Thank you for your video. I bought one also and realized the first couple of weeks I used it that I had made a bad purchase trying to save a few dollars. It's the worse weed eater I've ever owned. I've been baby sitting it ever since. Thanks for showing how to clean the carburetor. It helped me a lot!

[@beachtroll8344]

I totally agree. Trying to save a few dollars usually winds up costing me more. Thanks for your comment & I hope you got it running!

For the last 18 months I've not let the lawn crew edge or use a weed eater in my back yard. kzbin.infoUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG I didn't like the fact that they just kept cutting the edge of the lawn further and further from the rock lining the flower beds and leaving bare ground. And the grass was trimmed or scalped several feet around trees, etc. It was a constant battle with them so I told them to just mow and no trimming. I have Zoysia grass so it grows pretty slow. Obviously after a while it could use some trimming. I'm in my 80's so I can't do much of it myself.Finally I decided that if I could find a lightweight battery powered trimmer I might be able to do some light trimming. I decided to buy the LST201 20V trimmer. And it works great for my needs. I have back yard with about 150' of flower beds and several trees to be trimmed. I can lightly trim the whole yard with a single charge! The grass I trimmed was only a few inches high but the trimmer was more powerful than I expected.

[@cclawncare5838]

Try priming it only 4-5 times then full choke and pull until you hear it starting to turn over then switch it to no choke and pull it until it starts. I did it on mine and it worked. Good luck man

[@beachtroll8344]

Thanks for the info. Glad you got yours started

[@tonyfremont]

Picked up one today next to a trashcan, looks almost new. Made in 2016, September. Almost no compression, I'll tinker with it in the morning. Glad I still have my homelite st275 from 1993. It's been awesome to me, despite letting it sit sometimes for years, when I had yard guys. Plenty of compression.

[@JarrettJacksongooglymoogly]

I’ve had this same Hyper Tough weed eater for going on 3 years. Still runs great, even after I accidentally put 4 cycle fuel in it last year and ran it for a while before it died. I cleaned it out, got it back up and running and haven’t had an issue. I guess I got a good one. It’s been worth the money for sure. Been running SEF premixed 2 cycle fuel in it since “the incident.”

[@dfields9511]

Good discussion on 2 cycle carburetor I have a Murray m2510 trimmer , on it’s 3rd season. Still works great for me. I only use non-ethanol fuel and synthetic 2 cycle oil. But if I have a problem I will definitely refer to this vid.

@@RedfishInc That sounds like your ignition coil is going bad. It works to start, but after it gets hot, the coil will fail until it cools again. Eventually you will not be able to start the trimmer at all. A new coil this POS trimmer costs around $20 - if you can find one. Good luck!

I guess I just got lucky. I've had this same weed eater for 5 years and it still runs great, using it when it's time to trim for at least 1 hour each week. I am just now having a little problem with it. It starts and idles fine but will not fully go into wide open mode. I think it's just because I'm using fuel that is a couple of years old. I bought a new spark plug, I'm going to change that and put all new fuel mixture in and hopefully that will fix the problem. If not, my next step will be to do this on this video. I will put in an edit to let you know! Thanks for this video! I am a 62 yr old lady, was a machinist for most of my early adulthood years, so not afraid to tackle this. Wish me luck!!

What a pain in the butt! Mine is about 3 years old, but only worked the first summer, so I thought I'd try to fix it. I don't know if I will, but your word of wisdom was not lost on me about taking pictures while taking apart! A few months ago, I took a Hoover stick vac apart to rewire what I knew had an electrical short....seemed easy enough, right? Well a gazillion steps into it, I realized I WAS a gazillion steps in, with no breadcrumbs thrown down to show me the way back! No available schematic online (or anywhere else), and after "messing" with it for days, I threw it away and bought the new assembly for it. It just never seems like it should be so freakin' convoluted. Lesson learned! Thanks for telling your viewers to take those pics and thanks for your video!

Take your time with it. You'd be amazed at what you can repair yourself..We all have that "fear of the unknown", thinking we won't fix it...But it's worth a try...Good luck!

[@Jamestfarrell]

I designed a 5 gallon gas backpack for this MTD trimmer. I found out the hard way that if you shut it down that means that you should have given it away BEFORE you shut it off as they don't start once they're more than one day old. I'm on my second one and it is sitting in the basement right now, running. The weeds should need trimming in a couple of days so hopefully, there will still be some fuel left in the backpack, although it is much lighter with only half a gallon in it.

