Customer Reviews
Fuel line problem
The trimmer is cheap, and as they say, you get what you pay for.
I read a couple reviews in which they were complaining about not being able to start the unit or it would not run for long; on any engine this points to a fuel problem. In the case of the Homelite one or two string models, the intake fuel line is a jury rig nightmare that needs to be replaced immediately and should have been done correctly at the factory: Remove the pieced together mess the factory installed and replace with one fuel line you can pick up from any lawn mower repair shop, run the fuel line through the hole in the tank, attach the filter and then pull the line away from the tank until you have enough to attach to the engine intake tube.
You should not have to do this, but I am finding that over 50% of what I buy these days requires initial fixes to bad designs.
Trash ..Junk..
If you buy one of these cheapo reconditioned homelites you may as well save you money!! Go to the casino and you will have a better chance of getting something.
Mine looked pretty when I took it from the box today but it won't run for more that 1-2 minutes tops. My dog eats more grass than this junker can trim.
Check the fine print when purchasing one of these from ------ tools. They want you to ship it back or take it to a repair center. More money spent.
I just wanted a trimmer that worked!
Homelite= Cheap Junk
I bought this Homelite string trimmer on the strength of Consumer Reports' tests and reliability reports. This is the first time I've been disapointed in a product CR recommended. The Trimlite UT20763 is very cheaply made. The fishing line feed got tangled over and over again, requiring disassembly and re-winding dozens of times every summer. But the last straw was when the plastic side panel that holds the air filter broke after one season. I ordered a replacement cover, but the cheap plastic hoses that suck the gas/oil mixture out of the tank would no longer connect properly. Unfortunately, I never noticed the gas leak until it was too late-- gas all over my garage...the smell was sucked into our house and now I can't get rid of it!!! Stay away from Homelite!!
