First start in 6 months. Trimmer just had a new carburetor, cleaned chamber, lapped and adjusted valves and a new throttle cable.

  • @stallen5 It is essentially a hybrid of the two. Neither 2 (with inlet and exhaust valves) nor 4-cycle ( a true 4 cycle would have an oil sump and separate chamber for oil, not the case with the 4-mix). Although the website may say that... According to my FS-90r manual, which I bought the trimmer this week (video to prove it) says "It operates on the 4 stroke principle". Doesn't say it's a pure 4-stroke. I would rely more on forums rather than the STIHL website

  • @Jon3800 That is completely incorrect. Just because an engine takes oil:gas mixture does not mean it is a 2-cycle engine. The Stihl "4-mix" engines are definitely 4-cycle engines that use gas/oil mix hence the name "4-mix". The Stihl website says "This revolutionary technology features a patented lubrication design that allows the 4-cycle engine to use standard STIHL 2-cycle (50:1) fuel mix..."

  • Nice trimmer, but you're so rough on the cord. You should never rev it that much after sitting that long, you can blow the motor.

  • @Jon3800

    4 cycle gas engines

  • @urkingod

    2 cycle = 2 stroke which is a engine that requires a gas/oil mixture to run properly. All you do is add the right amount of gas, then you add the oil. Then all you need is mix it.

    4-mix is Stihl's 2-cycle (50:1 mix) engine that has uses valves that are typically used in 4 cycle gas trimmers, so it's a combined 2 and 4 cycle hence 4-mix

  • just got  fs 110 for christmas i love it. It starts first pull every time.

  • what is 2 cycle and 4 mix engine ?? is this FS110 use different oil? Well, actually it says to use 50:1 ratio, how do you mix the gasoline? I am so used to mixing one tiny 2 cycle engine bottle to one gallon of gasoline and that's it....

  • nice machine

  • Just got an FS90 Tuesday. I like how they sound like an old tractor at idle.

  • How are thoes 4 mix to start when they ge old?
