My problem with the STIHL HS82R is finally solved - for me in my mind it is closed and mostly because of your posts and advises here in this thread. So I thank all the folks that have given good advise to me : it has helped to finally adjust the hedgetrimmer so that in my mind I have...

I finally did it : I have set the L and LA-screw according to the official papers that have been posted here - so the procedure of highest idle - then LA at 3300rpm and then the L at 2800 rpm. I did this twice and came twice with the L-screw +/- turned out at 1 turn. When the HS82R had worked so...

I am very happy with all your advise and documentation that you have sent in this thread. I still did not tune my famous HS82R - the only reason is that till now I have postponed the action because I am "affraid" to do it. The adjusting of the LA and the L screw do not make me nervous : I am...

I think this is not done. I have several stihl motors with rev.limutation in them and they all start to produce that strange sound when it kicks in to prevent the motor to climb in higher rpm. It is supposed to work that way i think and not by adjusting the throttle cable of course then comes...

How to adjust the H-screw when you have a rev-limiter??? At 2.5 turns out (the standard setting) when opening WOT the rev-limiter comes in at 9300 rpm is it should. At 2.1/8 turns out (like it is set now) the rev-limiter kicks in at 9300 rpm. How can you adjust then because once the machine...

Oké Fish, I understand and know all this, but the main problem on these engines is that there is a rev-limiter that kicks-in. So when you open the throttle you hear the motor going into the rpm-limiter. At 9300 rpm it will be finished and you hear it also that the sound is in the rev-limiter. So...

Hallo again Sorry but I misunderstood the meaning of CW - I thought it ment counterclockwise, but it means CLOCKWISE.... my mistake (but I have problems with the language English - I am a dutch speaking fellow) Swapping carburators is not in my skills. Both machines are brandnew - only used a...

I will definitely continue doing it my way - screwing IN (clockwise) = leaner and screwing OUT (counterclockwise) = richer mixture. Thanks for your help with the papers you have sent .

Startech, are you shure? So 2.1/2 turns out is leaner then 2.1/8 turns out? I thought that screwing tem IN (counterwhise) would make the mixture with less fuel - so leaner. then instead of putting them on 2.1/8 I better put the screw on 2.5/8 as that would be leaner then the original 2.5 turns...

I do not understand this StarTech. Normally they set the H at 2.1/2 turns out. The Brazilian 82R is set at 2 turns out to run them rich. But 2 turns out is leaner then 2 1/2 turns out, isn't it? I thougt that screwing in (clockwise) makes the mixture leaner - mine sits now at 2.1/8 turn in...

My 2 machines "R" and "T" are both identical - they both run great but the "R" runs richer then the "T", although both have the same "turning out of the H-screw", namely both 2.1/8" out. They should do the same, both they don't. That is why I wanted to tune each machine individually with a...

Startech : many thanks for the papers you sent - with that I can do the adjustment of the L-screw and I know the basic for the "H"-screw. It is a pity that there is not much said or written about the "H"screw that for me is the most important adjustion that is to make on my machines. Then only...

At the end both of my machines HS82 work fine , the T-version sounds a little leaner and the exhaust is less greasy (or oily...) and produces less fumes when full throttle. The other one , the R-version works great but a little more oil at the exhaust + more fumes, but it sounds and works great...

Thanks Fish for the pages you showed. I do not have limiter caps on the machines - the airfilter is clean and as new and nice as a brandnew machine. The STANDARDSETTING of the "H"-screw is 1.1/2 turn OPENED; this is the same as the people of STIHL-Belgium wrote. But from 1.1/2 turns out to...

Operators Manual does not mention anything about the settings of the "H" screw. It says only that the machine is set in the factory for optimal results. I do not know any "reputable dealer" - there are already 2 of those stihl-dealers that played with the settings, but none of them are good...

Hello, I bought last year 2 hedgetrimmers STIHL HS82 - the "T" and the "R" version. They do good, only I see and hear that 1 of them, the "R" is running too rich because fumes , sound and more oil coming out of the exhaust. I went to 2 Stihl-dealers here, but both don't seem to be able to...
