@TufdogsPlace

it is an aftermarket head, & I don't know what a FL 200 is. I assume you mean a Featherlite string trimmer. in which case yes it will fit, that's what mine are. . as for recommendations,.. IDk there are so many . just look for something that isn't expensive and looks simple, to complicated opens the gate for things to go wrong and be a hassle. I like this one cuz you feed the line through it then wind it up and it's restrung. but I can't remember what it is called. I may have some videos about different heads in my playlist.

Great video and very informative. Would a hot bushing cause the string line to melt together and cause the weed eater to not run? It tries to run but quits on me. It gets very hot where the head meats the shaft. And, also, what makes my weed eater vibrate very badly? I also have a feather lite weed eater. I had a shop to look at it but he did not listen to me and only adjusted the carb. Now, it runs so fast and is using too much gas. I NEED HELP. Please reply. Thank you so much
@TufdogsPlace
Жыл бұрын
Yes, the bushing getting hot will cause your line to get hot and melt together, * the vibrating can be from the line on the head being out of balance, or having a gob of grass debris build up on it. as for the motor it's self it shouldn't be out of balance. You can turn your idle speed down yourself, just do it a lil at a time so if it won't start you can un do the last adjustment. If you aren't sure how to turn it down, I made a video on adjusting the carb on these too. Hope that helps. Good luck

@@TufdogsPlace Thank you so much. I sure appreciate it. Would the carb need adjusted too, so it won't use so much gas? Also, I forgot to mention. If it picks up a rock in t throws it really hard and fast. Like the head is spinning way to fast. The shop guy said all he did was adjust the carb. Would that cause all these problems? Sorry to bother you again. But I need to get my old and faithful weed eater well again. Thank you for replying 🙂

@@sherryleeperdue9576 I told you in the previous response to turn your idle down to a more comfortable setting. as for it throwing rocks, it's gonna do that. That's the nature of the beast. a motor turning fast enough to whack weeds will also throw rocks.

I had the same problem. After the assembly I tested and the weedeater heated it up again. I removed the bump head and started the engine, now the temperatura was ok. I put again on the bumping head and I noticed that the unbalance of the damaged head was the root hause of the heating up. I installed a replacement but it is really difficult to put the nylon threads. I can not get the original bumping head. Can someone help me to locate the spare part ?

Best way to keep er cool is you take it inside in the ac, whilst drinking a cold beer. I've got a Weed Eater similar, that keeps spinning even at idle. Does yours spin all the time? I've got a parts diagram and I dont see a clutch in mine, fx26sc model. What else could be causing that I wonder?
@TufdogsPlace
6 жыл бұрын
I'm pretty sure there is a centrifugal clutch on all these units. Otherwise the head would never stop spinning. It's probably small and perhaps looks like it may be something else. Look between the shaft and engine, It may be galled up & sticking a bit.
