Weedeater Issues. Thoughts?

[flywise]

Ok? How would a screen in the muffler cause an issue? Plugged and not allowing exhaust to escape I assume.

I just replaced the lines yesterday thinking that might be the issue. I suppose I could have gotten a bad hose or torn one somehow during install.

correct

New carb is en route. I'll remove the muffler in the mean time and attempt to clean it out.

[quarterback]

Just replace the whole carb.

Cordless seedeater solves these problems. Love mine.

switch to goats
just sayin

I have two dairy goats. Now I'm triming goat hooves and still have to maintain the weedeater too.

Alright, the spark arrestor screen looks good but I cleaned it anyway, blew out the muffler, and cleaned the carb as best I could without carb cleaner. It now cranks on full choke runs for 30+ seconds on half choke (big improvement), but dies as soon as I apply any throttle. Hopefully the new carb will be here Monday and we'll see if that fixes it. If that doesn't work I guess it will have to go to the shop.

Thanks for all your help!

I don't know about a seedeater, but my cordless weedeater does really good and I no longer have to buy fuel or wonder if I still have some.

My Stihl chainsaw did the exact same thing to me. Turned out I had a little bitty hole in the fuel line. $3 later, running just like new.

If not that, carb or filter would be my guesses, but I am by no means a mechanic at all.

Or bad gas...

Mine was doing the same thing. Thought it was the coil since it ran until it got hot, Ended up being the carb.

I replaced the carb for $19. Ethanol is the culprit.
