No , it's not the park arrestor , I'll change the fuel filter , thank you

I'm not sure, but it must be 10 -15 years at least . I can't post a pic

I have a Stihl FS80 trimmer that runs great but after running it fit 10-15 minutes it will die and not start again. could i have a bad ignition component, or ? I would also like to find a new piston + rings for it. THANKS !

I prefer the fixed line heads over the tap n go types because they are lighter in weight allowing the trimmer to have more power to drive the head

It isn't nonsense , it makes a huge difference. If you don't want to bother, don't do it

It will work just as well, just keep the spool in a bucket of water

Really , no comments ? If you keep your trimmer line in a can full of water you'll see for yourself what a difference it makes in how long the line lasts. I don't know why it works but When I tried it I was amazed and now i keep all my trimmer line under water when I'm not using it.

Ok , If you take your spool off or the fixed length short sections of trimmer line and keep them submerged in a container of water when you aren't using the trimmer you will be absolutely amazed at how much longer your trimmer line lasts. I mean up to 10 times longer ! I prefer to use a fixed...

Got it covered

I've been so busy working all winter hauling from a deck to the sawmills that I'm posting this late reply. Thanks for all the advice.

My shop has a huge hot water washer but the water source is so crappy you can't use on anything that you don't want to leave a yellow stain on.. Yes the hot water pressure washers are but you can't use one on anything polished , chrome or painted. Beside , it's enough work to keep the shiny side...
