    Bandit 15xp feed wheel out of alignment

    I have a 2021 Bandit 15xp. We hand feed and feed with a Giant loader. Recently, I noticed the bottom shaft was poking out slightly. Looking in from the infeed you can see the bottom wheel is skewed slightly to the left. I spoke with a mechanic at the shop, and he said it shouldn't be an issue...

    Stihl FS130 Maintenance

    Anyone decarbonized their trimmer? I did mine for the first time and quite a bit of dark came out. The top of the piston was remarkably clean after the second application. I allowed both applications to dwell about 1.5 hrs. Then I adjusted the valves which were loose rather than tight. Just a...
