Need advice on how to fix a homelite weedeater?
I'm having problem with my 2004 Homelite Twist 'n Edge weedeater, I acquired it from a friend that had it sitting around for 8 months. He had it working before it went into storage. I've cleaned the unit in general, cleaning off all old oil residue, cleaned out the gas tank, replace the fuel filter, replaced the spark plug, primer bulb and have put on new gas lines. The unit will run on half choke but only on full throttle it will not idle, nor will it run on full choke or in the run position. What do I need to do to the unit to get it running like it should be. Money's tight and I can't go and buy a new one. Some friend's have just bluntly said maybe the carburetor needs cleaned but I don't know how to do that, so if that's the case can you tell me how. Also the owner's manual is no help on trying to clean the carburetor. Thank you in advance for all help and support!
Pull the air filter. Try running without air filter. If runs. You found your problem. Need to clean or replace air filter. If not there should be a small hole. That goes directly into carb. Get some choke and carb cleaner you can get at any automotive parts store or mass merchandise stores auto department. Spray directly into hole. Let sit for awhile a half hour or hour. Try starting. If it runs ok you are done. If you are still having problems try running it and pumping the primer bulb. This flushes the carb as it is running. How is running now? Hopefully by now we have got evrything out of the carb. And the machine is running ok.
Next. This something best left to a technician. And cost can be prohibitive. You might just need a whole new carb and you can buy a new unit for the cost to have one replaced. there are adjustment screws on carb but because of EPA they require a special screwdriver but I have been able to adjust them with a regular screwdriver. It takes very little adjustment and trial and error. It sounds like a choke adjustment and there or two screws one choke and one carb. You need to adjust the choke one. It is best to have unit running while adjusting so you figure what is happening as turn the screws and remember very small adjustments. less then a 1/8 of a inch can make a difference in a small carb like this. this is precision work. that is why I recommend a technician
