I think the valves in the carb are stuck but sometimes it's better to play with the choke while it's running.

put the choke up and down and it will work

My BG 55 does that too

well in his defense the 70 is pretty powerful for a entry level STIHL commercial version of the 56 . The motor's rated at 1.2hp, so it is stronger, and matches closely to the my FS-90 4-mix engine with 1.3hp, 0.1-0.2hp doesn't make a significant difference. There's more powerful units out there like the 250 at 2.5hp, but you're paying close to $650 for this, plus beyond that its clearing saw territory and aren't exactly trimmers.

After using it since I bought it June of last year...its been a decent and reliable machine...very easy starting,fairly lightweight however the flex shaft on this model has been a let down. As you'll start using it, you'll notice it shake from time to time. Its normal.
If I were to compare it with the similarly priced FS90r...the 90r wins. Good purchase.

Why do you have such a powerful trimmer for a small job?

because I run a lawn business. I need powerful trimmers like this.
