I have 2 weed eater brand weedeaters 18cc Featherlite and when i use both of them after a while they quit running ! I am using the correct fuel/oil mixture and i have changed the plugs and checked the air filters but this does not seem to help ! What could be wrong with them ?
Re: I have 2 weed eater brand weedeaters 18cc Featherlite...
Possible coil break down. These cheap weed eaters only have a life expectancy of about 50 hrs Plus or Minus. You can buy new for less that it cost to repair them.Sorry that's the facts.

search What is the correct spark plug gap?
The spark plug gap on all products is .025-inch.
What type of spark plug does the unit take?
The size of the plug varies from unit to unit. On trimmers, blowers and hedge trimmers is RCJ-8Y or RCJ-6Y. Follow the spark plug recommendation and replacement procedures in the operator's manual if you are doing the work yourself.
Pull air filter see if theres any oil in it,make sure the oil isnt overfilled. Push mowers usually smoke like that if theyre overfilled,or tipped on thier side,if there is oil in filter simply take filter off,drain oil to correct level,and run it till smoke goes away. If none of this is the problem rings are probably shot. Weedeater is a cheap brand and theyre made cheap too,not made to last.
