Check the fuek lines for hole and leaks, check the fuel filter and clean if necessary. remove the carbuerator and inspect the gasket; it should be soft and flexible, if it seems hard or brittle replace it. clean the carb with carb cleaner sray (available at any local auto parts store) and compressed air. make sure you get inside the small fuel rail holes. if that doesn't work have the carb repaired at a service center or replaced.

If your using Ethanol Fuel... This goes for All yard equip. Weed wackers,blowers,chain, etc. Change fuel lines to ethanol safe. change fuel filter, push bulbs, (ethanol fuel destroys these making them soft / shrink and close up). Mowers, remove carb. bowl under carb. 1 bolt spray carb cleaner around, under and in bowl (may have to r&r needle if sticking) clean / replace air filters and possibly spark plug....All maintenance items.(Change Oil) If this doesn't do it.... there's more, this is the simplest start........

I have the featherlite weed wacker the prime button won't come up when i push it down' won't start

For the bulb to come back up it needs to easily pull fuel from the carb, if the filter in the tank is blocked, or there is dirt in the carb the bulb will not come back up, replace the filter in the tank, if no better you need to clean the internall filter in the carb.

Craftsman weed wacker will start and run

Are you sure you have the right fuel mixture? Many of these require 2 Cycle oil to be added to the gas. If fuel is right, you may have a vacuum leak at the carb (or crack in base where it mounts to the engine). My weedwacker needed to be run on half choke for about 10 min before it got hot enough to run with choke off.

Redmax weed wacker wont stay running

Have these unit been stored with fuel in them or sitting around for a long period of time? If so the carbs may need to be overhauled. Also check for a clogged fuel filter and vacuum test the fuel lines for cracks.
