About time someone did a no-nonsense video that was clear, concise and to the point. The video was easy to follow with sharp images and graphics. It covered all pertinent aspects and in an expedited manner. There was no obvious or hidden agenda to sell or advertise. Others who provide videos could take a lesson from your structured presentation. My compliments!

I’m so grateful for your kind comment and happy you enjoyed the vid!

@myopinion3496 4 месяца назад

What I don't understand is why mine ran great one day, then three or fours days later when I went to use it, it had this problem. No warning. Nothing. No graduall loss of power or any indication that there was a problem.

@ragtie6177 2 месяца назад

I agree. This video is exactly what your comment on it reflects. Well said.

@benotto7827 Год назад

Great video. Straight to the point without telling the life story of the weed eater. Simple, well described instructions on exactly how to adjust the carb in under 5 minutes. With great help like this, I'm another one that spent 5 minutes adjusting and got the weed eater running like new again. Thank you so much!!

I had a Weedeater hedge trimmer and a Homelite blower that I was ready to replace. Both having barely run for a couple of years. I happened across your RU-vid and watched it twice. I ordered the kit and it was on my porch when I got up the next morning (thank you Amazon). Five minutes at most and they are both running like new. I couldn't believe it. You stopped the aggravation and saved me lots of money. You're the man. Thank you so much.

Thanks for the video. Im lucky. Replaced the carb, fuel lines, filter, plug. Use the Husqvarna 95 octane canned fuel. Everything works perfect. I was mixing my own fuel using 89 octane. Not such a good idea. Now I run the trimmer dry before winter. This trimmer is a great machine. If it wasn't I would have purchased an EGO.

Wow, tgank you gor this video. I had hyst purchased this last summer, didnt have it for one month and the pull card stuck. I did fix that by tsking the pulley apart and lubing and turning the axle and put in fresh husqvana gas mix in, perfect. Then the idle kept cutting off when i put to choke off, even after tight the top screw. I will adhust the lower one next, didnt try that. First thing in the morning vefore my edging the lawn project start. This was very helpful and informative. Everyone else video just talk about it. Show me the parts are and i understand and that is just what you did, gave the specifics hands on. 5 stars

On Husqvarna it says you can't buy the tool to adjust the carburetor from them something about the EPA or government regulations have to carry it to a dealer. Just another way to try and get more money from us. Will be ordering one of those tool sets you showed. Thanks for the video and that info.

Turn the idle screw "counter" clockwise to slow the head down. Turning it clockwise speeds it up.

@SAR74to78 Год назад

What if your adjustment screws are way off. Is there a starting point? As in turn the (L) screw clockwise until it stops then start adjusting 1/8 turn counterclockwise and for the (R) screw (rich/lean?) Turn all the way clockwise until it stops then adjust until?what. Also what you called the idle screw, that simply adjust the choke limit, correct? I have a 2004 model of the one in your video. I know very little of engines and motors, especially carburetors and have watched many videos trying to DIY the problem. All of them, except yours were missing important information. Yours was the most complete. I look forward to your answers. Cheers Jonathan Storlie I also tried the manual online and the manufacturer's website, those both were a waste of time. Just a side note.

It really is a game of feel. It also may be the carb needs cleaning. I’ll likely clean mine this year and film it for you all 👍

@joannehall5335 Год назад

As stated, below, great job! So much so could you post how to change the fuel lines on the 128LD (or others). I struggle to change these and they seem to leak or come apart after I do. Thanks, JoAnne

@LKNDIY Год назад

When I change mine I will surely document it 👍🏼

@marfinhead 9 месяцев назад

When you do get those lines changed try to remember to add stabil-marine to your mixed gas or use premixed gas (the stuff you find on the shelf) the ethanol in gas damages the fuel line rapidly. The stabil-marine or similar additives has an ingredient that protects the hoses and rubber parts

Are all fuel filters in the gas tanks on huskys? Have a replacement in a tune up kit. I guess it's best to do when empty.

Yes, at the end of the fuel intake line in the tank. I probably need to change mine too 👍

@michaelmiller7162 6 месяцев назад

If i adjusted all three and it doesn’t seem to wanna stay running to adjust where do i start to get all three back in normal running adjustment

@LKNDIY 6 месяцев назад

Trial and error is the only way unless you remember the positions before you started. Patience is key. If the adjustments aren’t working then it is likely your spark suppressor is clogged, or you may need to clean your carb. Hope this helps. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PIk5xe63jmE.htmlsi=DOlgXt2a4inImtpi @blackholediy has a lot of great content regarding small motors too.

Thanks for this video, it helped me get my weedeater running again, and fine tune it as well. The only issue is that the head is still spinning, and tightening the screw only seemed to make it go faster. Any advice on that?

@LKNDIY 2 года назад

Hi Dirk, I would try backing it out to slow the head down. Unsure why it would speed up going that direction. Sounds like the screw may not be cutting fuel while tightening which means there is a deeper issue.
