Question posted by Dblume12 on May 5th, 2010

Why Won't My Trimmer Stay Running?

my trimmer will start and run fine for 3-5 minutes. Then it dies and is impossible to start. If I wait 15 minutes, I can start it again and it will run for 3-5 minutes before dying again. Plug is new, the gas is not in vacumn. I think its the coil. Your thoughts? Can I buy the coil through sears?
