Thanks! Does anyone know if weedwackerpartsmanual.com is a safe website? It asks you to download some software, which makes me very leery.

I would not download software - I found it in a web search -- do a search for "Troy Bilt manuals"
Sorry I didn't check out that site before linking it.

Just wanted to mention that I WAS able to get the trimmer running. I'm not sure what the problem was or what I did that worked, but after lots of cranking (with the electric starter) and sputtering, it did actually start and stay running. Thank you for all the advice!

OK -- Glad you got it running. Just hope you can repeat when needed. :thumbsup: :biggrin:

My guess would be that since you could smell fuel that it was flooded, if you smell fuel again and it won't start switch the choke off #3 position hold the trigger in the wide open position then try to start.:thumbsup:
