SOURCE: Stihl weedeater starts but won't run at high speed

This sounds like a timing problem.
It is too far retarded, and needs advancing a couple of thou.
There you go:)

Hi When you cleaned the muffler out did you also clean the carbon out of the port on the cylinder as this can be blocked as well. Also you will have to retune the carby, There should be 2 screws 1 for low speed marked l on the carby body and 1 marked h for high speed to start with they should be set at 1 & 1/2 turns out from closed the low speed you set at an idle and the high speed you set at full throttle. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: how do you replace the primer bulb on a fs44

It is actually a "purge" bulb which means it pulls air and old fuel out of the little carb and pushes fresh fuel from the tank to the carb. I think a replacement just snaps in place in the housing it is in.

SOURCE: How to get the head

There is a hole beside the angle gearbox, stick an awl or small screwdriver into it & turn the head until it 'locks'. Then rotate the head clockwise until it comes off.
