Stihl KS-61 No Start Issue

I have a Stihl FS61 string trimmer that I found recently for free on the side of the road. I tried to start it when I got home, but it only started when gas was poured in the carb, and it only ran for a couple seconds. I purchased a new carb, but still the exact same problem. I did a compression tes..

MS260 carburetor

I think I need a new carb for my MS260 Pro. Are the aftermarket ones any good? They seem to be cheap enough. Or stick with OEM?..

Stihl 066 carb heat port.

Back in 1991 I bought a new Stihl 066 Magnum chainsaw for the occasional big trees I encounter. The flat top cover had no provision (hole) for a compression release. I now need that feature because it's getting hard for me to pull start it. I purchased a new top cover #1122-080-1607 that will allow ..

Took it out of the cellar last weekend and it sounded almost like it was mis firing. I had it serviced by the same place I bought it from to get ..

Stihl FS111R is sluggish

My trimmer has no power and struggles even under a small load. Also it does not want to rev up even with WOT. After about a minute of basically sitting there and idling at WOT it picks up and runs faster but the minute you apply a load it drops down again. Now here is what i checked so far. Plug is ..
