Hello,
After reading lots of good reviews on the speed feed head I decided to buy one..Being a cheapskate I went to ebay and bought a china knockoff of a speed feed 400.
The problem I'm having is as soon as I first installed the head and fired up the trimmer it sucked the preinstalled .095 line inside. Thinking that maybe the spool was on backwards I took the lid off and made sure the letter L was facing out (closest to the ground).
My setup is a 31cc Craftsman straight shaft trimmer (rotates counter clockwise when running) with the speed feed 400 (copy) head. The spool is installed with ther letter L facing out, and with the bump lid facing my chest the line is wound on in a clockwise rotation (only way it will spin).
Am I doing something wrong or is it a classic case of sometimes you get what you pay for?
thanks
