$20 Weed Eater From Lowes - Is It JUNK?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 мар 2018
- Similar situation to the $25 generator that I got a while ago. This Husqvarna weed wacker was marked down because it was previously used. We try to get it running and cutting again.

I've never seen anyone have such good chemistry with their camera woman 😂
Well they are married so i would sure hope they have good chemistry

I know im randomly asking but does someone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I love any tricks you can give me
@Guillermo Maison instablaster :)
The piston looks scored so the preveous owner probably just ran pure gas through it.
Can confirm that's probably what happened. Did that on my first every (Luckily cheapo Chinese) chainsaw.
Yup, used un-mixed unleaded. Piston gone core-melting temp, probably locked up & people returned it like ThIsStUpIDtHiNgBrOkEnDoN'tWaNtAnYmOrE . Probably with new piston rings would be back to healty compression.
@@TheAndre8900 Yep, and then probably blamed (name your country of choice for cheap labor) for it being junk.
It looks like the 128LD which I bought from Lowes 5 years ago and has never failed to start right up and run well with a minumum of service. I recognize it partially because the starting instructions (which no one seems to look at) are right there on top. Reading and following them makes it miraculously start right up.
@@TheAndre8900 Husqvarna has a "Smart Start" system that makes it easy to pull. 90 psi is good because it's over 70 psi
Rewatching this after having knowledge of these engines
$20.00, no new parts & it cuts, great find! Nice idea with the giveaway.
Increases viewership and he can get rid of the thing knowing that's about as good as it's ever going to run.

I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use ruclips.net/user/postUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.
Returned used 2 stroke? Someone ran straight gas trough it.
lawnmowerdude if someone ran straight gas through it then it would be locked up
They might not have mixed enough oil
lawnmowerdude that gas wasn’t green green it had a blue tint to it before he put his mixed gas in it
@@SnapOffFilms store mechanic prolly added it for diagnostics duh
Garrett Downen a w stroke will run on straight gas for a while as I bought a 2 stroke rc car that was Run for 35 mins on straight gas but it works fine and starts a lot better than my others
You guys are literally my favorite channel. Don’t leave us hanging for so long!! Nothing like the clearance rack...always appreciate the content.
You just earned yourselves another subscriber with your well produced videos, charming banter and quality pointers. This is the first one I ran into, and if the rest are nearly this good I’m in for a treat.
Love watching your videos! You guys put a smile on my face every time. I have absolutely no interest in fixing engines. Your banter is what makes this so great. Keep it up!
If you ever run into that problem though get carb cleaner and spray it in the jets don't touch the mixture screw
I’m just 3000 miles out in sFla. This is an easy piece to fix. Wish my luck was as good as yours!
Camera girl Rocks!!!
Let her fix things, Camera Girl Garage!
Hey Jenny, ask him if he checked the tank cap for a breather hole. Sometimes the manufacturer is careless and doesn't conduct QA on the rubber seal. If air can't get in then fuel can't get out to the carb. It'll run for a couple of minutes then cavitate and starv for fuel. I miss you guys, keep 'em coming.
I came across this channel randomly cause of the generator vid and stuck around for a few more. Glad I did! Pretty entertaining! You guys make a great team and you explain things well while being sorta funny without trying to hard! I think I’ll hang around for a bit! 😁
I live in Nebraska, but that's ok. Last year I found a ryobi multi head with 3 attachments hanging out of someones trash can. $6 for a replacement gas line and filter kit and 45 mins later I had a fully working trimmer, edger & leaf blower/ vacuum. God bless people who don't want to work on their stuff.
Edward Howard I got one sitting on curb. I think it had a new carb and fuel lines. The problem was one of the fuel lines wasn't connected.
I was so excited for another video, I pulled on to the shoulder of the road to watch this.
Todd m yea bro. Lmfao
I been there
Safe travels
Todd, you still alive?
