I actually just started my chainsaw, poulan pro from lowes, for the first time in seven years. I add to all my gas cans for small equipment. I firmly believe that seafoam is the best additive for keeping the gas from gumming up the carbs.

I also add an ounce of seafoam to the gas so it always has it. I changed the spark plug once and cleaned the air filter once. I bought mine at the time for the weight as well. It's also fun to see how long you can keep it running! Parts are cheep, fix it and have fun learning how to do so. I grab the weedeater because it is light and is good in tight areas.

The only items I ever change are fuel lines every couple of years and a primer bulb.Īs a side note, a also have a Kawasaki kbl27 and a sthil fs85. Mine is a 2000, and it gets used about the same amount as yours. I can't imagine having to buy one every 2-3 years. I have not had to pull the carb on it and it starts every spring with no problems. I use it about 30 hrs a year and after 14 years it still starts with 3-4 pulls. I have a weedeater featherlite that I bought new in 2001.

Once again, it's lighter and vibrates less, and the battery is good for about 20 minutes use, then I change it to the other battery that it came with and continue working. I also got rid of my 2-stroke string trimmer and bought a Li-ion battery powered Black & Decker. It's a pain to drag out 150 feet of extension cord to get to my furthest hedges, but I think the electric hedge trimmer is an overall win over the 2-stroke. I went out and bought an electric hedge trimmer that weighs less and vibrates less. To me, it wasn't worth the time and frustration to chase down the problem. The carb didn't have any adjusting screws, so I said 'screw it' and threw the thing in the trash. The last gas-powered hedge trimmer I bought ran good for two years, then became hard to start and wouldn't idle unless I fiddled with the choke. I just look at those cheapy 2-stroke string trimmers and hedge trimmers as disposible.
