Stihl FS80 Trimmers Problem

[blankenshiplawncare]

We have a couple of trimmers that are running for about 30 minutes straight and them shutting off. They will not restart for about 45 minutes after that. Any ideas?

does removing the fuel cap help? the vent could be plugged up.

Yea, I heard today that it might be coil. I just hate to take these back into the shop if its a fix I can do.

It isn't a positive identification of a bad coil but measure the resistance when it is cold and compare to reading when it won't run. I have found that the two I had was practically open when hot and won't start. Shop says that is a bad way but......I don't have any other tools except volt meter.
