Question:
I recently purchased a WeedEater FL20C string trimmer from Northern Tool. The line reel does not rotate unless I pull very hard upward on the bottom shaft. As soon as I release the shaft it stops spinning or rotates very slowly. The two sections mesh together fine and I have tightened them very hard. Is something wrong with the cable meshing with the upper shaft drive? Solutions? Hope you can help. Fred

Hi Fred, thanks for using Answer Army. Yes, there seems to be issues with the two shafts meshing together on your unit. You can either take the trimmer back to the retailer depending on their return policy, or your local servicing dealer check it out. Please locate a dealer at www.weedeater.com. I hope this helps and again thank you again for using Answer Army.

My same weedeater, the trimmer head heats up then shuts the engine off. I have taken it to 2 fix-it shops here. They tell me it is cheap and you are lucky for it to last one season.
