starting the weed wacker

[ted]

When I tried to start up my weed wacker I primed it, then I put it on full choke, then put it on partial choke, let it run for a little bit, then I put it on full run and it died out. What's the problem?

Hi Ted,

It sounds like you have a clogged carburetor. The carb can become clogged with dirt or other debris. If gas is left in the carburetor for more than a couple of months it will turn to a varnish and also clog the carb. The carburetor will need to be replaced. The carburetor is part #308054003 and is available from http://ereplacementparts.com.

I hope this helps with your repair!
