Great vids brother! Much appreciated
Thanks for watching!
Hey I subscribe man I like how you were very elaborate in the instructions And especially with the fuel filter in the fuel lines I had mine actually backwards
Glad to have helped and thanks for subscribing!
Great video. Can’t figure, take off a known and buy something cheaper. They are very easy to do.
I have the same trimmer and I’ve gotten a new carb for it as I was didn’t feel like rebuilding the old, but it won’t start unless on half choke and when it does it won’t take any throttle. Any idea what could be the problem
Reverse the fuel lines
Just tuned in. Did carb, fuel lines,sparkplug replacement. Fires up but only runs full and half choke. Where to start with tune on low,high screws
If it only runs on half choke then it needs more fuel. Open the hi 1/4 to half turn and see if it gets better.
@@TheGreasyShopRag so clockwise on the high?
@@land471 No. Counter clockwise opens/richens the mixture. The hi is closest to the air filter.
@TheGreasyShopRag OK will do and let u know! Thanks for responding
Worked as long as I jog or keep throttle up. Stalls at idle?
Ultrasonic cleaner is that a special machine? I learn so much from your channel
You might enjoy checking out the channel Vintage Engine Repairs. Tom does a great job educating on most things small engine related. Here is his video on ultrasonic cleaners.

which screw have you move in the finale part of the video? L or H? Did you open it? Thank. Blesses from Argentina
Yes I opened the Hi speed screw.
Good work pal
Thanks for watching!
You Ever Notice on These The Fuel lines Degrade and There Inner Casing of The Line is Separated From The Outside of The Fuel Lines Causing a Restriction I’ve also Seen it on The 125B Blowers and Some Saws 😩😳
Ya, not a fan of that type fuel hose.
If I dont have an Ultrasonic Cleaner can I just use spray in Carb Cleaner? I have this same model with the same problem. I changed the sparkplug but it still has the issue, has to be the carb since Ive used it for over 9 years without service lol.
Spray carb cleaner can work as well or better than an ultrasonic cleaner but it won't fix other issues like a stiff metering diaphragm. Of course the ultrasonic wont fix that either.
I put a new spark plug, air filter, fuel filter and carburetor on mine. It still stalls when choke is off.
Some possibilities include carb adjustment, hole in fuel line, air leak in engine, heavy load on engine(scored cylinder, bad bearing or bad clutch spring). Another thought is to confirm proper choke operation. That choke lever can get wonky.
@@TheGreasyShopRag thank you
Working on a TB22 Troy Bilt trimmer The coil is bad. Work just to look at it. Do you have a video about removing the clutch? It is really really stuck on. Normally I lock the piston and tap it. But not this one.
I don't have a video but if I remember right I usually use an adjustable wrench on one of the clutch lugs with a rope in the cylinder.
@@TheGreasyShopRag thank you. I was thinking about trying that. Friend or no friend…..see one….turn and run screaming. LOL. Not hard just time consuming
@@steveriggenbach90Hourly shop rates have turned many of these repairs into homeowner projects and think thats the biggest part of my audience.
@@TheGreasyShopRag Halfway through, he remembered it’s under warranty. So he asked me to just put it all back together again. Smile on my face I said sure.
@@steveriggenbach90 Lol!
good job,except not showing adjusting the carb screws while running,which is kind of important!
Mine used to run on half chock. Now it won't even start.. wjat could it be
Its starving for fuel. Check the filter, lines and carb.
Great video straight to the point [ nice]
Thanks for watching!
was very help full @@TheGreasyShopRag
What is that cordless screw driver you're using?
I get asked this a lot. I found it on amazon and picked it out amongst the many styles available. Unfortunately it seems to have been discontinued.
Knowing me, I’m probably one of the ones that has already asked. On the way home from work today I had the thought that I needed to stop and grab some beer. I haven’t drank in about six years. I’m getting potato brains
@@BruceLyeg My short term memory is getting bad but worse than that, my short term memory is getting bad.
Yes, i like puzzles! 😄
Lol!
Where did you get the gasket kit?
We are a dealer and have suppliers that only service dealers.
"If you like puzzles, you'll like this"
lol, I do like puzzles, but what I like more is to buy a weedeater and it works first pull every time and doesn't only run in half choke straight out of the box XD.
Instead I have one that since day one only runs if you pull in full choke until it tries to start,
then one more pull in half choke, then one more in no choke, then finally one more pull in half choke and it runs but even then it tries to die if you don't hold down the gas for 30-40 seconds.
It is a shame that Craftsman used to be recognized as a cheaper but the quality of Snap-On, and now it is only Chinese made dogshit.
Same thing happened to Porter Cable. Used to be quality tools then got bought out but they kept the name and now they make shit tools and only half the tools they used to in order to force you to go with their equally as crappy quality Craftsman tools. lmfao
I suspect your half choke weed eater was not bought from a dealer that made an initial carb adjustment. That may be all it needs.
