Soaking Stihl String Trimmer Line in Water: How much water will it absorb after 48 hours?
#stihl #stihlusa
Is your string trimmer using more line than usual? One possible cause could be that the line has deteriorated. Manufacturers recommend soaking the line in water to restore it, but how much water will it actually absorb? Join me as I conduct an experiment to see exactly how much water a 15-year old spool of Stihl string trimmer line will absorb.

    Small engines require a specific oil. Vehicle motor oil is not designed for air cooled engines and will break down from the heat these engines produce. Obviously clean and fresh oil is better than old oil but it will break down a lot quicker and increase wear.

    There is a good chance water is still caught all up inside that spool in ways of osmosis, to truly dry it out you'd have to unwind it all in one long string and let that sit outside for an hour or two in bright sunlight by which time it will likely look just like it did before. The white powder, by the way, helps keep the string from binding up inside the trimmer spool. I doubt that's because it's "dry," more like a baby powder that was added at the factory, many of mine come this way already.

    Thank you For updating us on this Honda issue. I want to share my thoughts and my experiencing that I'm having. I did get recalled repaired but I don't know if the valves has been adjusted and how would I know? I'm not a technician that's questionable second thing is that I've noticed with gas line valve in the off position I was able to run my mower for five days and noticed that it's possibly defective. Also I'm also noticing with the valve on of course it has encounter an idle issues, revving up and down possibly carburettor issue or something else with the recall Repair that's causing this issue. I've only had mines for about nine months. It's kept in the garage and clean no debris in the filter.etc I think Honda should've been changing out these lawnmowers or refunding the customers that are affected by these models that encounter too many issues

    Had an HRX217 with one of those plastic (Xenoy) decks. The deck cracked after about 10 years of residential use. Honda denied the lifetime warranty for the deck because i made a simple modification elsewhere on the lawn mower which they said "voided the warranty". The modification I made had no impact on the deck. This mower was the most expensive and shortest lived mower i've ever owned. I will never ever purchase another Honda lawn mower.
