PROYAMA 42.7cc Gas Weed Wacker, 3 in 1 Heavy Duty Weed Eater Gas Powered, Brush Cutter and 2-Cycle String Trimmer Machine with Metal Blades for Lawn Care, 5 Year Warranty Gearbox

Assembled easily, started easily first 3 times we used it . it ran fine. I could not get it to start after about 45 minutes of total run time. Motor would fire a little but not run -no matter how much we dried it out or how fresh the fuel was or how we manipulated the choke; it was getting fuel as mix vapor was seen coming out of exhaust . We checked: sparkplug, swapped spark plug with a known good plug - no joy isolated ignition from switch- no joy pulled it apart- verified flywheel key had not sheared, verified magneto airgap etc, piston and rings looked virgin . installed new coil today -same deal- no start- it would sound as if firing but wouldnt kick off and run. unit has spark but seems very weak Pulled carb apart with no issues apparent. all diaphragms flexy and clean. Inlet needle arm level with casting. high speed needle in good condition. Now in process of re-setting mixture screws. Unit has plenty of compression but will check with gage today. Piston and rings still cherry as seen thru the intake port. If i can figure out why the sumbitch wont start i will revise my rating but there is another reviewer had same exact problem but do not know what his resolution was. Epilogue: Proyama customer service (very polite and sincere) have offered to refund me money OR send me a refurbed/second hand unit. Yes , fool that I am , I accepted their offer of the second hand unit. I cant resist...this damn thing should run..it DID run fine the first tank of gas! I am going to fix it or die trying. Maybe I end up with two piles of junk and a bruised ego or maybe I end up with at least one serviceable unit plus a pile of spare parts. Meantime I am still looking for my little doggie. The grass has now grown so tall I cant even see the tip of her tail above the grass...I know she is out there somewhere...... I will bump to 5 stars if this second unit actually runs. I bump to 3 stars for now because these guys really seem to be genuinely trying to help me. Also now that I have had this unit broken down I can say the construction is good and does not see to be full of cheap shortcuts. Piston has two rings. Overall Machining is good /clean. I think it will give good service if I can get it to run. EPILOGUE: Proyama offered to send me at no charge a good refurbished unit. I accepted of course. It looks brand new but the locking knob for shaft extension is damaged , probably from shipping. But otherwise this unit has never been used! I gassed it up and it started right up with only a half of a pull. I have stopped and started it 10-12 times , all easy single pull starts. I took the carb off of this unit and put it on my original unit--same deal--firs but wont kick off and run. Now very puzzled. So I set the original carb up just like the replacement unit's carb and will re-install and try again. I also intend to pressure/vacuum check the crankcase to see if maybe the crank seals(s) failed. At first pass it still behaves as if not getting enough gas...... Also when I put the replacement unit's carb back on the replacement unit it again started and ran nicely! I am bumping to 5 stars as I think the unit is well made and PROYAMA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EXCELLENT. I will update the review as I dig deeper into the original unit's issue.

Everything worked as it said it would. Started right up on 3rd pull following the start up procedure in the manual. Runs and operates like any other 2 stroke yard tool. It is a heavier trimmer but I had expected that for the engine size. The harness takes a little adjusting but works well once you get it sorted out. I’ve ran 1.5 tanks of fuel so far with the string head and it works great. Upgrading to a higher quality string is probably a good suggestion. Cuts well but seems a little brittle and jammed a couple times. Reloading is simple and same as most other string heads. I haven’t tried the blade heads yet but it has plenty of power to run them I’m sure. So far it seems to be fairly well built and worth the money comparing it to the same size, name brand options. The manual has all the parts numbers listed and contact for the company so I’m hoping replacements parts are available to fix if things break but I think it should hold its own against the big brands. For just a home owner who familliar with gas powered equipment and just needs something to maintain or help clear your property, it’s a great budget option without sacrificing power to get bigger jobs done. Spending less than half of what I would on a name brand option of the same size gave me more of a budget for other tools I needed.

I recently purchased their 4-cycle gas powered mower and was pleasantly surprised by the high performance, easy of operation, quality of construction and price. I decided to buy their weed/wacker as I started to cut my own lawn between my twice monthly commercial lawn maintenance. I received the package fairly quickly just like the mover. When I opened the box, to my surprise and in my opinion, this is a commercial grade, heavy duty weed/wacker. I later noticed the description as EXTREME DUTY. They are not kidding. It is over-kill and built to take on much larger jobs than that of a 1/4 acre home in So. Florida. It is heavy and you must wear the full harness supplied. After I set it up, I went to the home improvement store to buy 2-cycle oil for the fuel. I noticed the inventory of weed eaters, everything from the battery operated models to the gas powered versions. They all looked like toys compared to the one I just bought. Yes, they were light weight but the difference in built was like comparing a gas powered scooter to a Harley Davidson Road King motorcycle. Surprisingly, the engine is made by Huasheng, which is a high quality motor I have used in the past for other applications. The only time consuming part of putting together the unit which was 99% already factory assembled was figuring out how to put on the harness and adjusting the handles on the unit to balance the machine so that it was neutral balance if you took your hands off of the unit while it was still hanging from the harness. Apart from that, it was easy to set up. To sum it up, I highly recommend this unit if you have a commercial lawn maintenance business or you have a 1-acre or larger home. For my application, it is more than I expected but at least I know the light application I will be giving this twice a month during the summer grow season in So. Florida should allow this unit to last me a life-time. This is not for women or men that lack muscle. The low price they charge fools you in to thinking you are receiving a light weight application model. I give this unit a 5-Star for price and quality.

Easy to assemble starts easily I am 6ft tall and found I couldn't adjust it enough so I have to use it bent over a longer shaft would have been nice used it for 1 hour had no issues my only concern is parts availability and reliability but for the price hard to go wrong

Directions are comically bad, basically useless so if you’re not good at these kinds of assemblies you may have problems. The machine started right up and ran great. I ran it pretty hard and cleared about 1/4 acre of overgrown grass. I then attached the circular saw blade and had no issue cutting through thin small plants and trees. Not sure what would use it for but the three blade attachment is sharpened on the wrong side. Overall, the machine works great and does what I needed it for, for a great price. They just need to put some mild effort into directions