[@Tony-Waldron]

Just thinking (Don't know if it would help keep the carburettor clean or not). If crap is getting through the fuel/gas pickup filter in the tank, maybe just replacing the filter with a good brand/quality 1 might make a cheap machine a better machine. But only after cleaning the carburettor first of cause.

Thanks for the video! I can't understand something: You repeatedly said you don't recommend this Hyper Tough string trimmer. Yet, you also said earlier on that you purchased 3 of these within the past 4 years. What's up with that??? I also bought 3 of these at Walmart. One I paid $45 for one of them as an open box special. I used it for one season and beat the hell out of it! It was hard to start and I cracked the bumper part of the string feeder (good luck finding this part at Walmart!). These trimmers are made by MTD in Mexico. They make several several other string trimmers as well. This trimmer was on my workbench until this afternoon. I found out that they have a limited 2 year warranty, so I took it to a warranty repair shop to get it working. I told the guy there to only fix it if it was under warranty. I had also purchased 2 more of these string trimmers last December. Walmart was clearing them out for $25 each brand new! I have not opened the boxes yet, but I might use them next season if all does not go well with the warranty on the other one. I agree, these are not well made. You get what you pay for in this case!

On the one I’m working on, one of the screws is way over tightened and the head of the screw is messed up.

I had gone threw 5 of these trimmers in 6 years and I am done replacing a trimmer every single season so I am just getting an echo soon and good video

[@beachtroll8344]

Yep. I pretty much did the same thing and then I bought an Echo....Best thing I ever did...Good luck!

[@elmamado871]

I watch you video men and got the same problem with my 225 echo, did exactly step by step and still not running bro.... What else you recommend besides get brand new one 😁

[@beachtroll8344]

I would try draining any fuel mix that's in the machine and then put in a clean/new fuel/oil mix...also check the air filter, it could be dirty..Good luck!

[@matt82583]

I just bought a Murray leaf blower. I used it once and now I can't get it to start. The receipt got thrown out too. Guess I am stuck with it now.

[@beachtroll8344]

It's unbelievable how companies sell products that are garbage

[@anthonybutto1925]

"It is always good to take a picture of the receipt with a phone, that helps, I know I did with mine. It's always good to know we have digital, we can probably do anything with digital these days." "I forgot to ask, is it a 2 stroke? The reason I ask is because I was told by one who fixes them that with 2 stroke engines they can be temperamental." "I got myself a new powered battery blower Ego and it's great, no mess, no fuss and does not require any service on it for now cause it is bran new."

lol ive had gas boil before and not ignite im pretty used to it now and i know the limits on the amount of heat

[@wallyallyn5473]

Yeah I have a Remington rustler actually I have two of them and I bought them at Bi-Mart and neither one of them can I get started

[@beachtroll8344]

Yep...pure junk

[@elizabethvillalobos8927]

I have a old weed whacker can you tell me anything about this

[@beachtroll8344]

It won’t start?

[@spokesman1012]

Could this be the issue if my weed wacker only runs on full choke but when I out it on half it turns off

[@beachtroll8344]

Could also be a bad mixture of oil/gas...Try draining and put a clean mixture in.. Good luck!

[@spokesman1012]

[@PWallingford]

My diaphragm has part of gasket stuck on it and some left on carburetor. So mad

[@kabluey_louie1718]

Mine started out fine, but had the same issue with it turning itself off when I let off the throttle and now, after the past 3 or 4 days, mine won't even start up

[@beachtroll8344]

I gave up on mine and bought an Echo.....Best thing I did!

[@timothythomas1626]

[@DanWebster]

[@beachtroll8344]

My patience finally wore out and I bought an Echo....😁

[@ravenbonanza1522]

1/4 increase on L (Low) screw on carb or 1/4 increase throttle screw

[@Sarah-zf9lk]

[@bmaluginthevanishingman6034]

Yes and if you're going to chainsaws do not buy Craftsman my I put 30 minutes of work time had to change the spark plug spark plug wire I guess the coil is and it took about 2 weeks. Like the gentleman says you get what you pay for

[@philipvernejules9926]

.......good video , those of us who've tinkered plenty can fill in the blanks when camera is off target. You probably know already . So is that all it was ...? ...the carby simply needed a clean ? There wasn't much to see that required cleaning but perhaps stuff was gummed up and needed solvent .

[@beachtroll8344]

I through this video together at the last minute...Sorry about the poor focus.... It has been running since I cleaned the carb....Thanks

[@Atypicool]

I have a Rayobi that I got last year is already not working at all
