Trying to get my weed eater to start

It is either the tether or the non-return that lets air in, but doesn't let gas out. Most parts are obsolete.

The adjustment screw on the feather lite can be flush in the carburetor but i do believe you'll need a special type screw driver to adjust that carburetor. I've seen some screws with splines on them and some with a slot. The air adjustment on that model is very finicky so take your time.

Go to a lawn shop and they should have the plug you need!

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

When I bought a new poulan gas trimmer, I had the same problem. Solution was to return it and get another one. They come with problems, even new. Just keep returning them until you get one that works correctly. Mine works great, but like I said, had to return it and get one that was right.

50:1 if that is too rich the weed eater will give off white smoke then use 30:1

Yes. any 2 cycle oil will do. It is right do not use marine oil it runs alot thicker than 2 cycle oil.

Sounds like you will need to clean your carburetor.
Sometimes you can get by with priming it a few times, and letting it
run a few times like that and it will flush the gunk out of the jets,
but most of the time you will need to rebuild the carburetor.
If the mower is over a couple years old, then I also recommend that you
buy and install a new carburetor repair kit, because the diaphragm will
get hard and that will cause it to be hard to crank.
When you clean your carburetor and remove the jet screws, count the
number of turns it takes to seat the jets from their original position.
That way when you go to put the jets back in, you know how many turns
they were in/out.
Please rate me, Thanks
Good Luck, I hope this helped
