2.0 out of 5 stars Fuel line problem, April 25, 2008

This review is from: Factory Reconditioned Homelite ZR21506 17-Inch 26cc Gas-Powered Mighty Lite Curved-Shaft String Trimmer (Lawn & Patio)

The trimmer is cheap, and as they say, you get what you pay for.

I read a couple reviews in which they were complaining about not being able to start the unit or it would not run for long; on any engine this points to a fuel problem. In the case of the Homelite one or two string models, the intake fuel line is a jury rig nightmare that needs to be replaced immediately and should have been done correctly at the factory: Remove the pieced together mess the factory installed and replace with one fuel line you can pick up from any lawn mower repair shop, run the fuel line through the hole in the tank, attach the filter and then pull the line away from the tank until you have enough to attach to the engine intake tube.

You should not have to do this, but I am finding that over 50% of what I buy these days requires initial fixes to bad designs.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disgusted with this company, May 19, 2007

By

Being unable to get this string trimmer started,when I first received it, I took it to the designated repair shop and was told that the carburetor was full of rust. This repair cost me $25.00, not to mention the annoyance of driving 20 miles to the repair shop.

A few days later I realized that the little gas tank on the trimmer leaks and all the gas/oil mixture leaked out onto my basement floor.

I called the company a number of times and was never able to speak to anyone, because they don't answer the phone and don't return my calls.

1.0 out of 5 stars Trash ..Junk.., June 24, 2007

If you buy one of these cheapo reconditioned homelites you may as well save you money!! Go to the casino and you will have a better chance of getting something.

Mine looked pretty when I took it from the box today but it won't run for more that 1-2 minutes tops. My dog eats more grass than this junker can trim.

Check the fine print when purchasing one of these from ------ tools. They want you to ship it back or take it to a repair center. More money spent.

I just wanted a trimmer that worked!
