PROYAMA42.7cc Gas Weed Wacker, 3 in 1 Weed Eater Gas Powered, Brush Cutter and Gas String Trimmer 2-Cycle Extreme Duty, 5 Year Warranty Gearbox, Grass Trimmer 2025 Upgraded…

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 joyisolated ignition from switch- no joypulled 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 weakPulled 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.

This is an awesome product. Make no mistake, this is a very large weed eater, but with the included shoulder harness, the weight is very manageable.Assembly was very self explanatory, which is a good thing, being that the instructions were mildly helpful. (My instructions show a smaller Proyama weed eater in its diagrams)I put a can of 50:1 pre mix in the tank, primed it, pulled the cord 4 times and it started right up. It runs very smoothly. Throttle is responsive. No shaking or vibrations.I had planned on just “trying it out” on some grass around the shed at first, and ended up spending several hours, using the string trimmer, then switched to the star blade, then the saw blade. All worked fantastic!I mixed my second tank of fuel, once I figured out how the included mixing bottle is to be used (nothing mentioned in the instructions regarding this bottle) and it fired up and ran perfect.As I mentioned, I spent hours using it, and went through an entire tank of fuel. I’m 61 years old and was able to manage it quite easily.5 stars on the product!! The only issue I had was the instructions, they could be better.I had fun using this Proyama, and honestly, who has fun weedeating?Money well spent!!

Worked well right out of the box... But not on the second use.Yes, it's hard to put together and the instructions are pretty slim, but it's simple enough if you carefully study the provided videos along with the instructions. However, after the first day of use, the unit would start but die after giving it the throttle, even if gently. No matter the choke position, no matter the unit position. I changed the oil, after one use it was quite silvery, but okay, still nothing. Changed the week old gas for fresh gas and still nothing.I'm not a mechanic, are you supposed to be one to use this thing?

I'm not gonna lie this is a pretty solid trimmer/brush cutter.. the price is excellent and the power is great. Normally these cheap cutters come with absolutely horrible shoulder harness. Thid one that came with this one is substantially better. Id recommend this to other people. Power+price= happy customer. Just a warning be careful when handling the blade that has chainsaw teeth. It's a full chisel cutter and it's sharp as hell. My 1 and only problem with it is that, for 4 months I hesitated on buying it. . I'm actually looking at buying another one of their trimmers.
