Thank you, we these symptoms everyone else said spark arrestor, that was the first thing I checked. Uncrossed that fuel line and ran perfect. You have a new follower.
You might want to watch Chickanic's review of that canned premix fuel. I am with her. I mix my own fuel with non alcohol fuel. Alcohol is for drinking, not engines. I don't have a Stihl but I enjoyed and liked (thumbs up) your content.
I watched her video. That’s one persons Opinion. I have used the stuff For decades with no ill effects and recommend it. Go watch taryl fixes all review on it. It blew all the other brands out the water
@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 Chickanic has posted an updated test to the original video. She did another test of the canned fuel: ruclips.net/video/tu8VAA-x1vc/видео.html Not trying to argue with you, I only found the timing was quite on time for her to retest the canned premix fuel. TheMowerMedic1 and Chickanic are my go to guys for small engine expertise. I really like your content.
I wanted to thank you very much for this video. I was having trouble starting and keeping my fs45 running. I've owned the machine for years. About 3-4 years ago, I put in a replacement carb. It ran decent. Well, at the start of the season, I couldnt start it. So, I took the carb apart and cleaned most everything. Reassembled and it fired but it wouldnt stay running. I tried the idle and throttle settings with no success. I went online and was going to order a new carb kit, which came with new. fuel lines. I couldn't remember how to replace the fuel lines, so I found your video. I noticed how you explained how to routenthe one fuel line so I went out and checked. Sure enough, it was wrong. Corrected it and it fired right up, and ran perfectly. No new carb needed!!
Still had issues starting and running on my FS trimmer. I think the issue was in the fuel line. Maybe a hole or something, because it would fire and stall after primer gas ran out. I went to Amazon and found a Huztl carb kit for just $13, included a carb, fuel line, filters (air and fuel), spark plug , gaskets. Installed everything except the spark plug, since I have a nice NKG, and she fire right up, and ran perfectly! Also, dont forget to remove.the spark arrestor screen and bolt, and use a propane tank nor torch to burn away any carbon or oil on tje screen
If you’ll leave the carburetor about halfway down the threading posts with the carb tilted a little forward, push the throttle on the carb itself down a little bit, that cable will slide on with ease. No need for needle nose. Just a tip. Great video
@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 lol wow. Was “just a tip” bud chill out. Someone doesn’t like constructive criticism I see 🫣 when I get time, I’ll post it, if you really need me to show you that is. I feel as of my comment was clear and concise. Shouldn’t have trouble really picturing what I’m talking about lol smarty pants 🤦♂️
got a 56 that keeps dying whenever I give it throttle and the air filter isn't clogged so I'm guessing I need to either replace or clear out my fuel line? I wonder if the line is being pinched like he said and the bulb isn't able to clear it... need to get that sucker opened up now! thanks!
I really enjoy your videos. Great job. Let me ask a question, should a person run a weed trimmer or a riding lawnmower till it want go anymore, or should you sale it after a few years when you can still get good money for it and buy new ones ? I guess it depends on if you can afford to buy new and sale the couple year old equipment. What’s your opinion on when you should replace your equipment Thanks
How about someone like me that is not mechanical and physically able to work on a mower or trimmer. I have to take it to a local shop and they really over charge for everything they do. I feel like I just bought a new one every time I take them into the shop.
@@ToyotaTacoma1952 What does the shop say they do each time you have the mower or trimer "overhauled"? It should be written on the invoice for work completed. If it says "Replaced spark plug and air filter"..well you can do that too. If both machines work a couple of years/5 years between services at the shop....you are doing well... keeping the fuel clean and fresh is the prime thing you have control over even if you can do nothing else...

Thanks for an excellent video with great photography and clear descriptions. It really helped!
It is always good to know the proper way to do things. Thank you.
Finally found a site that knows how to do close up videoing for repair work. Good job sir.
Those little tricks are good too know . Thanks.
Love the fuel lines for this engine. Great job of explaining things to us. Thanks for the videos.

Realky cool video, Jeremy ease put the parts number for the fuel lines and fuel filter thanks!!! Keep up the good work!!!!
Th,ank you for the tutorial, I’m sure I’ll use this one day....😊
Remembering to screw the fuel cap back up....
Sounds like the Low, could have adjusted a bit. Lil hesitation on acceleration, even after the air filter was installed
As always Jeremy, a great video

This was very helpful. Thank you for sharing
Wish I'd seen this yesterday! I finally figured it out but after at least 10 trys!
By the magic of video the carburetor/ insulator block gasket found it’s way on 😊good info
Nice tip Jeremy, thank ya sir. 👍
Cool
Very helpful video, saved me a ton of time and inconvenience 👍🏻
I was looking to see how to reconnect the throttle line and the fuel lines. On a FS55 weed eater. It helped.
Thanks for sharing this 😊

Do you do you and I’ll do me. Make a video of this and post it to this comment. I want to see Mr. smarty britches.

Great video , I see you use the Tru=fuel . What do you think of it and do you use it on your own machines ? I like it and use it .
I eat it on my pancakes in the morning
Lol,nevermind I found out where they are lol!!!!
Thanks!

Quick question
If you received a weed eater(any brand) that has both hoses missing how do you tell which is which
Thanks good information
I really enjoy your videos. Great job.

Both my trimmer and my old lawnmower are over 20 years old I replaced them when they will not run anymore

If both machines work a couple of years/5 years between services at the shop....you are doing well...
keeping the fuel clean and fresh is the prime thing you have control over even if you can do nothing else...
If I were to replace the carburetor on my FS55, is there one you would recommend?