Missed you two!!! Thanks for the upload👍✌
This is the first video by these folks that I've watched. Glad I did. It was informative and the banter between the lady and the guy made this a very enjoyable video. Whoa sorry about your hair loss there sir.. But I really don't think it matters to her... Think ya got a keeper. Ha Ha.
Loved the recap and other possible problems piece. Really helps me as I continue path of knowledge. Love all your videos
It runs and it probably got plugged up with the excess hair falling out of your head.
We have missed you man. Hope you are OK! Good to see you again.
Your adjustment screw modification is awesome! No special tools needed! :D
one time my dad had a weed eater that no small engine shop could get running so he let me mess with it as a kid and take it apart and go figure i pull it apart and it had a wasp nest in the muffler and i removed it and it started right up
Not going to lie these videos make me want to get some project trimmers.
"I'd climb the highest ocean for you" . Thanks for the laugh and new phrase I plan to steal.
Literally the best editing I’ve ever seen on RUclips
I do enjoy your vids. The fun banter between you and your wife makes it more entertaining. I wish I lived with in that 250 mile range but alas I live almost on the east coast. Keep up the good work and good times.
Sounds like every other weed wacker out there 😂 that's how they all run after the first 10 mins of it's life
Cape Cod Canal Fishing buy redmax brand....best one around...better than Echo or Stihl
Stihl makes junk too now I got a dead China stihl... Well I did
Buy a corded electric one and solve the problem permanently.
Atomic Reverend Alexander Weak tho
Cape Cod Canal Fishing People do not even know how to use them anyways. They dump straight gas into them and burn them up. I get handed so many of these things every season. I put a $12 rebuild kid in them and off they run. People do not realize they need adjustments and they dont read the manual. Instead of taking the time to read the manual and take the time to learn how they run, they put them in the trash. Bas gas makes the diaphragm weak and these things quit working. I have plenty of them for sale every year. I always say they are like a bic lighter, when they run out of gas, throw them out and get a new one. Its great for me anyways. I have learned to buy carb kits in bulk, most carbs all take the same kit. Some kits come with parts for 6 different carbs, just pick out what parts go where and boom! Off it goes. Then its money in the bank.
Cape Cod Canal Fishing Yea ive got two and both run like that, not idling for shat but with throttle skills you can still use them 😁
When i was a small engine mechanic we never messed with 2 stroke carbs. New carbs cost a whole lot less than an hour of shop time.

Uhhh man my day is complete. I have missed your videos and all the comity that comes with them!!
That "hair off my back" comment cracked me up.
Love your videos!!!
So glad your back. Been missing your videos and want to see the kawasaki on the road.
I have the Husqvarna 4 Stroke and it's great the Engine is made by Honda as well I was tired of messing with 2 Stroke I always maintain it with ethanol free fuel and full synthetic oil.
Man, you are so passionate in the work you do. Very inspirational.. makes me want to learn how to put stuff together with my wife.
Jersey here, I subscribed because of the Lowe's generator video then binge watched the rest. I learned a lot!
The idea is to take the rubber components out before cleaning the carburetor, and replace them when you reassemble it.
Where's the Shasta trailer? I was hooked on those and was left hanging. Lol
Montoya Manor that's how I found them!I hope they still have it and will give us updates
Montoya Manor left hanging is right 😢
Waiting for a video of yours is like waiting for a bike part to get delivered. And I can wait for bike parts tie get delivered. Hats how much I like your content
Really love ur videos keeps u guessing and that’s what keeps me watching awesome job from one mechanic to another
Clean the exhaust Port is probably half full of carbon which is open it up
I live in Washington DC will I qualify to win😜Awesome video my friend
I never comment on videos..but my weed eater broke a couple of days ago I cleaned the carb put it back and nothing. I came across this video and I had crossed the fuel lines now it works lol. Thank you so much.
you two have a superb attitude and are really good for the morale of your viewers. Thanks, I needed a good chuckle and you provided it for me.:):):)
I never knew that about carb cleaner thanks.
Camera girl sounds hilarious. Good Job.
Ok. Pretty good videos you two are making, made me laugh several times this morning, thanks.
