  • Bought a $15 kit and installed it today on my 25cc Homelite weed eater. It worked great.
  • @ozzstars_cars
    I bought the exact same brand/type weedwacker about 14 years ago, still runs like a champ. Never overhauled the carb. It has always idled a little bit high since day one. Good video
  • @drewswanson8142
    Thank you. Before buying a whole new unit, I will try a $15 new carb. Appreciate that you share your expertise. New subscriber, here.
  • @jbmbblb14
    Just today got one of those weedeaters running good a year or so after my neighbor brought it home for me to see what I can do with it. Does good.
  • This was a very help full video.. Thanks for the tip. My screen was pluged too but now it runs like new..
  • @ryotaryuu
    Just put a new carb on my st-155. It came with carb, gaskets, new fuel lines, fuel filters, spark plug, and carb adjustment tool. The kit was $13. Runs better than it ever has.
  • @DayClanTribe
    May be unrelated but fixed similar motor yesterday, wouldn't rev up all the way and discovered blocked spark arrestor on muffler. Solid carbon from likely too much oil in mix from previous owner. Found an awesome fix holding screen/arrestor with needle nose pliers up to propane torch. Burns red/orange hot and incinerates all deposits. Runs like a charm now. Cheers!
  • @jimmyz9674
    Thanks for the helpful video. I just got one one of these at work a guy was throwing in the dumpster. Gas in it was like green/black sludge. Gonna fart around with it and try cleaning the carb and fuel filter. It runs if you keep moving the choke after some fresh gas.
  • @adrianfarr9927
    Great video. My 10 year old Ryobi was stalling under throttle, found that the small screen was fully clogged. A bit of a clean up and reassemble and I'm back in business!
  • @rrurban
    My Homelite will start but won't stay running. Found the inlet fuel line broke off inside the tank. Replaced it along with the included fuel filter. Still won't run. 12 bucks for a new carb? Done!! Thanks for this video man!
  • @alssmallengines
    Great fix! the grease is a good tip, I've had those springs pop out on me before.
  • @Jim-ie6uf
    Man that was “fast”, but that fuel line puller you made replacing lines super easy! Use mine all the time.
  • @aleblanc3547
    Very nice video that proves it might be worth cleaning the carb, even on the least expensive weed wacker. Congrats too on the 30K subs...it'd be great if you could hit 50K by the end of the year....you deserve it and your videos are definately worth it.
  • Carefully break off the plastic caps over the mixture screws. That what I did and I turned out the Mixture Screw . And now it runs great.
  • @edharry3984
    W/D 6 your videos are very helpful on snowblowers,mowers now 2 cycle engines.I have a Homelite 26cc Mighty Gas Blower. Sure looks like the same Carb. It does not have a throttle but, notch style speed adjustment .The lines were rotted,I changed those ,Cleaned the in tank filter ,then the primer bulb broke.I changed that,Now it Bogs.I should have just bought a new Carb@ EBay ,just over $10. Shipped.You are Right, anything more than minor cleaning,Just replace the Carb.. Thanks for the Info,E
  • @timkorth
    Thank you for the video. Was able to get mine to run thanks to you. Was about to throw it in the garbage. Only took about 30 minutes.

    grouse work mate cheers from Australia 🐨🐑🦘🌴🌏 or the land down under to your area and yep even our Homelite F2020 Whipper Snippers as we call them here will often have the same technique and i find using some silicone spray often helps drive in new fuel lines and the fuel filter and by cutting the fuel line on a angle to the fuel tank ports to where they go into for a nice tight seal and also a heat gun often helps too etc.
