You're an absolute Legend mate, this happened to me today and I had ton of work to do, I have the exact same machine and I did what you said and there was heaps of gunk in there so I bathed mine in petrol and it turned black then I got an air gun and cleaned it some more and wire brushed it a little too, overkilled it lol and it revs it's guts out like any two banger should

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Bloody Ripper, So glad it helped you out. Thanks for your comment.

Nothing like a plugged up exhaust! 🤣 I had that after 3 days of riding to Witheren, QLD. (My Son - Ash's Place). It was amazing how well I performed after unblocking the block! 🤣
A big shout out from half way on my trip! 👍😁

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks Bob, Hope your having a great trip. Stay safe mate.

Thank you, Sthil FS55, after installing a new carburetor and getting same results I happened to stumbled onto your video and sure enough blocked, cleaned. runs like new. Thanks again!

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Hi CP. So glad the video was of help to you. Cheers FPPete.

My Stihl FS 55 RC is very different. Mine must of been an experimental model? It has a stainless steel plate over the muffler outlet and the entire housing front and back have to be removed to service the spark arrestor (evidently).

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Hi Dale, maybe it's a newer model. Regards FPPete.

[@dalehammond1749]

@@FULLPELTAdventures It's an old model and the only FS 55 RC I've ever seen with this system. I was able to solve the blocked spark arrestor problem easily once I studied the complex mechanism. It appears Stihl was trying to reduce engine noise along with providing spark protection. I got this machine from a rather affluent man and I'd almost bet he had something to do with Stihl designs and testing.

Hi Pete, good instructional video, it is good practice to clean this at the end of each season before putting the Line Strimmer away for the winter. sometimes I remember, sometimes I forget.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Great advise Michael. Thanks for that.

[@BikerBits]

Bloody Ripper Pete! Such a simple fix 👍

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks heaps Mark. Simple but effective.

[@maxfly2b953]

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

[@motorcyclequests5358]

Messing with those old yamahas has paid off.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Sure has paid off. A quick fix. Thanks MCQ.

[@GBiv78]

That's absolutely mint! Exactly what was wrong with mine. Although I cringed at the "Quick Fix" banner but I braced for some serious fkn dumb but looked anyway and you came through

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks for your comment, And so glad the video helped you.

[@Mattyfinster08]

Great video Pete! Will be trying this out next trim!

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

No worries mate. Hope it helps. A nice quick fix.

[@mrwill1969]

Thanks heaps David. Cheers.

[@HouseMastersTools]

Good work 🍻

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks for the feedback HMT.

[@MischaU77]

I'll need to do this to mine. Trouble is its near new - surprised its having this problem already.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

If its near new may be a warranty claim. At least it's a quick fix. Hopefully your mixing the oil/fuel ratio correctly.

[@stevencohen4580]

Chickanics Ytube channel is a good one to watch for all the small engine fixes.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks Steven.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks Peter.

[@peterdawson7775]

@@FULLPELTAdventures That's good to know as I have the same model !

[@arnoldparrett2916]

I have the same weed eater and it does not have this spark arrestor in it.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks for that, I would have thought a spark arrester would be standard World Wide. Regards FPPete.

[@ScottMatherson]

Get rid of it

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

LOL. Its "Sthil" running as good as the day I Bought it.
