Hello Wendy,

Weedeaterfeatherlite.com is not the official website of the weedeater brand. We are an information only website.

I have come across this problem before. The issue is the rotating cutter head is no longer rotating, although the inner mechanical drive shaft is. This causes much friction causing the head to melt.

If you or a friend is mechanically minded then follow our how to guide on how to fix the problem (link below).

How To fix a non-Rotating Trimmer Head

If you cannot fix it yourself then unfortunately it would be cheaper to replace the whole trimmer. Or if you have warranty with the place of purchase then I would recommend returning it.

Hope this helps.

From: Jim

I was given this unit by next door neighbors family after the parents both passed away. It ran fine last year, but won’t start this year. I always use Sta-bil in the fuel mixture and empty tank when put up. I filled it with fresh gas & oil mixture, but it failed to start. I used some of the “Mechanic in a Bottle” sold at Walmart since only 10% ethanol/reg fuel was available last year. It now starts but only till the primed the fuel runs out. I also noticed there were no fuel lines going down into the tank, just the two connectors near the cap on the inside. Could the lines have disolved or hardened and dropped into the tank? I also noticed the card gasket is two piece, which piece goes on top the thin one or the thick one.

Hello Jim

Please find links below where you can purchase both fuel lines:

#530069247: Small Fuel Line

#530069216: Large Fuel Line

Empty the fuel tank and check to ensure that no debris is in the tank.
