Question:
Trimmer died in middle of job, just like it ran out of gas, Husqvarna 326 RJX Etech-II, no obvious reason (tank full), inspected fuel lines, all good. Checked in-tank filter, ok. Checked spark arrestor screen (a little oily but not clogged). Tried multiple times to restart...pushed prime bulb, choke, no choke, nothing. Then, after letting engine set a few minutes, I pressed prime bulb several times and engine started but then almost immediately died. Pressed prime bulb several times and engine started and ran a little longer. It will run as long as I can keep pressing prime bulb but will not pull gas from tank. Removed carb and checked integrity of all gaskets, screen, and diaphram, blasted all parts with carb cleaner...no luck, still same results. No apparent loss of vacuum in lines, Any ideas?
Details:
Just wanted to add that I purchased this trimmer new and have been very satisfied with its performance. It has trimmed many hilllsides in recent years without the first problem! The problem that I am experiencing is not typical at all! In fact, if I cant get it running again...I will purchase one as close to this model as possible! Just dont want to retire it yet...hate to see it go...want to fix it if at all possible. Thanks in advance for your help.

Anyone have a diagram of a fuel cap (of internal parts of cap) (part number 544 88 97-02)? I took mine appart to clean and it was spring loaded causing parts to shoot across room. i tthink i have all the parts but dont know how to put all the parts back within cap. This is my last resort...next step is to download a parts list and start replaceing everything...

Does anyone know if ZAMA C1Q E24A carb is supposed to have a welch plug? I downloaded a diagram of carb today (from husqvarna parts list) and I am fairly sure that diagram shows welch plug...No dealer in home town.
