more than likely need to get a carb kit for it

Remove the tube that holds the flex-drive shaft from the front of the motor cover.Remove the rear engine cover. Remove the throttle cable from the carburetor. Mark and unplug any wires for the on/off switch that go to the ignition coil (underneath front cover) if possible. Now if you have pulled the driveshaft tube out of the way, the clutch drum is up next. Inside it, screwed into the very end of the engine's crankshaft is a Torx #25 screw. Before you loosen it, you will have to lock up the engine. To do so, remove the spark plug. Pull on the starter until the piston is down, then insert a length of clean, soft rope into the engine. The engine will come up and compress the rope, thus locking it in place to allow clutch drum and clutch removal. Loosen the T-25 (Star bit or Torx head) screw inside the drum.. You may be able to remove it with a long thin-blade screwdriver also.It probably won't come completely out...it is made this way. Next, remove the clutch. It is screwed onto a small threaded section of the crankshaft Removal is counterclockwise.. It will be pretty tight. To help, apply peneterating oil. Whack the ears of the clutch near the center with a hammer and a dull flat-blade chisel or a small piece of wood unless there are bolts. then use a wrench. It will turn counterclockwise for removal and there will probably be a removal direction arrow on it's face. After getting that off, remove the Torx screws holding the cover to the engine. The starter unit should be mounted inside as it mates with the top of the flywheel to start the motor. Remember to preload tension (5-7 turns) on the starter unit. Make sure the handle is installed. Jam the unit with a screwdriver or vise grips so you can insert and tie off the new rope. Then remove jam device and let recoil pull your new rope into place while holding the handle. Reassemble and you are done. Disassembly requires Torx head drivers and a good flat-blade screwdriver. Post back if needed.

You are safe running a 40:1 ratio. 8oz. of oil to 2.5 gallons of fuel.

put on choke prime two or three times and the start

try adjusting the the high low jets or may need a carb kit

if you need parts

try taking a look at web site www.chainsawr.com they will more than likely have what you need

note they can supply secondhand parts in good order at a good price

cheers

A clean and dry business card is just about the perfect thickness for the recommended .006" gap. Rotate the magnet of the flywheel around to the module side. Put the card between the module (coil) and the magnet. Allow the module to tighten against the magnet, then tighten the screws that secure it to the crankcase. Rotate the flywheel to remove the card. Test for contact by rotating the flywheel. Check for any lateral play in the crankshaft bearing by trying to wiggle the flywheel side to side. There should be no play in the bearing.
Good luck!

It sounds like you have a bad primer bulb.or check and make sure fuel line is not rotted off in tank.

It is 50:1. That is 2.6 Ounces 2 stroke oil/ US Gallon or 1.3 ounces of oil / 1/2 US Gallon. I recommend synthetic and adding Stabil brand gas stabilizer to the mix. It helps greatly.

Hi, this sounds like a wiring issue. If there is fuel supplied to the engine and the spark plug is good, you should be able to get it to fire. However if there is no spark due to a broken wire or faulty kill switch you will not receive a spark. Also, if you are certain that all systems are in order, you may have simply flooded the engine and the gas needs to evaporate from the various chambers. If it is flooded, you may also try starting in full throttle to compensate for the extra gas. This sometimes works. Good luck.

I have never heard of a blower that you can control blow rate, there is nothing wrong with your machine!!!

What are you trying to do. There is no actual cold setting that a carb would be set to. Cold running is either by choke or bypass enrichment system.

Set the mixture correctly for normal operating temprature, and leave it alone.

usually about .020

50:1 ratio, and any type of two stroke oil will do

Question edited for clarity and spelling.. Please don't type in all CAPS, it is classed as SHOUTING and harder to read. There is no wiring diagram for it online. It is just a mains lead, a switch and a motor. Parts schematic and a link to the company support. https://www.google.com/search?q=homelite+lawn+mower+ut13124+wiring+diagram ..

The fact that is runs slightly longer on full choke may point still to a fuelling issue.. Does it actually Rev in those 10 seconds or does it just want to bog down and stall.?
