Brushcutters STIHL FS 74 and 76 - Series 4133

Power increase

As from the machine numbers specified in the
summary, the brushcutters FS 74 and 76 will be
available with a more powerful engine unit. The

engine power has been increased by approx. 15%
to 0.8 kW (1.1 bhp).

This increase has been achieved by:
●   changing the port timing
●   increasing the compression
●   enlarging the cross-section of the intake port
●   changing the shape of the transfer ports
●   changing the shape of the gasket and

    spacer flange

The new cylinder, gasket and spacer flange
versions are generally used as replacement parts.

Cylinder

The new cylinder differs from the original version
in that the cylinder base flange is approx. 3 mm

thicker and the intake cross-section is larger.

The original cylinder version was secured with
                                                                                              10,5

spline screws of size M5 x 16 while the new

version is secured with spline screws of size
                                                                      9

                                                       7

In order to ensure that they can be replaced, the
new versions of the cylinder and cylinder with
piston will be issued with size M5 x 20 screws for              15                       19
