Replacing The Fuel Lines And Purge Bulb On A Troy-Bilt Edger

[@robertmailhos8159]

Great idea to get the multi pack of primer bulbs and fuel line

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

I thought so too

I think you did an awesome job I think it's ready for sale thank you for the video

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

You are so welcome and thank you!

[@pit4955]

You have it running quite well those edgers never do start with one pull, advertise as being in good running condition. As always Thx for the good info 👍

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

Thank you too!

[@ccastaneda669]

It starts the way it starts. I would leave it alone but I would change the blade which is one of the most important part. After you put in a new blade, sell it as is.

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

grat point!

[@matthewwearsch242]

No more washing no more oiling the wheels but how about putting a new blade on? That's the most important part of the whole EDGER

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

if it's worn down, then yes replacing the blade would be a good idea.

[@MazichMusic]

Get a multi-pack of blades to save money

[@matthewwearsch242]

@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE YES IT'S TIME

[@hickorystx]

I would delve further into the starting issue and get it to start on one to two pulls before selling. Just how I would do for a potential customer. Thanks for sharing!! 🛠

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

no problem and thank you for your insight

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Let it go like it is. I oil the deck wheels on the battery job every other time. The pivot weels need grease every 20 hours and it's got 50+ now. So far, so good but it's just for here. 72% battery left last time and I've just been beeboping along, not flying. Happy week

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

nice! I recently got another battery mower, and I'm hoping it works well.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE Me too. Our 2 work fine and a neighbor got one too. He'd come over and slobber on the Stihl when Toots was trimming. Looks like he got a Toro. It's red. Mowed today and 74%.Oiled the deck wheels though.

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

nice!

These troybilt motors are good

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

the larger ones are pretty good.

[@rogerallen3206]

My Troybilt grass trimmer is like that, jump start and very hard to start when cold. Sometimes I think it's the jump start feature.

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

I think you might be right

[@gearhead366]

I would use it a bit, and see if the hard starting problem improved. It could be sticky rings, which might clear up with use. You've already fixed it once, so I wouldn't suspect the carb or valves. I'd probably do a compression test, too.

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

good idea.

[@larryz24]

I would clean the carb (ultrasonically) and make sure the jets are not compromised. Also, a valve adjustment might help with a hard start.

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

thank you

[@SHOINOFF]

It could use a slightly higher throttle. Maybe a slight carb adjustment. And the oil looked black.

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

thank you!

[@tjclarke4604]

Isn't that a red choke lever behind the air box?

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

yes but according to the instructions it's used for when the weather is cold. I don't remember what temperature it stated but something in the 40's I think

[@tjclarke4604]

@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE So, you going to try the choke or what?

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

tried it, it oddly made the starting process even more unpredictable. Sometimes it would start in 4 pulls, others times, it didn't start at all. So not using it, makes more sense until the weather gets colder.

[@RussellBooth1977]

Probably readjust the valve lash to make it easier to start l. I know that I have bought my dad a new Chonda GX35 engine for an early fathers day present because I tried even JB welding, honing the deep scratches in the cylinder & replacing the piston rings which caused it to burn oil after 21 years of hard use. It still started first go but it began to drink oil & blow smoke, the problem is that the honing increased the bore size & the engine drinks even more oil now & it keeps on fouling up the spark plug & it won't run because of that,so for $125 AUD in eBay including postage I ordered a brand new Chinese clone instead of a genuine $500 AUD Honda GX35 engine. I will see how that goes & I will even buy a new Chonda cylinder kit to rebuild the original engine !

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

hope it goes well!

[@samfeldman1508]

Maybe check valve lash? Otherwise, send it. Good job.

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

thank you!

[@NickSpires09]

Great video that fuel tank is tiny and what year are these from I was thinking about huh if I can find one that runs and works than I think it would be a good investment tell me what you think

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

this one Is from 2012, and I think they're just Okay, I'd rather it was a 2 stroke though

[@jwayne777]

Well I think you should try to get it as easy to start. You'll probably be able to get something close to the price you want for that on the marketplace, but personally two cycle edgers I really deplore

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

agreed!

[@maximilianfischer8899]

Are you supposed to press the purge bulb 10 times or what does the 10× symbol with the finger on the bulb stand for?

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

yes, it wants you to press it 10 times, because on an empty fuel system it takes several presses just to bet fuel up to the carb.

[@maximilianfischer8899]

@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE thanks for the clarification

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

no problem

[@christophermarshall5765]

Leave it as is, & let the buyer decide.

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

great choice

[@scottpace578]

What about a valve adjustment

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

already done before putting it up in storage

[@ramadinsookhoo6141]

Hey bro what's up? Honestly I would leave it as is and inform the person who is going to purchase this edger. My question to you is which of the two makes of edger would you prefer to use? This type of edger or the one that looks like a string trimmer?

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

yes, but the engines on these are much bigger than the string trimmer version, mainly because of it needing to dig into the dirt

[@nisamvise1724]

Ive heard the stihl fs91 r is a 4stroke that takes 2 cycle mix. Is tuning the carb for one of them as simple as a normal 2 cycle trimmer?

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

I'd rather phrase it, as a 2 stroke with valves. That would be a better description to me. I find tuning them just the same as the 2 stroke version

[@bradylyons8748]

What do I do if I got a ryobi 2 stroke trimmer with new fuel lines but leaks gas like crazy out of the places where they go in

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

not sure what places you're asking about but if it's leaking at the ports on the carb, it should mean your fuel lines are too big.

[@TheHobbyKid1]

so i have a weedeater brand weed eater and it only runs on half choke, any suggestions?

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

sure, adjust the carb for more fuel

[@scottjohnson5449]

if it were me.... let the buyer know and decide for them selves.

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

good choice

[@geraldButtry]

i have a bad shoulder and at 80 i do not like to have to pull many times hehe

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

I hear that

[@Stuntshorts500]

its starts when u pull it 10x which is the same amount of time u need to prime the engine but why is that

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

hey you're right!

[@MarkMeadows90]

I would leave it as is, and let the buyer decide on it.

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

I agree

[@Delerium_22]

I would let the new owner decide honestly

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

good choice

[@watermanone7567]

I would leave it like it is. No sense making a money pit of it. Usually only get used a few times a year.

[@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE]

I like the way you think
