i found this trimmer in the trash
replaced the fuel line, added fuel, and after a few pulls i got it working
Homelite ST165 (UT20536)
i cant tell what trimer line it uses. its packed with white. the line breaks often, its pretty thick. only white line i found is AF100 and that all comes on a spool.
does anyone know if these had any attachments available to them? info is pretty scarce
so far it made good wacking of thick shrubs
google the model # to find out what type of line it uses. jesus frick are you this goddamn lazy and moronic? you provided the goddamn model # but I wont do your research for you. do it yourself first lazy frick
Do not trust everything you seen on the internets young'in
>Do not trust everything you seen on the internets young'in
so the manufacturers website is going to lie about what string is used in their own products... the instruction manual is also a lie?
It's a fricking trimmer. Internet will also have, holy frick, tech data whose exploded views make working on stuffs easy.

Measure the old line with calipers. You do have tools don’t you anon? My god to be so helpless.
>Measure the old line with calipers
jesus frick just google the fricking model # and look at the manual where it FRICKING TELLS YOU what line to use. why go thru all this. and who has calipers laying around all the time? your average dunce homeowner wont even know how to use them let alone have them. I swear you people dont have a clue and offer the most ridiculous advice for a simple solution. no wonder people bash you fricking morons in every thread. you are all fricking morons
It's a trimmer from the 80s. I can't find shit on it. I left the model number in the post. Why don't you fricking look and tell me what you see. c**t
just use the correct diameter. the color doesn't matter.
and trimmer line dries out, make sure to ad a bit of water into the plastic bag.
you could also soak the old white line in water for a few days and see if it breaks less
>Why don't you fricking look and tell me what you see. c**t
not my problem. do your own research you fat lazy dicknozzle
>and who has calipers laying around all the time?
Where do you think he's working on this weed whipper? In a hotel room while he's on vacation in the Bahamas? Surely he's in or immediately adjacent to his garage and/or workshop right now.
>Surely he's in or immediately adjacent to his garage and/or workshop right now.
doesnt mean he owns calipers. not every DIY garage homosexual will own calipers
>reddit spacer cant afford calipers
like pottery
>reddit spacing
nice meme. spacing has been around way before the internet and reddit. I guess you never had any sort of education other than your uncle showing you how to play cave explorer
>spacing has been around way before the internet and reddit.
Just not for you tourist
What kind of education did you get where youve never seen a pair of calipers before?
Oh wow, touched a nerve there did I bud? Sorry you haven’t got any tools, must be the case for you to fly into apoplectic fit at the mere mention of calipers. You know calipers are a basic hand tool yeah? Like not even half a rung above “apartment dwellers first basic tool kit” or “tools to keep in the truck.” Really, extremely introductory. I didn’t tell him to chuck it up in his lathe and break out the test indicator with sliding magnetic stand and check it for runout, did I? No, I suggested grabbing a basic, babby tier, everyone-who-isn’t-a-broke-teenager-should-own level measuring tool to measure the cylindrical object. Do you balk at the mere mention of tape measures as well? Whoa, slow down there big money baller, some of us only have a ruler!! Ha. Hahahaha. What’s life like in the favela in which you reside? Are there many feral dogs, or just the typical amount?
nice blog, homosexual
That’s a b***h trimmer.
>i cant tell what trimer line it uses.
Use what fits in the holes. Not rocket surgery. Do you think the additional weight of a slightly thicker string will bog down a 1/2 HP motor? If it does, you didn't actually fix the trimmer, you just got it to spin.
>. Do you think the additional weight of a slightly thicker string will bog down a 1/2 HP motor?
It wont fit on the spool
>It wont fit on the spool
Have you tried a smaller size?
No, I always put the right size trimmer line on
I dont guess because of a lack of basic tools
soak that white line, its dried out.
line is nylon which adsorbs water, like good quality zip ties often have a bit of water added in the packaging
