i work on anything and often times my labor charge varies by what im working on. $100 trimmer or saw and as long as its jsut a carb rebuild and fuel lines i charge $20 labor plus parts. i only use OEM parts so carb kit, fuel line, filter, plug, air filter will run $15-20. total with tax is usually just under $50. It is cheating myself on the labor but I figure its a way to convert customers to Echo or Dolmar since they rarely see one of those in the pile of trimmers to be picked up from service and there are always 10-20 weedeater brand in that pile.

Name brand saws/trimmers  the labor is 1/2hr at normal shop rate.
I have found that around me somewhere between $40 and $50 is the max that most people are willing to put into a cheap trimmer and that 75% of people that bring them in would rather buy a new $79 trimmer every year than spend $160 on one that will last 5 years or more.
