Hi ALL!
I got this John Deere 250Ga String Trimmer a few years ago for like $5.00 @ a Tag Sale! I actually got it going then, soon as I found the tiny ON/OFF switch ! This is a commercial trimmer, with really thick line, two big handles and one of those back pack things to strap it on you !
I'm trying to get it going again,but having a hard time. I get fuel. I see that it comes right up from the tank. Just how do I check spark when your pulling on that cord ??
Any help would be great !!!

I buy weedeaters all the time and 'fix n flip' I call it...
To check spark, remove wire, unscrew spark plug, reconnect wire to plug, touch electrode to metal engine casing- when you pull on the cord, you should see a little spark in the plug.
