[@spelunkerd]

You put a lot of effort into the videography, I sure like the dual camera angles for critical moments. Voice over makes the message delivery smoother. I like your decision to replace everything for the sake of viewers, even though many original parts were OK. Don't forget to put the link to where you got the parts, as described in the video. Well done!

[@PilotViewProductions]

Thanks for the comments. You sir, are very astute. You picked up on all my efforts. This was my toughest video yet cause I had almost 3 hours to edit down between the multiple cameras. But, I started this channel out of my frustration related to other how-to videos being too dark or shaky to allow me to figure out what the videographer was doing. Thank you as well for the voice-over comments. Its actually easier and more accurate to do the descriptions 'after' the video is shot than 'during' because of the pressure to get the narration correct each time. Narration after-the-fact gives me plenty of time to include items of interest that otherwise I might have forgotten live. Thank you lastly because of your ability to pick up on the fact that the detailed kit installation was not only for the owner's benefit but also for my viewership. BTW: I added the link...it just didn't have time to post by the time you watched. Thanks again.

[@larryc872]

Excellent Video! I own 2 128LD's. I did what most people do when the 128LD's quit running, except I skipped the step where you throw away the old one. So now I'll do this procedure on the old one (minus the coil replacement 'cause the old coil is OK) then I will be able to leave the string trimmer attachment on one, and the blower attachment on the other. Very high quality video, with time stamps. There must have been a lot of thought and preparation in this.

[@PilotViewProductions]

[@shawnmulberry774]

08:00 You can wrap some tape around the plug head to the wire which smooths the contour and the plug won't catch as much. Makes pulling it out much easier. First tie some twine to the plug and tape over that. When you pull out the wire, the twine can be used to pull the new wire through the pathway and into position very easily.

[@Bob-More-Than-Enough-WC]

This video is exactly what I needed. Mine stopped after replacing trimmer line. I have good spark and a new plug. New Carb and fuel lines. still not starting, but I may have an idea now... And you took it apart much better than I have as I fumbled through it. Thanks for showing me the easier way!!

I have this model I bought back in 2014. it turned out to be a very solid machine. It's had a carb and fuel line replacement and still going strong. It still starts easily. Though I have been hearing more complaints about the newer ones. Dunno if they are recent qc issues or user error. Just goes to show you that everybody's mileage may vary. Your best trimmer ever may be a piece of junk to someone else.

My air filter was clean, fresh gas, had to go to town and find the spark plug cross, could not find the Champion plug it called for and I went on and purchased a fuel filter. I had to wait after I got back to farm it was already over 100 heat index, too hot to be outside.

Both fuel lines are supposed to have small plastic connectors INSIDE of the fuel tank. These connectors are very important because they keep the heavy vibrations from pulling the fuel lines out of the tank.

Thank you, a great video. One thing you didnt mention and after a thorough search of the web I can find no direct answer for is; which fuel line goes to the primer bulb? I got a used one and after switching the lines it now runs. Someone, i believe, reversed them? I have the short (return line) running to the primer bulb. Just want to make 100% sure this is correct.

Good job but I think you should have done the spark plug cap where it was loose first before the major service.

My experience has been that if it was not cranking because of the broken boot wire, it would have tried to fire up when I was using the spark tester. Therefore; the broken boot wasn't the issue. Thanks for viewing.

You can use acid to make the tank white again. Oven cleaner works well.

[@PilotViewProductions]

Hey thanks for the tip Jake. I will definitely try it.

[@wayneflemmer2607]

There is one more thing you need to check is when you set the gap on the coil and tighten it down make sure rotate the part that the magnets are on to make sure the magnets are not hitting the coil as they go by. In my case they were and I had to open gap a little more so that the magnets would clear the coil. Had I not done this I'm sure it would have caused some damage when I went to start it.

[@johncollins8304]

Are spark plug testers misnamed since you never see the plug spark? As you said, the flash we see tells us that the coil is good. Those gadgets test everything up to but not including the spark plug. I wonder how they're named in the patent...

[@BigJesse579]

Man this was excellent. What do you recommend cleaning the dirty insides with? Brake cleaner?

[@PilotViewProductions]

You ‘could’ but if you watch my other Husqvarna chainsaw videos, I typically use something like Gunk engine degreaser and Dawn with a toothbrush for the tight spots and hot water with the Dawn. Let the parts soak overnight if you can.

[@jeffreyullmer2831]

I have a husqvarna 326LDX, just quit. I have spark good fuel, however, a lot of oil around the muffler and inside the case. I need to check compression. will any compression gage work? most say automotive gauge, when shopping. thank for helping!

[@PilotViewProductions]

I picked up a compression gauge from Harbor Freight that was defective and returned it and got another one that was reading incorrectly. I ended up buying one that was of more quality through Amazon and it’s been great. That said, if you have oil coming out the muffler, make sure the muffler screen is not stopped up.

[@charlescoker7752]

Question. I have this trimmer. For some reason it burns a hole thru the filter in line with the butterfly. valve. I contacted the company. All I got was a dumb look. What do you think causes this. What is the solution?

[@PilotViewProductions]

The 'only' reason I can think of that gases hot enough to burn through the air filter would come back thru the butterfly would be a backfiring issue. At any rate, if that were happening to me, I would suspect a defective carburetor. But I am no professional weed trimmer repair person, just a shade tree goober who tries to use logic.

Hey man. I'm getting fuel in my primer bulb but when I remove the spark plug, it's not wet. I put a new carburetor on it and it's still not showing the plug getting fuel.
