I keep mine running as well bought it in around 2005, got a sacrificial for free for spare parts. I gave up on the switch just touch the wires together to kill it. Reason i keep it going is it has a pole saw attachment with it. Only thing i have to rebuild the carb diaphram a so many years but now that i found ethanol free gas its seems to last longer.

It really won’t die. Every year I get excited to go get a stihl.. but then it starts up on the second pull.

@@design2survive i wont pay for a stihl overrated i have an echo vac blower that keeps going no carb issues so if i buy anything it will be echo. My buddy back in DC runs a sideline arborist business and he uses echo now as well. I use both the pole saw and trimmer quite a bit so i definitely dont want to have to contend with two pieces of equipment keeping them going. Two strokes are great until they arent then they can be a nightmare.

Yes, often times it is the clutch.

If you lift the trimmer up in the air it will grab the clutch again and spin but when you drop it down to the ground it will grab false neutral again
