Trimmer done. Carb needed a ton of work. But what concerns me was I replaced all fuel lines. Bought from 2 local shops. Both yellow tygon. One though w/o dimensions printed on outside. That one turned almost clear and got mushy. That’s where gas was from, then going over hot muffler. What are the ways to tell if it’s quality over the knockoff? Thanks.
I'm not sure because I don't think we ever got any imitation hose. I'm sure our distributors watch out for that and know they wouldn't be our distributors anymore if they sent us crap.
I prefer genuine Tygon fuel line. I purchase 10-foot lengths of 4 different sizes so I have some on hand for any small 2-stroke application. BEWARE!!! - there are definitely Chinese knockoffs marketed as tygon (lower case letters!!!), but they are not genuine Tygon (a registered trademark name), so make sure you purchase from a seller who is reputable. I check the photographs before purchasing to confirm the lines they're selling have the white manufacturer name (Saint-Gobain) and other line-specific markings on them. I then check what is delivered to make sure someone's not playing games. The knockoffs have no markings whatsoever. There are very specific reasons why I prefer genuine Tygon as opposed to OEM black line. I can see fuel flowing through when confirming the fuel system is working as it should. When installing on carbs with a purge bulb this makes it simple to check that you've got the lines on correctly and that the fuel is flowing the way it's supposed to. I also like that when the line eventually becomes old it turns color. That visual change is an immediate sign to me that the integrity of the lines (and the purge bulb - same thing) are suspect and the time to replace is probably not far off. Black OEM lines are fine, but eventually they do become affected by fuel, softening at critical locations (getting loose on nipple connections, for example) but you can't see that happening until they develop leaks, which you then have to diagnose and locate.
@@Rein_Ciarfella both local reputable dealers. First bad from the one. I will let them know. Thanks for the info. They open a box or from a roll , cut and hand it to you. I know about telling the bad from the good before installation. Haven’t any bad purge bulbs YET. I even test the fuel filters any more. Take care.
Loving these videos dude. Very informative, thankyou
Thanks for watching!
Smart thinking holding the kill switch while using the impact on it. I'd bet more than a few people have started the engine while taking that bolt out
Yes but you only make that mistake once!
Throws greasy shop rag on bench. That’s done! 😉👍🔧
Again, s ton of information. Thank you. Always a thumbs up, are there other things to help your channel?
Nope. Just spread the word if you're getting something out of my videos. Thanks.
Nicely done number one!
Thanks for watching!
Love your videos what kind and where did you get your flex inspection light?? Thanks
Its a Streamlight 65418 Stylus Long Reach light. Note that it uses AAAA batteries.
Thank you sir I'm a tech and sure need one of them will be in box before long👍💯
Why do some of the shop manuals recommend against using an impact to remove the clutch? Are they assuming they you are using a piston stop?
Piston stop would be one reason. Some also claim that using an impact can shear the flywheel key although I've never experienced that.

@@TheGreasyShopRag By memory, to help someone, it was more supple/soft and easier to cut. There weren’t any dimensions printed on the outside.

@@Rein_Ciarfella The ability to see fuel flow really is an advantage. Thanks for the tips about knockoff Tygon.
Was that lithium grease in the push pump?
I think it was. I probably had a partial tube left over from an ice saw build and refilled the pump.
👍
Thanks for watching!
I Hate This Particular Model Husqvarna Saws With a Passion They Really are Abominations to Work on 😩😩😩
I've worked on enough to not notice how much they suck.
