My stihl whipper snipper loses power and cuts out when i try to rev and apply throttle.

My stihl whipper snipper starts ok but loses power when i try to give it more throttle. Primer bulb is cracked but i dont think thats the issue. Fuel is a bit old but ratio is fine. Left it running for ages at low power but that did not help either.

With 2 strokes I always start with 'AIR' 'FUEL' 'SPARK' from the sounds of it the choke might be stuck on (choking the motor ha ha) also check the air filter, You have fuel and its moving through but the fuel filter might be slightly clogged. As its starting and going on low your spark unit is ok but you might need a new spark plug.

I have a stihl 2 stroke petrol whipper snipper. It seems to have over heated at the reel end. I have smoke and grease spewing out at that end (metal neck at the reel end) have I fried it?

Sounds like you have a straight shaft trimmer version that have got bad bearing(s) that needs replacing. It probably will take the whole gearbox as a replacement item.

Stihl whipper snipper cuts out under throttle

Check the muffler, spark arrestor (if so equipped. It is a small metal screen that usually screws into the end of the muffler) and exhaust port for carbon build up. You can remove the carbon from the arrestor and muffler by burning it out with a small hand held tourch. If the exhaust isn't blocked then it may be the carb. The least likely would be the coil if the advance part of it has failed but that is pretty rare.

My fs 45 whipper snipper is starting but running

I have a Stihl FS 45 and have had problems with it running for a short time then cutting out. The problem is like to be either- the filter attached to end end of the fuel pick hose that goes down into the fuel tank is blocked or- there is a crackor split in the corrugated section of the fuel pick up hose between the fuel tank and the carburettor. If such a crack or split exists it will cause air to be sucked in with the fuel upsetting the fuel/air ratio. A new hose not adjustment is the only cure
