This is the one I picked up. I didn’t even watch the review before I purchased it. But I looked at reviews online before I made my decision.

You want to run an engine hard right off the bat. The rings will seat into the cylinder better due to the sharper crosshatching on the cylinder wall. As long as everything is machined right and the clearances are right, you won't have any problems. And if they're not right, running it easy to start with isn't going to fix the problem. The only break in is the rings to the cylinder wall and that needs to be done right at the beginning and as hard as you can go at it. You want the higher cylinder pressure to force the rings into the cylinder wall.

Every gearbox gets hot... Even on stihl....

How do you replace the trimmer line?

I've got a Honda GX25 powered Husqvarna trimmer 224L. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Great unit.

There's a 31cc version of this machine, do you think it'll be a good commercial unit? Are spare parts easily available for it? Is it reliable?

Do I need to hold down only the top yellow button on the top when i start it or do i have to press the trigger and the top at the same time?

How much does it weight and how often do you need to add oil, please? Thank you

I think that craftsman has this same trimmer under their name. It looks the exact same with the 4ql branding just red.

Hey how is the machine holding up? Still working?

this helped me make my choice in 2024 thanks bro dope video.

Your unit started so nicely. I have a brand new unit and can't get it started at all!

The old shindaiwa is blue too

Split shaft is a nice feature

My cheap electric trimmer broke down, so want to get a gas one instead. This seems reasonably priced. I wonder though: my old trimmer would switch between horizontal mow and vertical mow, and even had a little wheel on the shield, so you could trim a perfect edge, with a vertically cutting string. Is this at all possible with gas powered trimmers as well? Thanks!

Bought this 4 years ago and its been nothing but a pain. Entire cheap plastic choke broke so now the choke is my finger. Then the spool assembly broke. Then the carb setting screw loosened from its fixed position, and finally the pull cord just snapped. There are no parts diagrams anywhere. I am gentle on all my I C

Great review! Is that machine considered a commercial, or homeowner unit? I'm guessing it's a homeowner unit right?
