Luv my 2018 FS 38. Zero problems guys. Awesome trimmer!😊

I've had my whacker for 6 years and that Stihl is still going strong the only maintenance I have done is cleaning the exhaust filter a lil carburator cleaner to gas mix every new season and it fires up.

Thank you for your pictorial on respolling the line trimmer for the FS 38 it worked like a charm...👍

Thanks, your explanation is cristal clear. I live in Belgium and I have a FS45 for about 25 years. It runs perfect even though I had to replace the head 2 or 3 times. I now use an aftermarket auto head and it's just great to use this machine. It's superlight and the engine strong enough to do more than you can think of.

FS 38. The hardest starter spring rewind back into the deep recessed housing i have ever done!!. took 3 goes but got it done and its a good GP trimmer with good size engine and durability. Also have the old FS36 and its solid worker. Still have a old FS51 AVE, but it has little compression and suction to just suck fuel anymore and piston to bore to gappy now and pity as liked it.

The FS38 now comes with the newer head. I prefer the manual choke but really it was price that pushed me towards the 38.

Great video, I have an old FS44, actually it’s like new. Barely used by the original owner… I currently run a 111 trimmer and br 600 for my needs. Both units are awesome, every once in a while I pull out the 45 and run the old timer… still looks new btw…

Wish I saw this before I bought the FS38. Dealer I bought it from still can't fix it. Runs great for 15 to 20 minutes and then starts bogging on throttle up. Gets so bad it becomes unusable.

I have the fs38, I like it better than the craftsman or echos I've had. Is the 40 as picky in starting method as the 38 or do all Stihls have to be started the same? I labeleled the on spot on mine so in remember come the next season. Going to try out the Speed feed head next time I use my eeed eater.

Skip the speed feed it will mess up your shaft. The Stihl version works well. The 40 starts easier, fewer steps
