    Replace 2005 Huskvarna 125L String Trimmer Throttle Assembly1
    Service & Maintenance Question posted September 22, 2018 by Scott Thomas 
    Question:
    Replace 2005 Huskvarna 125L String Trimmer Throttle Assembly
    Details:

    I have a 2005 Huskvarna string trimmer and the thing is a reliable beast that has served me well for 13+ years.  I have had to replace a few plastic bits and bobs throughout the years, but these have all been easy, inexpensive fixes.  

    However, now I am stuck.  My throttle cable broke and since the kill switch hasn't worked in years, I purchased the entire throttle assembly to replace. 

    However, I do not know how to remove the piece that attaches the throttle cable to the engine next to carb - SEE PIC. I've found videos for later models where this bit simply slides out, but mine is attached somehow.  I have attempted to force it out with quite a bit of pressure using a pair of pliers, with no success.

    I guess I could cut the end of the throttle cable off and slide it through the existing sleeve and re-attach the end, but surely it shouldnt be this difficult to simply replace the entire assembly.

    Any help is much appreciated.

    I have also attached a pic of the weedeater model info.

    Question:
    replace bump head on 525ls
    Details:

    We have the Husqvarna 525ls trimmer and cannot figure out how to remove the bump head from the trimmer.  There is no information in the owners manual on how to do this and even after finding information on how it should come off, the head simply will not come off.   Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Strange Leaking 223L String Trimmer1
    Service & Maintenance Question posted July 26, 2018 by Charles Boudreaux 
    Question:
    Strange Leaking 223L String Trimmer
    Details:

    I have a 223L Trimmer with a hard to trace leak.  I had noticed residue under the engine in my shed and around the throttle assembly.  I filled a inspected...no leaking.  I set it up on some saw horses a waited one evening...nothing.  The next afternoon I returned from work to find residue on the concrete directly below the throttle assembly.  So now I'm suspecting extreme heat to be forcing gas out some where. We live in Southern Louisiana.  It is very hot.  I imagine my shed could get well over 100F.  It this a possibility? If so what should I do?

    Husqvarna 324L 4 stroke trimmer has 90 psi compression,...6
    Service & Maintenance Question posted March 13, 2018 by Robert McIntosh 
    Question:
    Husqvarna 324L 4 stroke trimmer has 90 psi compression, won't start on starter fluid, and owner says he always has to run it on partial choke? Is this because it was set too lean? And does the low compression mean he might have scored the piston?

    Carburetor adjustment tool? for 223L string trimmer and all...escalated1
    Service & Maintenance Question posted August 27, 2013 by Michael Polski 
    Question:
    Carburetor adjustment tool? for 223L string trimmer and all of the newer model Husqvarna string trimmers! I hate the 223L string trimmer I bought last summer, a new "refurbished" from Northern tool. It starts and idles well. It never revs to full speed, never has. I thought it would break in, but never did. Just needs a carburetor adjustment! but the new pins on the carburetor defy any common tool, and a tool cannot be found on the internet as far as I know. Spent $75 at a dealer/repair shop (all they did was dump out the fuel and add new ethanol-free fuel/gas mixture. They couldn't find a tool either, so they couldn't adjust the carburetor). Runs the same with the expensive "Husqvarna true-fuel...ehtanol free 50:1 mix". Another $7.00. I tried different butt-end electrical connectors, but they didn't work..#10 more dollars..wouldn't fit over the carburetor peg well. Went to searspartsdirect.com.....no help
    they don't have a carburetor adjustment tool. None on eBay. No returns or warranty from Husqvarna! No help for a trimmer bought "new"...that runs, but has never worked right.
