My brother brought his domestic Shindaiwa 22F trimmer to me to see if I could get it running again for him. Just out of warranty and a shop here told him maybe $200 minimum to get it working, without actually telling him what's wrong with it mind you.
These engines are also used in some Shindy hedge trimmers as well I believe. Cheap parts aren't a problem out of the US but trying to work out what I'll need first is an issue. Does anyone know if the ignition module in these was ever a problem? Or anything else to look at? The cylinder/head also has cracked through vibration where one of the screws goes through the corner to button it all together.
