[QUOTE="nomowork, post: 268778, member: 6029"] My GF's son has some trouble with his 2 stroke string trimmer (inherited from his grandfather that passed away). It start right up with the choke on but will not idle or increase speed with choke off. We tried some carb cleaner first but didn't help. We put it aside and was going to take it to the lawn mower shop next week. Just before dinner today, I tried to run it again and noticed that gas was spitting out somewhere on the engine. I opened the gas tank and the two rubber hoses that come out of it just fell off as in they simply just broke off! The rest of the hoses were inside of the gas tank and when I got them out, they crumbled like dry paper! Yup, ethanol is the cure! #-o [/QUOTE]
