I don't know if you figured this out. I just had to deal with the same thing.
Weed Eater Feather Weight
Remove the feeder and the return hoses from the carbeurator. I neglected to pay close attention when I did this, but was told that the line with the fuel filter on it (In my unit, it is the smaller diameter line) fits onto the nipple on the bottom of the carb.
The larger diameter line is the return line and connects to the nipple that extends out from the carb at an angle. I have not completed the job, but am fairly sure that this is correct. (I think this is where you got stumped) Removed the plastic housing that covers the combustion chamber, crank case, etc. There are five allen head screws: four around the crank case, and one up near the spark plug.
Once you remove the screws, the plastic housing slides off. It may take a little pulling and tugging, but it should slide off without needing to pry it off (at least that is how it worked out for me.) 3. The two allen-head screws that secure the fuel tank to the plastice engine housing can be easily removed.
(NOTE: hang on to the little bushings and remember to use them when attaching the new tank.) 4. After you attach the new tank and secure the plastic engine housing, attach the fuel and return lines as indicated in #1 above. Hope this helps.
And please let me know if I have stated something that turns out to be incorrect. Jimmy, I have had the same problem. I'm not sure yet whether I have totally solved the problem, but it appears to be improved. It is a fairly simple job to loosen and remove 4 screws that hold the handle which houses the trigger and holds the shaft on the motor assembly. Use a hex wrench and carefully remove the screws; then, separate the plastic pieces and remove the shaft from the motor housing. (There is also a screw that holds a plastic piece around the shaft itself that must be loosened.) Pull the cable all of the way out of the shaft from the upper part of the aluminum tube. I greased the cable well with a good high temp.
All-purpose grease. (Be certain to grease the ends of the cable well, which are formed into a square shape.) In fact, I removed the cable twice and added big globs of grease on the end that goes into the shaft to the bottom (above line hub assembly where the overheating is occurring). I should have mentioned that on my Weedeater, I had to replace the dust cap above the line hub assembly. It had deteriorated due to a design flaw (I believe).
The dust cap looks like a large nut that screws on a piece coming out of the shaft, with the open side facing toward the top of the shaft. The part costs about $7 plus shipping if you order online. Hope this helps you. As I said, my FL20 seemed to work OK following this procedure. While I haven't used it to cut weeds yet, I did run it a few minutes; and the overheating did not occur. Hi Bo, Running straight gas in a 2-cycle tool is usually deadly to the tool. Most likely the cylinder and piston have been worn due to the lack of lubrication and the engine no longer has enough compression to run.

At minimum the cylinder and piston will need to be replaced. There is likely damage to the crankshaft and connecting rod journal as well. You can find more information about mix ratio's and what happens to a tool when oil is not added to the gas at the following link.

Hi Tom, It sounds like a clogged carburetor to me. The carburetor can become clogged by dirt or other debris.
The dirt may get by a damaged or missing air filter. It can enter through a crack in the fuel lines. Some tools use a foam air filter. Over time the filter itself will breakdown and create debris that will enter the carb and clog it. It is a good idea to replace the air filter at least once a year. If fuel is left sitting in an unused engine for more than a couple of months the fuel will begin to breakdown and go bad. As the fuel breaks down it will start to become gel like as well as begin to coat the internal parts of the carburetor with a varnish.
The gel and varnish will plug the carburetor so that fuel can no longer flow through it. To get your engine running again you will need to either rebuild or replace the carburetor. When you replace the carburetor it is always a good idea to also replace the air and fuel filters. This helps ensure that more debris won't clog the new carburetor.
There are rebuild kits available for the carb on your trimmer. A rebuild should solve the problem. Good luck with your repair! Hi Tom, I just purchased a featherlight weed eater that has the same problem right out of the box. I called the company and was told that due to California emission standard they had to start building the carburetors differently.
So we need to take our brand new weed eater to a repair shop and get the carburetor adjusted. I don't even have any repair shops in my area that will work on it. I wish they had made a note of this on the box so I had been made aware of this before purchasing it.
I am really disappointed too, because I just retired my old featherlight that I used the crap out of. Unfortunately I will be returning it and getting a different brand. When you choke you cut off air to allow more fuel into the cylinder during the power stroke, until it warms up which does not take long. Check the air filter. If it is dirty clean it with gasoline by soaking it and squeezing the fuel out of it. If you left the fuel in the tank over the fall and winter, the carburetor will need cleaning using clean gas. You will need to remove it from the block and thoroughly clean it.
Watch carefully how you handle any gaskets not to tear them. Place together after cleaning.
1 You need to clean the carburetor and then make sure that you use the right mix ratio for the fuel, it sounds as if a diaphram may have a small hole the problem with the rotor head tou put on is one it is too heavy for that model and 2) the nut will not stay threaded as it is too shallow into the reciever so when it stalls it tends to jerk a little backwards and the nut comes undone it is really unsafe to use anything but a string trimer on that machine there is one that holds real heavy duty line and it works perfect. 2005 yamaha ttr 230 owners manual. Good luck with the carb usually I replace them as you can get them for about 25.00. Hi Whit, You have done well to keep your weed eater running and working for 15 years. Even better to only now have to replace the perished fuel lines. I found the following useful tips for your problem: 1. Open the gas cap and remove the broken fuels lines, debris and filter 2. Buy a smaller and larger fuel lines and filter.
Push the larger fuel line into the larger hole on the tank about 1 inch. Push the smaller fuel line into the other hole in the gas tank. Pull this line through the gas tank cap opening 5. Put the fuel filter on the end of the small gas line. Place the smaller fuel line and filter back into the tank. Connect the other end of the small gas line onto the carb 8.
Same for larger fuel line Your good to go! I found this useful information on a specific weed eater aftermarket site Here!!
