You saved an American from a trip to the mechanic shop thank you 🙏

[@RJLgardens]

Nice one 👌

[@jimsnellen6222]

Great job! I took mine apart to clean and sharpen but forgot how to reassemble. Glad I found this!

[@RJLgardens]

Cheers. I've been in that situation before 😅

[@jn2400]

I took one of my multitool trimmers apart had an extra bolt and washer great lol

[@RJLgardens]

Thats always a bummer 😂

[@LewisgardenservicesLtd]

Detailed work mate👌 my favourite is when you get a gearbox full of grease mixed with blown needle bearing etc😅

[@RJLgardens]

Cheers bud 👍, yeh that is a right mess, done a few of those 😅

[@michaelpfau1150]

Nice one 👍

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

A great video , really enjoy watching and learning from them. Are you able to do a video on an annual service of the Husqvarna 525 bx blower. All the best from Newcastle.

[@RJLgardens]

[@maxwellsgrasscuttingservices]

Qué problema es cuando las cuchillas de mi corta césped no dan vuelta no giran

[@RJLgardens]

Could be a number of things, so hard to say

[@alexnelson09]

If I tighten the hardware on the blades all the way down then my blades seize up and the engine stalls. If I back them out a tiny amount then the machine runs freely but the hardware falls out. I did just buy genuine blades and hardware from stilhl but I almost feel like the spacers are too small. Any tips?

[@RJLgardens]

Dont know mate, sounds weird. Did you get the correct spacers? Make sure you haven't got engine running issues. Could also be your clutch is worn maybe.

i have this problem , i am now going to leave them loose and use loctite , i have tried many nuts and torques, if i did what the video shows it would stop and die like yours

[@joshuabush2569]

Hi Mate, I've got an old HS81r.. was running like crap so I got a new carb.. not genuine just a cheapy one. It runs good but cuts out occasionally on idle, I've increased the idle speed and it still happens.. could it be the cheap carb?

[@brianconnor1810]

Adjust the low speed screw

[@RJLgardens]

As Brian says mate it prob needs the carb tweaking a bit. I am doing a carb adjusting vid soon. 👍

[@joshuabush2569]

@@RJLgardens ok mate cheers, I pretty much do all my work and repairs myself but I still haven't completely got the hang of carb tuning.

[@RJLgardens]

@@joshuabush2569 Once it clicks its like a light bulb, 100% worth learning 👍

[@thegeordiefellwalker8878]

that blade was as bent as a dogs hind elephant 🤣 i only use my hs45 for reductions now (to heavy for lots of trimming)

[@RJLgardens]

Its a horrible little hedge trimmer 🤣👍

[@Himoutdoors]

New blades. £100 New Hs45 £270 Maybe I should have just bought a new one….😂

[@RJLgardens]

😂 Yeh that is the dilemma. Always go for the cheaper fix option provided the machine isn't on its last legs. They were around £80 when i bought them 👍
