Stihl FS 111 R
4-Mix · Also known as: FS 111
The Stihl FS 111 R is a 36.3cc 4-Mix professional trimmer with updated ergonomics and efficiency improvements relative to the FS 110. Like all 4-Mix models, it runs standard 50:1 premix on a 4-stroke valve train. The FS 111 R variant features a bike-handle configuration preferred by production landscaping crews for extended-shift ergonomics. Valve clearance inspection, gearhead lubrication, and fuel system service are the maintenance tasks in addition to standard spark plug and air filter replacement.

Tune-Up Kit
Common service bundle: spark plug, air filter, fuel filter, carburetor, primer bulb, fuel line kit.
Maintenance Interval
Inspect filters and fuel lines each season, replace spark plugs during annual service, and service carb/fuel-system parts when starting or idle symptoms appear.
Before You Buy
- Confirm the full model is Stihl FS 111 R, not just the family name.
- Check serial number, production date, and regional variant before ordering.
- Match the old OEM number stamped on the removed part when available.
- Compare dimensions, plug gap, thread, fuel line diameter, or chain pitch/gauge where applicable.
Common Mistakes
- Ordering from a family listing without checking the exact sub-model.
- Buying a kit that includes the headline part but wrong gaskets, lines, or bulb size.
- Choosing the wrong carburetor revision when multiple versions were used.
- Assuming all fuel line kits use the same diameter and routing.
- Installing the correct plug number with the wrong gap.

Replacement Options
Best OEM equivalent
Start with OEM references 0000 400 7011, 4180 141 0300, 0000 350 3521, 4180 120 0618 and match the removed part before choosing a listing.
Named part options
Cross-check named parts such as NGK CMR6H (spark plug), Zama C1Q-S174 (carburetor), Zama 0057004 (primer bulb) against the OEM number, identity label, and dimensions.
Best for annual tune-up
Bundle spark plug, air filter, fuel filter when servicing the Stihl FS 111 R at the start of the season.
Best if replacing fuel system
Compare the fuel filter, carburetor, primer bulb, fuel line kit together so line routing, bulb size, filter style, and carburetor connections match.
Best budget kit
Use kit listings only when every included part matches this model page; cheap kits often mix correct headline parts with wrong bulbs, lines, or gaskets.
FAQ
Should I buy OEM or aftermarket parts for the Stihl FS 111 R? Use OEM when the part controls fuel metering, ignition, or safety. Aftermarket kits can be useful for routine filters, bulbs, plugs, and tune-up bundles when the OEM number and dimensions match.
How do I avoid ordering the wrong carburetor for the FS 111 R? Match the carburetor number stamped on the removed unit, then compare linkage, choke setup, primer routing, gasket stack, and fuel-inlet direction.
What should I check before replacing fuel-system parts? Photograph the old fuel-line routing, match line diameter and filter style, and compare primer bulb size before buying a kit.
