This can occur when the trimmer head is not bumped often enough and it becomes too short for centrifugal force to advance the line. When advancing trimmer line be sure to do so at wide open throttle. Please see your local authorized STIHL servicing Dealer for further assistance.


Hope that is helpful.

Pop open the fuel cap and see if the fuel filter is dangling free in the tank. Sometimes the fuel hose can become knotted up in the tank and cause the filter to stick up out of the fuel when tipped sideways. This could also be a sign of a crankshaft seal leak on the clutch side.
