General Product Question posted July 16, 2013 by B. CollinsQuestion:I've been reading slam after slam about the weedeater one. I have to say, I'm on my 3rd mowing season and have had nothing but great experiences.
The only problem I've had is a few flat tires (probably due to my mowing "style" (agressive)
I've never even disconnected the battery during the winter months... it fires right up in the spring!
Tips:
1. Engage the blades SLOWLY, like a clutch in a car
2. CHECK THE OIL before EVERY mow
3. Take your time...it's a small mower...if the grass is tall, go to 1st gear and do a 'half-cut' instead of loading the engine down
4. Keep the blade sharp...it makes it easier on the motor
5. Let it run for a few (15-30) seconds before putting it in gear...it's a carburated motor, it needs to warm up
6. Clean your air filter
7. Change the oil at leaset every riding season
8. Most important...treat the mower as something you want to keep for a while...you take care of it, it will take care of you!
Again... no issues except for tires...cuts great and always starts...
This is from a 180lb average guy in Middle Tennessee with a mowing season from mid-May - October(ish), mowing every 2 weeks or so...- General Product Question posted August 9, 2013 by jim metherdQuestion:I need to ask if there has been recall placed for the Weed Eater FL20C? I have used this unit for less than 8 total hours and it has malfunctioned again. I realize this is a lower priced item but if you review the attached photo it also shows a tag from being serviced for the same problem; the "gear as I will call it" is froze and will not move. The unit will not allow the cord to be pulled to start the motor. I hope that Weed Eater stand behind their product enough to offer some suggestion on what to do.Photo:

KNOW IT WILL NOT GO IN TO 2ND OR 3RD AND IF I TRY IT WILL THROW THE DRIVE CHAIN OFF. I TOOK IT TO ONE OF THE BEST REPAIR SHOPS IN EAST TEXAS, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRAMISION WAS MADE OF PLASTIC, AND I WOULD SPEND MORE THAN WHAT I COULD BUY A NEW RIDING LAWN MOWER FOR. SO I GUESS THAT I HAVE LEARNED A GOOD LESSON. NOT TO BUY WEED EATER OR ANY OF ITS PRODUCTS. THANKS YOU FOR A GOOD LESSON. I WILL TELL EVERONE HOW GOOD YOUR PRODUCTS ARE.
