LONG LIVE THE HOMELITE!!!!!!!!

Well I tried! Got the gas! Sunoco Ultra 93 and it actually mixed! Made up a batch of fuel and stuck it in the blower, started it adjusted the mixtures again and again and again but I just could not stop it detonating! I took the covers off of the blower only to find the base gasket was leaking! DOH! So the engine was leaning out! Well I took the glowpug out and it was covered in bits of engine! Oh well! Actually under further investigation I also found that the cylinder had completely chewed through the spark plug lead! How it even run on gas is beyond me. On top of that many before have done bad repairs on it so the engine was leaking everywhere! I will be stripping it down in the future to see how bad the damage is though! In the meantime it's down to Walmart for me to pick up a 25cc weedeater!

On a happier note as soon as I gave up on the homelite I got out my Echo 1000 trimmer put the glow plug in that and boy did it run like a trooper!!!! No detonation and hardly any mixture adjusting needed but the only two problems are one it's only 16cc and two probably because of the angle plug head it shrouds the glow plug so it needs a glo plug driver to run at it's maximum.
