact.

I'm a little late to declare it......

It is pretty straightforward. Get on the ground and watch, while someone moves the pedal.

Just a quick test. Take off the air filter and start it. See if it improves the performance. It may just need a good bath.

Wait until dark, then watch the area while someone cranks the engine. If you see any spark, that is normally your problem area.

Just a quick test, unplug one plug wire and start. Plug it back in. Then try the other side, see if it runs on both, or just one side.

Stop by the Stihl dealer and get a pawl, most aftermarket starter parts are junk. You could get the 2 pawl spring, they should have one.

Clockwise/reverse thread.

A blade kit will look like this.

Yes, the arbor comes off like a bolt/nut, reverse thread, and you can attach a blade, or another universal type head. They will come in a form like this.

It looks like it should come off easily, and putting a replacement head, or even a blade is fairly easy. This outfit here looks to be over on you side of the world. https://www.diyspareparts.com/parts/echo/diagrams/srm-250/3802/

See if you can remove the arbor, it goes with the old trimmer head. See what is underneath. Just put a drill bit in the hole to lock things, but don't use too much force.

No, it is not normal. Adjusting the carb involves fuel/air mixture adjustments along with rpms, and incorrectly doing it can cause piston damage. Here is the pic of a fs56 carb, and its adjustment screws.

Yeah, I have been out of the mower repair game for a while. Doesn't look like the support the newer Snappers very well.

It looks like the newer Snappers have vastly different part numbers, doing a search of just that one part number, I came up with a few different brands, so that company made the model for different brands, I suppose. Is this what the part you need look like this...

First you need to work with the original part number, and then do a search under Snapper. Folks like me get their hands on old inventory from closed mower shops, and sell them on e-bay and such. Here is a snip of the Snapper category on my e-bay store. Note that I use the original Snapper...

Take off the plug and put up a pic of the tip of it.

Yeah, you really need to replace the lines along with the grommet. Also, you may have hooked the lines back up incorrectly.

I uploaded the manual for you here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/866086936781821/files/files

"Hour Meter is Always On" would be a good title for a book.

Just a quick test, unplug one of the plugs and start it., then plug it back in and try the same on the other side.

Wait until after dark, then try to start. If you see any sparks, that would be a problem area.

So have you removed the valve covers yet? Make sure that the pushrods are in place. Here is a handy web site. https://outdoorpowerinfo.com/engine_specs/briggs_valve_gaps.asp

Just disconnect the kill wire going to the ignition coil, and then check for spark when you use the pull start. Also, snap a few pics so we can get an idea of what you have.

While you have the picture on your computer screen, go to the dropdown menu "search", and type in "snipping tool" and do a screenshot of it, then upload that one.

Look closely at the fuel line, espesially where it bends going onto the carb, they are well known for cracking. Also check and make sure that the impulse line is still attached to both nipples.

Did you replace it with a Stihl carb, or an aftermarket one. It sounds like you should richen up the mix, you need to remove the limiter caps to dial it in. Also inspect the fuel line and filter, and make sure you have clean fresh fuel.

Take out the plugs and crank the engine a bit, in case there is any oil/gas is in the combustion area.

Pour out the fuel, and mix a fresh batch. Always the first step.
