Weedeater Gas Blower Questions & Answers
Won stay running
Check carburetor & air filter. Clean off all dirt
and clean air filter. check age of gas. Cannot be more than 30 days old. Make
sure to use fresh gas w/synthetic 2-cycle oil @ 40:1 ratio (1 gal.) Gas to 3.2
oz. Oil). Do not use old or stale oil/gas mixture. Before putting in
fresh fuel, press the primer several times. A small amount of gas might show up
in the fuel tank. Remove fuel. With carburetor cleaner, spray carburetor.
Put in small amount of fresh fuel. Just enough to cover the fuel filter. Then
press primer with fuel cap off, and watch to see if fuel is flowing smoothly.
If not or if plastic primer bubble does not come back to original shape after
pressing, then you have to take carburetor apart and clean or get new
carburetor.
Gas lines crumbled and don't know how to route new
The small diameter line out of fuel tank (has filter in-tank on end) connects directly to the side of the carburetor that has the fuel pump....that is the cover without the hole in it. Other larger diameter fuel line out of tank connects to the longer nipple on the external purge/primer bulb. The bulb "pulls" fresh fuel from the fuel tank to the carb and then out of the carb to itself, where it then "pushes" any air/old fuel back into the fuel tank. The remaining larger diameter fuel line in this setup goes from the metering chamber (has cover with writing on it and a vent-hole) side of the carburetor to the smaller nipple on the purge/primer bulb. Again, on the primer bulb, the longer nipple has a line going directly from it to the tank. This is the return line. The shorter nipple on the bub has a line from it going to the metering chamber side of the carb. If the purge/primer bulb is on top of the carb...small line from carb body to small hole in tank with filter. Larger diameter line goes from the bulb on the fuel pump side of the carb to the larger hole in the fuel tank where sometimes the line is held in place with a nylon nipple connector that keeps the line from pulling out of the tank. Otherwise, the line should enter the tank for about 1/2" or so.
Gas does not seem to be getting to the carburetor
Check the fuel lines going to the carburetor from the tank to make sure none of lines have decomposed or gotten soft also check the fuel filter inside the tank to make sure gas can get through...if the lines or filter are bad... replace them...bulk fuel line and filters available at any mower shop or mower parts house....a fairly easy job !!! hope this helps... ;-D
Black& Decker grasshog electric weedeater GH600.. 2007.Need advise removing the guard. No screw, but 3 springy tabs. I don't have 3 hands to move them at the same time
Removing the guard on your Black & Decker Grasshog electric weedeater GH600 can be tricky without three hands, but here's a method you can try:
1. Use a flathead screwdriver or a similar tool to depress one of the springy tabs while holding it down.
2. While holding the first tab down, use a second tool (another flathead screwdriver, a pair of pliers, etc.) to depress a second tab.
3. Once you have two tabs depressed, you should be able to use your free hand to push or pull the guard away from the trimmer.
4. If needed, use the same method to depress the third tab and completely remove the guard.
Alternatively, you might ask someone to assist you by holding down the tabs while you remove the guard. If you're still having trouble, refer to the user manual or contact Black & Decker customer support for further assistance.
My Hart 40V Electric weedeater won't start up with either charged battery
The first thing to check is the connections between the battery and your weedeater. Make sure that all connections are secure and there isn't any corrosion or dirt build up on the contacts. Additionally, you may want to try cleaning out the spark plug and checking for obstructions in the fuel tank or line. If these checks don't lead to a resolution, it may be worth contacting a service tech to further diagnose the issue.
Why is spark plug smell like it is burning
There can be a few reasons.
1. The seal on the spark plug is not sealing properly and the oil from the two stroke oil is leaking out and burning. If it is leaking from the centre of the plug, the ceramic core is broken. They are cheap enough to buy and easy to repair.
2. The cylinder head gasket is leaking a bit and burning oil off.
Make sure any filters on the fan(?) or the air filter are clean as it sounds like it might be overheating as well.
full make and model in all questions please.
