    Word of wisdom, the governor is always trying to slow the engine RPM down the spring is always trying to speed up the engine and the governor has to over come the tension of the spring and 3350 should be about max RPM, but the internal parts of the governor is designed to slow the engine down to a specific RPM, with an RPM analyzer and watching the governor you can see this RPM as you can see the gov start to slow the engine down that is the max engine speed the governor was designed to kick in at, from 3250 to 3400 RPM, after 3400 RPM engines tend to self destruct, so you can find that magic number, so do have fun, injoy in moderation.

    I have no experience with this but on the Stihl trimmer line package there is a symbol of a spicket and a pail of water, so it would seem that Stihl recommends this. Another You Tube video recommended the water treatment if the line was stored for a while.
