@MrBriandem07 Weed Eater is not junk if you're a small engine mechanic like me and know what do with an engine to increase it's life. This blower ran really well but the throttle control on it had fallen off so I returned it and got a Stihl BG55 which I have now and have had for a year and put over 80 hours on it. I had an Echo GT225 trimmer infact 2 of them and they were complete crap and ran like a bag of shit. I got a Stihl FS45 trimmer and have had 0 problems with it. Stihl is my choice
i love mine quick tip to make it start on 1 or only 2 pulls always even cold put it on half choke prime 6 times and have the throttle allmost halfway and it will fire right up mine always does i have a video to show for proof helps to maintain them and use a e3 plug these are so good better then some off the 300$ blowers i used and this is only 89$ dollars
@sasserdave I forgot to set the choke on it. E3 plugs are not made very well, Autolite makes a great spark plug. I returned this blower and got a Stihl BG55 blower and it was a much better choice it has a ton more power
@Rarrin9378 ya i really hate e3 but they are very good in these small motors i always recomend them to people when i work on there stuff, and i like stihl but i personely dont think its more powerfull plus its spec's are 140mph winds versus the weedeater at 170 MPH; air displacement of 300 CFM Feather-lite at only 7.5 pounds plus a price difference of $60 dollars
@sasserdave Once you've tried a Stihl handheld blower you can tell it has way more wind speed and CFM than a weed eater brand one plus the compression on them is outstanding and they last forever, I've put about 80 hours of use on mine in one years with no problems and it starts on 1 pull most of the time
i like those, they are pretty cool. but i have been wanting to get a homelite leaf blower that they sell at home depot. but still, thos featherlites get the job done eh? thumbs up.
@wheely132 Thanks! I just returned a Homelite blower I had one before this I replaced it for this one the style of the tube cuts off a lot of the blowing power and the motor runs really quite poorly mine was built badly the gas lines were cut too short so it would only run if the gas tank was full to the rim. I've found this little blower works better and burns a lot less gas.
junk get a echo
