Need a good line trimmer- Stihl vs echo vs ? - Tool Shed Forum - GardenWeb

Hi, thanks for all the advice. I did get ethanol-free gas mixed it with the oil and put the Stabil and a bit of carburetor cleaner in it.

I have been priming it every now and then. I did actually start up a couple of times. The second time I ran the throttle. Lots of black smoke came out before it died.

Plus, more gas is now going into the primer bubble. So I will keep trying this throughout today. Ewalk, thanks for the advice, but it is mostly beyond me. Sorry. Like I said, I'm a rookie at this...and a female to boot, so I got those two things going against me as far as tool repair goes. But I'M LEARNING! Yes! Feel like I know alot more already. Yungman, I'm afraid to mess with that filter, although your instructions are real clear. I'll save that as a last resort.

Oh, and I did by the way, find that tool needed to remove parts. Turns out it was on the end of the spark plug puller I have. The guys at Tates Rents showed me that. I would have never thought.
