Sorry, Mark. I'm as big a fan of Our Lady of Internal Combustion as anyone,
but if electric meets your needs better, I'd say go for it.
My experience was that the electric trimmer just didn't have what it takes to
slash through weeds too thick to walk through (or even see over), so I rebuilt
the carb on my old Homelite without a rebuild kit (gaskets cut from
construction paper, etc.). But if it had done the job (and I didn't have to
drag a cord up a nearly vertical hill), I would have kept using the little
electric. It was still handy for trimming around the flower beds and so on.
