Gas may not be making it into the combustion chamber.Hello,
The weedeater is dead. Completely dead. Floods after a few pulls. No idea anymore.
Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help with a 21 cc echo weed eater problem. Problem is, it worked fine yesterday, won't even try to start today. No changes, same mix, same everything. It's getting a spark and getting fuel, just won't turn over. It seems very flooded, to the point gas sprays out the exhaust after a few pulls. I have the plug out for the night, to dry it all out, and will see if it starts tomorrow. Not sure what went wrong. Any ideas? Thanks.
Think the coil is done. Only sparks every 12 - 15 pulls, with the kill disconnected. Am I on to something?
Did you recently reload the line by any chance. I did that one time on a Homelite trimmer and it wouldn't start. Turned out I left the line too long and it wasn't turning over fast enough. Cut a few inches off and it fired right up. Drove me nuts.
Hello,
I've bought a new plug, and I will try it tonight, just to eliminate the plug completely. I did not know they could spark inside the body.
