Thank you for instructions very helpful

[@carl8825]

Very good instruction. Thank you

[@gabrielromero7173]

Appreciation for teach was helpful...

[@iralscott]

Just seeing this for the first time. Good content well done, just wish you could have listed the tools and sizes you used and where to obtain them as well as where you got your short block assembly. Overall very well done

[@hellohello8556]

The screw driver that you use to take the screws in and out is that a regular impact driver? The reason I ask is because I thought that a regular impact driver would have so much power that it would bore out the Phillips screw part of the screw before it starts clicking. If it is a special driver that you are using could you please let me know what sort it is?By the way as usual great video thankyou. 👍

Bolt size for the housing

[@ybrik5937]

Came across this video to remove the muffler. I just removed the rear covers and went the short route of cutting portions of the housing at the minimum just to access the 2 muffer bols.

[@JustinMentionedIt]

So this comes with the top end and everything? Think mine shit out and needs new piston and rings but If near the whole motor is only $90 I’ll just do that

[@teresaramos6189]

they delivered my short block today and holes are not tapped out. what size screws and tap do i need

[@teresaramos6189]

called craftsman and screws are self tapping

[@PanyingPilot]

My particular sorrow is that the upper boom's cable connection's reciever has rounded out and will not drive anything attached as a lower boom. You can not find a Troybilt replacement upper boom shaft assembly, thus rendering my trimmer and all attachments useless. I think this engineered obsolescence is unconscionable.

That jump start shaft is a pretty much useful feature, but how much cc is the engine itself???

[@conner5611]

25

[@ybrik5937]

Can the spark arrestor on this muffler be removed for cleaning?

[@tombingel9877]

I had just did the exact same thing as in the video and my trimmer still will not work. New engine block, new coil, new plug, new gas. Any ideas?

[@cryptkeeper4727]

You might not have the required gap set properly between the coil and the flywheel. Should be right around 0.020" depending on which model you have. Look it up for the correct gap requirements.

[@edfletcher1716]

I just recieved my short block but noticed the holes are not tapped. How should I proceed?

[@teresaramos6189]

the screws are self tapping 1/4x20

[@gtolatino79]

I recently performed this job watching you video was very helpful but something when wrong because the trimmer will star up but it I'll cut off when squeezing the trigger and even when left alone idling. Do you have any idea what could be wrong? Any advice will be appreciated.

[@FIXTechGuides]

Thanks for the question. The repair center on our website might be able to help you with your repair. There are symptoms there that include "Starts but Immediately Dies" or "Runs for a While, Then Dies". Perhaps there is an answer there for you! www.ereplacementparts.com/repair-center/lawn-equipment/trimmer/

[@anthonybuchan972]

Did I miss something or did he just break it down and put it back together you skipped the maim part of video I guess

[@robertchall8576]

it probably be about as. cheap to by a new one.

[@conner5611]

Short block is 38$ a new trimmer is anywhere from 80 to over a hundred dollars

[@josem.2909]

@@conner5611 send a link, only ones I can find are $70

[@cryptkeeper4727]

What he is not mentioning is that with a new short block is that the holes are not tapped and threaded.
