  • Whats the deal with an engine (26ss) that, once started, craps out with a second or two? How should I fix it? I mixed the gas 50:1....its like 1 yr old and already broke.

  • @jwal81435

    you have to adjust the low/high speed adjustment screws on the carb so it runs a bit richer. These homelites are set WAY too lean from the factory...that's why it craps out all the time.

  • Why would u make this video nobody wants to see you start your trimmer

  • @fishingman636

    Well, I wanted to and judging by how many views this got in 2 years, I'll keep doing it. I guess you're the one of many people who love cold starts from your recent comments.

    Why did it make it?. Simple Its my channel and I decide what videos I want to make. I didn't ask you to watch it. You did it yourself. Also I'm a youtube partner that makes income from the videos. People love cold starting trimmers.

  • i think everybody should just say fuck it, and go pick up a stihl fs110 or km110, had one fo these lasted 3 hours, got the stihl, changed my life

  • @hondarider272

  • @fishingman636 suck on that... LOSER

  • can you revew this trmmer

  • The old style tank on these wackers was about twice as big. Homelite sales brochure claimed they had had a 50 minute endurance. These new ones have what appear to be half as big a tank & from my experience with mine, 20 to 30 minutes running time at best before it's time to fill 'er up again. And again. And again.

  • @kolbpilot

    the gas tank isn't all that small. I can go through 7 average sized lawns before it completely empties

  • My first 1994 Homelite curved shaft 26cc weed wacker lasted 11 years. Only my frustration with the recoil spring (trying to put it back together) after the pull cord broke made me buy a second one which was replaced again, same thing. I have an '11 now, with a low emission, Chinese, 26cc engine. So far, it has ran fine (to be expected), but I've read that the newer engines have skimped on the bottom end, with a bushing instead of bearing. Also, I find the newer smaller gas tanks to be too small.
