so i got a "weedeater" brand weed eater and a weedeater brand lawnmower, i haven't had any issues out of the mower in the last 2 years, but this one string wonder weedeater is really gettin on my nerves.
i got it out this year, and ofc my kids had lost the gas cap for it over the winter, so after i spent 10 bucks for a new cap, put some gas in it, the darn thing has carb issues, i can't get it to stay running without choking it. and anytime i hit the gas it stalls.
so you can just imagine the irritation of me weedeating the yard, when it's on full choke, it just idles, when i half choke it, it revs up as high as it'll go till it stalls, so i gotta play with the full/half choke like it's the gas feed trigger the whole time occasionally stalling for no reason. and as soon as i put it up to no choke it just kills out.
anyway, i stopped over at a friends house, and he had what appears to be a brand new weedeater weed eater engine sitting on his bench.. he ended up just giving me the whole thing cause he somehow stripped out the pull cord (not the cord the metal rod in the middle?) and it wasn't any good.
so i get home, change over the carbs, and fired it up, it worked GREAT all night.. this week i went out and fired it up, and the damn thing is messed up again with the new carb. but this time, it idles at half choke, and the trigger works, but with no choke it kills out, and full choke is only good for starting it (kills out if left there)
anybody know whats going on with this thing? i know my gas mix might be a little messed up, i'm using that 3 year old gas that wouldn't burn in my mazda, but i've been using that in the mower too and it doesn't give me any problems other than a little smokage..
