I don't remember how to start my weed eater;i've lost my manual

Want to give us a hint as to what kind of weed Eater this is? Most gas models use a mixture but the ratio can vary between manufacturers.

• #1 - Change Fuel Filter
• #2 - change or clean Spark Arrestor
• #3 - Change or clean Spark Plug
• #4 - Clean carburetor

Order of importance, Start at #1 and work forward.
Look here...

If you see gas in the primer bulb it is pulling in gas to the bulb. If not check for cracks in the bulb assembly and check to see if the fuel lines are not off their fittings and not cracked.

have you checked for spark?if so open the muffler and clean the screen inside of it

most mowers have a dip stick like a car and the oil should be changed often and acting as if it wants to stall try fresh fuel gas is only good for 30 days in small engines

All internal combustion engines use oil of some description. I take it this is a 2 cycle engine and you have not added oil to the gas. If this is the case the engine is locked up, and must be replaced. Sorry.

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

Try a now spark plug first. If it is still hard to start then it is probably because of low compression due to worn rings and these need to be replaced.
