Check the fuel filter, you are not getting fuel so therefore the spark is not getting anything. You can also take some carb cleaner and clean your carb. This is a common carb issue and it needs either a new filter(recommend) and also some carb cleaner shot through the system

SOURCE: weed eater bogs down

Under what conditions does it bog down? When it just idles? Cold or hot? When you give it gas? When you try to cut?

SOURCE: stihl weed eater runs 2min. then stop

Stihl weedeater was running and stopped suddenly. Put in a new fuel filter and cleaner air filter with soap and water. Checked spark plug and it appeared fine. Started the weedeater, ran for a second or so and stopped. Spark plug wasn't gas fouled. Could it be the carburetor needing new diaphram gasket and spring.

The diagram of how to replace the throttle cable on a Stihl 55 weed eater
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:
  1. Safety First:
    • Ensure the weed eater is turned off, and the spark plug is disconnected to prevent accidental starts.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Reconnect at the Carburetor:
    • Reattach the other end of the throttle cable to the carburetor in the same manner it was originally connected.
  8. 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.
  9. Reassemble the Weed Eater:
    • Reattach the air filter cover, making sure it's secure.
  10. Connect the Spark Plug:
    • Reconnect the spark plug and ensure it's properly seated.
  11. Test the Throttle:
    • With all the components reassembled, test the throttle to ensure it's working correctly.
  12. 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.

Fs 85 loses power in the heat
Change all filters--and spark plug. Use a good cleaner in fresh fuel. dump the old first. use premium fuel--it has less ethanol in it

My stihl weed eater fs85 hard to start when hot
Try loosening the gas cap to relieve any pressure, then tightening it back up. Usually you will just need to barely unscrew it and then screw it back even before you pull the rope.

Why won't my McColluch weed eater create a vacuum
Did you check the muffler exhaust or spark arrester, to see if it is clogged from using to rich a oil/gas mixture ? Did you replace the diaphragm in correct position ? Find a new carb online, possibly ebay ?
