STIHL FS 72 Trimmer - Series 4133

Power increase

The trimmer FS 72 will be available in the near
future 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.

&\OLQGHU

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
spline screws of size M5 x 16 while the new
version is secured with spline screws of size
                                                                                             10,5
