Thanks for this video! I had ryobi which had a lot vibration, took it apart and turned the bearing or the housing which holds the clutch drum had a lot of movement, swapped with another good one and good to go!

Cleared it right up Tom but it almost looked as if the shaft had tree dents on it. 🙂👍

Quite right and honestly I don’t begrudge them. If I didn’t have an interest in engines I wouldn’t service it myself. I’d let someone else do it!

Fixing up my Girl friends weedeater and after fixing the driveshaft cable. I seen the head was bolted off center. Its got a slotted hole so it can be moved slightly one way or other. And its all the way to one side. And when using it you can see the head down there looks like its wobbling. The more it wobbles the worse the vibration gets so I'm check that out first then go thru all the other stuff you mentioned.

Yes :) make sure the head is tight and that may just fix your issue!

@@VintageEngineRepairs for sure centering it fixed the issue but after finishing around the house, the weedeater started bogging down on me until it shut off. But it started right back up. The spark plug was super black before I ever started it and now its light gray and was running really hot temperture wise. Let her cool down and started weedeating again and as I was finishing up it started bogging down on me. Haven't check the spark plug again yet but it was running really warm. But it couldn't be too lean because I was using it in about 30 minute intervals before any issues. And it was 90 degrees (32 celisus) out dead middle of summer. The thing sat for about 3 to 5 years maybe the carb is dirty not sure.

Not many people know about that liner. Good one!

I’m not too sure! I highly recommend checking everything else I mentioned as this isn’t a fix for every instance. Best to google search for the ipl and then methodically work through your strimmer and see what you find.

i just bought a new one and does that! Is it possible for new one for doing that kind of vibration?

@VintageEngineRepairs

Жыл бұрын

It is, it’s not ideal, but because they’re a flex shaft rather than solid they do have more vibration than other models!

Got an FS55R same problem, can I get a part #

Sorry Hanson I don’t have the part number. Best to contact your local stihl dealer who will have or a quick google search!

I got this same exact trimmer. Brand spanking new, literally had this issue during my second time running it. I only use it for my own yard which takes maybe 15 minutes to trim everything. Has anyone heard of it knocking and shaking brand new? I swear it seems like even stihls quality is going down or maybe I just got a lemon out of the bunch.

The fs55 is a flexible shaft, therefore you’ll always get some vibration. In my experience some are worse than others. If it’s new, consider going back to the shop, explain the problem and request a lighter head on it. That will solve 98% of that vibration in that quick fix. The auto feed heads are heavy and cause a lot of bound up energy that gets released causing all this vibration!
