Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see

I'm have to respectfully disagree here. Recently the craftsman line of two cycle engines have gone WAY down hill.

I bought a weed wacker two years ago. Second cut, no start. Messed with it for an hour, then took it to sears hardware, where they happily replaced it. Took it home, cut beautifully, into the shed. A week later, same thing. Took it back, and they suggested I had bought their "cheap" line of weedwackers, and should buy the more expensive one. Apparently you need to pay more if you want to use your weed wacker twice? I reluctantly agreed, and forked over the extra $30 for the next model up. Went home, cut, waited a week, same thing.

Now I know what anyone would be thinking. That idiot didn't put oil in the gas, or didn't mix the right ratio. I can assure you I did, with good gas, that goes in every other 4 and two cycle engine I have, which is run weekly at a minimum. Nothing else has a problem, from tractor to leaf blower to chainsaw.

I had that one replaced, they were growing tired of me, and I of them. The second week, it started, but as soon as I gave it fuel, it died. I fiddled with the carb a bit, not that there were many things to adjust. Managed to trim, but it sounded terrible. I took it to them and said I want a refund, I've wasted to much time. Went to home depot, bought the cheapest ryobi, went home and cut all summer with it without one problem, using the same gas at that.

My experience may be unique, but it completely destroyed my faith in their two cycle engines. If they're actually made by husqvarna, they're getting the short end, because I have a husqvarna chain saw and leaf blower that share the same oil/gas can as my weed wacker.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Plow and Disc - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea ... [Read Article]
