My dads friend had a problem with a 2 stroke weedwacker. Had spark and everything but it wouldnt run. Turns out the key that holds the flywheel to the shaft was sheared off and the timing was off.

Have you tried adjusting the carb?

It is working now.

One neighbor came and pulled it a few times extra hard. It seemed that it was flooded too much with oil and gas. I also bought an engine cleaner which did the trick.

Hi cheba,

Lol. If you eat enough beans you don’t have to buy a can, just aim with precision or use a funnel backwards! :shock:

To fix a flooding, remove spark plug, allow excess fuel to evaporate from combustion chamber for a few minutes, perhaps blow it out with compressed air, replace spark plug, try again.
