Stihl FS410C Engine struggling when I squeeze the throttle.

Hi All,

I may be a little off topic here as I would like to ask a question about a Stihl FS410C strimmer I have an engine problem with, I saw some of you guys are pretty knowledgeable about Stihl products and engines so I thought I would try...

 

I have a Stihl FS410C strimmer that seems to start fine and ticks over very nicely but as soon as I squeeze the trigger to add power the engine seems to struggle and almost get choked to a point it sounds like it is going to die.

 

I'm not very good with engines but the fact that it ticks over well leads me to think it is a minor problem but wondered if anyone had any advice. I have a video on youtube of the issue if anyone is able to advise please: https://youtu.be/gWUIy_5_64E

 

Many Thanks for reading and any advice would be really appreciated and if you are local to London Oval can stand you a few pints or lunch if you can fix it.

Cheers

Alex

Hi,

 

All I can add is check the exhaust nuts are tight as my FS85 ran a bit similar to how you describe with a loose exhaust.

 

The previous posts cover everything I would check.
