My husband had his own lawn care business for 15 yrs. He told me his legs were killing him when he used his Standard. I cut up a 2 inch rubber mat for him to stand on. It really helped his feet and legs. Not sure if you have that issue, but if you do may what to try it. Love watching you.
Watch y’all’s videos all the time.. I don’t comment a lot because I watch it on my tv and not sure if you can comment on the tv???? But I have a 94r also now for about 3 years and it started giving me the same problem also after about a year so I took it to the dealer and they said it needed a tune up and I said ok do it…. And it started doing the same thing before I finished mowing that day… not wanting to start and when I did get it started with it on choke it didn’t want to stay running…so I bought two 2620T Echo’s and one 2320T Echo and they are a little heavier but they get the job done and they start on the third pull and they don’t cut off 👍👍👍👍
We run a 94. Took awhile to figure out starting. When it has been run and warmed up, choke and pull 2 times, peg throttle at full and pull. Starts right up. Remove spark arrestor ASAP. It will get clogged up. And yes. Make sure to fill that dinky tank often!!!
I've had similar issues with Stihl trimmers and backpack blowers. I switched to Echo Red Armor oil this season and I don't know if it's a fluke or what but the issues have been less this season, so far at least. I was previously using the Stihl HP Ultra oil. My son uses the Echo SRM2620 when he helps me and doesn't have any issues with that so far into it's 3rd season.
I got an FS94 last summer. I've had these issues: 1. Had bad vibrations when I first started using it. Turns out there wasn't enough grease in the head from the factory. Dealer refilled the chamber with grease and the vibrations went away but not completely. 2. Spark arrestor got clogged after 10 hours. Dealer blamed fuel. However, I used Stihl Ultra Synthetic and 94 octane gas in every piece of equipment I use including a Stihl BR800x and Stihl BG86 handheld blower. I've zero issues with any of them using this fuel mixture. The 94r is the only one to exhibit any problems with my fuel mixture. 3. The unit was a little hard to start as we got into colder weather. The dealer did adjust the carburetor. Since then, the trimmer has run very well. I do like its light weight, fuel efficiency, and good power. I will give it another go this spring and then decide whether to keep it or not. Would I buy it again....probably not. The dealer was steering me toward the 91r. Probably should have gone that route but the inability to feather the 91r in low power conditions turned me away from it. Would definitely look at Redmax and Shindaiwa as alternatives as well.
Yeah I still have the 94 but bought a battery Kombi it sucked and I returned it for a 111r and love it. A little heavy but has a lot of power. Thanks for watching!
@@happysfamilywnc The battery trimmers still have a ways to go before being suitable for commercial use. I like the 4 mix trimmers. Just wish you could feather the throttle at low speeds like you can on 2 strokes. The 4 mix trimmers are a little heavy but with Stihl's version of the speed feed head, they are more balanced than with the standard autocut head.
We’ve had issues with both our 94r weedeaters. They are hard to start, doesn’t idle, and have had a host of other issues. I did buy a new carburetor for one of them and it runs great, for right now. Would I buy another one? Nope, I’ll buy the Stihl 111 or another 130. Love your videos and hope to see you at GIE.
Stihl is starting to take steps back. I've ran the new 94R. I have also ran and switched to the new commercial Husqvarna 525LST. The 525LST is the equivalent of the 94R with more power, a bigger 18in cut, and almost same weight. The new Husky's are night and day better than older ones five / ten years ago. If you have a chance try an LST. I see more and more switching in GA / NC.
I got rained out yesterday. Today we did Thursday yards. Mowed 27 yards today. Have to work tomorrow to finish up. Only have 15 yards tomorrow, so kinda a short day. Happy fourth.
The stihl fs 94R is actually my first professional trimmer ever! I started off with a homelite, but it was very crappy. Then I had a stihl FSA 56, which was battery electric, I was young, and I didn't know better, so I destroyed it. Then I had a Echo SRM 225 but I sold it. Then in August I bought stihl FS 94R with my own money.
Hot & humid is awful…I hope you get your rain over night & it cools down nicely for you. Love your channel…makes me HAPPY!! Have a great & safe holiday weekend 💜
I have the newest 94r and I love it! but i have problems with when the gas tank get about halfway empty when you lean it one way its has problems with picking up fuel. It bogs down and sometimes shuts off
Gd morning from central jersey, great topic, 👍I had same problems with the 94r. retires after 2 seasons. I've been using the redmax 250s and the 260ts. works awesome lots of power and quick start only thing is the redmax has a smaller gas tank though
One more thing,when I bought my 91r kombi system,the first week it was taking a while off n on to start but ever since I got no issues at all, if your only doing 4 to 6 yards a day go battery stihls ap300s holds pretty good and good power,I always carry gas for back up.
