What if the blower already cut the screen but no much power, I took mine to a shop and they changed the carburetor but it still working around 70%
@SmallEngineRepair5 күн бұрын
I'd try to tune that new carb. Lean out the high side just a little and it might get faster. If not that, it might just be the engine getting weak.

Lamprey or baby eels are likely suspects. I remember eel babies in small streams like this. Coming up from the Hudson River in NY state. They spawn in the sea, then babies go up into fresh water.

THANK YOU! I recently started renting from a house that provided this exact model lawn mower for me to use. It was caked in gunk and mud, and it barely ran. It would struggle to start and wouldn't stay running more than a couple minutes at best, until it got to the point it wouldn't start anymore. I suspected it was the carb is clogged and so I watched this video to see how hard it would be to clean it rather than take it to a shop or buy a new one. I followed your video precisely and now the lawn mower runs like brand new. You saved me a bunch of money and I am super thankful for this video.

@andrewcostel4821Ай бұрын
I have this exact one. Wouldn’t stay running. I replaced fuel lines and primer bulb because of dry rot. And then took the carb and cleaned it out. Starts first try. It’s not as powerful or as large as my commercial husqvarna 525lst but I still have a use for a small one like this

Dude, you’re a genius. I looked at this video cause I like man I don’t have a special tool and you said a bolt. I turned around and grabbed one random bolt and turned around and it fit better than a tool would.

The rewind spring is the lower spring like another commenter that has spun out on mine. Without the case it comes in when you buy it how do you fit that. And in the case you buy a new one in it's still hard to put in. how to fit it if you have a new rewind spring in a retainot case. drop it down in place where you can see the spring through the holes in thecase around the edges. push the spring down into place ' good luck. rewind it into the case and try again. be patient. I'm looking for my rewind spring case- will I find it! @no-way=Jose

I hate those springs, I'm on my tenth one now, and the blower is maybe two years old. I almost traded it for a twelve pack, but the guy only had ten.

I bought a new red XL12 new 1975. Started it saw until oil and gas fill up, then it wouldn't start hot. Took it to the dealer and he replaced the coil ran for a couple weeks no problems then it done the same thing, took it back said coil went bad, ran for about 1month same thing. So I quit using it and went back to my c51 homelite that I bought used from my uncle, ran that old saw until 1977 traded the XL12 and C51 for a stihl 041 farm boss, wow best saw I ever had never no problems ran it for 30+ years...

@SmallEngineRepair4 ай бұрын
Newer machines have a fuel solenoid in the bottom of the carburetor. You'll need to get power to the fuel solenoid for it to start. Turning the key on should do that then jump the wires to turn the engine over.
