I bought a new Shindaiwa T270 line trimmer because I needed some extra power to clear a vacant lot, got the job done and then the machine sat untouched for a few months... I kept meaning to fire it up and run out the fuel, or at least use it every couple of weeks but that never happened... I know, shame on me...
Now it won't start up, no fuel flowing through the primer bulb. I thought of just changing to a new fuel line and fuel filter - that's what the troubleshooting section of the manual says, but the shop seems to think the whole fuel system might need to be flushed.
What do you reckon? I am guessing this is not an uncommon thing to happen when spare machines get forgotten about... I didn't go ahead and buy a new fuel line & filter in case it would just be a waste.
Cheers for any tips.
