- After prolonged use in dry conditions this Stihl battery strimmer just wouldn’t work, luckily it was an easy fix that could apply to any make of battery equipment.
Thanks for supporting the channel.
Love the battery stuff .. 👌 so much less hassle less noise . Simple start and go 👍👍👍🍻
With you on that👌
Thank you man! Just repaired my Stihl FSA 57 from battery stutter with just some canned air and a whiff of WD40. In those models the motor is on the mowing head-side though. It's just a small electromotor and some gears, so any dust or sand make it too hard for the motor.
Sometimes it's just a simple fix and crap on the motor or connections can definitely stop them. Glad you're up and running 👍👍
I followed your advice. It worked! I feel so chuffed with myself.
Thank you.
Glad it helped 👍 cheers and hopefully no more issues
Aha, interesting one. Mt FSA 90 R completely stopped the other month was still under warranty so took it to the dealer and they just put a new motor in it haha. Good Job with the Videos, hopefully when I get a minute I'll start trying to make some too
As long as you got it back working 👍 thanks and I'll look forward to when you start putting some vids out👌
Nice one Nathan we all like a simple fix Thanks again
Cheers 👍 and yes simple fixes are the best and actually but only skill😅
It’s great how a bit of lube makes a difference… As regards suppliers of our beloved tools ⚒️ they seem to shirk any warranty work in favour of blaming the user .. Weather has been great and managed to catch up after the crap start to the season ..
Catching up on work👌 maybe advice on how we might just get going again easily would be an idea, try blasting it would WD40 might help and cause no damage if not rather than drop it in and we'll look at it at some point 😅 A good relationship with dealers is crucial if you can achieve that sometimes
@@LewisgardenservicesLtdIt was actually a brand new Honda Jetwash.. used it literally a few times and I ended up buying a second hand GX390 … they have had it months and have charged me a decent price … once they have taken your money it seems they are not fussed .. obviously with a celeb like yourself they wouldn’t want the bad press … 😮
That's not ideal 😬celeb🤣 it'll work out mate 🤞👍
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd oh yes I love it really ..
I just took my Rma510 mower apart to grease the bearings. Turned out water can go through very easily. I have washed it many times two years of owning it.
Is water meant to go through it? Hope the mower is doing well for you👍 thanks for watching
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd manual says imotor is not waterproof. Not supposed to wash with water but o well.
All my kit has been fine in wet weather so hopefully a good old wash won't affect it👍
I do find the battery equipment interesting slowly moving away from petrol. However I found the trouble shooting informative 👍
I wouldn't be without it, I guess some will have bad experience with it but that strimmer is now 3 years old and has been great. Troubleshooting for me is just anything obvious I can find😬 had to use echo petrol strimmer the day it wasn't working and had forgotten how much 2 stroke they get through 🤔 hope you're not working all weekend....have a good one🍻
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd you definitely had ear defender on that day
@@jonathanbell7752 I did and it wasn't just to hold my ear bud in😅I use them on battery anyway as the strimmer puts some noise out with the nylon head
Just happened to our HLA 66
Only ever had it happen to the strimmer...hope you sort yours🤞
just took my ego motor to be repaird under the 2 yr warenty. I presumed a dry joint, but yeah it has been rather dusty
Hope that works out, 2 years warranty sounds good they must be confident with their products.... I really must check them out👍mine was definitely full of junk🙄
Hi Nathan, "Stihl " wasn't working 😂 still laughing 😂👍
Finally 😎👍
Have you had any overheating issues with all this sun we've had? I really do enjoy my battery equipment.
Not at all, used that strimmer for couple hours on the hottest day the other week with no issues 👍
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd good stuff! I think I mentioned before that I've got quite a bit of Ego kit. No problems aswell 👍🏻
That's what me want, no issues just working kit👍
Would've helped if you actually showed us how to it apart!! I have a FSA 45 and after taking all the screws out,, for some odd reason the orange cover is "Stihl" holding the casing together!!😂😅
ruclips.net/video/LaTvzwKHWJk/видео.htmlsi=jfNI6ZoOzZt8ieC3 this shows the inside👍
I normally find it's dust in the connecting end with the tool
Where the battery cord goes in?
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd yes, I find giving both ends a blow out and a wipe helps
@@eduardosapples1997 gotta keep em clean😅
Give me an engine any day and I'll completely strip it and rebuild it, normally do a chainsaw or strimmer engine at the weekend.
Been doing accounts, not cut a lawn for 8 weeks and everywhere is completely dead here so probably won't be for another 8!
How did you get on with the gluing the magnets on, hold out?
I think if you've the skills to rebuild and enjoy using the petrol machines you definitely have no reason to make the swap to battery, I went to is for selfish reasons as I was falling apart with the weight and vibs off petrol. Glue them? I just pulled the crap ones out and carried on😅
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd I do enjoy rebuilding and running 2 strokes alot, don't always enjoy the emissions tho especially the HL75 hedge trimming. Just rebuilt a couple Stihl 94's so probably put 1 on as far better on emissions especially being a bad asthmatic!🤣
I remember you had loose magnets but forgot you ditched them, figured it wouldn't work properly with out them!
👍👌
The good old hl75, nice and light those👍my skills only go as far as pulling magnets out and hoping for the best😅
👍
👍👌
This looks like it's for commercial purposes. Couldn't relate it to my garden strimmer. Any way to simplify it?
If you've nothing to lose and it's not working carefully take it apart and look for anything obvious. Look/ corroded connections and debris in motor/ switches. Anymore more complicated is out of my league. Good luck and cheers 👍
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd
Tried that. The only place I cannot get into is motor housing as the screw has corroded over time and I can't get it out.
If the motor has burnt out ( it never smelt as though it had though) so it's uneconomical to get it fixed.
Thanks for trying to help.
Will use petrol tools to the day i retire,petrol engines = the proper way to power stuff.
Whatever works for you, no reason to change 👍this would have been my last year on the tools probably if I hadn't made the change
@@LewisgardenservicesLtdthat's what I'm hearing from a lot of guys - the battery kit is giving them more years in the game , especially the older guys. I'm only in my mid 20's but already conscious of vibration, fumes etc from petrol kit so I'm looking into battery stuff more and more and I'll make the move eventually 👍
@@PKGardenService look after yourself now and get the best kit, I wish I had🙄 the cost of trimmer and battery has saved twice that in fuel saving I recon. 👍👍
@@LewisgardenservicesLtd they say it only costs pennies to charge a battery. The initial investment is big there's no denying that , but as you've just said you do claw it back over time and then start to make a saving. Oh yes you seem like you've many years of service given to this trade , it wrecks your body no doubt about that. Can only work smarter from here on.
Mind yourself Nathan , I really enjoy the uploads, looking forward to next one!
