What size ball lock connector to use? Any gas leaks? Is everyone else experiencing that or should I try to redo my connections?

As for the slow leak, the part line from the mold continues under the "O" ring on both sides giving the gas an escape route under the "O" ring. I removed the "O" ring and scraped off the (burr, flashing, part-line or whatever you call it) in the groove and the leak stopped. It is part of the molding process that really should be removed in the manufacturing process. I called and was told that it was too expensive to remove them? So they leak.

More info needed. It could be hose thread or M22 and anything in between. What is the application? What are you connecting to and is it under pressure?

if you have an intex pool, all of the needed parts and connectors are in the box or use the ones that currently exist on your pool. I didn't have anyconnection issues when i hooked mine up.

it may be a bad female connector but look at the male connector inlet tip for visible damage, it could be the source of your leak.

It's just a common garden hose connector. I used a little Teflon plumbers tape to get a good seal, otherwise the plastic connector with the metal hose end had a little drip. (Which dripped into the catch bucket so no big deal.)

Thanks for your response. I bought one of these connectors but it was the wrong size, too small to fit the one I had. I am looking for the right one to fit my existing connector.

Be sure you're using good fresh 40:1 gas mix. If you aren't sure you can always buy some of the premixed stuff from the big box home improvement store. The other big thing is the choke on this is a bit tricky, make sure you pull it all the way out (the stop lever moves up into the running position when the choke is pulled all the way) then after a few pulls slowly press it back in to half choke, that is about 3/4 of the way back in. I start mine with the chain brake off, not sure if thats proper or not.

Hello Vikas, firstly you need to determine the source of the leak. It is most likely from one of the connections. Try to isolate which one. If that is the case you can easily fix it yourself by checking each one and making sure that they are tight. If it is coming from the body of the unit then you should return it because that would mean that the product is defective. The instructions aren't great. I would gladly send you a picture of the unit already connected so that you could see it more easily but I don't think there is a way of attaching a picture to my answer. Best of luck.

the connectors in the kit won't do it. You would need the 3/8" male quick connect fitting. But I'm not sure I'd trust just any old connector. Normally they are made for compressed air, and you would have to find ones made for LP gas use. Be careful, with that many connections, you'd be asking for leaks. If you do it, put a shut off at the source so you can shut the whole hose down.

First of all, is this a brand new unit? What octane and are you using? Did you use a 50-1 husqvarna oil mix? Is this fresh gas or a year old? Did you prime it before trying to start it? Was the plug wet when you took it out? Did it ever try to start?

I bought mine recently (end of last year) and the ball lock connector locks into place.

Where exactly is it leaking, the hose connections? Did you use plumbers seal tape on the connectors? If not, you need to wrap the threads with it then screw on the hoses or you will get leaks.

Thank you for inquiry. This NGK plug comes as the factory pre-gapped but it is always good to physically check the Gap as it may have shifted during transportation. Please, see below spec;Thread Size: 10mmHex Size: 5/8" (16mm)Reach: 19mm (3/4")Seat Type: GasketGap: .032" (0.8mm)Heat Range: 9Thread Pitch: 1.0mmDon't hesitate to contact us if we may further assist you. Thank you.

I had the same problem. I don,t think things were metric but I used plumbers tape and tightened the connection as best I could. 18 months later it still works and no leaks.

I had the same problem, because of the bottom rubber gasket that makes it really hard to screw down tightly. I solved it by getting rid of the gasket and using plumbers putty instead. No leaks.

Same drain system as usual, but never had a leak issue... Check and make sure the o ring is in good shape and push the plug in tight before reinstalling the u shaped pin...

I went out and looked at my connection, and had to laugh. I now remember the pain. My line from the utility is a female quick connect. My line from the grill was way larger, and there are about 5 brass fittings in between to get it to downsize and result in a male/ female proper interconnect. It's not rocket science, but takes some thought. For some reason, I think this is complicated between British (Weber) and U.S. normal configs. Again, a good store that sells grills and a picture and measurement of your two starting ends (grill and gas connection) will help.
