I have a brand new craftmans gas weedwacker. The line went completely in the head (after about ten minutes of use) and I can't get it out. It is a bump type head. Any ideas???

Question edited for clarity and spelling 'craftman' > 'Craftsman'.
Question moved to a better category.

There is no service manual, the Owner's Manual contains maintenance information.

Try leaving the chokey partially engaged. Operate it this way for a few minutes until the engine is thoroughly heated then move to the run position. If this does not work return it.

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly.

The best solution is to get the owners manual so you have complete information. Go to www.searspartsdirect.com and have your model number ready.

You can find a complete trimmer head replacement at Hyperparts.com. Go into the Lookup By Application section and select the make and model of your trimmer to see a list of the heads they offer.

Best Poulan Engine Match (probably real manufacturer):

My decisions are being driven by my experience with Poulan chainsaws. Small hose in tank (long enough to reach all corners), filter on bottom, connects to lowest connection on carburetor. Small hose on upper carburetor connection to small fitting on primer. Large hose from large connection on primer through largest tank hole, roughly mid tank long. nothing on bottom. I suggest you leave the 2 connections on the carburetor long enough they can be swapped (just in case) then try it. if no go swap them.

Typical fuel system and a suggestion or two:

This is how I would configure it if a chainsaw, doubtful they would do something completely different. In defense of Jerry, he knows how it should be done, clarity of instruction could use some help. Good Luck. HTH

You will need to get some TYGON fuel line. Match it up to the size of each fuel line, some of these trimmer use two different size lines, and remember which size went on which connection. You will want about a foot of each. Cut one end of each line at a 60 degree angle. With a pair of needle nose pliers, feed the angled end of the fuel line into the hole going into the tank and feed it into the tank untill you can see at the tank fill. You cut the angled end off and put your filter on the line. Pull it back until the filter lays at the bottom of the tank. Hook this line up to the supply side of carburetor. Take the other line and put it in the tank about 1" or 2"
then cut it off to fit on the carburetor. HTH
Good Day.

it sounds like your carb is out of adjustment and you need to adjust it. Look at the carb on your weedwacker, there is an idle adjustment screw somewhere on it and using either phillips or strait screw head and then carefully turning it clockwise go 1/8 of a turn at a time until the engine idles smoothly.

there is a breaker built into the switch had a few of these over the years were the switch just melted you mine as well take the handle appart and check the switch just be sure to unplug it as you already know lol replacement switchs available at searsparts.com
