Just run across your channel, a bit different from others in a good way. I was searching for an answer as to why my Husqvarna SL125e doesn't have spark. I replaced the original with one off of the Internet which looks exactly like the original set the gap to the thickness of a credit card, reassembled, still no spark. Eliminated kill wire, still nothing. I am ready to try another module. Have you done any videos on these spark modules. Thanks for your channel.
Great video. I’ve seen all sort of slimes and colors. I associate green with ethanol. I have never used iso for a lubricant. Look at brown staining differently. You help bundle things I’ve seen in the past.
@@TheGreasyShopRag time for experiment time. Aka play time. I can assume it cleaned. I would measure the od before and after. Does it make it sticky?? Etc
This is what ethanol (alcohol) in our fuels do to small engines. Soon as I saw that slime on the micro screen, ethanol pulls in water from the air and creates that slurry. And it dissolves those hoses. Surprised the primer bulb was cracked. Good fix.
another helpful diagnostic and repair vid! I have a stihl FS55r trimmer, leaks fuel out the top of tank and the green fuel line grommet. I replaced the fuel ine and its leaking again. can it be siliconed?
Some don't realize they are when they go to the pump and fill a one gallon can from a single hose dispenser and get whatever blend the last guy was pumping.
I've been using E10 for my equipment for at least 15 years. There's been a ton of research on the effects on small engines and any equipment manufactured this century should have no issues. E10 can absorb 5,000 ppm of water before water separation occurs - straight gas can only handle 300 ppm. My takeaway is it's more important to use fresh gas and keep your caps tight than buy expensive fuel.
The man, the myth, the legend. 🤣😂🤣 Scott you need that shirt.
oh brother.
I have this 128L in my garage now, in need of this exact fix. I'll order a gasket kit for the carb and get it cleaned out. Thanks for posting this!
Thanks for watching!
Sounds great!
Great Job on The Lawn Mower Detective In Detecting The 2 Year Vintage Old Fuel and Plugged Micro Screen 😊😀😎👍🏼 Scott
Thanks for tuning in this morning!
Great fix, Scott 👍🏼
Thank you.
Bless As usual- ENJOYED THE Video. Thanks 😊
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time.
Thanks! Scott!
Thanks for watching!
I use soapy water as the lube for grommets and tygon tube.
@rooster3019 That's a great idea and I already keep a bottle of Mr Bubbles near the bench for pressure tests.
@@TheGreasyShopRag After all, tha tis what RuGlide is, glycerin soap in water.
i used the same and works great
Another nice job fella.
Thanks for watching!

@karlschwab6437 What kind of equipment is a sl125? Never heard of it.
My Husqvarna SL125e is a lawn edger that I am currently working on as a hobby.
@@karlschwab6437 Well sorry I don't have any lawn edger videos. I googled that model and can't find it. Are you in north america?
@@TheGreasyShopRag oops! That should have been 125e, no Sl. It is a Husqvarna lawn edger. I am in Michigan.
@@karlschwab6437 I haven't done a video on that exact model.

I was recently reading an Echo recall bulletin and one recommendation was using the isopropyl to lube the tank grommet for assembly.

@@steveriggenbach90 No, it didn't get sticky.

It sure does attract moisture and create problems. Thanks for watching!
Grate job
Thanks for watching!
Yep rhe old gas treatment! Good job see ya next time!
Later.

A product called "Seal-All" works well.
I’ve noticed you only go so high of pressure when checking carb integrity. Do you ever check the pop off pressure?
Never. It seems like a violent test and I'm not sure what the point is or how I would change an undesirable result.
@@TheGreasyShopRag I’ve tried, but you’re using air and not fluid. Never worked for me. Thanks and be careful today this Friday
@@steveriggenbach90 I made it through the work day and ride home. As long as I don't crack open a skunky beer I should be golden.
Good RPM and no bog!
Yep, should be strong enough to wack some weeds.
Wonder why anyone would still run ethanol fuel in any small engine? Asking for trouble.

@@mendonesiac I agree that fresh E10 stored properly for short periods of time can be ok but that often isn't the case.
