That must be one old weedeater. I don't know of any of the newer engines that use rings. Most use the same ''pinch'' technology that our nitro engines use. Planned obsolesence at it's best... I've had to toss more than one weedeater or blower because compression was just completely gone once they heat up.

Wow, well I did some quick checking and I stand corrected.
Guess I've been a dumbazz for a while and been throwing away some engines that could have been fixed fairly cheaply...
Just damn..
Oh well, live and learn I guess. Thanks proanti1 for setting me straight on this.

I know this is old but here's 2 cents worth.
My Stihl weed whacker sat for two months W/ fuel in it.
carb went to hell, cost $35 to find that out and a new carb was priced at $75.
Seems Stihl owns Zama now and set their own price.
It's a great whacker but i'm putting a walbro on it, and if my Sthil chain saw screws up I'll do the same.
Both of them are fairly new and probably out live me, if not , NO MORE STIHL

I gotta reccomend Sthil They have diffrent grades of equipment the orange and black are more rugged then the white handle equip. and since Husqivarna was bought by Poulan they are crap too.
Actually if you buy a Poulan get it from Lowes or Home Depot and ensure their return policy. I went through 4 Poulan Chansaws in 3 days cutting fire wood by the time I was done cutting logs to size even the last one died so I took it back and just got a refund. I think of poulan as a rental that comes in a new box.
