Craftsman String Trimmer

Found this on the side of the road in someone's garbage. It needs a carb clean but should work fine after that.

Cool handlebars! But those Poulan engines aren't the greatest. They don't rev very high either, but they're fairly quiet for small two strokes.

@MrMoterKid I actually don't know too much about these engines, I've always thought they were louder than most 2 strokes lol

wow lol i have this same weedeater what did you do to make it run that decent mine has the same problem hard and long starting

[motox458]

@01DodgeRAM1500V8 well, its still not running great, it won't idle without dying out. I need to take the carb off and give it a good clean, it should help with the hard starting and running rough.

Nice I like the handlebars it looks badass!

[motox458]

@ControlledExplosions the handlebars are nice, easier to hold too

For a few minutes there I thought that was my mower , because mine started and stops just like that one. If I hadn't junked mine ?

[MrMoterKid]

@motox458 I had one branded as a Flymo, it ran okay for the first few days I had it. Then after adjusting it to run great all of a sudden it just stopped running right. For a few days it wouldn't do anything, then it started to fire a little bit. So I was like "fuck it" so I just parted it out.
