What happened to the other 75 pulls? This thing never (never) starts on less than 30 pulls.
I absolutely hate trying to start my Stihl! I’ve NEVER had so much trouble starting one before! Such an aggravation after spending more $ hoping to get a better quality product. I spend as much time trying to start the thing as I do actually using it!
They hard to start but they last forever
I feel this my won't start for shit I'll get that one inital start and it cuts off quicker then anything I'm going to buy something else cause this trying to get it running for over and hour is bullshit
Agreed complete pain in the ass to start.

This was so helpful even in 2022! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you everyone for your views. I'm going to look further for a different product.
0:12 Press primer 5 times
0:21 Set stop (0) position to the start (1) position
0:25 Set choke to the cold position
0:31 If you had just run the engine set choke to the warm position
0:36 Set and hold the triggers into the full throttle position
0:39 Pull the starter rope until the unit tries to start
0:42 Now set choke to the hot position
0:45 START!! Pull the starter rope until the engine starts
Yes this was helpful, but mine will not start driving me crazy
DId exactly that ... multiple times ... NO START!!!
Thanks
You guys are knuckle heads that's why yall can't get it to start .
This works perfectly. Thankyou
For the last 18 months I've not let the lawn crew edge or use a weed eater in my back yard. czcams.com/users/postUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG I didn't like the fact that they just kept cutting the edge of the lawn further and further from the rock lining the flower beds and leaving bare ground. And the grass was trimmed or scalped several feet around trees, etc. It was a constant battle with them so I told them to just mow and no trimming. I have Zoysia grass so it grows pretty slow. Obviously after a while it could use some trimming. I'm in my 80's so I can't do much of it myself.Finally I decided that if I could find a lightweight battery powered trimmer I might be able to do some light trimming. I decided to buy the LST201 20V trimmer. And it works great for my needs. I have back yard with about 150' of flower beds and several trees to be trimmed. I can lightly trim the whole yard with a single charge! The grass I trimmed was only a few inches high but the trimmer was more powerful than I expected.
Thanks, I can start mine now!
Excellent!
Thanks for reminder. I have Stihl String trimmer like the second trimmer. And I have a Stihl hedge trimmer that starts like the first.
On sthil FS90 if it's been sitting in a hot place for a week or more you may need to unscrew the gas cap it builds up to much prussere otherwise I love my tirmer oh and if you got this modle I recommend you get a ECHO speed feed head I love it it makes my life so much easier I do 5 lawns a week so reloading quickly is so much easier and faster!
Excellent
Thank you. I bought one used and no manual to instruct on starting it.
My Stihl edger always starts like a champ, but I've always had trouble with my FS 45 string trimmer. Replaced the carb and spark plug, but it didn't help.
Thanks yall
I had a husqvarna that started every time this fs46 has to fight me every darn time.
Got a FS-230R
Fights me to start too
GOOD
the ones we use here we call it by 130 or 131 idk but they are heavy duty than those, right
Need to incorporate a starter button 6 volt baytery would do the trick light weight too .pain in the shoulder pull pull pull pull pain in the ass
Queen what about you had running most the day and took a 30 min break. Do you start with choke on warm start?
With mine the answer was that there was no way. I bought a commercial grade one, and it worked for a summer around the home, then never started again. Complete opposite of my chainsaws. Never give me a moments trouble, and they get used heavily infrequently, while the trimmer gets used lightly ever week, while it worked. When I took the trimmer for repairs the local guy laughed at me. The dealer charged me 150 for something major sounding and it worked once or twice after than.
I have an fs45 shit fights so hard to not start i choose not to weed wack most of the time
Do you use premium grade fuel ? And then add 2 stroke oil to it
To stop the engine i simply turn the on/off switch to the stop (0) position
Can someone produce a film showing how to start an OLD FS 38 strimmer!! The starting problems are most common with non-new strimmers.

I have the FS 55 R. It has been hard to start so I cleaned the exhaust screen and it ran great one time and now I can not get it started.
I bought a Stihl because everyone swears by them and all the landscape companies use them.
I have a good strong blue spark at my plug.
I have 145 psi of compression in the cylinder.
The on/off switch is working perfectly
The fuel is good and new and works in my Stihl Leaf Blower
I took the carb apart after it quit starting and cleaned the screen and everything appears to be working well. It was not very dirty at all.
I shot carb cleaner into the carb to fire and got nothing.
The primer bulb fills with fuel like it should and I press it Zero to 5 times and it will not fire at all.
I tried by setting the hold trigger and by not setting the trigger hold.
Without taking the housing off I held the flywheel in place and pulled the starter cord to see if the flywheel key broke and the timing was off, but it is very tight.
The fuel lines and fuel filter appear to be in good clean working condition and fuel flowing to the primer bulb.
As you can tell this is not my first rodeo. I rebuilt a new Honda engine on a friends snowblower after he grenaded the motor and got it perfect and it still is after 4 years now. I know what I am doing and if I need help there are a million videos on CZcams for everything under the sun.
So what the hell am I doing wrong?
We're sorry to hear about this issue, Ray. You can reach STIHL Customer Service by email here: bit.ly/STIHLsupport
A child can start these things I have had my stihl for almost 15 years and it has never failed to start this is what I do
Flip the power switch to on
Pull the rip cord
Prime it 5 times
Go to full choke
Pull the rip cord
Prime it 10 times
Go to half choke
Pull the rip cord till it starts
What if it's brand new and the engine never starts. Very frustrating, though I was taking a step up from Craftsman.
Every model of every product in the world can get messed up between manufacturing and making it to your hands
I have never felt so inept
So far I have failed three times....
Anything stihl in my opinion doesn’t start
I always forget the on button lol
M.ouolp..ok
P

So complicated ugh. I feel defeated, have one and cant get it to start

😂😅wish you were starting mine 😢
I can't get my new Stihl Weedeater to fill gas into the Primer Bulb. So, i can even crank it up.
Any Gas in the tank ??

I got a used one of these for free from a friend about 2 months ago. I should give him $100 to take it back. What a piece of trash. I always heard these were a good brand, but I never trusted them. I've never had a problem like this with any of the echo equipment that I've purchased and used for over a decade. I hate to be stuck up in a tree with one of these chainsaws and have it quit on me like this weed wacker does every time. Three times I've tried to use it and three times it's been a headache. Free to the next guy!
I read the instruction manual, did a step-by-step attempt and got nothing; found this tutorial and followed it precisely -- IT WON'T START - brand new!! This is just plain stupid!!