Your videos are a lot of fun to watch because the interaction between your self and your wife.
Keep the videos coming!!!
Your hair, it's so full, thick and complete.
Dave Spooney just like his life. Meanwhile I’m sitting in bed watching a dude fix things as I leave my broken pressure washer, lawnmower and chainsaw sitting in my garage lol
@@timhanby5662 10% of the satisfaction with 0% of the work!
Check the exhaust screen. If clogged it will create that bog
I wuss thinking the same thing
I F'n hate spark arrestors but since I'm an arborist and do commercial mowing and blah blah blah I have to keep them. They don't say I can't modify the exhaust though
I am going to check mine now.
Also this is a cheap husqvarna not a pro modle
mackRseries He needs to adjust the carb thats all thats wrong now.
So much energy in one video 👍 keep up the work you two
Just found your channel by happenstance. I am a lawn care nut, but I won't hold it against you. 😉 subscribed! Simply because I thought ya'll have a good attitude about things, and your randomness is much like the randomness my wife and I share, as well.
Nice video!
Yo I just subscribed your channel strictly base on the dry humor between you and your wife i thought you all were funny funny
BE blessed Jah Rastafari Salassie I JAH
Did you check if the muffler was full of oil and crap. Those husky engines are bad for getting crap in the exhaust.
Snap !
I think the jets could be plugged up to or they might need tuned
I love your videos, I live in Victoria Australia. Please keep doing more. You explain everything very clear.
This is fast becoming my favourite channel.
You’re alive! What’s happened to you hair?
Aliens
Adubs aliens
your* XD
I am sorry I had to

His Double strength Propecia and Rogaine are working!
Im from sac too. Just randomly ran into your video. Great video love the sence of humor from both if you haha.
I have this trimmer. It's been fantastic, ever since I bought the proper $8 tool to adjust the carb. I've had it for 5 or 6 years and it's starts great every time. I use the canned premix Husqvarna fuel.
when you get a lowes ad before the video
"Starts on choke, put it on half choke and see what happens"... Yeah, that clearly seen label at 2:05... helpful LOL I have the same model. I fought mine like an idiot leaving choke on full trying to get it to start... ended up snagging a fingernail on the vented cover and ripping it (my nail) part off... a couple hours and cuss words later, read the label... followed that and for over a year no problem ever starting.
Dude I love your videos. Awesome. Keep posting sir.
I'm 69 ,doing my own yard, I have 3 weed eaters that I cant use ,due to the heads & how they run..lol however I truly enjoyed your lol videos,,you explained it better then others have. I liked the comics.😁
"Finish me...I'm so close"... that's what she said ;)
Sorry, had to
Youre supposed to take the rubber components off the carb before you use carb cleaner. Other than that great job!
he spends like 2 minutes talking about how its not safe on rubber what are you on about
@@ChrisBlagdonIsABoss Yea. You take the rubber parts off of the carb and dont spray them with carb cleaner. Carb cleaner is made to clean out the build up in the ventures of a carb, while you use less caustic products on the rubber components.
I looked at the video to see new tricks with trimmer but I was amazed how cool you were so I kept it on, lol.
It's so funny. I have been searching on RUclips for several days looking for a solution to fix my String Trimmer. Some things you did made me re-check certain parts of my trimmer. And behold, I end up finding that one of my fuel lines weren't fully connected. Thanks for making the video, otherwise I wouldn't have figured it out! HAHA BTW It is fully functioning and strong!!
Him: How's yer appetite?
Her: *pans camera down* Mmmm.. lacking..
🤣
Thats why it stop running staight gas in 2 stroke is a no no
Keep up the good work. You make some great, informative videos for DIYers like myself. Don't take another month off!
I love these story videos.. Keep them coming.
"I Don't Really Care About What You Think" Haha
This Is The Exact Humor I Share With My Wife :)
Good Video..
I live 285 miles from you. In Kern county california
You guys are absolutely hilarious! Thanks for the vid!
