Ok guys, i managed to score a weedeater edger (ge 21).
After changing both fuel lines and the primer bulb (brittle poo) i gave the edger a run.
1st of all, the choke seems ok (after 2-3 pulls you get the brisk kickover), but, the edger itsself wont run unless i half squeeze the throttle and pull on the starter, sometimes i need to prime it to hell to get ti to run, I took apart the carby and gave it a soak in petrol, blew most of the cavities with carby cleaner but it did not seem to make a difference.
Once running (and squeezing the throttle) it goes well, but as soon as i start backing off the throttle the edger will just die. And a restart will take a while (more priming and pulling).
does anyone know whats going on? (i simply blame the cheap edger and think thats about as good as they get but im not sure)
There are carby adjusting screws (blue and brown/red) which are limited to 2/3 of a turn, turning them made little difference.
BTW, just to clarify, the thinner fuel line goes to the bottom inlet (six o clock) and the thick line goes to the 4 o clock position?
