Weed Eater SST25CE Gas Trimmer

Started up on second pull, and ran fairly well. The carburetor is factory adjusted at close to sea level. I'm at 5000 ft plus near Denver, CO. I had to nurse it to run at full speed. You can't adjust the low and high fuel mixture with a screwdriver. I had to order an adjusting tool online for about $7. (Poulan Weed Eater Carburetor, splined 530035560) Adjusted it and now there isn't any hesitation or bogging down. It's obvious that Poulan Weed Eater doesn't want the consumer to attempt any adjustments. I'm 61 and swapped out my car's transmission at 16. I wasn't about to pay anyone to adjust the carburetor of a 2 cycle engine.

WOW!! the reason for making this purchase is because of having to keep reloading trimmer line and the fact that this one use 1 larger dia. line is great. brought this home and it went together in a snap, the first time starting trimmer was a little concerning because i've been used to the old full choke/half choke weedeaters, but once started i had alot more trust in it..but the first time using this unit was a couple of days later, pushed in bulb a few times and started nicely, trimer the yard, it takes me about 30 mins and you know what the line is still intact and is ready for the next time, and the line is very easy to load much easier than the old spool..for the price i am very happy, this is a very good product. I have owned weedeater products for a while and have last vey well..

Bought unit initially hard to start. Returned it the next day. Got new one a bit hard to start. Did better later.

I truly cannot understand any negative reviews - this is my fifth weed trimmer (triumph of hope over experience?) I have two electric ones (need 100' cord for my garden), an expensive gas trimmer (heavy and difficult to start) and a battery driven one which constantly needs recharging and is not very strong. This one started easily for me (even when hot), the filament is so easy to replace. Spools never worked for me, even when tapped. My garden has never looked so neat. I can heartily recommend this unit - the first with which I have been really pleased.

I like the new design no choke. It is a good weed eater, and a great price. And if your walmart store don't have in store you can order on line and have it ship to store for free shipping.
