STIHL Chainsaw & Equipment Repair in Simpson, NC
STIHL builds some of the toughest outdoor power equipment on the planet. And we're one of the few shops in eastern North Carolina with a STIHL bronze certification to prove we know how to work on it. At Rude Boy Small Engine Repair, we don't just guess at STIHL repairs — we've been trained on them. Walk-ins welcome. No appointment. No runaround.
Common STIHL Problems We Fix
STIHL equipment is built to last — but even the best gear needs a good wrench from time to time. Here's what comes through our door most often:
- Won't start — flooded, fouled plug, bad ignition module, or fuel system issues
- Carburetor problems — gummed up from old fuel, rough idle, bogging under load
- Chain and bar issues — dull chains, worn bars, improper tension, oiler problems
- Fuel system failures — clogged fuel filters, cracked fuel lines, bad primer bulbs
- Ignition and spark problems — weak spark, bad coil, or no fire at all
- Overheating — clogged air filters, cooling fin blockage, lean fuel mixture
- Clutch and sprocket wear — slipping clutch, worn sprocket, chain engagement issues
- Blower and trimmer problems — loss of power, vibration, line feed issues
- Throttle and trigger issues — sticky, unresponsive, or stuck at full throttle
If your STIHL is acting up, bring it in. We know these machines.

Pricing & Diagnostics
We charge a diagnostic fee equal to half an hour of labor. If you move forward with the repair, that fee goes toward your total — you're not paying for the diagnosis twice. You'll get a written estimate before any work starts, and we won't go over it without your approval.
In a hurry? The $100 rush fee moves your STIHL straight to the front of the line.
