Sthil FS94 not starting

[jzurbano]

Hi,

 

I'm having issues with our FS94 rc grass strimmer. It won't start fully when set in starting position although it seems to be working fine of I have the throttle full on. I guess that means that the issue is not with the spark plug isn't? I'm not an expert and have tried to clean around and check filter and can't think of anything I could do to avoid having to take it for repair. It is quite a new machine (just over 3 months old) and has not been heavily used.

Is there anything simple I'm missing to check?

 

Thanks!

If it's not starting properly even when set to the starting position, it might not be a spark plug issue. Since you've already given it a clean and checked the filter, you're doing all the right moves. One thing you could double-check is the fuel mixture – make sure you got the right ratio of fuel and oil in there. If that's all good, and it's still giving you trouble, it might be worth taking it for a pro repair since it's still a fresh machine.
