Husqvarna 129L String Trimmer Won't Start-FIXED! 

The contest is over and we have a winner! I ran off for a French Dip at Arbys and when I came back three of you had the right answer an hour previous to this posting. I said that when the piston moves down it draws air into the engine but thats incorrect unless you're working on one of those dirty disgusting four strokes that swim in their own filth. Air is drawn in on the up stroke on a 2 cycle and Ted Neitzel, Alans.4658 and Jamiewykes8585 all corrected me. I don't know who said it first so all three of you get a carb stand. Email me your address and I'll ship you a carb stand. Congratulations for being a 2 stroke genius! scottseidl1@gmail.com

You said manifold, but seriously, I was getting ready to replace the fuel lines on mine. You were the one who had what I needed to see. With that, I say thank you bunches.

"Scott, line 1 please...." sent a shudder down my spine. Great. Nothing like having your job interrupted. It's amazing you can even get things done. And the sound editing is fine, i'm just happy you finally updated us on your Arby's intake. Thought maybe you went vegan...

Your editing is fine. It's really pretty flowing and seamless. I've seen some channels that think they're Spielberg but the actual content is garbage, you're good

Great ‘a-ha’ moment for me when you explained how to adjust the high speed jet without a tach. Great vid.

Great catch! I could see how your muscle memory 1st wiggled the carb and found it loose before just digging into it and finding nothing wrong. I wonder how many people would chase their tail for an hour for not doing that 1st?

I had the same thought as Chris, you said you couldn’t get it to start but it did pop off so technically it started but didn’t run. Awesome video Scott keep up the good work!!

Hmmmmmmmmm 🤔 I like your video neighbor LATER- btw teespring is doing me Hella dirty I didn't forget your t shirt!!

Great find, Scott 👍🏼

You Stated It Didn’t Run But It Did Try Too Fire Up 😐 Nice Find on The Loose Insulator Block I’ve Seen That Many Times on the 125B Blowers

Love your videos. I've seen them all. Jon from Nova scotia Canada

Nice video Scott. Even if there are torque specs, I suspect that you have fixed more of these than the person who wrote the manual. Laaaaaater.

Another great video! I get my azz kicked sometimes when working on OPE, but never see you get a diagnosis wrong. Do you ever run into a real head scratcher?

Another fantastic video Scott, thank you brother.

I liked your explanation of the 4 stoke guys. 🤭🤭 I’m in Canada so I’m out of the contest. 👋

The piston moves upwards to draw air into the cylinder You said it moves down

Great video

Hey Scott, why do you recommend running slightly rich on your high and low?

Was it you calling the intake insulator an intake manifold? The other thing is the you calling the recoil a "spring loaded start switch".

Plugged spark arrestor won't allow fuel to be drawn? I always thought is would cause overheating issues.

You said that the engine pulls fuel when the piston goes down, which is incorrect for a 2 stroke

Got it to “pop off” or start but not run to an idle. Which later you did not test the spark plug because you got it pop off, just not run to an idle.

Great video as always Scott, I learn so much from your content! I am in the fortunate position to have access to Husqvarna service hub for my Husqy/Jonsered repairs. I’ve had a couple of 550/2253 that wont connect to Service Hub for updates. In one case I found the reason; busted wires close to the ignition module. But I’ve had a couple that wont connect and I can’t figure out why. The saws run fine, everything is connected properly, clean and in good working condition. Any ideas? My local shop didn’t have any tips.

I had to switch phones, lost your connection. If you don’t mind please let me know how to contact you. Thanks.

Plugged spark arrester usually gives me a wet cylinder and muffler and sounds funny too.

Gee wizz between the blowers and this, husky could use some lock tight!!!

Husqvarna provides torque specs for that model trimmer

I'm thinking plugged spark screen

Anyone get the answer?

Bad Crank Seals Would Cause a No Fueling Issue 😀

Shop manual

You forgot about compression.

You called it a manifold and its not

Unless you're working on one of those dirty disgusting four strokes that swim in their own filth.
