Have a craftsmen weed Wacker and leaf blower that stopped working after a couple years of no use. I am quite sure this is due to ethanol damage because this was the case with my lawnmower with i sent to the hardware store for repair. It's not worth it for me to send these tools out for repair. Can diy tell me what I have to do too get these guys working again?

Rebuild and clean out the carb. If it ran well before being put up it is unlikely anything other than being gummed up is what the problem is.

Is this another one of those 26cc homelite china whackers?

Mine packed up after storage from carbon seizing the piston rings. The needle settings on the carburetor for these things are set wrong on purpose to meet emissions standards or something. You have to take out the spark plug and fill the cylinder with a solvent like paint thinner and leave it for a few days. You also need to check and make sure the paint thinner doesn't just leak past the stuck piston ring. Drain it out after a couple of days and make sure you drain the crank case too. Clean out the carb, put it all back together and readjust the needles.

Or he can just pull the chord and if it is not seized then he doesn't do half that shit.

Stuck piston rings doesn't mean a seized piston, it means the opposite. There will be low compression and the motor will turn over very easily.

Easiest way to check is to turn the motor over while the plug is in and out, there should be a significant difference in pulling difficulty.
