- Service & Maintenance Question posted July 30, 2013 by Stephen ScullinQuestion:Can anyone tell me how to remove the trimmer head on the 128CD model? I cannot figure out how to lock the spin action to remove the head.
I recently bought the Husqvarna 128CD string trimmer, and would like to remove and replace the trimmer head. This model is different from all other sting trimmers I have previously owned as it does not have a nut above the trimmer head where you can use a wrench to lock the spin action to twist the head off. See attached pictures.
Thanks for your help. - Service & Maintenance Question posted August 27, 2013 by Michael PolskiQuestion: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. - Service & Maintenance Question posted June 4, 2013 by Zach RoweQuestion:Husqvarna 223L pull cord will not recoil properly. I have owned the trimmer 45 days. The cord was stuck outside of the assembly. I took it apart and loosened the bolt holding the assembly and it recoiled properly, but after reassembling, it messed up again after 2 pulls. What are my options?
- Question:I have a 123L model string trimmer and am having difficulty with it.
It was running fine and ran out of gas. I filled it up and it will not start.
I put a new plug in it and did nothing. I pumped the ball and can see full and bobbles in full line. It will then start for a minute and die again.
The trimmer has always started on the first pull and I have used it every day for 3 years.
Could it have a hole in a full line or stopped up pick up.
I always use good gas and no one uses it but me

- Service & Maintenance Question posted July 18, 2011 by Mark ShayQuestion:I just purchased a 128LD trimmer and I'm having the same issues as others with the throttle response being sluggish and it seems as though it has a "miss" when it does throttle up. I haven't actually used my trimmer yet. I just started it to see how it would run. My neighber has an older 326 trimmer and the throttle response is great. Will the throttle response of the 128 be slower that the 326? Is the "miss" and throttle response issues common for the 128 trimmer?
- Service & Maintenance Question posted May 29, 2012 by V TQuestion:I bought a new Husqvarna 128LD string trimmer a few weeks ago. Before starting the engine, I removed the spark plug to check the gap and discovered that the factory-installed spark plug was a Champion RCJ-8Y.
The owner's manual included with the trimmer (Manual # 115374327, Rev. 4, 01/31/2011) specifies to use a Champion RCJ-6Y plug. That's a cooler plug by 2 heat ranges.
I called Husqvarna's customer service and was told that their database was showing that RCJ-8Y is the correct plug to use. Could you please explain why there is a discrepancy with the owner's manual and confirm which plug is the correct one? Thank you. - Service & Maintenance Question posted June 15, 2013 by Cameron BuchinaQuestion:I have a Husqvarna 223L. It has not been starting reliably for the past month or so. Today I tried to crank it up but noticed the flywheel is not spinning when I pull the string. I have taken the trimmer apart and was able to remove the nut holding the flywheel on with my finger. I figure that would be the problem. I noticed that there is a groove in the crank shaft but do not see any sort of locking pin that would hold the fly wheel in at a certain slot. The center on the flywheel where the shaft comes through is smooth. I'm not sure if there should be a notch in it to line up with the groove in the shaft or not. Can you please let me know if there is supposed to be a pin or a notch in the flywheel to line it up, or if not, how to set the flywheel so that the timing will be correct.
Thank youPhoto:
