[@allanderfong914]

Great video! Question for you, the secondary fuel line going into the fuel tank, the one that doesn’t have the fuel filter on it, how does that hose connect the tank ? Is there a washer of some kind from the inside to keep it tight and sealed ?

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

there is nothing extra on the "return line". It's simply relying on the fuel line being tight in the opening of the tank to keep it in place.

[@normal_media]

looks like that shaft coupler is dry rotted too. Hey even my internal tank piece was brittle and snapped while I was pulling stuff through that tiny hole. I did run it like that for a bit rhough just to run it (with no filter). I dont recommend that since it ran for about 10-15 minutes than died. Maybe it sucked air, but rather than pull so much to get a blister, I walked away, ordered the right part and will readdress it after the part comes in.

[@lucasbergfors9446]

@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE I've been working on grandma's and grandpa's Jonsered RS44 in the meantime now when the Husqvarna 252RX is fully repaired i can turn my full attention to the Jonsered RS44 what i did whilst wating to get the killswitch fixed with dad and before we got the clutch screw problem solved too i looked over it and checked it's condition it had a lot of grass around the guard which i later cleaned but i got started on it by checking the 2 first things i already knew i hadn't starting with the fuel, it has been sitting for years with fuel in the tank which meant the fuel was very old another thing i noticed was that the fuel cap retainer had come off, luckily it still was in the tank so i put the retainer back on the fuel cap and closed the fuel tank, after that i checked for compression and luckily the engine was fighting back a lot a 20 year old trimmer should have lost compression at that age like the Husqvarna 252RX did but that was not the case with the Jonsered, next i opened up the top cover to check the air filter's condition it was made out of foam but when i tried picking it up for cleaning because it was heavily soaked in fuel it fell apart meaning it needs a new air filter, the engine was built up differently from the Husqvarna 252RX you had the intake and carburetor on the right side, in the middle the engine and to the left, i realized at that point that the Jonsered was built up in the same way and had the same engine parts as the Husqvarna 240R and Husqvarna 245R not only were the parts of the engine the same but they were built up the same with the Jonsered having a few different parts, the most Interesting part of all was the engine design of the Husqvarna 240R and 245R like the Jonsered i did further research ans found out that the crankcase was one whole piece and the parts put together by screws, the design of the 3 made it very easy for the operator to work on the engine if i have to say it right out, for example if one seal was leaking and you need to remove the crankshaft to replace it, you can remove the screws holding the crankshaft and then work on replacing the seal without the need to take the crankcase apart which you have to do on most trimmers nowdays like the Husqvarna 252RX for example because on the 2 piece crankcase design you have a gasket between each half which you then need to replace after replacing the crankshaft or seal, the carburetor on the other hand had quiet an unique design on the Husqvarna 240s and the Jonsered it had the choke lever attached sideways behind the air filter base, the fuel line wad attached behind the carb and at the front i found that the throttle cable was attached 😄

thanks for sharing your experience

[@ethanmiller3935]

I am able to run my equipment year round doing a variety of different jobs as to avoid winterizing. But even if l didnt need to use a piece of equipment for a season, l would still go and start it every few weeks as to not winterize it. I use 100% gas and the oil l use (echo red armor and amsoil saber) both claim to stabilize the gas so l dont see the need to drain it all out and run it dry for my situation. Two questions for you, Do you use a tool to set the metering arm? Zama and Walbro each make a tool shaped like a Z and W for their respective companies to set the arm level. Your can get knock offs on amazon but the name brand one isn't much more. I have found on some equipment the metering arm level is the only way to meter the fuel flow because the carb has fixed jets. Question 2, have you tried putting canned 2 stroke gas in your equipment and just letting them sit for the winter with the canned gas in it? Steves Small Engine Saloon has done it, just wondering your thoughts on it. Great Video as always!!

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

first answer, is no, I do apologize but I simply don't worry about it. Is it important, most definitely but here's the thing, just because I use , doesn't mean I want you to get it. I'm a big advocate for the compression tester, and spark checker, because I feel they are basic tool. The arm level is not something everyone needs. Hence why I haven't gotten an ultrasonic cleaner. Yes I've seen canned premix work in an echo trimmer that was stored for over 2 year. took it out put my now mix into it and it fired right up.

[@stoolie10]

Where do you start out with the initial carb settings for L & H? I just replaced the fuel lines and purge bulb but it’s still not running properly.

[@ramadinsookhoo6141]

I always drain all the fuel from all my equipment when I'm finished using them this way it extends the life of your equipment.

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

you are absolutely right.

[@berkeleygang1834]

I find if I drain the fuel from my 2-stroke equipment, the rubber parts in the carb dry out. I keep the gas tank full which also prevents condensation. I use ethenol free fuel with Echo Red Armor oil (also contains a fuel stabilizer), and run my engines up to operating temperature at least once a month, then top off the fuel. This is the only thing I've found to keep from rebuilding the carbs every time I want to use my equipment. YMMV, but you did ask.

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

I haven't had the problem yet, but it makes sense. The only problem is that most owners manuals suggest draining the tank and running it dry, so that's what I do.

[@kryshargrove5006]

I tried everything from fuel line replacement I looked at the carburetor but didn’t go any further w that, it starts on choke but makes a light clinking sound but when I shift to #2 it dies and the blades won’t spin,

hello again 👋 how's is your tiller holding up if you still have it? i pulled mine out of storage to work on some flower beds and prep some of my yard for new grass seed, and noticed that it was leaking fuel from both the ports on the gas tank. long story short, i didn't like the design of just plugging the return fuel line into the gas tank without some form of seal, so i 3d printed a little "external nipple / barb" for lack of better words, and then JB welded that to the gas tank. also JB welded the little plastic circle to the gas tank as well. so far no leaks. 🤞 curious if you've had any more issues with yours?

[@patthesoundguy]

I stopped using carb cleaner on those carbs because it attacks the rubber parts, and I had some issues, I only use brake clean now. The brake clean is much kinder to rubber and doesnt cause it to swell. I won't lie, I only drain the fuel out of my 2 stoke machines if I know it's going to sit for a very long time, which is more than six months. I don't have issues with bad fuel in my 2 strokes like my 4 strokes. It might be the oil I use, but it's most likely the fact that the carbs and tanks are not open to the air the same as most 4 strokes.
