    Stihl or Echo!?!?!

    Buying a new straight shaft weed eater today. Have a bent shaft Stihl unit now that’s not that old (4yrs) that is giving me hell. Have replaced the carb, fuel hoses, fuel filter, spark plug, and whatever else can be replace. It will run for about 10 minutes and boggs down, will start right back up and both down ever few minutes. It’s a good unit but I’m tired of forking with it. It only has issues bc I didn’t use it for two whole years bc my rental had yard services

    So Stihl or Echo.

      Walmart electric. Hundred bucks. @

      Quit fooling with 2 cycles and get on the lithium ion.

      Seriously, I have one. It's impressive.

        What the ever loving fork!?!? Gregory I can no longer be your friend. I cannot use and battery operated trimmer. I did borrow my neighbors a few days ago and it hit me to thinking how easy that was to just pull the trigger and go.

                        Hey, your call. I'm just saying the amount of money you threw down on the initial trimmer replacing parts, could have bought you a battery powered one that will "start and run everytime". It takes about me mowing my lawns about 4 times before the trimmer battery dies.

                        Don't hate the game son!

                        You going to be jealous of my battery powered ebike too come time for Laguna!!! I got one, just like Bubbas. 25mph crusing! I'll bring my e-trimmer for making shooting lanes, but not for you.....seeing you won't be my friend anymore![emoji28][emoji28][emoji28][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

                          Stihl …. sounds like a fuel problem not an equipment issue,,, likely there would have been the same result with the echo

                            echo weed eaters all day long. There quick ratcheting head is the best on the market to for re-stringing.
