I am having mower problems, and now this.
While weedeating the ditch bank this evening, I noticed a strange smell coming from my Stihl FS110R. It is not a gas smell or a 2-stroke oil smell, and it is not smoking. It almost smells like plastic, or a hot wire smell.
Whether it is related, the Stihl Auto head seems like it makes a little noise. And the head does get a little warm to the touch.
Could there be a grease issue in the shaft or in the trimmer head itself? If so, what grease do you put in it and where(just gob it in the end, or what)?
Or is something else going on that I am not thinking of???
Man, I sure would appreciate some input.
Thanks,
Rod
