How to Diagnose & Repair a Weed Trimmer that Won't Start or Run. This weed eater trimmer came in and the owner wasn't sure what was wrong with it but said it would not start or run.
In this video I will walk you through the process I took to diagnose and fix the problem it had. In the end it had a fuel problem because the fuel lines were rotten and leaking and fuel was not getting to the carburetor. You will see how to install new fuel lines, a new fuel filter and adjusting the carburetor so this string trimmer will run at peak performance.

Overall good troubleshooting. However, with all the bad fuel lines, I would have also replaced the purge bulb. That will be the next likely fuel item to need replacing. Cheap and easy to get to.

Use only ethanol free gas on any engine with a carburetor. First the alcohol with draw moisture into the fuel and second alcohol attacks all the plastic and rubber parts. I have a husky 128ld 16 years now with original carb and fuel lines. In fact the cylinder and piston are wore out, going to replace them and keep on keeping on.

@qxpxv Год назад

if there's a dip stick somewhere on your engine do not use oil in your gas because its a 4 stroke

@LaurencinStBrice Год назад

Its 2 stroke not 4

Husqvarna Bush Wacker... I have a heavy duty Husqvama Bush Wacker and I'll NEVER purchase anything made by Husqvama again!!! It was difficult to start from day one. I've had it for about 4 yrs. now and have already had to replace the carburetor (the 3rd yr.). Now, less than a yr. later, it won't stay running unless I have the choke on halfway. I don't even like the way that the design of the Bush Wacker's body, because if you set it down to refill the fuel tank, due to the base design, it falls over to the side. My first heavy duty Bush Wacker was purchased from SEARS. It Was made in China, but it lasted over 25 yrs. Now I feel like taking this Expensive piece of Crap and running over it with my 1 ton truck and sending it to Husqvarna's Head office...!

Working on a neglected trimmer that had stale fuel in it for ages. I've replaced the fuel lines and filter, as well as the carburettor. I've gapped the spark plug and tested it for spark, and I've put fresh fuel in with the correct fuel to oil ratio. The thing will not start. It's practically brand new. I think my dad must have run it on straight petrol and worn out the engine.

@Kristina_tafolla 2 года назад

My son put the wrong mix in the fuel tank for this exact trimmer. Would you recommend cleaning or replacing the tank? It was never ran with incorrect fuel, I caught it before he got a chance.

@helpinguonline 2 года назад

Just drain out the bad fuel from the tank and refill it with the correct mix Of two cycle oil and gas. You are wise not to have run it with the wrong fuel in it… Especially when somebody puts straight gas in a two cycle engine… It will ruin the engine. Keep up the good work!

@micasa6744 Год назад

@@helpinguonline drain it out??? Tip it upside down? Syphon it, how?

@helpinguonline Год назад

if you mean how to get it out of the carburetor... after you removed the fuel from the tank (take the cap off and dump it out) you can press the primer bulb and that will run the old fuel out of the carb and pull in the new fuel that is properly mixed. that little bit won't hurt anything.

How do you know if your machine is flooded and if so how do you fix the problem

@helpinguonline 3 месяца назад

No start… Smell gas… Air filter gets wet with gas… If you take the spark plug out it will be soaked in gas. The way to get it started without doing too much is pull it full throttle with the choke on and it may start otherwise you can pull the spark plug out and dry it and put it back in

I have one like this and it also wouldn't start last year. I am not a fan of this machine. In my opinion it is way too powerful as a weed whacker. If I get it too close to my vinyl siding it will tear the crap out of it. I know people will say, "well, don't let it get close". Sometimes it isn't that easy. So, I just gave up on it and I will get a cheap electric on.

It may be something real simple like a clogged fuel filter, cracked fuel line or it may be a little move involved like a clogged carburetor. To prevent this in the future be sure to always drain all your fuel out of the tank and run your weed trimmer til the gas is out of the carburetor when storing. If your carburetor is clogged you can clean it. Here is a video for you on that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MtggiZf_x-4.html God Bless you and lead you!
