Episode 56 - Fuel Line Replacement Husqvarna 128LD String Trimmer 

I do read and reply to most comments. Thanks for the insight. I actually need to take the carb off this one and clean it this weekend. Idle circuit is plugged up.

Nice! I traded the truck for a 1964 F100, but I have a chance to get my B series back... with upgrades. I'll know more in September.

Excellent! Glad my video could help you.

Thanks! As I state in my channel intro, I'm just a guy fixing things around the house as they break. I figured if I have to do the work, why don't I film it so others and can see how I fixed it?

Indeed, it was quite toasted. I was surprised it lasted as long as it did.

Thank you very much. One of my earlier ones.

Glad you found a method that worked for you. I do remember that was a PITA when I filmed this.

Mmmmm... Sthil. Someday....

@@MazdaB3K Only after learning the hard way…

Fishing small engine fuel lines is probably one of my top 10 of things I don't like to do with engines. I'm glad this video was able to help you out.

Thanks! Idle circuit is acting wonky now. Might make a video about fixing that.

@@MazdaB3K It’s always something.

Thanks for the information. That should help others who find this video and read the comments.

I don't want to try and take the tank off so I should buy a special pair of pliers to get those nipples in?

Do you mean hose pliers or 90 degree pliers? They make life much easier.@@Tom-db7bx

Glad that my video helped. You manage to get your trimmer back up and running?

That is a handy tip. Thanks!

Indeed. Trimmer runs fine since the repair though I need to clean out the carb. I forgot to empty the tank over the winter and I think it gunked up a bit.

@@MazdaB3K if u ever redo it jst run the line from filter straight threw too the carb and then run the line from the vent to the little plastic piece into the hole and it’ll jst vent abck into the tank pull gas out and return gas in but anyways good video

So there is no need for a return hose in the tank? I don't think I saw one in mine to be honest.

@@Swampkiller1Tv So there is no need for that little plastic nipple on the fuel filter side? I saw a lady mechanic do a video on this trimmer and replaced the fuel line and Im pretty sure she pushed it straight in without the nipple for the fuel filter side.

@@Tom-db7bx I think it’s jst for holding the return line in place but I see them on a lot of weedeaters idk if it’s jst a connector or so u dnt have to have a line but I think u need both or not one at all but it must do soemthing

I'm happy to help. Many folks either pay way too much at the small engine shop to do this or give up and buy a new tool. With less than 20 dollars and some patience most of the time you can get this stuff running again.

I think the splicers ho on the inside of the tank.

What is the purpose of that nipple, is it even necessary to go back in there? I think the fuel line is tight enough without the nipple.

If that works that's great. I need to clean this carb so I might make that change when I dive back into it.

Hmm... nah.

You are correct the actual repair goes much faster. I break down the extra steps because my videos and channel on the whole are geared to total novices that haven't really don't mechanical things before. Any time I turn the camera on the repair time generally doubles to triples. Thank you for having the distinction to note this. If I'm moving too slow for you, skip ahead until you find the part you need to make the repair succeed. I do also try to do stuff like this blind, versus doing the repair, breaking the repair then turning the camera on and doing the repair again. If I do something in advance I let you guys know in the video.

I thought it was helpful. Accidentally yanked out my fuel line, most of the short videos where no help. After watching this I got it done in 20 minutes

Indeed I do! I make these videos because as I fix things around the house, it seems other people have the same issues. Never claimed to be a pro.

Indeed I do ramble. This is one of my earlier videos so I would hope I've improved over time.

If by that you mean professionally, not really. Just a guy fixing stuff as it comes up at home.

Mine had the nipple on the inside of the fuel tank. On the outside it will make it harder to get fuel line to carburator.

​@americafirst2785 how do you put a nipple in the center of a sealed, small gas tank? I threw the nipple away completely
