Husqvarna 226HD60S Hedge Trimmer (Cutting out & Stalls) Fixed

[@300553blue]

I had the same hedge trimmer with the same problem. Stripped and cleaned the carb 3 times. New gaskets fitted. Exactly the same. Ticked over beautiful, wouldn't rev, just bog down. Ordered a new carb. Didn't make sense, machine had only done a few hours, still looked like new. Stripped it down for one last try before the new carb turned up. Just putting it back together and noticed the sneaky little 2.5 mm hole that housed the sneaky little top end mixture screw that Husqvarna forgot to tell us about. Sneaky bastards. Maybe they aren't selling enough carburettors. Put it back together without adjusting that mixture screw. Ticked over beautiful, wouldn't rev. Same as before. Turned that secret screw out a quarter of a turn, revved right up. Tuned the top end with that screw and now it runs lovely. Drilled a 4mm hole in the plastic handle above the mixture screw so I can use a long, thin screwdriver next time instead of the custom made short one I used. Cancelled the new carb that was on order. I enjoyed the challenge but almost bought a new carb that wasn't necessary. If anyone wants details let me know but I'm sure that now you know that there is a secret screw, you'll be able to find it without a problem.

mi puoi indicare con precisione dove è questa vite da regolare ? Grazie

[@gideonr0]

Is it a plastic screw with three slots (tri-wing), just beside where the fuel pipes enter the carb?

[@gideonr0]

Ah, okay, I see two tri-wing plastic blanking plugs, one beside where the fuel pipes enter and one in the centre of the throttle control. I take it the adjusting screws are under these?

[@zebadeez]

did you mix the fuel with 2 stroke? it looks as though you forgot. should appear like diluted squash not clear

[@marcv8813]

Fuel filter in the gas tank dissolves over time. Probably just need a new one. Have a look, it's probably all gummed up. A very easy fix.

[@danramirez6582]

I so appreciate you posting this in You Tube as I am looking for a good gas hedge trimmer and had Husqvarna as a possible purchase but not anymore!!

[@tgsgardenmaintenance4627]

I have the 122HD60's and they are the easiest hedgecutters to start! For the bigger jobs I have the 522HDR75X's and they start just as easy! Both are excellent.

[@sdi1111]

Yes, it's really fixed! Your heading says 'Hedge Trimmer Fixed!'

[@garycracknell717]

What fix ?

[@TrevorSheppard-c8j]

Where is the part where he fixed it?

[@gideonr0]

I have the same model as this and it behaved exactly the same way as yours. I tried replacing the carburettor diaphragms twice, and even bought another carburettor. I have since discovered that mine runs perfectly if I put less oil in the fuel.

[@300553blue]

The engine is already running lean. Reducing the amount of oil is not the answer, although it may seem to run better in the short term. The carb needs adjusting so the engine runs richer. ( see comment above )

[@gideonr0]

Deleted that message as I agree with you.

[@hsvr]

gideonr0 where did you buy a new carburettor

[@mrperfecto2758]

I bough one of this couple years back and i was told that the gasoline has to do a lot with the performance of this brand(Husqvarna) i live in California. I still love husqvarna landscaping tools, but if you buy stihl hedge trimmers you don't go wrong eather.

[@jimbob-tz4zb]

Looks like the "H" screw on the carb needs turning out anti clock just a touch. Small two strokes are a pain as they can easily be affected by atmospherics - even a couple hundred feet of elevation can require the "H" and "L" screws to require adjustment.

[@RimfireRat]

did U try letting it idle for a few min to warm up.i've read a 5 min warm up works in this model

[@mikejulius7581]

Yeah any 2stroke theres definitely a warm up time

[@hepeng2627]

thanks share this video

[@hardydude69]

I get it. Now how do you fix it?

[@zarrow50]

Few mixes go bad after a month and can't be used, so never mix to much up

[@itlixtu]

I have a 226HD75S. I am having the same issue. It has gotten worse since I pulled it out of the box. I can only find one adjustment screw that has the upside down T under it for idle. I took the whole carb apart and see no issues. Mine was made in 2014. Either they have gotten rid of the adjustment screw or I am over looking it! Any pics or videos?

[@willsmoran]

I am not sure what Carburetor is in your model. The Carburetor in my Hedge trimmer was a Walbro WYA 104 013 which was replaced with Carburetor Walbro WYA 104 307. That replacement cleared the fault. I will take some pictures so you can refer too.

[@davidis3001]

So what were you doing....

[@willsmoran]

New carburetor was installed. Hedge trimmer works perfectly since repair. Refer to my update on 29/07/2014 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXbMmoShf7qljK8

[@300553blue]

Look on the side of the carb, under the plastic handle. You'll see a single, tiny hole, maybe 3mm, that's the one. You only need a small flat bladed screwdriver. It has to be short though, to fit under the plastic handle. Adjust in small increments. You'll probably only need to turn it 1/8 the of a turn. ( anti-clockwise ) so make sure you know the position of the screw before you start. Don't cut down the amount of oil, you'll shorten the life of the motor significantly.

[@seifusz]

I have the same problem

[@small-engine-repair]

Don't rev it right away let it warm up

[@sedatdemirel667]

Çok acemisin hemde çok acemi moruru çalıştırmayı başarman bile mucize😅😅

[@rodrm864]

Bought this new and acted the same way :(

[@gideonr0]

Same here, even bought another carb, which didn't fix it either.

[@bradmefford5621]

Carb needs adjustment...epa have them running too lean for emissions easy fix

[@jtaylor8606]

So what was the solution?

[@willsmoran]

New carburetor was installed. Hedge trimmer works perfectly since repair. Refer to my update on 29/07/2014 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXbMmoShf7qljK8

[@helphelpimbeingrepressed9347]

Bit late & I have a different model but I just adjusted a screw (marked T, for timing I assume?) a small amount & she's running like a champ again!

[@aidanbailey2709]

Be good if you took the guard off

[@erniel741]

Same model, same problem from day one! Don’t waste your money on this piece of crap.

[@Kingy100]
