Weedeater Featherlite

I have replaced the fuel lines/filter and the carb on the Weedeater Featherlite blower fb25 but have the same exact results as with the old fuel lines and carb. Engine will start and run for a few seconds then die. I bought the special adjustment tool and have the carb adjusted correct but this thing still wont run right.

Any suggestions ?

Hi Gary,

When your Weedeater start and runs only for a few seconds before shutting down usually is due to the carburetor. On the assumption that you have replaced and correctly adjusted the carburetor (To correctly adjust the carburetor use our guide here!) I would now check the engine. The first thing I would check is the engine compression.

Please follow our guide below:
