Hipa FS80R Carburetor Kit for STHIL FS85 FS80R FS75 FS76 FS74 HS80

I bought this carburetor kit with a spark plug for my 20-year-old Stihl Pro Series Edger (FC75 motor) on Amazon, and I couldn’t be happier. My edger hadn’t run well in years, and the local Stihl dealer quoted me $175 for the repair. Instead, I spent just $17, rolled up my sleeves, and tackled it myself. I tore down the unit by removing the muffler, carburetor, pull starter, and gas tank. Gave everything a good cleaning—including the spark arrestor screen. The most challenging part was getting the grommet fitting and fuel lines seated properly in the gas tank holes. It was a tight fit (which is a good thing—no fuel leaks at all after reassembly). Once I was done, the edger started on the second pull with no adjustments needed on the new carburetor. It now runs better than it has in years! If you're mechanically inclined and have a bit of time, this kit is a no-brainer. Took me about an hour from start to finish using basic hand tools. Highly recommended!

This is the third one of these I have purchased. No, none went bad, but I have a lot of older Stihl equipment, this carb. fits some pole saws and string trimmers. All three have worked like a charm, you can't beat the price. Everything seems to be good quality.

Previous reviews stated this carb worked, right out of the box, without adjustments. I ordered one & they were right. Trimmer fired right up, after only a few pumps on the primer bulb & required no further adjustment. Perfect fit & very reasonable price. Worth every penny.

I was hesitant at first because of the price but this carb performs as good or better than new. Highly recommend ! Easy to install and ran on the second pull.

Used this on an old Stihl FS80 line trimmer. I've bought many of these cheap chinese carbs in the past for many different applications. It's always a coin flip as to whether or not the carb will be bad out of the box. I'll usually order 2 or 3 because of that but this time I gambled and order just 1. This one worked great for me. The black protector/spring retaining caps on the idle adjustments are a bit long. I needed to cut one of them shorter to fit under the cowling. It works great and beats paying $80-$120 for OEM parts even if you have to buy more than one. Plus it comes with fuel lines, fuel filters and gaskets. Nice universal carb.

Pleasantly surprised at how well this works! They include the carb, gaskets, fuel line, filters, grommets, and spark plug. My Stihl weed-wacker would not start and ran rough no matter what I tried. I bolted on this carb with new lines and it literally fired up on the second pull! Idles very smooth and now has excellent throttle response. Can't believe I didn't do this years ago instead of struggling with my old carb. Highly recommend!

This kit is exactly what I needed to get my early 2000s Stihl FS85 trimmer working like new again. It was easy to install, and the machine started on the third pull and runs perfectly! No more irritation trying to keep it running while trimming.

Worked perfectly, no adjustments needed.
