The new semi-professional FS 120 and 200
Numerous improvements have been incorporated
brushcutters/clearing saws are successors to in the new brushcutters/clearing saws to provide
models STIHL FS 88 and 108. The engine greater operator comfort, user friendliness and
installed in the FS 120 is a new development economy:
with a power output of 1.3kW/1.8bhp (FS 88:
0.9kW/1.2bhp), while that of the FS 200 produces • Optimized antivibration system
1.6kW/2.2bhp (FS 108: 1.1kW/1.5bhp). This • Soft control handles with
significant increase in power over the previous non-slip grip surface
models provides benefits in all mowing and
trimming operations.
• STIHL easy start system
• Electronic engine speed limiter
The new professional FS 350, 400 and 450===============• New comfortable full harness (option)
brushcutters/clearing saws replace models FS
160, 180, 220 and 280. The engine installed in the A new longlife air filter system, together with a
model FS 350 is basically the same as that used in compensator carburetor- a world first in brushcut-
models FS 120 and 200. ters, extendsfilter life and efficiency.
The recommended applications of these models
are the same as those of the models they replace.

Any existing installing tools which do not have these ho- 18
les can be updated using the true-to-scale

template on the last page of this TI bulletin:
Make a copy of the template, cut it out, put it on 16
the underside of the flange and mark the holes.
After drilling the holes, mark them with the 18
18
appropriate numbers on the upper side of the
flange (see illustration). 16
Stamp new notches and the numbers 16 and
17 on the outside edge of the flange.

6.=======Repairs
Note:=ff the unit is started up in the course of repairs or maintenance work, it is essential to strictly
observe all local and national safety regulations and the safety precautions outlined in the owner’s manual.
A service manual is available for servicing and repair procedures.
The service manual does not include the chapters "Servicing the Carburetor", "Troubleshooting" or any
repairs involving standard procedures. Such repairs are described in separate handbooks.
6.1======Setting data
6.1.1=For Zama C1Q-S34A and C1Q-S36B carburetors
This carburetor does not have a high speed adjusting screw (H screw) or a low speed adjusting screw
(L screw).
The carburetor is set at the factory for an optimum fuel-air mixture under all operating conditions.
Restricting the idle mixture flow rate helps keep emissions under control when the engine is idling or running
at part load.

on the deflector.
Adjust length of nylon lineK=Each line must extend as far as line limiting blade

• Check air filter and fit a new one if necessary.
250TI011 KN
• Check spark arresting screen and clean or replace as necessary.
Start and warm up the engine.
Use /' to set idle speed to 2,800 rpm.
If running problems occur, make the following adjustments
Engine accelerates poorly, runs erratically at idle speed, stops during transition from full load to idle
or after long period of idling
Turn the idle speed screw (/') slowly clockwise until the engine runs smoothly -
cutting tool must not rotate.
Cutting tool rotates when engine is idling
Turn LD=counterclockwise until cutting tool stops rotating - then about another one full turn in the same
direction from that position.

6.2======Testing data
6.2.1====Leakage test
6.2.1.1=Engine
- at gauge pressure: 0.5 bar (7.25 psi)
- under vacuum: 0.5 bar (7.25 psi)
6.2.1.2=Carburetor
- Inlet needle testing pressure: 0.8 bar (11.6 psi)
6.3======Tightening torques
Tightening torques are listed in the service manual for models FS 120, 200, 350, 400, 450.
6.4=====Repair times
The specified repair times assume that the work is performed by trained personnel in a properly equipped
service workshop.
The repair times are given in tenths of an hour (0.1 = 6 minutes).
Note:=qhe table for the new brushcutters/clearing saws can be added to the STIHL repair times table booklet.
