Thanks, took mine out. Runs like a champ.

What if the blower already cut the screen but no much power, I took mine to a shop and they changed the carburetor but it still working around 70%

Hey man would you sell this ?

Lamprey or baby eels are likely suspects. I remember eel babies in small streams like this. Coming up from the Hudson River in NY state. They spawn in the sea, then babies go up into fresh water.

Hey thanks! Easy to follow with side hacks to keep you straight

THANK YOU! I recently started renting from a house that provided this exact model lawn mower for me to use. It was caked in gunk and mud, and it barely ran. It would struggle to start and wouldn't stay running more than a couple minutes at best, until it got to the point it wouldn't start anymore. I suspected it was the carb is clogged and so I watched this video to see how hard it would be to clean it rather than take it to a shop or buy a new one. I followed your video precisely and now the lawn mower runs like brand new. You saved me a bunch of money and I am super thankful for this video.

Thank you buddy, just discovered this problem tonight, glad it’s now before the Fall!

I have this exact one. Wouldn’t stay running. I replaced fuel lines and primer bulb because of dry rot. And then took the carb and cleaned it out. Starts first try. It’s not as powerful or as large as my commercial husqvarna 525lst but I still have a use for a small one like this

Dude, you’re a genius. I looked at this video cause I like man I don’t have a special tool and you said a bolt. I turned around and grabbed one random bolt and turned around and it fit better than a tool would.

question ..attempting to put in toggle wich wires where same model ignition

What kind of gas mix do I use on this please

The fact but you need to see "how to get the clip on" you don't show........ WHY!

Fixed before the end of your video! THANK YOU!!!

wicked vid mate, helped me fix my 86c a treat 👍🏻

Good luck starting it when it's warm 😢

I'll stick with Briggs and Stratton yes sir if I'm on a snowmobile it's 2 stroke and if I'm on a dirt bike 2 stroke if in my doat it's 2 stroke them lawnboys suck

Thanks

Dad's out-working you 2:1 :) he's bucking and tossing, you just messing with your saw. Thats a pretty good day out in the woods :) My dad can't work like that anymore, just glad to be able to hang out and b.s. with him.

Do you have a fix for a loose throttle cable for the feather lite?

Great video, I use it almost every year to clean my carburetor.

I just bought a new carb. Came with air filter fuel filter fueling Owings for less than $20.

Thank you!!! This is exactly the info/how-to I needed. I got the shaft cover off and was utterly stumped. 😊

How does the lift handle a well stacked bed of logs?

The rewind spring is the lower spring like another commenter that has spun out on mine. Without the case it comes in when you buy it how do you fit that. And in the case you buy a new one in it's still hard to put in. how to fit it if you have a new rewind spring in a retainot case. drop it down in place where you can see the spring through the holes in thecase around the edges. push the spring down into place ' good luck. rewind it into the case and try again. be patient. I'm looking for my rewind spring case- will I find it! @no-way=Jose

I hate those springs, I'm on my tenth one now, and the blower is maybe two years old. I almost traded it for a twelve pack, but the guy only had ten.

cleanest XL i have ever seen

Thank you soo much for your help

So glad I found this :) Great video, followed your instructions and it started right up!

What the heck is a homa lite saw? its home lite.. Now we have gay chainsaws..

did you ever think about the saw wrench having paint on it and not letting spark come through it??

15:03 I cleaned the carburetor and same thing happened to me. It starts but then shuts off. Help

Great video!

I have one but I don't know where to buy the fuel lines

You can clean the arrestor by cooking it with a propane torch. Then scrub off the ash with a small brush. comes out like brand new

Just wanted to say thanks for the video! Got to work this morning and digger was flat we a pancake... wasn't sure what to do. Took a minute and thought surely someone on RU-vid has had this situation, and surely enough here you are. Thanks again for getting me out of the shit. Awesome video

I bought a new red XL12 new 1975. Started it saw until oil and gas fill up, then it wouldn't start hot. Took it to the dealer and he replaced the coil ran for a couple weeks no problems then it done the same thing, took it back said coil went bad, ran for about 1month same thing. So I quit using it and went back to my c51 homelite that I bought used from my uncle, ran that old saw until 1977 traded the XL12 and C51 for a stihl 041 farm boss, wow best saw I ever had never no problems ran it for 30+ years...

Mines a John Deere f525 3 wheel zero turn

Mine still won't start with touching that piece but it turns over

Omg your bolt trick is fucking genius

I have the same machine.that SOB has never run right even when it was brand new.Right from day one it was tempermental.hard to start won’t idle continually restarting.Even the mechanics couldn’t get it right.I’ve been fixing and repairing all kinds of small equipment for over fifty years and I couldn’t keep this MF running.right now it might have 8 hours of use in two years.what brand of carb is it.I’m thinking Zama?Chinese knockoff no good in my books.

You’re the man dude. Thank you!

the forks on mine are too tight to get the wheel, spacer, and speed sensor off from inside the forks on the axel bolt. Do I need to loosen the forks to get the wheel loose?

I just bought a new one. Yours looks so old and used compared to mine. My god

very clear and very helpful. I like the presenter's careful style

Love how informative you were but the kid made this the best.

What bike stand do you have to hold it still?

Thanks for the video. I needed that because I having to replace my fuel line. How long should the fuel line be please? Thanks in advance.

Can you drive it without the drive shaft ?

Really helpful 👌

Thanks dude, this helped a bunch. The fact that the spring went FWANG on me 3 times, didn't help. But I got it back together. Thanks for the vid!
