I wish I had seen this sooner! You'll be the FIRST PLACE I go to in the FUTURE on how to FIX THESE THINGS!
Right on Rusty! Thank You...
Steve, just wanted you to know that the small engine shop near my house said it would cost me $150 to fix my Stihl FS55r. I said fuck that and watched every video you had on a weedeater. I got a new carb, a filter, and fuel filter for $15 on amazon and then tuned it with another one of your videos and now it runs like a champ! Thanks for doing what you're doing brother. It took me 3 Coors but your instruction is top notch and I'll try to drop down to 1 beer on the next. Again I can't stress enough how helpful these videos are. Have a good one.
Right on...my friend....
Steve I have a Kawasaki trimmer that suddenly had a throttle lever w no resistance and wouldnt do more than just start and die. I've been watching your channel for a month or so, so I looked for your video that was about almost the same problem I was having. Anyhow, I learned about wide open throttle and what it looks like watching your video. I opened the throttle lever assembly on my trimmer, saw that the throttle cable had become disconnected inside the housing and was able to reattach it. Runs like a dream again. Really appreciate the education!
Right on Aaron...
Just found your videos and saved me a lot of heartache getting some older stihl equipment my neighbor left me running better than ever. This Bud's for you!
Great to hear!
Excellent video, very helpful, I also learned I must put my beer down when making the adjustment, was one of my probs.
Thank You...
Steve thank you so much for your videos. I had to remove and clean my carb and also had to adjust my throttle like you showed here. I really appreciate you taking the time to teach us how to do these things
You're Welcome...
I made the adjustment on my handle last year. I have the bicycle style handle. It seemed to fix it, but I'll check at the carb. Thanks!
You're Welcome...
Thanks a bunch! Saved my butt again!
You're Welcome...
After browsing your wonderfully entertaining and accurate videos in researching my Stihl FS 90 brush cutter's run problem, checking and confirming correctness on my machine, as i go, I watched this one. And guess what? I found my throttle stopped about 3/8" from bottom. I adjusted it using the top adjusting screw to the stop plate and am excited to confirm the problem is corrected. It is way to late to run it right now, my neighbors wouldn't appreciate it. I have been doing this on and off all day.
I have gained a tremendous amount of valuable information about my Stihl FS 90 and have enjoyed your entertaining and knowledgeable presentations. I also have a Honda 2200e generator, (runs perfect) and a Ryoby 1800 backup gen (with issues) and a friends older model Briggs 5000 that I will be working on soon. I am so delighted to have found you on RUclips, subscribed, joined membership and am proud to support your efforts to save us all time and money.
You will be seeing more of me as a regular participant.
Thanks again for being YOU!
Right on Tim! Thank You...

@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon Hi Steve, my confusion has set back on. I posted an up date earlier today after starting and running my FS 90 after adjustment on throttle cable. It tru ran like when I bought it brand new. But this afternoon i fired it back to clean another area and it did the original problem. Tomorrow I will be checking all settings and adjustments again and also adjusting the spot in the hand grip. I have two handed handle grips but i was able to locate the slide adjustment slot. Please inform me if there is something i am over looking.
BTW I am on the Big Island of Hawaii, got a cabin on 3 acres of raw rainforest jungle. I am wondering what the time difference between us is.
New Sub after watching that video, I'm having that exact issue on an FS 90. I took it to the dealer for a complete renovation, new hoses, cables, lube and primer bulb, had to take it back twice since, it runs like new but only with close to full choke and the cable is not engaging all the time. The dealer said he would take care of it free of charge but I have to haul it to him again. Hopefully I can do it myself and call it a day. Thanks for the info and I'll be having an IPA in 3 hours as soon as it's quitting time.
Very helpful, I like the close -ups you give when demonstrating. Helps connect the talk with the visual. Thanks Steve.
You're Welcome...
thanks steve. I should have watched this before swapping the cable. Not sure if I got the "cogged" plastic piece in the handle all the way forward or back when I installed the cable. Worst case scenario I have to take it apart again...but no big deal. Thanks for the adjustment info!
You're Welcome...
Thank you very much, you helped me replace the carburetor, adjust the cable and adjust the valves.
Right On...
This guy is a never ending bag of tricks. Steve, I owe you a beer for everytime one of your vids has helped me. That's a few cartons of beer there!
Thats Awesome Bob! Thank You...
Perfect, my new Stihl line trimmer recommends not running full throttle for the first three tank fullings to allow for break in. I just used the T25 and backed off max power. They should included this in the owners manual. Cheers!
Thanks for your great videos. You've taught me a lot, and saved me a few shillings to boot. I appreciate your help.
You're Welcome...
Steve this is the 3rd video of yours that saved my bacon! Thanks brother you're the best!
Great to hear!
