My weed eater won't crank

Carb jets need adjustment.

Dirty screen in carb

HOW REPEAR THE FICTION HOB WEED EATER TRACTORS

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.

Use a hooked piece of wire to snag the filter through the fuel tank, it should pull off the fuel line.

If it is a pull start, leaving the switch on did no damage to the weed eater.

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.

If this is a 2 cycle engine , which most weed eaters are, then it sounds like probably the piston is locked up inside the cylinder. Try taking the spark plug out. if it still will not pull out then take the recoil cover off. There should only be 4 screws holding it on. Once you get that off see if the string pulls out of recoil if it does then check to see if you can turn the crank on the engine.If the recoil string does not pull over then that needs to be repaired or replaced. If the crank on the engine will not turn over by hand then your engine is siezed. If you take the covers off to expose the exhaust there are 2 bolts that hold it on take those out and look inside. If you see vertical scoring on piston then your machine isnot worth fixing

hey harry the float inside the carb is stuck i would suggest rebuilding the carb
