What to do if the Trimmer string cannot be pulled ahead on my Texas GTX 260?

  If your Texas Trimmer string cannot be pulled ahead, it might be due to several reasons. The string may have melted together, possibly from cutting too close to rocks and walls – in this case, replace the string. Another reason could be that there's not enough string on the spool, so install more string. The string might also be worn short, in which case you should pull the string out while alternatingly pushing and releasing the string housing. Also, the string may have become twisted or tangled on the spool, so take the string off the spool and wind it back on. Finally, the engine RPM might be too low, so advance the string at full throttle.

  If grass gets wrapped around the drive shaft housing and string housing of your Texas Trimmer, it's likely because you are cutting tall grass at ground level, so cut tall grass from the top down. Also, ensure that the trimmer is being used at full throttle.

  If oil is dripping from the exhaust of your Texas Trimmer, make sure you are using the trimmer at full throttle. Also, check the fuel mixing ratio and use new fuel with the correct 2 stroke mixture. A dirty air filter can also cause this, so clean or replace it.

  If the spool canister on your Texas Trimmer is difficult to turn, the threads may be dirty, damaged, or full of grass. Clean the threads and grease them, and clean out any grass. If that's not enough, replace the spool with a new one.
