    Hello

    I have a Mount-field 5-In-1 Petrol Multi Tool
    And I am looking for some advise. The motor is running perfectly no problems but when I put on one of the attachments heads, the motor struggles more and more as I depress the switch until it finally cuts out.

    What could be the problem?

    Regards

    JJ

    Clean or replace the spark plug. I had a problem like that with my multi. A new spark plug was the 1st thing I did and it's fine now

    I bought a Strimmer head to replace the tap & feed head. The one where you string a 12"+ length of line thru then go to town, it was so easy. Now I bought a "Universal" head that didn't feed my line on the head or wouldn't close the gap between the base plate and the strimmer head.

    I can't remove the strimmer head from the old weedeater; it's just jammed, totally!
