stfree's review of Stihl FS38 Strimmer

“Less than two year service”

★★☆☆☆

written by stfree on 22/05/2013

I bought the FS38 a bit over a year ago. Usage is only once a week for a few hours. It worked fine for the frist year. Then the string trimmer hub/housing wore out. Replaced that for $30. Three weeks into the new season, the motor refused to run more than 30-40 seconds and developed no power. The Stihl service shop where I bought it says the the carb needs to be replaced at a cost of $124.00. A check valve is said to be bad inside the carb but no service parts are offered for those bits. I'm on my way to buy a cheap replacement for about the cost of the two (would be) service charges. Given the service requirements of the Stihl, I can buy one of the cheap trimmers each year and come our ahead. I will sell the Stihl on Craig's List for junk parts.
