Homelite 26cc highspeed surges - Homelite Garden

  • Alex Y.
    Alex Y. May 25, 2017

    I have tried adjusting both mixture screws. At full throttle after about 30 seconds the idle surges up and down.

    Oops ! It should have said the high speed surges up and down. Not the idle.

You have to make sure the case of the plug is making good connection against the metal on motor. Use file or sandpaper to get good connection on the plug and the motor.

SOURCE: Replace a primer bulb on a Homelite Mighty Lite

There should be two to four screws right around the primer bulb cover, which is located around the primer bulb. Remove those and switch the primer bulb out.

SOURCE: NEED TO REPLACE SPARK ARRESTER

Hi and welcome to FixYa. I am Kelly.
There are 6 model numbers with Mighty Light in the name:
UT-21506
UT-21546 UT-21907 UT-21947 UT-21566 UT-21967 They all appear to use this muffler: http://www.jackssmallengines.com/partslookupcart.cfm?arisku=308990001&aribrand=Homelite&arireturnurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jackssmallengines.com%2Fhelp.cfm%3Fario%253dgetAssemblyCollectionariamparipa%253dAnjgY*mKGXmndGJGQbyJww%253d%253dariamparica%253dwBQND3HPqCdAJrT8YcDNyA%253d%253dariamparioem%253dVOGGWB2rODFgBxRc4uyLwQ%253d%253dariamparit%253da439d57a-1a88-41c6-a006-f87871a54b42&ariqty=1 If this is not what you were looking for you can go to this site and find your model number. Just note that homelite engines are usually in the 2nd drawing of each unit: http://www.jackssmallengines.com/help.cfm Choose parts search by model (Folders) Homelite Homelite (again) String Trimmers Then search for your model number The engine is under general assy. It is replaced by simply unscrewing the mounting screws / removing the muffler and then mounting the new muffler using the original hardware and reverse sequence of removal for gaskets and heat shields. Thanks for choosing FixYa, Kelly

Have spark dos'nt start ? homelite 26cc

Since you have spark then you need gas or air. I made some videos on giving my Homelite a tune up and carb rebuild. Got all the parts form Home Depot and the carb rebuild kit from Amazon. Didn't cost much for all that.

Where can i get a Gear & Pin Assembly for my homelite

I am pretty sure that John Deere still owns Homelite. When I had a Homelite chainsaw I went to a John Deere implement dealer and they ordered it for me.

Homelite trimmer, gas, string - y is the string wrapping itself around the head of the trimmer?

The line on my new 26cc Homelite would also feed out by itself. That started me thinking the line was wound backwards. I wrapped the line in the opposite direction as was shown on the bump feed reel and now the dang thing works although the bump feed needs to be "bumped" pretty hard to work. Is it possible that the reel was manufactured with the (string direction) arrows pointing the wrong direction? The new 26cc unit is also underpowered compared to my older 25cc trimmer.
