Stihl FS 80 R

[5155]

This weed eater is coated in poison ivy and who knows what else. It is trying to de-resin now in sprayed dawn and water. Thought I should go over it some, It's only slight blips are, slight bog on acceleration, and kill switch. Plan to inspect. Am I forgetting anything?

Plug
Air filter
Exhaust
Grease head (Should I remove this to clean and inspect?)
Kill switch
Line cutter
Clean and blow

Anything I'm not thinking of?
Should U break down further? (shaft?)

Thanks, I have fuel line here. I didn't think of that.
"Probably" let carb be for now other than clean, I believe this was dealer serviced by original owner.

Richen the low speed screw a tad, see if the bog goes away.

Gottcha. After clean up I will try this. Lunch on me sir, home made ham bean soup. Guaranteed early dismissal from work.

Come to think of it, I am running fuel that is a little oil rich 40 to 1 compared to the 50 to 1 prior. Due to breaking in another rebuild.
