Husqvarna 326LD Strimmer Is Low On Power

[@Chucky-b7v]

As usual, Scott you hit the nail right on the head again. Great job, buddy.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Thanks for watching!

[@larryvankirk7423]

Good repair Scott. As to the purge bulb, many things that look bad feel good. Laaaaater

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Lol, Thanks for watching!

[@tedneitzel]

I'm not sure I've quite heard a metering diaphragm that loud either! Kinda surprised it ran like it did!

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

@@tedneitzel Good point. It should have run worse.

Ahhhhhh The Infamous “Potato Chip” Metering Diagram Strikes Again 😩😐 Scott Great Catch Again 😊👍🏼

Snap-crackle-pop ............... that metering diaphragm made more noise than a bowl of Rice Krispies.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

@@PelicanIslandLabs It was certainly a crunchy one!

[@mendonesiac]

It's probably worth noting that the gray cover over the top cover is connected by an _interior_ bolt. I scratched my head on that the first time I disassembled one of these

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

All I can say is thats its not a typical design...but it gives it a unique look.

[@alans.4658]

Another great video in the books Scott. I kept looking at the bar and chain on your table. Is there a story about the b&c?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

@@alans.4658 It's the business end of a 525PT5S pole saw. Customer complaining about an oil leak. I'm not sure what stage of that repair it's at in this video.

Thanks Scott. I'm just so grateful that there is no ethanol based fuel here in New Zealand.

@@steveconroy1614 Lucky you!

Ive got an Echo Cs 310 that bogs down at full throttle. I removed the limit caps and had it running pretty darn good after adjusting but the next morning it was boging down again. Here what ive done so far. Cleaned the carb in my ultrasonic cleaner replaced all the fuel lines added fresh fuel and ordered a new carb kit because the metering diapram felt crispy. I know i did a lot of shit out of order but my question is what would make it go from running really good to bogging down again the next morning? Hopefully everything i did will fix it after i install the new kit. After watching your videos i know where to start first and ordered the carb stand as well as a hand pump to test fuel lines for leaks. What else should i be aware of when putting thungs back together?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

First, remove the spark plug and see if your carb adjustments were too lean and scored the cylinder. If its good then don't use compressed air to blow anything out of the carb. You can create more problems that way. Put everything back together just the way you found it. I say that because some kits have a lot of diaphragms that all look really close but are different. That stiff metering diaphragm is likely the source of your high speed bog.

Looks like my removable shaft trimmer/edger. do you have a carb adjustment video on that unit? thanks scott

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

@jeffreyullmer2831 I'm not sure. I wish I kept a list of all the models of repairs.

[@steveriggenbach90]

Great job. Do you usually switch fuel filter with carb kit? How do you set the carb without a load?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

@@steveriggenbach90 I do all my final adjustments away from the bench (in a log, etc). I just don't film it because of agreements made with my employer.

[@steveriggenbach90]

@@TheGreasyShopRag I should have asked it differently. I repaired a power head and didn’t have the shaft. I set the carb rich, would that have been correct?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

@@steveriggenbach90 Yes that would be correct but how rich is the question. It would take some experimenting to get the feel for it. Kinda like when I set a saw a bit rich if I'm tuning it on an unusually warm day right before fall cutting season.

[@steveriggenbach90]

@@TheGreasyShopRag thank you

[@ranacherian]

What brand long bit is on the gun?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Matco. I'm also trying out a Mac branded bit. Both seem to be better than anything else I've used.

[@DeLaLosPedros]

Now that was simple fix, out with the old in with the new😂 like i should do in relationship😱🫣🤣
