I bought a Weedeater FeatherLite 20CC gas grass trimmer a week ago.
This weekend I used it for the 1st time. First, I had problems with it.
It ran for a few minutes, then just stopped. I had to restart it by
switching it to choke, again ran for a couple of minutes, then stopped.
I had to do this several times until I almost completed my trimming.
Then, it began to smoke from the bottom where the trimmer line snaps in
place, and vibrated violently. I shut it off immediately.
Now I am trying to call their cust support line to ask them what to do
about this. I just want to return this and buy another make.

Anyone go thru this before with Weedeater?
Any other brand I should consider? 
Thanks
