If you are still having problems I would check or replace white grommet inserted into cylinder and connected to manifold,they have issues with breaking or blowing out.This model also has problems with the black intake boot not sealing around cylinder and manifold,an easy check by spraying a LITTLE carb cleaner around problem area.

Preset both needles about 1-1/2 to 2 turns CCW from CW stop. Set H needle first after warm-up. At high speed, engine should 4-stroke with no load, but smooth out with light load(cutting wood). Set idle speed so that it will keep running, then adjust L needle so that engine tries to follow the throttle, but idles fairly smoothly. Readjust idle speed so that the clutch is not trying to drive the chain.

Husqvarna 235r brush cutter intermittent

Did you have the problem before replacing the filter and lines? You may have a fuel blockage inside the tank. Make sure you have a good gas flow to the carb. Dirt or other material may be in the causing the carb float to let too much fuel in. A bad air filter will cause the carb to run rich. Possible a bad spark plug or the spark is weak to the plug.

My husqvarna 125b blower wont start

I'm sorry to hear that your Husqvarna 125B blower isn't starting. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the fuel level in the tank. If the tank is empty, fill it with the correct fuel mixture (50:1 ratio of gasoline to oil). If the fuel is stale (more than 30 days old), drain the tank and refill it with fresh fuel.
  2. Check the spark plug. Make sure the spark plug is clean and properly gapped. If the spark plug is dirty or damaged, replace it.
  3. Check the air filter. A dirty air filter can restrict the flow of air, causing the engine to run poorly or not start at all. Clean or replace the air filter as needed.
  4. Check the carburetor. If the carburetor is dirty or clogged, it can prevent the engine from starting. Clean the carburetor or have a professional service it.
  5. Check the ignition system. If the ignition system is not functioning properly, the engine may not start. Check the ignition coil, ignition switch, and any other related components to make sure they are working correctly.
If you have tried these steps and the engine still won't start, it may be necessary to take the blower to a professional for further diagnosis and repair.

1984 Chrysler new Yorker 2.6l wont start. Replaced the fuel filter, new spark plugs and wires, new fuel shut off switch, new relay delay fuse, and a new ignition coil, oh yeah and a new starter. Ever hear...

Here's a quote from amy Chilton's manual for 1980-1987.

"Several types of fuel filters are used. One is located in the fuel tank of all the vehicles and is part of the fuel guage assembly. Second is a sealed paper element, in-line unit; mechanical system- located on the engine (above the fuel pump) or electrical system- located in front of the fuel tank. Third is a paper element, in-line fuel filter/vapor separator, housed in a fuel resevoir. Normally, the in-tank filter does not require changing. If it does, the fuel tank must be removed. "
This thing you describe sounds like the typical Chrysler in-line filter of its day. It is nothing more than the same generic in-line plastic see-thru filter you buy for your lawn mower except in the 70's and 80's it was covered in metal and had a Chrysler part number. A lot of guys added an extra filter in those days, it wasn't the best system. I would remove the outlet line and turn the fuel pump on, see if you get fuel. Replace if needed.

Husqvarna 51 died and wont restart

hi
if you have a good compression,a strong enough blue spark and carburetion for the fuel air mixture try priming the engine(put small amount of gas in the spark plug hole)then start the engine.If the engine runs only the gas you put inside the cilinder there is a carburetion problem to find and fix.
let me know regards savumihai71

Husqvarna 55 Chainsaw (1999) - Runs OK for 1 minute then stalls

I think your on the right track
Blowing compressed air through your tank vent
is great but it is way more air than the natural asperation
that the saw pulls on it own
I would replace the vent cap and also look for a pinched fuel line between the fuel tank and the carb

Husqvarna 324LDx 4 cycle string trimmer. Have

Probably needs a carb kit, check main jet and main fuel inlet jet, is the spark crisp, fat and powerful, try running it with a borrowed coil as this may have an intermittent fault. Is fuel cap breather working or blocked, these small carbs are very sensitive. Make sure all is well with gaskets and diagrahms. Good luck the Yeti
