How to start a GT-225 trimmer that won't start.

I own one, and had a little trouble deciphering the manual, but it's in there, and the whole removal/line replacement procedure is the easiest of any trimmer I've ever owned. Study the manual. You'll figure it out. . .

An engine requires three things to run.
1. A timed spark
2. Compression
3. Correct fuel/air ratio (delivered)
See which if the three you DO NOT have? ...remedy that and it will run.

How long the line lasts is 100% dependant on what you are cutting down and if you hit hard objects.

Hi Mark,
Take it back for a replacement/refund. It shouldn't be like that when it's so new.

Check the stop switch is working and not earthing out.

Hi abob
Here is a few suggestions

Without knowing more about your trimmer, the most common problem with two cycle engines is the carburator. If carb sits to long with fuel in them, as would be the case when storing for the winter, the fuel can break down gumming up the inner workings of the carb. There are rebuild kits out there, but if this is your problem, I suggest purchasing an new carb. The price of new carb is only a small amount more than trying to rebuilding the old carb.

Yo'll have to take off the cover and find and adjust the idle screw.

Your battery is probably shot. The batteries for the Worx trimmers are terrible. They sell replacement batteries on ebay, but if you can afford it i highly recommend buying a quality trimmer from your local hardware store, either plug in or gas.
