Not a successful week for FS 70 trimmers

[jekjr]

Bought a new FS 70 trimmer Saturday it ran Monday and about an hour Tuesday and the motor locked up on it. Shop said it was a bearing on the crank.

The old reliable FS 70 we have been running since the spring of 2013 had the muffler come off. This afternoon I realized the bolts are broken off in the motor.

If you purchased it new Saturday they should exchange it for a new unit and send that one back to stihl.

Might should but they have parts ordered to fix it.
