If the engine sputters but won't quite turn over, there's a good chance that the air filter or spark arrestor are clogged. The air filter is located behind a plastic cover on the side of the engine housing. Pull off the cover and pry the filter out with a screwdriver to clean or replace it. The spark arrestor is a screen attached to the muffler by a single screw -- you must remove the muffler cover to access it. Replacement screens are inexpensive, but if you prefer to clean the one you have, immerse it overnight in a strong solvent, such as lacquer thinner or acetone.

Most Stihl trimmers run on an oil/gas mixture, and failure to add oil to the gas in the ratio specified on the instruction manual can cause the engine to seize. Fuel can also clog the carburetor if you allow the trimmer to stand for an extended period with a full gas tank. Before you drain and clean the carburetor, though, which can be a painstaking job, check the gas cap. If the cap isn't properly tightened, the fuel delivery system won't work properly. Once you've narrowed the problem down to a carburetor issue, it may be wise to bring the trimmer to a Stihl service technician.