I’ve always used echo and never had any problems. I bought 2 new ones this spring and within 2 or 3 weeks black looking oil is pouring out the back of both of them. I took it back to where I got it and they tried saying it’s because we aren’t running them at full speed. I didn’t believe it because I’ve never had a problem before. After a few more weeks it wasn’t running right so we dropped it off for them to fix. They called us to pick up and say it wouldn’t be under warranty because it’s gas related. I was about to get mad but the guy said he wasn’t going to charge us because he had 8 other new ones in the shop for the same reason. So he said we all couldn’t be the reason something is going on. So apparently echo had a bad bunch come out this year. I’m thinking of getting something different.
i love my stihl kombi system wich i use 100% most for everyday use and multi purpose uses with all attachments instead buying bunch of power units to look after wich why i all ways use kombi systems alot
@@michaelmactavish1728 a few reasons why I don’t use them alone. For one I have multiple employees so I don’t want to buy several of them for everyone. Second is if it breaks you have nothing to use. I do have the echo one that can change, but I use that for hedgers/ pole saw. They are nice for certain things.
@@byronrobinson8633 yeah i use my kombi for trimming,brush cutting,sweeping,hedge trimming with extentions, trimming & felling trees, blocking fire wood,plus i use my kombi chainsaw attachment as ,demolation tool,and leaf blowing,edging, roto tilling i pretty well put my stihl kombi through 100 of different jobs wich works the best
I’m Also rocking Echo, they are both currently in there 🥉 season and holding strong... I have had zero issues with them and let me tell y’all !! I use the hell out of mine on hem both for Residential jobs and heavy duty clearing jobs. You will get it figured out. I was rocking stihl for a while never hurts to try something new anyways Y’all rock and I hope you get to run into y’all around town soon. Y’all’s friend Charles with BlueBucket LawnCare Asheville NC
94r simple things first. Take a look at the spark plug. Mine ran really rough until I changed the spark plug. Also, check the muffler spark arrestor. Clogged with carbon will cause engine problems. Might need to be removed and burn off the carbon or use wire wheel.
Oh l didn't know it was new sorry I had the same problem with the older ones for trimmers l switched to the 91r and the 111rx they start on the first pull😊
I actually just bought one last week because I was down a trimmer. It’s light like you said but I think that’s due to the small tank and also I can’t get a speed feed head on it! Frustrating
How do you guys not make ruts on the perimeter of the yard when you go around each time? I make ruts mowing the perimeter of the yard each time but don’t know how else to do it.
Your carb needs adjusted. I have 3 of them and they all did it. Adjustment the carb and the issue is fixed on them all. Honestly they are my go to once I resolved the issue due to the light weight
It's definitely lean on the low speed jet. Get a thin wall 4 mm hex driver and adjust the carburetor. Mine was also lean on the high-speed jet too. A properly tuned carburetor makes all the difference in the world.
Hey family! Wonder if you would have a different experience using premixed fuel for your trimmer. It's $20 per gallon at Lowe's/ Home Depot (red can) so it's not cheap but at least you don't have to winterize at the end of the season and it's the highest octane available for small engines...just a thought.
For them that would be a bad idea. The store bought gas both 4cycle and 2 cycle are way to expensive to run regularly in your handhelds when your going through multi gallons per day 5 plus days a week. Now winterizing/ hibernating with it. Putting in a full tank running it than setting it up for the off season if u won’t be running it till spring would would work. As oppose to having to run out your machines tanks and carbs dry. Unless your using your stuff as a home owner its a possibility. If u keep up more than one property I really can’t see using it daily/ weekly.
I m ready for the 4th brunch waffles & ice cream w/ a pile of bacon on the side. Burgers , hot dogs , chips and homemade lemonade. I can let you borrow my little electric blk & decker weed eater Carl , it starts every time as long as it's plugged in. I love you guys.💋 Blessings to you and yours ❤
Are you guys tired of my comments yet? I tend to repeat myself, lucky customers, beautiful garden and rain talk. Glad it rained there, except your place, so far we haven’t suffered from lacking yet.
Sad to hear about your experience. I love my 94R and will probably never buy a different version of a Stihl weed eater. Mine starts and runs great, has tons of power, and the gas lasts about 3 days. Hopefully the longer you keep it the more you like it!
Hey guys I really like your music where do you get that from is there a website or an app or something that I could get music like that or other music too for my videos thank you!!!???
I have the 111rx love it,and yes sometimes I have issue with starting it,like 4 pulls,I do have the kombi system 91r and also kma 135 r battery ,also works great...good luck
I weedeat my home property all the way down to the dirt . Then I come back and edge around everything. Then spray with round up. That way I dont have to weedeat my home all summer. I have time to go fishing.
