    Carburetor adjustment tool? for 223L string trimmer and all...escalated1
    Service & Maintenance Question posted August 27, 2013 by Michael Polski in Husqvarna: Ask & Answer > String Trimmers public
    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.
