Bolens BL110 Assembly, Start-up and Review (BL160, 25cc) 

I had the hardest time trying to start the BL110. Thanks for helping me figure it out! PS - your right its an excellent deal!

This is the gas 2 cylinder trimmer I’ve been looking into for a little while to buy from Lowes, these gas trimmers have a ton of power, I have a newish HomeLite curved shaft gas model, but I kinda bought it on a whim last summer from Home Depot I’m mid June, so I’ll might replace it with a bolens or troybilt curved shaft 2 cylinder trimmer for better power and performance maybe next summer or the one after that to purchase then.

I just bought one last night at Lowes. Thanks for the showing

i got a craftsman leaf blower with that same motor, had it around 6 months, so far it hasn’t given me any problems, other than it doesn’t like to be revel up when it’s not warm yet especially in the cold

Thank you for streaming!

Thanks for the vid. I just bought one of these and getting used to the start up. This trimmer is powerful and cuts great!

Good stuff! Especially with those replacement part links.

Very cool, I have that same exact weedwacker that I got for free in a junkyard, required a new carburetor but now it runs like a charm and I like that design, it’s not hard to work on

bought the bl160 , its the same as the walmart weed trimmers with the bolen name on it . put it together ,used it and the next day took about 50 pulls to start..lol

Good for you, tools to work with after you work !

I got one of these for $10 and it works great just wanted to see others opinions and problems

Was just outside trying to start the one the landlord left. Hopefully by the time your done I can get it to start.

I can’t get that unscrewable cap to unscrew, help!

bought one today 160 straight 25cc at lowes looking at there return rack 30 bucks never had gas in it no wear etc i strung it up mixed oil gas 1 min fired up np! THEN I REALIZED NO SHAFT COVER PLASTIC PIECE ON BOTTOM? YOU HAVE A EXTRA TY FOOR YOUR VIDS!

Curved weed eaters work best for trimming on hills- when you are going to be in the higher position cutting down to the weeds/grass. If your land/cutting area is flat you’ll want straight shaft weed eater.

What kind of gas does it take ? The 2 cycle gas you buy in can or regular gas ?

I used this last season, bought 2. It start then stop after maybe 2 mins. Bought a Husqvarna recently, its doin the same… im using 50:1 for both. Is that the problem? I was told u can use 50:1 for all trimmers

you could do a video on timer line replacement

Better vid if the camera is not against the light, I could hardly see what is being shown. ✌️

Thank you, helped me at lot

Someone gave me one last year. I cleaned the carb and got it running good but restringing is difficult because the cap center head won't lock to be able to screw it off. When you take the shaft apart, the piece connected to the engine is male and the trimmer head is female. This is the opposite of most craftsman trimmer head shafts I have laying around. I have been looking for new trimmer head shaft but I may just resort to an aftermarket trimmer head to attach to the end. Any other ideas or let me know if you have the same problem?

Really nice “assembly” thanks for the help. Just joking that was literally no help

How to change head

Is it worth it brotha woul u suggest me buying it some one is selling me one for $50

Had one for a while now but unsure what 2 cycle oil to use , any suggestions?

How is yours holding up because Iv had mine for 5 years and it doesn’t run anymore, I hate it

Would you recommend this or the Homelite

I have trouble trimming with the curved head weed eaters

Imagine skipping the assembly

Very hard to start The instructions say to pump the bulb Then pull 5 times on number 3 Then pull 5 times on number 2 Then pull 5 times on number 1 Ok are you kidding me ...pull 15 times to get it started POS.....can you imagine cranking your car 15 times in the morning. SMH

So how is it holding up after 2 months

total POS. wouldn't start, returned it, next one also wouldn't start. never buy a bolens product.
