I just ordered a service kit for my Stihl strimmer from Amazon
Carburettor
Spark plug
Air filter
Fuell filters x 2
Fuel pipes
Primer bubble x2

Yes it’s all Chinese but amazing value nevertheless

Fingers crossed it all fits properly when you try to install it. I bought a Chinese replacement carb and it was a perfect copy and fit well but some of the threads were wrong and I had a lot of adapting to do to make it fit.

Never a problem Rabbit, I've fitted two of these kits on different machines. I cannot see how they can manufacture them for the price.

I can't see the problem in buying Chinese copies, they are so cheap, if they go wrong or don't last, you haven't lost a lot of money but sometimes the time it takes to arrive means you garden overgrows, I buy both as a back up.