After initial start with choke in the morning any start after that. I pull twice full throttle once it starts let of throttle idel for a few secs. GO TO TOWN.. Thats the way I've figured my 2 fs94rs to run.. But like I tell my help all the time no 2 two strokes ever start the same from chain saws/trimmers to dirt bikes..
I'm kinda dragging 🤦♂️and I bought the steel and hardware, but haven't had time to build the little rack on the mowing trailer tongue for the 30, so I might do that this morning because I have a church where I miss using the 48, and since the 48 and 30 can'tfit on the trailer together with the 60, it's been one or the other....it rained pretty good last night, so things need time to dry out.... And I was never a Stihl guy. Echo trimmers and the 8010 backpack have been good enough to me. Since the block went bad on my 8010 in just 3 seasons, I might go back to Redmax this fall or next year with whatever biggest blower they have when I'm ready. And if we were in the same area I'd definitely match up with you with my guardless Echo 3020 loaded with 95 black diamond, brother 😂-- flat trimming, edging, wide area, tall weeds, let's go; my girl RIPS 💪🤣 AND she doesn't scalp and can tap in the grass with the high capacity speedfeed head.
Hopefully you got that rack built. I had a echo trimmer way back and it was decent but when I upgraded to my first still it was night and day difference so I used stihl since so to be fair I never tried the new ones. If I’m ever in Jersey we will come you way and trim with you. Hey how much line does the speed feed head hold exactly? Can you let me know? Thanks for watching!
Yeah I’m going to do that. That got to be the problem. I’ve tried many different was to start and still gives me problems when it’s hot. Thanks for watching!
I agree I have 2 FS94R trimmers I have nothing but trouble out of them since day one. They seem to also go through a lot of clutches. Both of mine had to have new clutches after 3 months.
Yeah they are junk. We bought the KMA 135 r battery and that thing is junk too so I took it back and they let me upgrade to the 111r and so far I love it. I had one way back but the shaft kept breaking so I stope using it. This one has a solid shaft I think. Thanks for watching!
I upgraded my 130r after the 4 mix system failed (Cam gear failure) it also had clutch issues before too. That was under warranty though. But I chose the Echo 3020t and I'm glad I did. It's a traditional 2 stroke too and it feels like it has double the power of the 130r. Even though they are about the same on paper. The 3020t has a 2:1 gear ratio for more torque and a 20in cutting area with the guard. I cut alot of thick over grown stuff and I've yet to bog the 3020t down. Plus I think the Echo came with a 6 or 7 year warranty too. I will highly recommend the 3020t to anyone. It's my favorite weedeater so far and definitely the most powerful I've used too. But you can still use it for delicate areas. It has a really good trigger that allows for easy low speed delicate trimming too.
I've ran Shindaiwa trimmers for 30 years. After working on a farm and seeing idiots run straight gas in them and who knows what else, they simply would not die. Seen them dropped, slide out the back of moving pickups on asphalt, you name it. I will never own another trimmer brand than Shindaiwa.
I thought still had a guarantee that if it not what you thought it was they make it good take it back to the dealer and tell them about it That’s why you brought a still not a big box store brand
My opinion the 91 is an overweight pos...luv my 94r it is quirky at times...lol in 3 years your next trimmer will be battery powered...im all ready making the change and loving it
@@bikes7777 so far....milwaukee is holding up...i left a battery in the truck other day at 94 degrees with Windows up...had to put it on the charger for a few minutes and then it took off like normal....started keeping batteries in the cooler and the fridge at night...
Hey I was going to have you come over to trim the big hill in front of our house but I came home the other day and it was done. So when it grows back up in a month we can have at it. Thanks for watching!
I had a echo way back and it did good but this is honestly the fist time I have ever had a hard time starting out of all the Stihl equipment I have bought. I also tried the echo blower a few years back and it would never start and the pull string and you needed a special tool to change it. I’ll stick with Stihl and every brand has its issues. Thanks for watching!
My husband had his own lawn care business for 15 yrs. He told me his legs were killing him when he used his Standard. I cut up a 2 inch rubber mat for him to stand on. It really helped his feet and legs. Not sure if you have that issue, but if you do may what to try it. Love watching you.

Don’t use red armor oil in Stihl 4 mix it will mess it up that’s what I found out the hard way. I don’t know why you don’t like echo trimmers.

Big company weedeaters are mass produced. Which means they are made on a assembly line. All the same models have the same prombles

I bought a new stihl trimmer and it’s having. The vent issue problem
The carburetor may be out of tune even though it's new.Take it back and get the 111RX or have the dealer tune the 94s carburetor.

