Weed wacker runs then quits and won't start for hours

I have a Troy-Bilt model TB70ss string trimmer. It will ru for a while and then quit. I will not be able to start it for quite a few hours. When I can get it started, it starts easily and runs well - for a period of time - and then quits again. It will only run for ball park 20 minutes. I tried fresh mixed gas/oil and this did not help. This machine is brand new. Any ideas?

Sounds as if the issue is related to heat. Possible ignition failure when hot. (I see that alot in my shop.) If the unit is new take it to an AUTHORIZED repair shop and it should cost you nothing. Locate your nearest repair shop HERE.

Hope this is helpful,

Hi. Go to any auto parts store and get a can of starter fluid. Have a helper squirt a little into the air cleaner while u start it up. Then continue to squirt the starter fluid to keep it running until the engine sounds good again. J.

I have a TROY-BILT String Trimmer model TB70SS and I cannot get it restrung when the string runs out. Do you have a manual that shows how to load the string for this model?
Click Here For Your Manual.

If it takes you back to your model number & serial number, simply enter your model number and any random number for the serial. You will be able to access the manuals from there.

I hope this helps.

Troy built weed eater won't feed line
Check the size of the line,(OD), make sure you are using the correct size, sometimes cheap line will be problematic, also, you said you are re-stringing it, try a new batch of string, the old string inside the hub can get chaffed and will stick to itself...

I don't know how to load line into the Troy Bilt Speedlock head
cut to pieces of string about 8 ft long. run your line through the holes on the side of the head. you will see 2 smaller holes on the inside. put the string in those 2 holes and begin turning your head to install the string.
