Stihl FS 94 Range Questions & Answers

No. I haven't noticed any.

Mine used to run perfectly, now it will idle but won't rev, it bogs down. I've tried the mixture screw, the air filter is fine, fresh fuel, new spark plug, spark arrestor is fine, checked all fuel lines and tank filter. This has only been used about15 times so I'm at a bit of a loss here?

No. If it bogs down remove the spark arrestor, that will be the issue. It happens with all small engine motors with a spark arrestor fitted. I use them commercially had this issue many times.

Thanks Mike E. I'll give that a go, so I can run it without the spark arrestor?

No

With the right head that will take that size

I have the speed feed head

Yes the Stihl FS94 series, like just about every other petrol-powered garden tool, has a carburetor. You can find replacements for them at your local Stihl dealer or on eBay. I would strongly suggest you get anything like that serviced or replaced at your dealer though unless you are a mechanic and are comfortable with your knowledge of the machine and what everything does and where it goes.

As James states, they do have them and they are available as spares. But if you are asking me personally, no I don't sell anything. I just reviewed the trimmer as I own one and was happy with it.

Hi James, I believe the current FS94 series come with the "E" models and none of them comes without the "easy start" feature. Only the FS85 series or the series above FS94 (e.g. FS130, FS250) come with non "E".

Personally, i've found that it's quite easy to start the beast while holding it in the air if you want to but put it on the lawn and pull the cord is even easier. I didn't have to pull the cord that many times and i definitely did not have to pull the cord slowly. Only 2 pulls and it roars.

Cheers,

Hi James, go with the 94. I do the same as you whilst starting the 94 I have at the moment. So far very strong cord but it does start easily......I've had no dramas in 6 months with it and it gets a good run. I also don't pull the cord slowly but it takes 3 pulls max.after the initial turn over in the motor. Great machine the 94. Go for it.

Thanks Martin and Panania for the responses! Good to know. I am definitely going with the 94 now!

Im sure you won't be disappointed I got one today its a great bit of kit really powerful and starting while clipped on 1 pull easy and get the more expensive oil as well you will notice the difference plus fuel stays good for a lot longer

Hey Rob thanks for the reply yes I did go the 94 and I am very happy with it. I use the top oil Stihl has (I think its called HP Ultra or something) and yes it starts very easy. Best trimmer I have ever bought.
