I can strip my Norton to the bare frame, strip the engine down to the crank (it's bolt together) and build it back to running condition. I can even rebuild an Ossa Pioneer and make it run but, for the life of me, I can't make, an almost new, Weed Eater run for two season in a freaking row! I have a huge amount of trimming that needs doing. With the recent rains it's even worse. I need a dependable string trimmer or I won't be able to find my car in the tall grass. I have three of the fockers in my shop and each one has it's own demon. I have pulled the starter rope so much that one arm is bigger then the other and my chest feels like I am having heart trouble. I have worn a blister between two fingers on both hands! I have been into the carb, traced the fuel lines and cleaned it to within a inch of its life. I stink like premix and carb cleaner. It will run but not long. It will run really well if I pour premix down its gob but only until the gas treat runs out. I know I probably need to replace the gaskets but it's only a year old. I will order parts rather than buy another one of these piss poor devices.

I just hate these two stoke torture devices.

I had an anemic electric one for around the house but I burned it up. It just couldn't take the strain.

(That's a technical term, by the way).

I am, and am likely to remain, annoyed.
However, technically, today ends in less than half an hour, tomorrow may be more palatable., let's see.