Hey folks. What about putting a inverter on your pickup & using a battery operated trimmer? Maybe get extra batteries. Have a good 4th of July.
Hi Carl, that tall purple flower is called Gladioli.
Do you ever worry about overwatering pots as far as washing too many nutrients from the soil?
Sad to hear about your experience. I love my 94R and will probably never buy a different version of a Stihl weed eater. Mine starts and runs great, has tons of power, and the gas lasts about 3 days. Hopefully the longer you keep it the more you like it!

What does your Stihl dealer have to say?
I herd stihl has had a bunch of bad carburettors I think that might be your problem ,they do have a good reputation as a good strimmer
Yeah my 94 r is a decent trimmer but always gave me issues when it got hot. Thanks for watching!
I have that issues with my husqvarna 128ld I just run my pas 225

Yeah I’m going to do that. That got to be the problem. I’ve tried many different was to start and still gives me problems when it’s hot. Thanks for watching!
Had my 94 for almost two years. Agree fuel tank could be larger. Otherwise I think it's great. Hasn't given me an issue. . .yet
Stihl could also make the fuel tank itself translucent!
I agree I have 2 FS94R trimmers I have nothing but trouble out of them since day one. They seem to also go through a lot of clutches. Both of mine had to have new clutches after 3 months.
Yeah they are junk. We bought the KMA 135 r battery and that thing is junk too so I took it back and they let me upgrade to the 111r and so far I love it. I had one way back but the shaft kept breaking so I stope using it. This one has a solid shaft I think. Thanks for watching!
I upgraded my 130r after the 4 mix system failed (Cam gear failure) it also had clutch issues before too. That was under warranty though. But I chose the Echo 3020t and I'm glad I did. It's a traditional 2 stroke too and it feels like it has double the power of the 130r. Even though they are about the same on paper. The 3020t has a 2:1 gear ratio for more torque and a 20in cutting area with the guard. I cut alot of thick over grown stuff and I've yet to bog the 3020t down. Plus I think the Echo came with a 6 or 7 year warranty too. I will highly recommend the 3020t to anyone. It's my favorite weedeater so far and definitely the most powerful I've used too. But you can still use it for delicate areas. It has a really good trigger that allows for easy low speed delicate trimming too.
Great video bro 👍
I've ran Shindaiwa trimmers for 30 years. After working on a farm and seeing idiots run straight gas in them and who knows what else, they simply would not die. Seen them dropped, slide out the back of moving pickups on asphalt, you name it. I will never own another trimmer brand than Shindaiwa.
Carl, I'm gonna start calling you "The Water Boy" Lol
Get Echo srm 2620 or 2620T the Echo srm 2620T have more power
94r is terrible I bought two this year. It’s vapor locking after warming up.
The choke is a bit weird it I don’t have any issues with mine🤷🏻
Lots of coffee helps you deal with the heat . yes stay away from bees.
I've had fs94r ever since they came out there good trimmers
I thought still had a guarantee that if it not what you thought it was they make it good take it back to the dealer and tell them about it
That’s why you brought a still not a big box store brand
My opinion the 91 is an overweight pos...luv my 94r it is quirky at times...lol in 3 years your next trimmer will be battery powered...im all ready making the change and loving it
We tried Greenworks Commercial 82v battery trimmers and edger last year, but they died in hot weather use. Not suitable for all day use.
@@bikes7777 so far....milwaukee is holding up...i left a battery in the truck other day at 94 degrees with Windows up...had to put it on the charger for a few minutes and then it took off like normal....started keeping batteries in the cooler and the fridge at night...
ok Carl, I'll weed eat with you
Hey I was going to have you come over to trim the big hill in front of our house but I came home the other day and it was done. So when it grows back up in a month we can have at it. Thanks for watching!
A woody wagon, country squire wagon? 1971
Some stihl weedeater s are poorly design from day one.some cant handle long hours of weedeating. I love my older stihl weedeater
Echo trimmer is the best
I believe Spencer is sponsored by Stilh
What’s wrong with your STIHL 94r trimmer you said worst trimmer you ever bought get STIHL FS 111r could be better trimmer for you
Husqvarna 525LST....
Went with the 111r and it is so much better. Thanks for watching!
100:1 Amsoil
Buy fs 450
Junk it and buy a echo! Stihl suck, heavy, hard starting, don't idle.
I had a echo way back and it did good but this is honestly the fist time I have ever had a hard time starting out of all the Stihl equipment I have bought. I also tried the echo blower a few years back and it would never start and the pull string and you needed a special tool to change it. I’ll stick with Stihl and every brand has its issues. Thanks for watching!
