My FS-94s have been fine, but I can't find a mower that lasts three months. Sounds like a pinprick hole in the primer bubble to me.
I was having fuel issues on the ransomes after changing in line fuel filter. Chopped ends of pipes off and put back together and that solved the problem.
The only other obvious one is vavles if it's a 4 mix?
FS94 is 2-mix. One thing Harry, I know it sounds dumb but- are you turning the choke all the way AND pushing it in? My units were hard to start until I realised this. Pushing it in lets the M-tronic engine management do it's stuff. I let them idle like this for five seconds then they're good as gold.
Hi Harry. I have the same unit and also found it took a lot of priming to start. How is it with the revs speeded up? Would this help with the cutting out and slow starting? Have to say it worked for me although I'm sure it was the first thing you tried!
You're best bet is to just replace the carb which is almost certainly the problem. If you go on Ebay, you can pick one up in the UK for about £35.................. if you're not in a hurry, you can get one from China for half that price and it's probably the same item. If you want a genuine Stihl carb, you're probably looking at about £100. I've used the Chinese carbs and they've worked fine............... they've also got the advantage that there's more adjustment on the mixture screws so they can be adjusted if the machine isn't running quite right. I'm surprised the dealer hasn't replaced the carb whilst it was under warranty.
Haven't used supermarket fuel for years in anything!
