You just saved me so much time!!! I was about to break down the carb and clean everything, but after I watched this video I looked at the exhaust…clogged to shit! Thanks a million!
I see so many people feathering the throttle on these machines constantly, they’re ultimately made for full throttle at maximum performance to burn right like you were saying! A lot of people think that causes premature wear when if everything is working correctly it’s how they were made to be used, it’s a stihl !
Yes I would say that’s normal. Also the machine will get more power as it breaks in generally between 15 and 20 hours. But it is normal for a machine to fluctuate between running perfect and a little bit “off” that is critical to it not running too lean and damaging the machine.
question I just bought a bg50 brand new from Ace Hardware and at Full Throttle it will begin to bog down if I loosen the fuel cap it regains RPMs and runs like a charm I don't see a vent in the fuel cap should I just leave it a little loose or should it be venting on its own?
Are you saying your primer doesn’t work? It means you probably have a stuck check ball in the carb. Sometimes seafoam in the fuel will free it up. Sometimes you need a new carb.
Dont use Stihl oil. Use Echo Red Armor and you won't have any carbon problems. Love my Stihl BG50 but Stihl Ultra is no good! It's only rated FB, Echo is FD, top rated.
Amazing! This works! Thanks! I didn't even need to remove the cover, just used needle nosed pliers..
Thanks for the tips, I just a BG-50 and I want to be sure I run it properly.

Exactly!
I believe some people feather it because they use poor quality fuel. Gotta do it to keep it running.
Mine is brand new. Pulled it approximately 30 times before it started. Went precisely by the book. Using 50:1 Truefuel.
Flooded it out?
@@Carlsmower Probably. I'll figure out it's "combination" pretty soon. 😊
Thanks! Had trouble finding a video with my screen style spark arrestor. It’s not the bolt style. Up and running again no problem
Work perfect on my bg-50 it was the screen thank you!
Now run that baby hard and it should stay clean
Where you bogging down because of a plugged fuel filter?
Is it normal for them to bog a little until is ran full throttle for a while. Mine is new it has to be ran for awhile to reach it's maximum potential.

Either try to replace gas tank breather or just return it for warranty, actually stihl has a good warranty
Thanks so much
Nice video, so true!
It want prime the bubble is good

My bg50 is bogging down, right after brand new spark plug and air filter change

Stihl corporation can't afford a decent USB microphone so there could be a decent volumn on this stuff?????
I’m sorry we are continuing to work through improvements to our videos. Thanks for the feedback and hopefully you got the info you needed
You talk too much
