stilhl fs 45 trimmer leaking gas
Original Message   May 25, 2008 1:19 pm
my stihl fs 45 trimmer leaks out gas when i prime it (primer bulb). i can see it and smell it. is this normal? it will start and run for 4 - 5 seconds and stop. can't see very well what's broken or disconnected if anything. will not start and run. could something be plugged? thanks for any help!

If the Main Fuel line is damaged, the motor will not run (long),  if only the prime return line is damaged it will make a mess when primed, but still run...

Must be the main line is leaking cuz it will start but won't run (long). But does leak when primed, too.
