It doesn't come with a clutch that sucks I wanted to by that

[WoWkiddymage]

[borderlineartistic]

[WoWkiddymage]

[borderlineartistic]

@WoWkiddymage it went prettty well until the intake manifold cracked lol

[WoWkiddymage]

@borderlineartistic DO YOU KNOW HOW FAST EXACTLY?

nice toy

[OCCNYAC22]

I'm rebuilding one of those, and I don't really care what anyone thinks about it as far as quality goes.

[MrRmh3481]

Never rev a cold engine. The reason is because the metal of the piston expands at a faster rate than the metal of the cylinder. This is a quick way to score the piston or cold seize the engine altogether. Allow the engine to sit and idle for at least a minute or two before going full throttle.

Oh that's why, thanks for the info.

[MrMoterKid]

needs tuning, doesnt run bad tho :)

[briggsandclones]

It's stock tunign :)

[ryan098098]

Do you think 20cc would be too little power for a motorized bicycle?

[briggsandclones]

I'll find out soon enough :D

[ryan098098]

Thanks. When to my local walmart today and these 20cc weedeaters were like 60 dollars. Nice price on these weedeaters. Had some nice bikes as well. Hmmm........... :D

[motorhead45102]

well i have a ryobi 30cc and i bought my bran new for $99.99 dollars, it accually was a very good buy because its been about guessing 4-5 years since i bought it and it still run strong and starts easy and revs pretty good

[briggsandclones]

These things rarely wear down quickly... they actually have a bitta quality in them.

[sayre315]

it runs better on half choke than no choke because its running ummm whats that word

umm its running where there not enough gas in the fuel air mixture

[briggsandclones]

Lean. The EPA makes these run leaner and leaner every year. My Homelite only runs right and continuously between Half and Full choke!

[RCFLYER83]

Very true mowers dont even have mixture screws any more. Does the weedeater have one? Turn it out a bit if so.

[briggsandclones]

Think it does. Not sure whether it has a low or high speed screw.

[gasman7777]

that thing starts a hell of a lot better than your homelite! (no offense)

[briggsandclones]

No offense taken! WalMart is good at one thing! Selling trimmers :P

[leem1994]

Nice!

[briggsandclones]

Thanks!
