Stihl Trimmer Does Not Develop Momentum

The modern market offers a wide range of electric and fuel-powered trimmers from different manufacturers. In the operation of technology can fail. For example, lack of speed. You should not panic about this; as the problem of lack of speed in trimmers are quite common. There are several reasons for this.

The reasons why trimmer does not develop momentum:

There are five main reasons why the Stihl trimmer does not develop momentum:

1. The use of low quality fuel

The trimmer does not gain momentum in the case of low-quality fuel. It may stall or not start at all. To check the quality of the fuel, you need to inspect the candles. These are the main indicators for problems with the combustion chamber.
In the presence of precipitate formed on the candles, the plaque, the old fuel is drained and poured another, high-quality.
You must remember that the trimmer should be fueled with good quality gasoline and those brands of fuel that the manufacturer indicated in the device’s technical passport.
Note! Candles should be thoroughly cleaned of plaque, and only then replaced in the combustion chamber of the fuel.

2. Air or fuel filter contamination

There is a trimmer not gaining momentum, and the reasons may be covered in the pollution of the filter element: air or fuel.
When the air filter is clogged, there is a lack of oxygen in the combustion chamber; therefore, the fuel is not fully developed, which makes it challenging to create the necessary speed and power..
To check whether the cause is really in the air filter, you need to remove it and turn it on. If the trimmer is still not gaining momentum, the reasons are not in it. So you should check the fuel filter element. Here everything is similar. Only gasoline acts as oxygen. If this filter is damaged, there will be a shortage of fuel, which inhibits the development of revolutions.

3. Spark plug problems

 
When the trimmer uses often, you need to monitor the condition of the spark plugs. This part is subject to wear, so they need to be regularly inspected: whether there is a deposit on them.
There are two ways to solve the problem: to remove the old candle from burning or to get a new one.
In the first case, you need to unscrew and shake sandpaper, dry. The distance between the electrodes should be 1 mm. Trimmer collect and plant.
In the absence of a spark between the electrodes, it is worth examining the quality of the connections of all the elements of the circuit. If in this case, everything is fine, then 100% need to change candles.
Replacing them is easy and inexpensive. From the tools, you will need a key file.
Important! With the frequent occurrence of soot on the candles of combustion, it is worth looking for a reason a little deeper.
Candles should be carefully cleaned of plaque.

4. Engine problems

Engine problems are already serious. There are several possible problems:

  • damaged carburetor;
  • problems with the drive.

In the case of a carburetor problem, attention should first be paid to the condition of the cable. It may be weakened, which led to a malfunction. It requires a simple adjustment of the cable.
If this does not help, then you need to check the usage parameters. These operating standards can be found in the technical data sheet of the device. Sometimes it is enough to disassemble the device: wash clean and assemble.
Note! The solution to the problem with the carburetor can be the purchase of a new element or contact the service for professional services.
Trim drive is subjected to full testing only if manipulations with the carburetor did not give the proper result.

5. Failure in the fuel circulation system

The lack of circulation of fuel in the system can also be the reason why the device is not gaining momentum. There are several options why this happens:

  • cracks in the hose, which causes air leaks;
  • pump clogged for fuel;
  • fouled catalyst or silencer.

You can fix the problem yourself. For this you need:

  • remove blockages from the fuel pump;
  • update hoses, pipes for fuel circulation;
  • clean the muffler and the mesh on it;
  • install new catalyst.

Do not worry if such problems occur. It does not mean that the unit is of poor quality. If the Patriot trimmer is not gaining momentum, you can fix it with your own hands without contacting the service.

For whatever reason, the Stihl electric braid does not develop full power.

When using an electric trimmer, there may also be problems with revolutions. Here the reasons are completely different than those of the fuel streamers.
You can fix the problem yourself.
The trimmer does not develop the necessary power, because:

  • mains voltage below the required minimum for the device more than 10%;
  • there was a failure in the smooth start (in the presence of such a system);
  • there was a malfunction of the brush unit;
  • the motor winding was burnt;
  • rotating parts sometimes wedged.

To adjust the voltage, you should first check its power. If it does not meet the standards, it should be increased using a stabilizer.
Repair of the soft start system is carried out only in the service center.
Note! When worn brushes need to replace them. When installing new, it is recommended to clean all surfaces with which they come into contact.
 
To adjust the voltage, you should first check the power.
When the engine windings are burning, you need to change the electric motor.
Seizure of parts of rotation can occur for various reasons. To eliminate them, you should review the entire drive unit.
Note! The last problem may arise in another unit of this company. Stihl shears, and sharpening the disk with scissors will be its solution.

How to make trimmer Stihl?

The main steps to get trimmer Stihl:

  1. Before operating the gas trimmer, you should read the instructions and check the Stihl trimmer for the presence of each spare part.. After you can collect it.
  2. An important step is the preparation of fuel and refuelling. You need to prepare the mixture in a measuring container. It filled with gasoline and oil in the specified ratio. Using a funnel, the mixture is poured into the fuel tank.
  3. When you first start to turn on the ignition, without opening the air damper. Place the device on a flat and smooth surface for stability. Now. you need to pull the cord from 3 to 5 times dramatically. The air damper can be opened in any case: whether the engine has started or not.

For the first run, it may take up to 15 jerks. After starting the engine, turn on the idle speed to warm up. After a while, it stops with the Stop button.
Note! This instruction is universal, as to start a lawnmower Stihl, you need to perform similar actions.
In the case of running an electric trimmer, everything is much simpler: you need to read the instructions and act by it. Instead of fuel, there is electricity. The device operates on the network, so it is essential to ensure sufficient power for the trimmer to gain momentum.
After each operation, both petrol and electric trimmers require careful inspection.
Following the instructions, you can quickly fix any minor damage yourself. But sometimes you can not start the unit with your own hands. In this case, it is better to seek professional help, especially if it relates to a problem with the engine and the development of revolutions in a trimmer or lawn mower.
