    I don’t. The blade boss looks the same so I’m thinking the blades are the same just length is different.

    Stihl strimmer carb question

    When the air filter is removed the air that enters the carb is more. So the mixture in theory is weaker. Should I set up the L screw nearest the engine to accommodate the engine to run with air filter left in place. Never had this issue before.

    Increase petrol mower rpm

    Well i did assume i bent it but it was done it situ. Isnt there a sure way to bring rpm up more so at least the speed of the thing moves along quicker. Does adjusting the self propel new cable help with this ? This grass isnt long & mower crawls along,any grass that is a bit higher i think it...
