hi all.
ive just been given an old petrol blower to help when I clean up at my customers gardens...
im giving it an overhau, done spark plug and fixed the missing air filter... now I move on to the usual cause of rubbish running, the Spark Arrestor.... and it’s doesn seem to have one!
My Stihl Brushcutter And Hedge Trimmers and ChaI saw all have them...
Does anyone else have slStihl Petrol gear that doesn’t have a Spark arrestor fitted?
thank you all in advance.

There’s not even a space where the arrestor would be... it’s a complete exhaust with no screws to undo or a bolt head as part of the outlet so it can be unscrewed... also the id labels are so scuffed that they are illegible...
ill take it in somewhere and see what they say.
thank you.

I put your model number into google and it came up with the following manual

Refers to the spark arrestor screen in the muffler (page 24)
