Hi grumpy and wazzbat, I think that is good advice grumpy; I also have a small lawn, the only difference is that I have a cement driveway and garden edging, so I use an edger as well.
I use a Homelite bent shaft line trimmer fitted with a Ryobi bump-head, and am using 2.0mm Bynorm 6 bladed copolymer nylon line which lasts and feeds very well. The Homelite is very similiar to the 25cc Ryobi with a primer on the carby and is a bit hard to start after winter, owing to the fact that it does not have a fuel tap so stale fuel/oil is in the system.I try to use all the fuel up on it's last run before the winter lay-up to prevent that happening
