First two times it started easily. Now I go to run it for it's monthly 20 minute run and I cannot get it started at all?

watch the type of gas you use I've had no problem with mine I get my fuel from the marina because of no alcohol in the fuel it will gum up the carb

Had the exact same thing happen. It was still under the 1 year warenty so we took it to a repair shop. Bad carburetor. Now it starts normal again.

I think you have Quick Start Mode on. Set it to off and this will not happened again.

I never tried to run it long enough for it to stop. I had it on a timer that would cycle 10-15 seconds every minute or so. I was just laying down a ground cover of fog...

No but beware it is hard to start. I have two of them and both have the same problems.

I actually have the same issue. I have to power cycle it twice a month at least. I had a previous model (not the AC model) that worked for over a year without a power cycle.I was thinking of making use of the ability to schedule a reboot weekly...but I don't think it should be happening this often.

mine did that not to worry. go to the manual call the number and ask the nice lady. she will get u up and running.

I don't even try to start mine now. When it does run it is worse than my electric, always has been. This is a real POS, had had other Weed Eater products, but this one now makes me wary. Caveat Emptor.

There is a setting for auto start. I don't use that option, so can't speak to how well it works. I use the manual start/stop option.

Return it. Mine has been going for over a month strong. Haven't even used the 2nd one yet

It is very easy. Plug it in, push the button on the right and pull up lever and should start right away.

I have the same issue w/ my 305....not sure what is going on but I think I will break down and buy a new one since I need it to be reliable for marathon training.

It certainly sound defective to me. Mine would not start after a little over a month, and it sounds like the shut-off mechanism in yours is faulty. I'd send it back right away if it were me.

My unit ran nicely for 4 hours out of the box. After that, it wouldn't restart no matter what. I hope this helps.

I have never been able to get it going and/or find the time to call for support AGAIN! Sorry I can't help you...good luck

Invest in a new one. That seems to be an issue with this timer. It's a great timer though and worth the investment.

It starts, stops and can skip tracks. Mine shorted on me from sweat though in two runs.
