Bought this trimmer 3 years ago from Lowes. Ran it about three times for less than 5 minutes each time before the pull cord broke. Had it replaced under a warranty/known defect. Used it one more time, ran it dry and put it away for season. Two years ago brought it out, filled it up and it would only idle and immediately die on full throttle. Took it apart and cleaned carb with no difference. Got upset and put it on the shelf till this summer.
After reading up on it, decided on new carb. Put it in, has same issues. Put it away again till today. Seems to be electrical. It runs pretty good if I disconnect the plug wire and just barely slip the boot on it! Have it taped in place at a sweet spot but still this is not right! What's up with this? I've read where a few people said the wire is to close to the coil and is messing with it. Any suggestions for fixes?
