I'll come up there and trim for you, but it'll cost ya some tall boys!
If they are 2 stroke trimmer I would be willing to bet you that the exhaust port is clogged up with carbon. If so its a pretty easy fix.
I know a guy.
The sure fix on these with the gimped up carbs is replace carb or replace with new trimmer. Carb about half price of trimmer.
Yep. Hedge trimmers and weedeaters are really disposible....by the time you pay for the parts and labor you can all most buy a new 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....Quote:

"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
I use one called Efron Hernandes
He doesn't work this area...I think he has a relative Manual LaborQuote:

Oven cleaner does good, follow directions on can. Use a small parts brass brush to clean it. Blow the water out of it before installing it. Trash in the fuel, the lines in the carb are so small a speck of trash will clog them.