I do small engine repair myself and now am considering making repair videos. Adjusting your high and low on the carb will make it run properly and get the most out of what's left of the engine as well as remedy the hard starts. You covered just about the rest of the vitals. Clean it up and it could sell easy between 120 to 150 if you weren't giving it away. 100 profit isn't bad for a 19 dollar investment and a few hours of labor. Good video.
Adjust the idle screws low and high itll rev faster thats what my $10 weed eater needed
Set the hi mixture for highest RPM's at full- throttle. Set lo for highest RPM's at idle.
@@hankbridges5055 not stupid been working on this stuff for 4 years
You should just mess with those screw's, I had the identical problem when it ran on dry gasoline (no oil).
Leon Boerkamp no you have to adjust the two screws for the gas and oil at the exact spot until it runs perfect it happens to me millions of times when I am doing projects it happens so yeah your right
No oil will lock up the engine permanently 😕
No, I mean no oil in the gas. Some pretty bad scoring happend
No oil in gas will lockup a 2 stroke
My uncle put regular gas in my dads 2 stroke moped locked it up dad was like did you put oil in it lol
You guys need to upload more...you'd have so many more subscribers. Love your videos as always!
I love you guys. I have zero interest in fixing a string trimmer, but the dialogue is just too fun.
I’d love to enter the contest, but I think Instagram is lame and refuse to join it! Lol
heck, i'm excited, and i'm old!
You guys are awesome. Really chill about things especially your balding lifestyle.
LOL, you guys are nuts. Another great video by the way, and G'Day from Australia :D
Y'all sound good doing a duet.
Definity a California boy, the damn thing is running lean, all you have to is to set the high-speed jet.
I had this same weed eater. It's would never start for me.
Why did I watch this and smiles so much? Thx
Y'all are awesome, reminds me of me and my buddy. You got a new subscriber here.
Carb cleaner is good for killing wasps too.
Thank you uncle tony
I believe I know your exact issue...because I have the exact weed eater and it happened to me!
Check inside your gas tank. There (should) be a (fuel filter or an aerator) attached to the end of one of the fuel lines going into the tank. MINE WAS OFF! The fuel line had completely rotted inside of the tank within two seasons of having the machine. I was going crazy trying to figure out what in the heck was wrong with my (brand new) weed eater! Drained the tank of gas and there was something rolling around in the tank! My bigger issue was that the fuel line was rotten. The cheapest fuel line possible! I know you said you don't want to spend any money, but a buck or two from the hardware store won't break ya and will leave you with an excellent weed eater :) I hope this comment finds you!
he showed the fuel filter and fuel lines near the end of this video
i love they way y'all joke with each other.fun to watch.
I remember watching the old garage door opener a while back and sense then I’ve been hooked
Wow Jake missed you!
Adjust the L screw on the carburetor.
Your videos are really quite entertaining :)
Love the video, you guys are great!
I only live about 2500 miles away... Can I have it???
Are you stupid
I bet the previous owner used unmixed gasoline and ran it without oil. Then returned it. Sheesh.
Voluntarist yeah right its a two stroke i did Not think about that
Voluntarist That's possibility ,but I'm leaning toward not enough oil. Maybe a lean mixture ,such as 100:1.
This situation is how I got a free leaf blower, a little oil down the intake and it fired right off.
Propel use to buy push mowers and not put the oil in them and lock them up and then return them at a place I worked at. So then they had us start putting the oil in the push mowers for them.
You look exactly like my uncle lol but this is a great video and I would like to see more videos like this :)
Another great video. Thanks guys, you make me smile
Oh my God you have hair again

Awe i don’t live near or have grass but I would have harvested the engine and make a small power generator
Noober Filmz That sounds like an amazing idea and recycling
Noober Filmz I like your idea. But will you win it? 🤭
Jam Playz Win or don’t win it’s an idea and a project I’m whiling to spend money on and make it real.
I did that :)
I have engine from the same model that i could just send you. For real! Don't know if its complete or fixable. But hey free is free. Just PM me.
