strimmer with rotating head

[dogman]

I have a small bent shaft partner strimmer, that I can rotate the shaft on, ie turn it 180 degree's so you can edge lawns with it. Are they still available in any make ? as I've been looking but can't find any.

 

Also the one I have keeps cutting out on idle or slow speeds. I changed the spark plug yesterday & it ran fine, went to use it today & the same problem.

 

Regards,

What color was the plug you first took out > If it was black and sooty could be running rich ....

I've been looking for a rotating shaft strimmer/edger too but only seen them in electric versions.

The plug was oily around the tread, put the "business end" was a light grey. I'm thinking its a fuel issue but not sure.

 

Its a great size with the bent shaft fitting nicely across the inside of the van, & the swivel head is a big help, so I'd like another, but can't find any, I was hoping some of the dealers on here could shed some light on this. I took it in to my local dealer, as he'd never seen one, & he was impressed & seemed to think there could be a good market for them.
