Hi, have you ever cleaned the unit out? If you have air pressure available, this is the easiest way to do it. Blow all the old dead grass, weeds ect out from the engine area of the Weed eater. If you don't have or have access to a compressor, take the unit to your local garage/service station and ask to use their air, or ask them to blow it out for you. This alone may cure the problem. However the proper mix is critical for proper performance also. If the mix is too lean the unit will over heat. Clean it out, and be sure of the mix ratio. You should be 'good to go'. Good Luck Vern

Hi, the most likely cause is the transmission over heating. Remove the battery and the cradle underneath the battery. Here you should be able to access the transmission. Clean all grass and debris from the cooling fins and check the cooling fan for damage. Hope this helps. Regards Phil.

I have a 1999 e320 that runs fine when its cool but when it has been driven for about an hour and warm up real good it cuts off and wont start again until it cool off....... Can someone please help me

Sounds like the same problem I had about 2 years ago in my 00 e320 cdi. The car was cutting out after about 10 mins in traffic and would only start again when cooled down. I couldnt tell you what sensor it was but it was only a simple sensor and I would be a 100% that it was the same problem.

TOYO TA-09CHS aircon problem

TOYO mini split air conditioner made in Japan is very very good quality and it can runs for 20 years without any problem. You didn't hire a best ac technician to install your TOYO unit.
