While being an Echo guy myself, The Stihl FS-111RX Is like no other trimmer, It runs smoother more than any other trimmer, it has astonishing technology, it’s just a great machine
The power and performance is awesome
Thanks for the terrific overview, very handy video with some maintenance advice I hadn't considered.
Really well done presentation. I liked the style and confidence in the product. I have the fs111 and confirm it is a great machine. A beast actually. Thanks again.
Mine has one year, runs on only amsoil saber 1.8oz per gallon, regularly adjust the valves and its running like new! Amazing torque, amazing fuel efficiency and very low vibrating. Great for really lost backyards here in Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷
Real mente amigo es bueno el fs111???
This was a well done video presentation. It would have helped if we had a close up of what you were servicing. Keep up the good work!
Carl, can we adjust the valves on our own? Can you do a video about that for FS 111 R? That'd be great. Great video! You got me hooked when I saw your video about comparing 91R, 111R and 131R. I was gonna go with 131R, but read many reviews about being too much for the job. So, I settled on 111R after watching your video. Thank you so much.
5.22 CFM, or 8834 L/hr
4 stroke engine formula which this is because of the valves.
1.9 cu in x 10000rpm/3456 = 5.5 cfm times efficiency of engine (95% given its a naturally aspirated 4 stroke) = 5.22 CFM or 313 Cubic feet per hour
Simple google conversion says 5.22 CFM = 8834 L/Hr of airflow.
I have a Kombi 111R string trimmer attachment along with a blower and a hedge trimmer attachment. Where is the grease point on the gear box for the trimmer? I see it on the hedger but there is nowhere to grease on the trimmer piece.
Does the 111 need to be ran wide open like the 91? Or does it have a better variable throttle than the 91?
So mine makes sort of a bell chime and ringing noise when at idle. What's that about?
Is this fine to use upside-down for edging? Or will it have issues that some other 4 strokes have?
Nice video.I have a FS91R where I changed the head.I pulled that steel plate up and there was a ball bearing underneath. Does it matter where the ball bearing goes.There does not appear to be a set spot.
Just bought one today for a large job. It won't start at all. All fueled up, everything set up at the dealer, I primed the fuel and I've been trying now for 2 hours and it will not start. Will be returning to the dealer tomorrow.
How’s it going with the trimmer? Was that just a fluke? I’m thinking upgrading
Wear a full face shield when weed trimming if you are hitting bare dirt? Safety glasses won’t do the job completely. Eyes are hard to replace and repair
Does STIHL make a 4 cycle that uses non Mix gas? Thanks
Love the video but how do I remove the throttle cable from the carburetor
Not generally something needed in an owners review of the trimmer. Maybe something I can cover in another video. Thanks
Of you have the FS11RX model,can you take the solid driveshaft from the FS91R and the FS111R and use it in the FS11RX?
I’ve had customers do that
The FS91R and the FS111R are exactly the same with the exception of the larger displacement of the engine on the 111R. Why the $70 difference in price?Are other things made more sturdy on the 111R model?
@@michellejohn695 just the power.
@@Carlsmower One last question please.The ONLY difference between the FS111RX and the 111R is the engine and the drive shaft,correct??? Everything else is the same between both machines??
Thanks in advance!
@@michellejohn695 the gearbox, deflector, and loop handles are also different.
I run one on the ranch down fence lines 9 hrs a day and didn't know any of this. They all started acting funny, I wonder why.. 😆
But now I know! It four strokes at wot. Valve lash, filter clean if not replaced, plug replaced, and Grease!
Clean the metal spark arrested with a fine stainless wire brush too to get the carbon off
Great info
Happy to help
Nice video buddy 😌
I'm concerned about the fuel ratio. I'm putting a full two-cycle oil bottle to a gallon of gas but on the internet when I look it up it says that it is 50 : 1 ratio ?????
A bottle of oil mix goes into a can of 1 gallon gas. Mix it really good before you pour it into your trimmer. That's what it means 50:1 ratio.
They should demonstrate the attachments agallen of fuel you use three hundred gallens air in Denver Colorado clean air filter is more omportant
Just to clarify you would like me to run some demonstration of different cutting attachments?
every extra inch of line is 50-100 degree extra? how ? i would love to hear that explanation...
Take the muffler screen off when you buy one The screen gets clogged and it bogs the weed eater down
Interesting we see very few plugged exhaust screens on 4mix engines.
What oil are you running?
@@Carlsmower The Orange can Stihl oil Mix I have the FS111RX it's great!!!!
@@ianspamer8295 it would be best to run the HP Ultra (silver bottle). Less carbon build up on the valves and exhaust
About 7440 liters per hour. Assuming max load and throughput at all times.
Or 1965 gallons.
Can confirm, do not go bareback.
Shorts are doable, but wear some super THICCCCC wool socks up to your knees or you're gonna be hurting.
Can also confirm, those gas cans are THE best, HANDS DOWN. I've NEVER in my LIFE had a gas can that doesn't leak when I'm using it...until I found these beauties.
Whats the regular trimmer head for fs100rx
Autocut 25-2
How to start
why does it sound like it has a rev limiter on it?
Hey can you make a video on a Stihl FS450
How about the FS560
@@Carlsmower both of them
@@eastindianimpression9699 The point is that FS 450 has an engine that AFAIK doesn't comply with current US eco-regulations and, probably, nowadays can't be sold in US. The most closest to it available on US market are FS 311, FS 360, FS 560. The same is for EU market. Other markets like Latin America, Asia (e.g. India), Russia, etc. are more relaxed towards eco-regulations, so FS 450 is still available there.
It never starts for me.

Now that’s some good juice to feed your equipment
mine runs well but weighs a ton so no one wants to use it.
