    FeatherLite XT260
    My weedeater starts fine, but the minute I touch a weed it dies! Like there's not enough RPM's ? Is there a way I can REV it up some?

    Does the engine run at a high rpm without being in contact with a weed?

    Could be just the carb needing adjusted. Or could be that the throttle cable is hanging.
