I love these things! theyre so quiet for two strokes at idle anyways, the one ive got runs great now with a new carb, plus the one i have has a clutch
I have the same weedwhacker as that, im having the same probs as you, but mine isnt happy with any mixture, might fire but wont run on its own =( any suggestions on what to do?
Mine didn't go. :( It had carb problems but I'm gonna throw it out now anyway since I lost most of the screws holding the front on. So the engine is just held on by one screw.
Yeah, it was the cheapest thing available at the time. The main shaft bearing overheated and failed...which doomed the machine. It has no clutch. We replaced it with a Ryobi that has the "Expand it" system so if we lost another bearing, it could easily be replaced.
Me and my pop just discovered a little 20cc Shindaiwa trimmer we had stored that still fired up and today I hollowed out the exhaust so its pretty much striaght through, it sounds like a dirt bike. I hope to get a vid of it up soon. Anyways, cool motor!
It's more with the lack of running and wrong fuel/oil mixture. Our chainsaws require more oil in the gas then the weed whackers do, so they tend to smoke more.
not wanting to stay running after sitting is probably because the diaphram in the carb is a little to dry. happens on most small power equipment that sits for a while.
@MrMotorKid sell it to me i need spares for mine. !!
