Gas string trimmer tune-up.
Original Message Mar 23, 2009 3:51 pm

Spring is almost here, and we been getting quite a few 60F plus days. While waiting for the last snow storm/blizzard to arrive before preparing the snowblower for summer and fall hibernation, I thought I get in the spring cleaning mode and get my lawn equipment up and running.

Besides getting new fuel lines, fuel filter, air filter, and a new spark plug, what is the proper way to service a diaphram carburetor? What's involved?

Also, I need a new bump feed head. Any recommendations on the quick and easy loading heads from Stihl, Shindaiwa-Echo brands?
