Please help!! -- deb741 Easy to fix. Buy something that does not have Homelite on it and it will run better. They are cheaply made and wear out rather quickly. |

I had to try to 2 button then it starts not on 1 button it would not start. Okay now i hear a loud crackling sound coming from the blue smoke. It still gives out blue smoke. but still hearing that loud crackling sound.

Such smoke would normally indicate a problem with the liquids being
dispensed by the carb. Clue: lots of lube. Depending on which disposable Homelite engine it is, maybe one of the bolts attaching the "jug" to the crankcase suffered brittle failure. If no local service available, suggest replace it with something durable. E.g. Echo, Stihl, anything but cheap s**t. You should have no problem finding product evaluations, like from Consumer Reports, or knowledgeable neighbor. HTH, J |
