I have a 31cc Snapper Weedeater that is hard to start, and when I do get it running it runs for a few seconds and shuts off. It also has a slight fuel leak. I'm thinking the carburetor needs a rebuild. The starter rope also broke off the other day when I was trying to fix the carb problem. It ran for about 30 seconds when I sprayed carb cleaner into the carb. I also replaced the fuel lines from the tank to the primer bulb to the card, but they are not the source of the leak. I even sealed the fuel line tubes on the bottom of the gas tank with Permatex.
Is it worth fixing? Anyone know where to get a rebuild kit for a weedeater carb and if so is it difficult to rebuild it? And has anyone replaced or reattached the starter rope on a weedeater? I wonder what is involved in fixing this thing or should I just buy a new one. This one is 8 years old and has worked fine until now.
I have not found much Snapper info online, and I appreciate any help here.
