I have a stihl strimmer fs81 strimmer recenlty serviced with a new fuel filter, carb seals, air filter etc as I was having trouble getting the engine to start on first attempt.
The service made it run smoother but I still have the same trouble starting the engine for the first time as you can't prime to engine on this model.
What I have to do is remove the spark plug and pour a little petol into where the spark plug sits.
Once I have done this it starts straight away and runs excellent.
Is there a better method I can use?
Is it possible to modify the engine to inculde a primmer?
Any help is appreciated.

Many thanks for the reply.
I will try this as don't want to have to keep removing the spark plug.
Could I fit an inline bulb I can get one off ebay from china as below, but it looks like the pipe may be too big a diameter???
