The screwdriver thing is because you're efficient and at ease with the job at hand. Like a great drummer throws in embellishments here and there, or twirls his drumsticks to make it interesting. Not so much for the fans, but for themselves
Hey, I can tell someone knows what they are doing here. But what is that pump up tool being used there? What does it do? What are common pressures? What are good and bad pressures? What does that check? What exact screwdriver tool is used to adjust the screws on a 525L? I enjoyed that clip but.I am trying to learn here. My Lowes purchase was just like another guy here. Used a tank of premix and now it just won't run after it warms up. The manual tells owner to turn out 2 1/2 turns to star t fine adjustments. and the screws won't let me do that. Can't adjust the screws more than half a turn.
The hand pump I use is a Mityvac MV8500. I am pressurizing the fuel line to 10 pounds to check for leaks in the line and carb. The screwdriver you need for the carb is either a 20 or 21 spline carb tool. Some new models use a different tool so I don't know if yours is 20 or 21 spline.
For now, I have to slightly choke it to keep it running. Carb adjustment doesn't seem to do much and there's only like about a 1/4 turn. Guess I'll rip into it at some point. I need to go find and old 223L. Those were great!!!
I have a question about my Husqvarna 525L it runs like it’s scalded dog when cutting but once you let off the throttle it dies instantly. When I adjust the high and low I get a change in the motor when I adjust the high but on the low it doesn’t change anything the way it runs
It doesn’t even bog down once you got it full throttle it runs like there’s nothing wrong with it but once you let off the gas throttle it dies new plug, new filters I think maybe the carburetor might be screwed but I don’t know
@@jasoncampbell2859 First make sure the engine turns free. pull the spark plug and see if the rope pulls smooth and easy. Look in the cylinder for scoring.
@@TheGreasyShopRag I did everything looks good i’ve had it for about five years or more it has been through hell I think it Just may need a new carburetor.
The 2 I bought out of the box run like crap. (returned one back to Lowes and then bought one from the local Husky dealer) Warmed up it has that studder and never goes away. I tried adjust the almost unadjustable straight slot screws and it didn't phase it. Just acts cold all the time. Used the canned gas and used my gas. No difference. I have an old 223L that can run circles around it. That 223 screams and it smooth and lighter. I really don't want to go back to the dealer because if I've gotten 2 out of the box that run this way, I'll ass-u-me that they all run like that. There are folks out there that don't really know how one is suppose to run.......I'd even say including the dealers. So a moot point to bring it in, not to mention it's 35 miles away and I'm sure I'll here "come back in a few days". Then, "we didn't find anything wrong with it". This is for me a mediocre weed eater at best. Sad they don't make the 223L anymore.
Well I'm gonna revisit this. After a month or so of using the weed eater, it did start running better. Just took it a while. I have no answer for why it did. It actually runs pretty good. I've taken off the guard and use a T-25 head on it. I still have a couple 223L's here, but each one has an issue. They did get used to death. The only annoying thing about it now is, the clutch. And I don't really know if it's the clutch because it's a different setup than others I've used, but it rattles all the time.
I just bought mine, ran out for 10 minutes no problem, started it again 30 minutes later, idles fine but give any throttle and it dies... Wonder if they put some grease or something that gets into that carb filter.
Certainly a worn clutch will make noise but I believe with these trimmers it has something to do with the drum not being directly mounted to the end of the crankshaft.
I have the same trimmer but after it warms up, if you don’t constantly keep your finger on the trigger it’ll keep dying other than that it runs like a scalded dog plenty of power what do you think the issue is? Like you can’t start it up sit it on the ground and let it run because it shuts off quickly.
Would you happen to know if this (525LK/535LK) use the same attachments the 128LD I currently have does? Or would I have to buy all new if I was to upgrade?
I think they're different. The LK uses a detent lever on the bottom and the other style uses a detent ball on the side. If your LD has the ball then they won't interchange.
We bought 4 of these 525L from Lowe's a month ago. 3 of them are currently not running. They are complete junk. Lowe's refuses to exchange or refund so I'm stuck either repairing myself or taking to a repair shop. Completely disgusted.
@@TheGreasyShopRag straight out of a box. Used premix Husqvarna 50:1. Worked fine for a week or so but one of them broke a shaft & the other two have starting issues & when started will die if not constant low throttle with trigger
@@aj12271 The shaft breakage is rare as I've never seen that in that model. The other two sound like they need a carb adjust. I understand about shopping around for the best price but a good dealer would have fully prepped these and made those adjustments. In the end you'll have to find a dealer anyway for the warranty work.
@@TheGreasyShopRag Completely agree. A dealer will spend the time to adjust and tune and do all pre delivery checks. Also get you to start and run it yourself so you get used to the nuances of the machine. You also have someone who will help out if it gets out of tune or any dramas. Dealers are worth every cent even if they're a little more expensive.
Thanks very much for this. Made servicing my 525 RJX easy
Thanks for watching!

This is exactly what happened to me. I bought a new carb and still have similar issues. Its like the screws are rubber and won't adjust

So what is the part number on the carb kit
That gasket and diaphragm kit is a D10-WTEA.
I gotta get me one of those BS buttons 🤣
Cheers for the content mate, much appreciated from Australia 👍
Thanks for watching!
Why do the clutches in these things rattle so bad? At least it seems to be the clutch.
Certainly a worn clutch will make noise but I believe with these trimmers it has something to do with the drum not being directly mounted to the end of the crankshaft.

New spark plug new air filter new fuel filter
@@jasoncampbell2859 Is the idle adjustment screw missing as described at 3:20 in the video?
No, it is in place like it should be
I will look and make sure nothing is broke with it, but I know for sure it’s in place because I tried to adjust it but it didn’t help any
@@jasoncampbell2859 Look in the cylinder and make sure it is clean and shiny with no scores or scratches.
So what was the actual problem of it bogging down mine is doing same thing
The scum on the micro screen was restricting fuel flow in the carb. Think of it as a plugged up fuel filter.
I have a 525l huqaskvrana
Liking mine
Its a popular machine around here. They seem to hold up to commercial abuse.
Cool video thanks. Laterrrrr

Does Lowes prep the machines or do they just come in a box? I'm curious, do they not start or something else?

@@weofnjieofing I agree but I feel a dealer is only more expensive if you never need any other assistance with your purchase.
Sniffing the gas tank? Sure. Or "huffing", if words matter........
There was a little more intake there than I had planned. LOL
Solution at 4:20 :)
But you stayed till the end, didn't you? 🙂
@TheGreasyShopRag Yes I did!
