Strimmers Issue

    Hello,

    My strimmers starts ok and runs for about ten seconds before it cuts out.

    I noticed the fuel lines have cracked from sitting idle and do leak.

    Is this likely causing the running issue? drawing air into carburettor?

    Thanks
    Ger

    Yes that will cause running issues, you need to replace them with yellow tygon fuel lines or ethanol resistant lines of some sort.
