So I have done other string trimmer type videos in the past, that many people may wonder how to actually start their string trimmer or weed eater especially if it has been sitting for a while. 1 of the biggest problems with string trimmers, weed whackers, weed eater, etc, may be that it sits and will not start. It is important to check the gas is full with the correct gas oil mixture if needed, it is important to turn it on, and to prime the carb with the primer bult, and it may be necessary to choke the motor and to later turn the choke off, After the motor is warmed up I like non ethanol gas and also also having the right oil gas mixture if it is a two cycle engine. In this how to video I show you how to actually start a gas powered string trimmer that is a two-stroke.
This is a nice string trimmer, it uses to 2 strings on a dual spool, people may call them weedwhacker, weed eater, string trimmer, etc , but this is basically a machine that can be used for mowing grass edging sidewalks and roads they can even be used against plants. I believe Weed eater is a brand of string trimmer, however stihl, homelite, husqvarna, hitachi, make string trimmers, and people may call different brand string trimmers weed eaters, or weedeaters. I have done lawn care before in my life and using a gas string trimmer is a very useful tool when taking care of residential and commercial lines it’s nice to be able to edge and cut Grass with the same tool.
Some grass cutter weed wacker type machines, may have a fixed blade type cutter, but many line trimmers, weed wackers, have refillable spools that dispense line as you need it, there is in this instance a bump spool head, which make it easy to dispense line while cutting grass in the yard. To make line come of the spool, you merely bump the head on the ground while the motor is running, and line comes out.
If your spool is broken or not dispensing line, you may not have installed the trimmer line correctly, or you probably need to purchase a new string trimmer head. The bump head is nice to use.
There may be different sized weed eater trimmer line size, you can most likely look up your string trimmer online and find the correct size, A common line size may be .065 which may be printed on the shaft of your machine, online, on the spool, or in your owner’s manual. If you don't now the size of your string, then bring in a scrap of the old line and you may be able to size it with dial calipers. To rewind look at the middle of the spool and find the small place where line fits in, or slots where the weed eater trimmer line can be inserted into. Put the line in the slot, 1 line per slot or place where it fits in, and let the line spin as you wind up the weedeater line on the spool. It is nice to not have kinks in the line.
Some people may not want to overfill the weed wacker spool. You need to have the right balance of filling the spool, but not too much. I filled the spool pretty full with string trimmer line, if you are worried about, but you may want not fill the spool completely up. Once you have enough line on the spool cut it so several inches of trimmer line is in your hand and you are keeping it tight. I like to have several inches long, even over a foot, I can cut it later after the spool head is installed. This stihl is a two string trimmer so I cut two pieces of line and wind them both at the same time. Your spool could be larger or smaller so you may need a larger or smaller amount of line for your grass trimmer head spool.

Just moved into a house in the country in Upstate New York after living in the Middle of Los Angeles and Las Vegas my whole life, never once had to use a mower or weed wacker, my uncle just dropped one off and i have absolutely no idea how to even turn it on haha so I definitely appreciate the video.

[@KendallTodd]

[@littleflower23]

I just bought my first trimmer and couldn't get it started either. I'm hoping this video will help me tomorrow morning when I try to start it again.

[@observanthound1968]

Thanks! My dad passed away last year and he was the only one who could start it and I got it working!

What was the little irange switch that you turned one way and then the other way?

[@sewfun101]

I had to get pliers to open the gas cap. It was super tight. Glad I'm not the only one.

[@kristinesutton846]

I see that you primed it. then you didn't say the order you were starting the weed wakr, were you putting it on like pre throdel, then full throdel, then what? One needs the exact sequence and exact settings to get to that start. the ending piece was a wonderful jewel. thank you

You didn't actually say what you were doing ,ie what bits you were pressing together to start the trimmer, nor could I see what bits you pressed together.
