Thanks Max
I have thrown out a few of that style trimmer as well recently - spark issues seem to be big with them
I am thinking I have a spare in a 240l bin full of motors - I know I have a good homelite sx 135 bandit motor from the 90s in there and a few others
Thanks for the thought, I will definitely keep it in mind if I don't have one in this bin.
Funny thing is I have better leaf blowers but this is the best design as you can quickly swap between the 2 modes and it vacs really well.
Thinking back I have seen so many of these covered in oil, I always assumed it was fuel lines and a dusty environment but maybe its their weakness in the half crank bearing
