Unit will not start cleaned plug remapped to.025 cleaned filter and re adjusted carb screw to book specs

Ned, I'm no mechanic, but I can tell you what happened to mine. Same problem, very hard to start and then to keep running. In a nutshell, I was using regular gasoline which in a few short months caused an air leak by eating into the seal on the carberator plate cover. You might want to check and see if you have any leakage on the bottom of the carb plate. I replaced the gasket and started using Alcohol free gasoline (which the literature says to use) and have had no futher problems. Starts easy, runs great, without the constant priming. BTW - I found that Dealers will not cover any gasoline areas under warranty.

1) make sure your fuel mixture is correct - you may have too much oil which would foul the plug 2) in the choke position, prime it 5 or 6X and check to see fuel flows (bulb should fill and you should see it flow in the fuel line,) if it is not flowing your problem is in the fuel line 3)squeeze the trigger and pull the starter coil until it tries to start 4) place the choke in half position and pull the start coil - it should start. 5) after it warms up 20-30 secs choke to run position. Note:Check that your air filter is clean as well - you can remove the sponge filter to see that your choke is working properly when moving the choke lever. 1) make sure your fuel mixture is correct - you may have too much oil which would foul the plug 2) in the choke position, prime it 5 or 6X and check to see fuel flows (bulb should fill and you should see it flow in the fuel line,) if it is not flowing your problem is in the fuel line 3)squeeze the trigger and pull the starter coil until it tries to start 4) place the choke in half position and pull the start coil - it should start. 5) after it warms up 20-30 secs choke to run position.

Make sure when you put the new filter in, you can see the 200 through the top little window, then you know you put it in correctly. Then, it should screw on.

Mine works fine. I'd suggest contacting B&D; direct or take it to a local B&D; service center.

Try playing with the choke or disconnect the low oil sensor wire (female male plug). They say that metal particles in the oil affects the sensor. After the first 5 hours of run time you should do an oil change

Thats odd. I had no such issue. I would have a look on Google and see if there are any forums that show such issues with your car / model. Did you start car before plugging in? What happens then?

Replace the o2 sensor first. Cat converter is a whole lot more expensive and may be be unneccesary.

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?

It appears to be an exact plug and play replacement. I would give it a shot, based on your model documentation I found on a Sear's website... Good Luck

i'm mechanically inclined so i'd tear it apart and find the problem area. start at the back of the unit and follow the owners manual breakdown of parts (schematic).

I sold my unit and bought another brand, so I have nothing to look at to help you. Your best bet might to to find one on display at a store and look at it or check youtube. There are carb rebuild videos on youtube.

Wow. That's exactly the problem I am left with. I've re-visited my install as I kept thinking that there was something I wasn't doing right. You've actually helped me! Since the original sat flush now I'll dig out the old gaskets and see if it'll seat properly and re-use them. If you find a solution do let me know. Thanks. Jean

I have the same exact problem. Trade Station suggests replacing the motor and if that doesn't work replace the diverted.

Had the exact same thing happen. It was still under the 1 year warenty so we took it to a repair shop. Bad carburetor. Now it starts normal again.

deborah, i have the same engine & when i opened the pkg, it was missing a carb. i called the shipper & one was sent that week, no questions asked. if your engine is out of warranty have you tried tightening the housing bolts. if not out of warranty call the shipper & you should get the same service i did, hope this helps,

I don't know. But what I did Was I removed the current filter and got the part number off the existing filter.

Try turning unit with wrench that came with it. Wrench goes in bottom of unit in middle. Work back and forth until unit turns easily. Should solve your problem. It is either stuck or clogged.

You may need to change the throttle cables and will have to change the air cleaner. Especially the support bracket.
