What are your problems? I was thinking about a stihl for my next trimmer, because the one I have is like 9 years old and runs well.

I have a few Sthil products. I am impressed with their Easy Start system.

The one you have is a great one the older true 2 strokes were great the fs 90r just is not ready for the market yet I loved it when I first had it but I really hate it now :thumbdown:

I would get a shindawa t242 that is my next trimmer :thumbsup:

I've been using the FS 90 for probably four years and never had a problem, the 4 mix unit are well proven. Sounds like an operator problem to me. What's the unit doing or not doing?

That's the way it's designed to run, (WIDE OPEN) The recommendation is to run a trimmer or an edger is full throttle because running it too slowly will contribute to carbon buildup in the exhaust port, piston rings, muffler, and contribute to fouling the spark plug. You can ruin an engine running it at a low speed.

Funny it that way I had fs45 (true 2stroke) an ran it at low speeds all the time never did have any problems with it

(I owned it for 3 years before I sold it)

Sometimes you would look silly running it at full throttle for just a few blades of grass!

I HATE my buddies trimmer. its a stihl. its just big and clunky. i borrowed it today to cut brush and the thing was junk. also i have had to adjust the idle and the carb, and the arrestor screen is always getting gummed up. i wouldnt buy one. i would go for an echo personally. i like stihl chainsaws though. no problems in that department. their blowers are good too. ive never worked on their blowers.

Just another reason I want a shindawa or a echo anything but chain saws as long as they make good saw I will contine to buy them but trimmer an stuff sorry I am done with them also I check the websites of echo an shindawa they say slow the trimmer down when trimming around fences an landscape blocks to save string an to keep from tearing up the landscape so they are made to run slow or fast
