I'm sorry, but I can't provide a visual diagram as I can't display images or diagrams. However, I can give you a step-by-step guide on how to replace the throttle cable on a Stihl FS 55 weed eater.
Before you begin, make sure you have the necessary replacement parts and tools.
Materials and Tools:
- Replacement throttle cable
- Screwdriver
- Pliers
- Allen wrench
- Socket set
Procedure:
- Safety First:
- Ensure the weed eater is turned off, and the spark plug is disconnected to prevent accidental starts.
- Remove the Air Filter Cover:
- Locate the air filter cover on the weed eater's engine and remove it. Typically, this involves loosening screws or clips.
- Access the Throttle Cable:
- With the air filter cover removed, you should be able to see the carburetor and the throttle cable attached to it.
- Disconnect the Throttle Cable:
- Carefully disconnect the throttle cable from the carburetor. This might involve loosening a screw or bolt holding it in place. Note how it is routed and attached.
- Remove the Handle Housing:
- Locate the throttle trigger on the handle housing and remove it. This may involve unscrewing parts of the housing or loosening screws to access the cable.
- Replace the Throttle Cable:
- Feed the new throttle cable through the handle housing and reattach it to the throttle trigger. Make sure it's properly connected.
- Reconnect at the Carburetor:
- Reattach the other end of the throttle cable to the carburetor in the same manner it was originally connected.
- Adjust the Cable Tension:
- Adjust the cable tension to ensure it operates smoothly. There should be some slack when the trigger is released but no excessive play.
- Reassemble the Weed Eater:
- Reattach the air filter cover, making sure it's secure.
- Connect the Spark Plug:
- Reconnect the spark plug and ensure it's properly seated.
- Test the Throttle:
- With all the components reassembled, test the throttle to ensure it's working correctly.
- Start the Weed Eater:
- Reconnect the spark plug and start the weed eater. Verify that the throttle is responsive and functions as expected.
This is a general guideline for replacing the throttle cable on a Stihl FS 55 weed eater. Keep in mind that specific models may have variations in their design and components, so refer to the user manual or consult with a professional if you encounter any difficulties during the replacement process.
