In this video we'll open up the trigger handle and replace a spring. This Husqvarna 128LD trimmer will also get a new ignition module. Follow along as I get some "help" from a coworker. #smallenginerepair
Next thing you know I'll be dressing in costumes and performing skits! I've tossed the idea around about a second channel. More videos like the ones that started this channel.
Screws into plastic and even fine thread going into metal threaded holes I like to turn slowly backward until I hear or feel the threads "mate" before turning in. Prevents cross threading and double threading.
I usually don't turn them backwards until they won't go forward! While your method is completley correct, its hard for me to preach a method that I don't often use.
I would be prone to mixing-up the screw sizes if I just put them on the counter "greasy rag", especially if I were called away for awhile. I keep a small compartmented tray on the table for small jobs and have a muffin tin for the larger projects.
Have a 128ld that the cylinder has been replaced along with a new carb and spark plug. Have spark, fuel getting to cylinder, compression over 100psig. Can’t get engine to pop off much less start. Completely stumped. Any ideas?
@@TheGreasyShopRag thanks for the reply. cylinder installed with arrow towards exhaust like manufacturer recommended. Fly wheel key still in place (though it does show signs of wear), have spark, did a positive and negative pressure test on new cylinder when installed (both held well even when cylinder was turned to look for hidden air leaks). I’m completely stumped with this one.
@@TheGreasyShopRag it doesn’t seem that wet at all to me when I pull the plug out and check. I’ve even put a spritz of starter fluid in it (after pulling plug and letting it dry) and still can’t get it to attempt to pop off.
Now why would Husky put a needle bearing in a place that is impossible for the customer to easily grease? That bearing will dry out quickly. The more I think about it I think I know why....new trimmer sales!
Great info. Will try the block of wood tip. Always enjoy some good banter, makes your day better.
Much banter at our shop isn't family friendly although its getting better.
@@TheGreasyShopRag lol. That’s why you control the mic. Take care
You could have a separate channel for shop banter. Yes. I would subscribe.

@@TheGreasyShopRag All good. I came for that content and stayed for it all. No wrong answer.

@@TheGreasyShopRag And, my way is slow and not easily done with a battery tool.
@@rooster3019 Theres your million dollar idea. You need to invent a power screwdriver that turns backward until it feels the click then lets er eat!
@@TheGreasyShopRag Added feature; strip detection and auto reverse of 20 degrees if strip detected. No need for torque wrench!

I like puzzles.
Sweet!
Great Video!
Thanks for watching!
Nice Repair 😀😊😀
Thanks for watching!
Later!
The heat shield doesn’t do much. The cover gets too hot to put your arm on it. I’ve noticed the new models have a better design
I remember being on a lawn crew and all the trimmer guys wrapped a t-shirt around their right arm to keep from getting burned.

No spark or sheared flywheel key. Piston installed backwards. Crap fuel. Plugged spark arrestor screen. Massive air leak.

@@JDMc5827 Is it flooded so bad it won't pop?

@@JDMc5827 Are you using gasoline or canned fuel? Have you tried a different spark plug?

I guess some things just aren't easy to service.
What state do you live in?
I'm in central Wisconsin.
