When I wiggle the freewheel on my fs90r when at TDC the valves still move slightly. When I wiggle the freewheel when not at TDC the valves move much more. I have two fs90r and only one of them has the valves slightly move still when the freewheel is wiggled at TDC. What's up with that? New to the channel great stuff thanks.

Hi Steve. This is the best video that I have seen on KZbin! You do an amazing job of describing the process of setting up the valves with the feeler gauge. I could not find any of those feeler gauges in this town! Thanks for showing us how to use a regular gauge by cutting a sliver off of the end of the gauge. No other individual explained that we could use the .004 inches which is .10mm gauge! I appreciate that you're so thorough! I thank you so very much!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Wow, thanks!

[@unclecaveman13]

I found a fs90r at the scrap yard. I bought a $15 dollar China tune up kit for it, got it running but very poorly. Just adjusted the valves and hot dang she rips now! Thanks for the awesome videos brother!

As they say in South Boston, “wicked pissa”! My Fs-90 was hard starting, not running well and stalling. Replaced the air filter, the fuel filter and adjusted the valves with the Stihl kit, and it’s now like a new machine. Thanks!!!! Much more detailed solution than other videos.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Thanks Steve. Super simple and to the point! I actually bought a couple of Stihl products with these engines and if I had known they had valves would have stuck with anything else 2 stroke.

Picked one of these babies up from a neighborhood garbage pick. No fuel was going into primer bulb. I was prepping the carburetor for a rebuild before taking it off machine. Sprayed with carburetor cleaner to remove all the crud and shot it with compressed air and now it runs awesome. Guess the rebuild will have to wait another day. Going to hit the valve adjustment next as routine maintenance. Thanks Steve for your expertise.

[@geraldboutin1674]

One more happy camper here. My FS131 required Superman to pull the cord to start it. Open it up, tweak the valve clearances to 4 thou and it's back to being almost as easy to pull as when the spark plug was out. Thanks a bunch, Steve.

[@new_england_times553]

Just bough a Stihl FS 131. Before my purchase I did some research and saw that the valves needed to be adjusted time to time. Well after watching your video, I realized how easy it was and feel I made the right choice. Plus your accent reminds me of my mother's side of the family with their Finish accents they had. lol. Love the way you show your views how to do things without making them sound like it's rebuilding a rocket ship. lol

Great info. I'll be tuning my FS 90r valves for the first time this week based on the vid. Side note, I just picked up a FS 90r at a thrift store for $20 (deal of the century) and gave it to a friend. It needed $25 in parts (mostly cosmetic) and works great. Literally started on the third pull when I brought it home. I'm forwarding this video/your channel to him.

You're Welcome...

[@jefffaust89]

Thanks a lot Steve on showing how to check and adjust these 4 mixes properly. Seen a couple other vids on here on doing this, but none have mentions the step about making sure you have it set on the right stroke before you start checking clearance and doing any adjusting. I think those other vids left that part out. Important step to not mention! So make sure guys when your adjusting you do this. If u wonder hey I just adjusted mine and still don’t seem quite. Could be it wasn’t on the right stroke before u started. Anyways thanks again Steve. I now know and feel comfortable enough to do this myself and not take it to dealer and drop it off just to be checked and if needed adjusted when I can do it myself in like 10min or so.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Awesome comment, Thank You...

[@Bobcat1950]

Hey Steve! I got a good one for you. I drank a 16 oz can of beer and cut a 0.10 mm feeler gauge from the empty. I mic’d it and it was perfect. Thanks for the videos.

[@1d1hamby]

Like he said in the video, you can adjust these valves by hand, no feeler gauge necessary. The amount of slop on these valves after running a few hundred hours is very noticeable. Just adjusting the slop out is plenty good enough for routine maintenance.

[@don7406]

I've always been a 2 stroke guy. Got a Stihl 4 stroke kombi for X-mas. Something is telling me I may need this info in the future. Thanks Steve.

Hi Steve: Thanks ever so much for all the great info you are putting out there. Unlike some other people who who try to inform us about the mechanics of how things are suppose to operate, you are always very precise, clear, and to the point with your instructions. Your instructions, we can understand. I have a Stihl trimmer KM 110 R. Piston & cyl are bad. Can I get a KM 131 R piston kit instead of a KM 110R ???

[@johnw2167]

Great info!!!! I'm commercial I have a Km 110 and a Km 111 I bought the 111 cause I was told my stuff wouldn't be ready for a week to 10 days (valve adjustment and new plug) and can't afford to be down that long cost $45.00 + tax for valve job. After watching your video I went to the same dealer to purchase the feeler which was out of stock they don't usually stock it special order so I went to ebay. After adjusting my valves I understand why he does not stock the feller gauge. BTW Ballentine Ale is the perfect beer for the job.

[@mountfields]

Top man. Thanks for your help.. followed your instructions, Our Fs90 now runs perfectly, (our Stihl dealer shop would only do this for me if I booked a "full service" with them, ,,,, which I didn't want).

Hi Steve. I have three of these machines. Two FS 90 R and one FS 110 R. The one 90 I took to a stihl dealer. They said the governor was out. It will start. But will not rev. The other two runs well. About an hour they will die down. Let off the gas and go again for about twenty minutes then it will do it again. The 110 has Black suit on the muffler.

Love the info, great channel. Stihl uses T27 fasteners. T25 will work but not correct.

[@1d1hamby]

The valves loosen faster than you'd think, but they're so tiny it's kind of expected. Machine runs well for a long time without adjustment, because there is an automatic compression release built into the cam gear. Once it gets difficult to start because compression release stops working it's past time to adjust the valves.

[@mtnmotoadv]

can you put a nut on top of the adjustment nuts? or maybe even blue loctite them?

[@billmellater]

It's not that the nut loosens or backs off, it's engine wear your compensating for.
