FS 130 shaft vibration

[jer_d]

I've greased the head and even replaced the head, but my Stihl FS 130 still has a bad vibration. It's not that bad after first cranking but gets really bad after just a few minutes. This weed eater is only a couple years old and does not have that many hours on it. Has anyone else had this problem? The dealer where I bought it was of no help since they wouldn't run it long enough for it to get hot.

Thanks,

Jerry

are the beaters or strings an even length? Anything that puts it out of balance is going to make it vibrate. Also check all the mounts and bolts.
