For this 2 Cycle Tuesday, I have a Stihl FS100RX trimmer that would run but die after 15 minutes of use. It is also Taco Tuesday so lets have some Tacos!

Really enjoyed this one. Makes me glad that I'm changing over to the battery powered. I started out with a Stihl MSA 120 C-B & with modern high-efficiency solar panels. Catch you on the next one!
Not exactly a 2 cycle hence the valve cover on top of the engine but a 4-cycle hybrid. Stihl calls it a 4-mix engine because it’s a 4 stroke that you mix oil in the fuel like a 2 stroke and has no crankcase oil. This is so that you can run it in any position without oil running out or hydro locking. I hope that was premix fuel that you put in it or it will be toast.
Good job. When you did the crankcase vacuum test we’re there any leaks? When those 4 mix engines won’t idle good it usually means there’s a pretty significant vacuum leak. https://youtu.be/Euh17dURQt4
Provecho,,saludos
Maybe you should have checked the exhaust screen for carbon build up while you had it apart.
I had the same problem in ordering from Amazon and eBay , sometimes the gaskets or the gas lines just didn't work out . Having a little back up of stock helps on certain jobs . The last job I had too order either a 5 or 6 pack of different kinda of idle screw drivers to adjust the high and low idle adjustments . That was $15 , not sure I'll use them again – but my labor payed for it especially when he gave me a tip after I presented the bill . Good video , didn't take the Stihl gas tank off – didn't know it more or less slide off – so taught me something – Thanks
I believe that it's getting hot from being dirty plus the fuel filter is not in the bottom of the gas tank
