Weedeater Featherlite FL20 head spinning on its own without power

Hello Folks,

My five years old Weedeater Featherlite FL20 cranks & work only on a full choke. Moreover, upon turning, the Weedeater’s head simply starts spinning badly. If I touch the throttle after, it idles down completely, it immediately dies. Weedeater is having a lot of vibration with no power & free spinning. I have changed the air filter, carburetor, fuel lines and oil but the problem stays. Please help

Thanks a lot

Charles

Hi Charles

I would advise checking the compression on the Weedeater Featherlite FL20 because low compression is a major reason behind this problem or else call a professional mechanic in order to have a systematic inspection of your Weedeater.
