You can say that again.

My guy put a new carb on my weedeater for $51 parts and labor. New weedeater is over $350.

I buy the cheap Weedeater brand weed eaters at WalMart about 78 bucks for the feather weight ( nice and light and easy to use) ran one 7 years, ran another three years when it gave up...I just toss them in the trash when they quit working right and go get another one. I do a lot of weedeating too...Three acre yard to trim up around and I weedeat all the way around a 3/4 acre pond. I do the same with my hedge trimmer....on my second one now in about 12 years lol. To each his own but that's how I do it.

As rducks would say, you just have too much money $$$$G$$$$$$

Take the muffler off and check the spark arrester screen if its clogged can it ,put about 1oz of sea foam in the gas tank let it set for 30min if it wont run can it.

That was the exact cause of my leaf blower not working--those spark arresters are fine mesh screen and they clog easily--after cleaning it and reinstalling it--runs like brand new....

I have checked the usual stuff and I don't have "G"s money to throw it away. Don't think many folks would throw a $400 hedge trimmer out. Im certainly not going to... Feelay send me a PM with your guy's number if you don't mind.

"G" don't have any money....that's why I don't own a $400 hedge trimmer....I run a $90 weedeater brand one from WallMart.....That's why I can throw it away after 7 years of use
