I installed this on my weed trimmer. Now when I push it in, it does not return to normal configuration. It just stays "pushed-in".

the short goes to the carb., long hoes to the tank and you have to press it in about 5 times and the first time it may be more than 5 times and if it don't work you must have a leak or your carb . needs cleaning.

That has never happened to me and I don't know what the problem is. Perhaps there is a vacuum in the fuel tank and if you uncap the fuel tank and equalize the air pressure before refueling it should work.

See what happens when you disconnect the vacuum lined, if it returns you have a problem in the vacuum line or where it connects. Try blowing thru the line & see what happens..

I do not know for sure. Remove the fuel filter and try. If it fixes the problem then you have a bad fuel filter. Maybe something is stuck in the fuel line going in to the carburetor. I used it to bypass my weed trimmer once to bypass the bad original priming system and it worked. I never seen this primer bulb installed in a weed trimmer before. If nothing fixes the problem You might have a defective primer bulb

It is a small, finger operated pump. It sucks gas from the tank and gets it to the carb until the engine gets running. Be sure you didn't install it backwards and if that is OK then the tiny screen filter inside the tiny carb is plugged. Open the carb and get some carb cleaner.

This should not be occurring; it should pop back out. You're creating a vacuum somehow. Check the lines to make sure they are not kinked or plugged.

Sometimes the line does not feed for me. What I found out is that there is a black button on the feed line housing. Push in on the button while pulling on the trimmer line to advance. It works for me.

I would contact manufacturer and explain problem. I have done this several times over the years with different itemsand often times a replacement is sent. Hope it works this time for you as this is a very handy tool!!!

Hi, - it is unpredictable: certain weeds just bend over; it also depends on the ground conditions - any bumps/valleys (not TOTALLY flat ground) allows for the mower to dip/rise with the wheels, and does not do a consistently good job - I was disappointed. The handle should lock in place - it does not, and therefore it will move forward/backward with the rise/fall of the land, pulling mower off the ground and once again not cutting well. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, this is just the opinion of my family (and I even had my neighbor try it) = 6 people + for the price I was not happy at all; I am waiting to get a gas mower!!

I never had a problem, it just screwed right in. I just unscrewed it to check: the bottom part definitely has threads on the outside of the pole part and the middle pole has threads on the inside. Must be defective. :( Have them send you another.

I don't think it works. I bought this also and had the same problem. There may be another attachment. I nver figured it out and just sent mine back.

John,How do get the trim line to come out of your trimmer's head? Mine requires me to pull the trigger 20 times each time I want to advance it or I have to do it manually.

You are supposed to have to lock in different position to put in your new combination. I tried it and it didn't work. I had to use bolt cutters to free. I got a different one from the same company. I used the default combination.

I removed the piece of plastic completely with a small screw driver. But After I screwed the sprout back, it became a little bit looser. Still works though.

None at all with the one I received. I am quite pleased with that as other weed eaters I have owned (None poulan) seemed to have that problem.

Dan, I would like to be able to answer your question. However, I do not know. I found out about this tool by doing a search for it online according to the weed-eater it was to be used on. Wish I could help you!!! The other answer provided here by another Amazon customer, is right on target. The adjustment screw will be D-shaped if it is the correct tool.

I had a similar problem with a new mower. Try pushing the start button in and holding it in until, hopefully, the blade moves.

Wind the cord on to the weed whacker? Really? I'm not sure how else you would wind it, other than by hand. Review your tool's owners' manual or go on youtube. This question is independent of the product sold here and the process is dependent on your specific tool.

No! You push the 'lock' switch so you can activate the trigger. I have had at least 5 similar trimmers, and they all operate under the same principal. Once the trigger switch is in operation, that's the one you use. By the way the Gardena is the best by far of those that I have owned.

Sorry, I haven't tried that yet, but it's toggle switches, so I think it locks in place. Sorry I wasn't of any more help. It's a really good hairdryer, but the toggle switches are in a cumbersome place. Right where I grip the handle!!

UGH, I do not know what to say but contact Dupont or send it back if it is defective. If you twisted it off when you received it, I don't understand why it wont go back on. sorry. I have only had good results with them, maybe you got a bum.

This trimmer is meant to be self feeding, but it should only be feeding out line as you need it. If it is feeding out more than that, I would check the spool to make sure it and the spring loaded cap are both installed correctly I ususally have the opposite problem, where after extended use, the line heats up and doesn't want to feed out, but it is easily corrected by removing the cap and adjusting the spool. Were you using something other than factory line before?
