why does the trimmer line start feeding on my srm-225 after starting? I'm using a 375 speed head.the more I rev the more line comes out. What's that all about?

Try making sure you didn't loose the spring inside. Take off the bottom cap and check. You also have the spool inside the head upside down, check that if the problem still persist.

I have not yet changed the line on my GH710 but am almost positive it uses 2 pieces of line. I buy precut refills that I wind on the spool myself. I have found the line more that adequete thickness to not only trim along side of house, but even edge around the drive way and sidewalk. You either got a defective line spool or you are not using the trimmer according to directions, be sure you read directions for optimum use. I have had absolutely no problem with it honestly.

Go to the Husqvarna web site (USA) where you can compare the 223R and 323R side-by-side to see what the differences are verse what replies you may be getting. Be sure you select "Brushcutters"; verse "Trimmers"; under the "Products"; heading, otherwise you won't see the above two units listed. Lots of luck with Husqvarna Customer Service, you'll need!! Oh by the way my 323R vibrates, plus it isn't a smooth running machine. It bogs down a lot. It is in the repair for now. Note, NOT Husqvarna's Repair Shop.... Regards

Hi. My trimmer is using string at a very reasonable pace. so, I think there is something wrong with yours or you are doing something I am not. I am using mine for mostly just grass, as opposed to trying to whack down tiny trees, wild plants in a field, etc- maybe they break the string. Also- do not bang the trimmer on the ground as if to get the string to lengthen- the instructions warn against that and it is a challenge for me since my previous trimmers all required me to bang it on the ground to feed the line. Hope this helps.

Picked one up today and it does the same thing. They should at least mention it in the manual. I wasn't sure if it was normal. Apparently it is. Thanks for bringing this up and thanks for your follow up.

I have the same problem with mine.I stop and turn the head up and push the little button on the side of the head to get extra string out.I believe if they would put .080 string on the head instead of .065,it would help.It might not solve the auto-feed problem,but at least the string wouldn't break so often. Sorry,I couldn't help.

Sometimes the line does not feed for me. What I found out is that there is a black button on the feed line housing. Push in on the button while pulling on the trimmer line to advance. It works for me.

I changed my spool for the first time last week. I've had the trimmer for two years. Granted, I have a very small yard, but I never imagined it would last that long. A 3-pack was pretty reasonable at Lowes.

With mine to first start it, turn it to full choak, and to a lower speed and pull once. Keep on lower speed but switch to half choak and pull, and it should start. May need to repeat a couple times.

I've been reloading with cheap refill spools. I don't know if using a single line would throw it off balance. It's automatic feed, and it seems the least disturbance seems to make it spit out a couple of feet of line. I'm definitely going to try C's suggestion to tie knots so it won't feed.

I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with the model 225. I would suggest that you check the thread diameter and pitch on yours and see if it is the same as the replacement you're considering.

My 8585 has the same problem.. after taking it apart, I see there's a little swinging arm that anchors the trimmer to the razor body. It no longer wants to stay anchored to the razor, so the trimmer doesn't stay where it needs to. Good luck!

That's only happened to me once. Pop the spool cap off (squeeze the two sides and pull it) and look at the spool of line. It's possible you have some sort of knot in the line stopping it feeding freely. If so, pull it out and rewind it. I've had very few problems with it, though if you're whacking weeds close to concrete or stone, for instance, it will wear quite fast, requiring stopping every minute or two to feed more line. BTW, you should hear the line feed click just before the head stops turning. The thing is designed for about a 1/4" feed on each stop/start.

I like mine just fine, it does use a lot of line but I have extra spools and buy the line in bulk. It cuts great and is the most powerful electric trimmer/edger I've ever owned. Just a simple twist of the head is all that's needed to go from edger to trimmer.

This would spin way too slow for a string trimmer. The output shaft spins around two times per second if you can visualize that. The motor is about the size of a roll film canister.

It comes with 0.065 line. I have used this trimmer for two months once a week and I still have the same spool of line. I might expect you would have line advance issues if you put a thinker line on it. It works well for light duty cutting and edging. The change from trimming to edging feature is nice. I got the blower too! I bought the extra trimmer spools 8 pack but have not needed them yet.

The last few pages of your manual show you how to do what you wish.If you do not have a manual for the 327LS 24.5cc trimmer, you can find it here:http://www.husqvarna.com/us/support/download-manuals/?query=Husqvarna+327LS+24.5cc&types;=O&brands;=The last few pages show how to wind your own string and what type and size string can be used for your particular cutting head.My trimmer is less than a year old and I actually have not had to replace the string yet.That said, it should not be any harder than any other model
