Weedeater Featherlite SST25 Shuts off Once Throttle is open

Hello Guys,

My five years old Weedeater Featherlite SST25 cranks & idles quite well, however it dies immediately once the throttle is open particularly when I open it rapidly. New fuel lines, plug, gas, primer bulb, carburetor remodeled, muffler not blocked. I am confused what to do?

Your help and suggestions would be highly appreciated

Thanks

Russell

Hi Russell

I guess the main culprit is a blocked or dirty carburetor because it always causes an irregular flow of fuel & loss of power. Moreover, at full choke, your Weedeater might not get the required fuel in order to work appropriately. I would suggest cleaning the carburetor. I hope that it will solve your problem.
