Hello all. Diemaker here from Michigan. Not exactly sure how I got started following the lawn mower forum years back but have continued to follow the Stihl forum now. I have a string trimmer, 2 chainsaws, and 2 backpack blowers. All are still running just fine but never know when I might need some advice about keeping them running fine.

I have an FS 45 Trimmer and recently purchased a BG 50 blower. I'm here for advice on best practices to keep them running at their best.

Hello Stihl forum - I have a BG56 leaf blower which would not start. I have changed the carburetor and the fuel lines, the air filter, the spark plug and the coil and it will still not start. Any ideas as to what I could try next? Thanks

Hi, New to this forum. I own a Stihl 025 chainsaw that I've had for over 20 years. Great tool.

Hello, new member here. Currently trying to figure out what’s wrong with my stihl fs74 trimmer. It won’t start.

Spark + fuel + compression = bang
One of the 3 is missing
So some where in the dark pull the plug out, lay it on a metal part and pull the starter
Spark = good , no spark , try a new plug
Still no spark take off the cover and remove the small wire form the coil
Spark = bad switch or chaffed wire , no spark = dead coil

Assuming you got a spark, next is to check using a can of carb cleaner
Remove the spark plug & spray as TINY amount down the plug hole then pull the rope
Engine goes bong = carb problem
Engine no bang = timing or compression
Let us know what happens.
