    Weedeater featherlite blower
    I bought a featherlite blower this summer. My second use the pull cord was slow to recoil (I'd have to tug on the cord to make it recoil). Today It won't recoil at all 11/30/09. I had to remove the bottom of the fan and wind it by hand.How can this be fixed at no expense to me.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ric

    Hi,
    Generally this situation is caused by corrosion caused by humidity. A decent light-weight lubricant would be in order.
    Peace,
