Hello Stihl Forum and Muhammad, thanks for the welcome!

I've have a number of Stihl chainsaws (029, 031, 041, 075, 076) that I use for milling and for cutting up firewood at our cabin. I recently picked up a couple of non-working Stihl trimmers (FS90av, FS55RC) and I could use some help/advice on how to get them working. The FS90av is an older trimmer from the 90's and the FS55RC is more recent. I've been able to get owner's manuals for both but I'd really like to find parts diagrams and service manuals for both before I start to take them apart. I've called Stihl and have gone to a few dealers looking for them but haven't had any luck finding them. Can someone help me out with these?

Thanks,
Roger from Seattle

:welcome:
I have all the stuff , parts/ repairs for a plain FS 55.
No idea what the RS bit vries but pm me I can send it to you direct.
Stihl will not allow any of their IP to reside on web server,

Got nothing on the 90 but have the 80-85 and the 83 and the 110.
One of them should be virtually the same .
Owners manuals for all those are available so if you can work out which looks the closest I can shoot that through to you as well.

I too, have a good size collection of STIHL parts manuals, I have the parts ONLY, manuals for your FS90-av & FS55-rc,trimmers, ALSO, the parts manuals for your, 029,031,041,075,& 076 saws. BUT... as (Bertsmobile1) mentioned,.. STIHL is a real BASSTERD about forcing the close-down of ANY sites links, displaying their manuals.. I can PM them to you but ..I need your word as a gentleman you will NEVER post these on the Internet, you CAN fwd in an E-mail or PM but you must be careful, STIHL manuals are VERY hard to get a hold of now, please excuse my OVER-emphasis on this, but somewhere down the line, someone else will need this info and should STIHL see the site's address it's GONE -- FOREVER !!
PM me if you agree, ...Boo

Stihl's unnecessarily antagonistic behavior towards entities possessing their repair manuals is one reason why I don't support Stihl.

I can understand, NOT wanting to release their service manuals, they obviously want the consumers to have to go to the dealers for service work, it might be a liability issue among others, BUT having access to a machines P/Ns shouldn't really be an issue, other than the fact they want you to visit the dealers for that info. maybe so once inside, the dealers can sell more of their product. or to lead you away from buying from a third party entity. They DO have some of the best equipment out there, so why be a friggen bunch of BASSTERDS about it ???? ..:smiley_aafz: ....:thumbdown:..:mur:

Hello, I am new to the forum and from Ontario Canada. My user name is waterboywt3wd2 and I have an older Stihl 028 Super Chainsaw. I am having a problem with the engine as it will start and rev up then bog out and stall repeatedly. Any thoughts on what will remedy the issue would be appreciated. Looking forward to the forum and may be I can help someone with their problems as well.
