Old Stihl FS80 Trimmer-I'm Exasperated!!!
I have an old style Stihl FS 80 Brushcutter/Trimmer that is about 30 years old.
I really, really like this machine.
However, I have had a lot of trouble getting and keeping it running. Parts are hard to come by and the dealers only want to sell you a new one.
Anyhow, I have a lot of new parts and probably put way more into it than I should.
Also, I am less than mechanically clever.
I have a brand new carb, intake, filter and lots of other stuff.
I have gotten it further than all the dealers I have taken it to.
I just can't get it to run right.
It starts easily and will idle all day.
However, I can't get it to run full throttle. I have messed with the carb screws over and over
Am I looking in the wrong place?
Plato once said, “Wise men speak because they have something to say. Fools, because they have to say something.”
"Fere libenter homines id quod volunt credunt." "Men willingly believe what they wish to believe."
