Most of the newer equipment have EPA carbs that wont allow serious carb adjustment without special tools. The tools are only supposed to be sold to service shops who will make adjustments and then put limiting caps on the adjustment screws. Anyone found defeating these systems can be fined by the EPA. If you think your carb is running a bit lean just use a little bit of choke and see if the engine picks up a bit. Then you can try mixing in some fuel system cleaner into your next tank of fuel and see if that gets you back on track. It is the cheapest way to go before spending any money on shop service or new equipment.

Be safe and good luck!

SOURCE: how to position the two little plastic hoses going

This is much easier than you think; the carburetor has two ports, one supply one return, the return port is the top port which allows excess fuel to be returned to the fuel tank when pressing the primer bulb. The bottom port is the intake that supplies fuel to the carburetor to be mixed with air and pushed into the cylinder for the combustion cycle. Both lines connect to the tank, the line with a cylindrical looking object is the supply line, that object is the fuel filter, so it would be connected to the bottom port of the carburetor. I hope that helps.

The unit is under warranty. The person you talked to must be new. Find a warranty service center in your area. Take your receipt with you and they should be able to take care of it for you.

How do you rebuild a Zama carburetor ?

I have the MightyLite 26bv....will only run at half choke. When turn knob to run, it dies. Does not reach full power ever.

The parts inside the carburetor need to be replaced (gasket and diaphragm kit) and/or the L and H screws need to be adjusted on the carb. Try grasping and turning the L mixture screw on the carburetor (one closest to engine) about 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn counterclockwise.

Price forcarburettorforhomelitef3045trimmer

This is as close as I could come to your model. Several iof the carburetor items for Homelites have been updated or discontinued. In addition to this, Ebay has several Zama carburetors for sale that may fit your machine. This site is pricey but will give you a good idea;

I can not get it started unless I pull the plug and put a little fuel inside the cylinder

You may have a dirty carburetor. this can be tough to fix as the openings are so small. Also you may have a dirty fuel filter. (often located in the gas tank) also does it have a priming bulb? Trying freash gas is always a good idea.

Homelite model UT21566 string trimmer runs only on full choke and at lower RPM. I have disassembled and cleaned carburetor but that did not fix problem. Steve

Your carb high and low settings may need tweaking if it's not a fuel or muffler issue. I believe needles are made only to be adjusted by a technician. If you want to try adjusting it yourself, google and you tube your to see how.

Blower starts but shuts off in run

Fuel starvation - 'lean fuel' condition
Basic things to check:
1) spark plug
2) spark arrestor in muffler
3) fuel lines and tank filter
4) turn adjustment needles out (counterclockwise) 1/4 to 1/2 turn
*if all of the above are OK and/or do not improve performance then:
Remove Carburetor
5) replace gaskets/diaphragms
b) use a spray carb cleaner to clean jets, holes, and body of carb

Idles only

It is probably needing a carburetor adjustment or you have some fuel mixture that is older than 30 days. Try mixing some fresh gas<from the station, and 2 cycle oil at 40:1(3.2 oz 2cycle oil to 1 gal of gas). Alot of these unit have needed a little attention even brand new.
Good Day.
