Question:
I just purchased a factory reconditioned 128LD trimmer. Upon starting it, I noticed that the engine runs jerky, feeling like it could cut off at any moment. More importantly when I squeeze the trigger and the engine revs up, there is a noticeable delay before the head starts spinning, as though the gears are slow to catch. Is this normal behavior? The main reason I purchased this trimmer is because my Husqvarna leaf blower has performed exceptionally. This trimmer just does not have the same feel. It is almost as if the condition for which it was originally returned was never truly corrected.
At this point I just want to return it and buy a new trimmer, but I will have to pay return shipping so I want to make sure this is not normal before doing so.
Thanks
