If I had that as a project I'd try to figure out how to EFI it.

Lol...I'm not a carb fan either. For fun though, here's the carb after cleaning.

Yep...that's all of it. The upper left thing is the intake.

I can't weedwhack my lawn without keeping a carb adjustment tool in my back pocket. Cloud passes over the sun? Gotta adjust the carb. Wind blows from the south? That's a carb adjustment. You looked at the carb? That's more carb adjustment.


I almost want to megasquirt the damn thing.

That's hilarious...and so true. I especially like the "you looked at the carb" one!

Most days mine is ok but then it will take to not feeding the line and then it's go for a minute or two then loose the string, this happens about 4 or 5 times and I toss it over the fence into my neighbors yard. Then when he comes home he tosses it back, I figure some day he will either fix it or toss it in the trash.

I tossed the two smoke weed eaters for a nice lithium 60v and haven't looked back since.
