Need help with Stihl FS45 trimmer (weedeater)

I've had great luck with this Stihl unit. I'll never again go cheap on a string trimmer.
I hope you're able to get yours up and running well.
FYI...I looked this up the other day, while trying to recall my oil mix ratio. There are a couple of carb mixture setting directions.

The Stihl FS45 is a two-line trimmer that uses .080 diameter line. The bump head will automatically advanced a certain amount of line whenever you tap it on the ground. You will also like the fact that the head is easy to fill with line. You won’t even need tools to insert new string. You should be aware that the head doesn’t swivel around so you can use the tool as an edger though.
Comfort
The Stihl FS45 is pretty lightweight, as it only weighs 11 pounds. The large handle is easy to hold and is also adjustable for maximum comfortable. One problem with this package is that it doesn’t come with a shoulder harness. So, you’ll need to buy a support strap separately if you want one.
Fuel
This gas trimmer holds 11.2 ounces of fuel. The fuel tank is translucent. This means that you should be able to tell how much fuel is left.
Muffler
The Stihl FS45 is fitted with a spark arrestor muffler. This helps reduce the amount of sparks produced. The muffler will also help reduce noise that the trimmer generates.
If you’re looking for a trimmer for normal use around your home, then the Stihl FS45 should be just right for you. It’s 1.01 hp, 27.2 cc displacement engine should provide all the power you need. The bump head will automatically advance a specific amount of string whenever you tap it on the ground.

The Stihl FS 40 Vs. the FS 45
By Evan Gillespie

The Stihl FS 45 and FS 40 C-E are gasoline-powered string trimmers designed for use by home gardeners. The FS 45 versus the FS 40 C-E is a lightweight but capable trimmer positioned as a step-up from the low end of Stihl's trimmer product line. The FS 40 is a more fully featured trimmer, with power comparable to that of the FS 45 but with the addition of several engine-related enhancements.
Engine Size and Power
Both the FS 45 and FS 40 C-E are equipped with a 27.2-cc two-cycle engine. The FS 45, however, coaxes just a little bit more power from its engine, producing 1.01 horsepower as compared to the FS 40's .94 horsepower. These power ratings put both models in the middle of Stihl's consumer-grade gas-powered trimmer line; at the low end, the FS 38 delivers just .87 horsepower, while the FS 50 and FS 56 models feature a 1.1-horsepower engine.
Size and Weight
Despite its mid-range power the FS 45 is the lightest of Stihl's gas trimmers. At an even 9 pounds, it's almost a full pound lighter than the FS 40, which weighs in at 9.9 pounds. Even the low-end FS 38 weighs 9.3 pounds, and the FS 56 C-E is a relatively bulky 11.5 pounds. The FS 45 also boasts a bigger cutting radius than the FS 40; the FS 45 can cut a path 16.5 inches wide, while the FS 40's trimming width is 15 inches.
Starting System and Efficiency
While the FS 45 is equipped with a basic prime-and-pull recoil starting system, the FS 40 features Stihl's Easy2Start system, which the manufacturer claims reduces the effort required to pull the recoil cord and start the engine, and an advanced throttle lock and stop switch that simplify the engine's starting and stopping procedures. The FS 40's engine also incorporates Stihl's stratified charge technology, which increases fuel efficiency and decreases engine emissions.
Comfort Features
The FS 40 and FS 45 both feature an ergonomic loop handle and handle-mounted controls that put the engine stop switch, throttle trigger and throttle lockout lever within easy reach without requiring the operator to move his or her hand from the handle. The FS 40 is equipped with a shock absorbing, anti-vibration system that reduces the amount of engine vibration that is transmitted to the trimmer's handle during operation.
