Craftsman Weed Trimmer Automatic Feed Not Working, help?

[Chainsaw Collectors]

HI. Sorry that I have to ask about a weed whacker on the saw forum, but no one else has been able to help me. I recently got this Crafits an 32cc 17 inch weed whacker for free. It runs good, but the line won’t come out of the head. I’ve read the manual and that didn’t help. The manual said that it uses centrifugal force like bump heads, but my head is molded to the rest of the head. There is no spring and this is not set up like an ordinary trimmer. It says right on the machine that it has an automatic clutch and automatic line feed. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try putting some canola oil in when you feed the line. I do that when am cutting brush with my big trimmers.

I’ll try that. Thanks.
