Fixing a $10 String Trimmer That Doesn’t Start - WeedEater Featherlite XT260 25cc

I picked up this WeedEater Featherlite XT260 (952711795) string trimmer for $10 to fix and flip. Let’s see if I can get it running again.

That was my first 2 stroke weed-eater I bought from Kmart back in late summer of 2012, loved it, but it had carb problems, only had it for 3 yrs, was hoping for it to last another 8 or 9 yrs. Until it stopped working, wish I still had it and could’ve fixed it. It was a powerful featherlight weed eater for the budget.

Definitely an underrated trimmer for sure. I was surprised with it during the 2 weeks I was testing it before cutting it loose

New one is 100 bucks, junk ones 5 bucks if it’s all there and looks good

better if it's liquid wrench since carb cleaner would be worse than straight fuel in removing residual lube.

[@BackyardRepairs]

never thought to use liquid wrench, thanks. I really just need to find a good squirt-type bottle to have 2cycle mix in for testing