Bitter root brewing- dirt church ipa. You outta give it a try if you haven’t yet !😊
Right on man. I hate using you tube for help because I’m stubborn, but after a good amount of my 1.75 I retreated to you tube and subscribed to your channel, (I just won’t tell anyone I had to)
Being 3:15 am I won’t be able to test it till approximately when my 1.75 is gone.
Thanks man.
Cheers
Thank You...
It worked

You're welcome!
Thanks for an informative video.
You're Welcome...
Thank you Steve.
You're Welcome...
My weed eater is giving me max power and is louder like Rpm is high but watch your video and adjusted it but when I cut grass not getting full power as I was before but running and idling
Your videos are very detailed and to the point.
I appreciate that!
Thanks, Steve! I appreciate the knowledge that you share.
My pleasure!
Steve, I have a Cub Cadet Model BC509 Weed Eater. It will only start when the throttle trigger is pulled and dies immediately when released - no idle.
Great stuff! I love your channel! You’re a great instructor. Keep up the great work, bud!
Thank You...
Thanks mate. I enjoy watching your videos. Learning from them. Just want to say your doing great keep going.
Thank You...
Thanks again for the information. Now you can send me a truck load of 🍺 beer.
Good job. Quick and easy fix I never knew about
Right on
Holy cow you saved me a trip to the mower shop for this one! The cable had come out of the slot its supposed to be in and now its all adjusted back how its meant to be!
Right on
Thank You for showing this, really helps to know how to fix this. Your awesome, keep them coming!
You're Welcome...
Your videos are so helpful. You have an awesome channel! Do you have a video to show what to do when the throttle cable is sticking, in other words if you let go of the trigger the throttle stays open because the cable sticks in that position?
If you take off the plastic top, you may be able to see what is going on. Mine was being held open by little sticks.
Thanks mate jimmy Australia
Steve, get a clean funnel and pour that Budweiser in the funnel with your thumb stopping the flow and gulp that beer in two seconds before it gets warm
Thanks Steve. Strange place to put an adjustment.
You're Welcome...
Something similar works on an FS200 with bike handles. The main difference was that I was drinking a Coke.
Thanks so very much Steve for all that you do for us !! 😃❤️
You're Welcome...
awesome Steve👍 thank you so much for that great video mean Derek out✌
Glad you enjoyed it
Legend. Thanks. Quick, easy fix 👍
You're Welcome...
Nice, thanks.
No problem!
Great! Solving all my problems one by one! Cheers!
Thank You...
Huge help! Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Steve can you please do a video on how to adjust or install the throttle cable on Stihl back pack blower 420 c magnum ? Thank you
Thanks!!!! As usual I can now operate !!!!!! Thanks so much for help
You're Welcome...
I really liked the way you already had the beer in your hand when the video started. My attention was immediately drawn to the beer in your hand and you waving the beer around when you were talking. If I were a new viewer, I would be wondering, "Why is he waving that beer around?" and then when you actually drank it, they would catch onto the joke. You need to spend a few more seconds saying something about the beer such as: "A really cold Budweiser sure goes down smooth on a hot day." Keep up the good work and the video was very helpful.
Did you see the vid I just did with the Gluten free beer? I don't think I will be getting a sponsorship from them anytime soon! LOL....
Yeah! That cracked me up!
I wish you have stihl fs 85, i think i lost the cable's lock mechanism. Because i didn't see any lock that's hold the cable same as what I've saw now that circular lock that hold your cable.
...any alternative ways?
Stihl FS90R trimmer. Head was slowly rotating on idle. Replaced the clutch. The old one wasn't broken but was pretty rusted. Let it warm up, then hit the throttle. Damn thing kept slowly spinning. Throttle cable appears to be working properly. Any ideas for a "fix"? Thanks.
Started my tiller after sitting all winter. Throttle was a little stuck. Put some wd40 and then got it started and ran it and all good. Today tye throttle cable is froze I can open the throttle with a screwdriver. Sprays wd40 all I could in tye cable ends and all that and still stuck. WTH. Got my Flathead ipa also lol. But have me opportunity to clean the air box and filter but still stuck. Is it froze in tye middle of the cable or what I don’t get it. Thanks Steve !
My new Echo SRM 2620 . The throttle trigger is to hard to pull.. thank you....tim
Great video thankyou. 👍
No problem 👍
Mr Steve, my Sthil fs 55 run full fine when I turn it side to side . But when it’s strait up it Boggs down full throttle, but idles good. Can u give me some pointers please. Thanks.
Great tip Steve thanks
You're Welcome...
That's really cool. But that's a expensive weedeater. What about say a Weedeater brand XT 90? Is there any way to adjust these cables? I've watched a lot of your video's. I've rebuilt the carburetor, put new fuel line in, tuned it and it runs awesome except one thing that I can't figure out. The throttle cable is to short. Unless I use a screwdriver and push the throttle all the way back, it revs kinda high. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Can u do a video on changing a frayed throttle cable in fs90
Amazing, thank you!
You're Welcome...
Great videos. Could the throttle cable stretch be the same issue if the engine stops when the trigger is released?
Sweet, great tips and tutorial
Thank You...
Hello Steve, i've got a Stihl FS350 trimmer and i don't have either of these adjustments on my unit. The owners manual even shows the adjustment by the hand throttle but i don't have it. Have you ever come across that problem? Thnx
Do you have a video on carb. Adjusting a Stihl Kombi 90?
Thanks Steve, great information!
You're Welcome...
Stihl has a very good product....... I like those and Husqvarna brand also the Homies... I am partial to Homelite.............
Plus Tard Mon Ami ~!~!
You are everywhere. Anywhere there is common sense. Merci mon Ami
Yep Me and Steve go back a lil ways also...........
Plus Tard .......... Now back to your video Bruce....... LOL
Thanks. Keep making good videos
You're Welcome...
Great videos! Can you please video the process for doing a carb adjustment on a Stihl 4mix?
Thanks
You're Welcome...
So mines revving really high once I start it for some reason it dose not idle any ideas ?
It’s just revving full blast once I start it
How do you adjust the throttle cable on an HS 45 hedger? I can't work out how to open up the handle
The problem I'm having is I had to take the handle off and I reassembled it right, but I had to force the throttle cable back into where it needed to be, but when I start it it goes wide open.
Fixed it, the throttle cable slipped out of place on the carb side
Can you make a video on adjusting the cable on a hedge trimmer.
Can you demonstrate how to fix the slack on a HS45 trimmer
Same adjustment by the carb....
Hey Steve, I have a Stihl one man post hole digger right now. The trigger is very spongey feeling and often stays stuck on the wide open position. Any suggestions?
How do I get the cover off
Hey Steve Ive really appreciated your videos. You clearly explain and show what you are doing . I have a Husqvarna BT 125 leaf blower. Picked it up at a yard sale for $5 engine was seized. Went through now it starts and runs great but the after market carburetor throttle cable is a good 1/4 inch short . Any way to take up the slack ?
Throttle cable adjusting screw . I didn't replace the cable
Hey Steve how do I adjust the low and high screws on the fs90r mine is popping and cracking.
Video coming soon...
Good job
Thumbs up
Thank You...
If the Bore Piston is gone of a 2stroke brush cutter then how can we check carburetor is gone or it is still working. ( Please tell me about this Sir )
I have an fs 91r (newer version of this model) and it has play in the trigger before it starts to open the carb up. I checked to see if there were any adjustments like the 90 in this video but I did not see anything similar to that. Any suggestions on the new model?
Anyone ever heard a slight hiss when pressing throttle about half way you can hear it.for a split.second near the exhaust. It's got about 2 years left on the 4 year warranty and just started hearing it today. Figure I'd ask to see if its something common on a stihl fs straight shaft
found that very useful do you know if there is any way to take up cable slack on the stihl HS45 hedgetrimmer ?
Thanks Steve ... Another great teaching video as usual ! :-) Dennis
You're Welcome...
Damn wish I saw this earlier. I just opened the whole thing like a dummy
Awesome Steve 🍺🍺👍👍
Thank You...
Are Echos built the same way? I have an echo that i use as my back up for in case my Stihl is down, and it takes a while, several times of pumping the throttle trigger for the throttle to get the trimmer to stay running
I have an FS90r that runs great at low rpm but chokes at high rpm. Carb adjustment?
I have an fs46 sthil. I have wide open throttle but when I release the trigger it stays wide open. How do i get the throttle to close?
Nevermind I figured out the problem. The rubber tubing the throttle cable goes in was very dirty. Clean it and now to work very smoothly
Mine is stuck at full throttle. Trigger doesn't seem to work. Then it dies soon as I try to use it
My weed eater head want stop spinning can you help thanks
I don't know where is the crowe.for the valve to open on n harpuvana143cc
Hello I have a small lawn care business and a RUclips channel and I am looking at buying a Stihl 91 R as an investment and I was wondering what the best type of trimmer line to use in it because I really do not know much about trimmer line
Hey Steve i have a throttle handle that looks like this img.banggood.com/images/oaupload/banggood/images/67/C3/3e952897-3c27-4beb-8392-09d40e08c49a.jpg
Do you have any idea what should the cross section of this handle look like, i'm having difficulties figuring out how to position the return spring.
Steve did you have long hair back in the '70s and '80s? I can picture you 30 years ago with a ponytail
Erik D. I don't think he's that old do you? Thinking he was prolly about ten in 70s if I had to guess
My still sounds like its flooded while using it
