    Question:
    Problem with starting HU725AWD after refilling with gas??
    Details:

    Purchased the HU725AWD model with the Honda engine.  On the 3rd time I used it, it ran out of gas as normal, I filled it with the same gas I started the day with and could not get it to restart.  Tried a couple times, thought it was flooded, waited a 1/2 hour, nothing.  Tried to start it the next morning and nothing!!  Was only the 3rd time I used it out of the box, so I returned it Lowe's and then purchased the same model with the Briggs/Stratton engine.  Same thing ALMOST happened, however it did finally start.  If this issue persists, what could it be??  Lowe's told me to bring back this one if it too fails??  First time purchasing Husqvarna after hearing how great a product it was, but am not having good luck with it.  Am I doing something wrong?  I notice that they do not have a primer push button, wondering if it's not getting gas??  Thanks!!!!

      If this all happen out of the same can of fuel then try this pour the remaining fuel clear plastic container and let it for about 10 minutes. It might be fuel contaminated with water which is why for the test. It has happen more than one time to me.

      The worst case I have had. I had just purchase fuel at my normal filling station. I was tilling my garden and was low on fuel so I refueled during a break. Crank my tiller and I went about 10 feet and it died. When check the carburetor it was full of water so cleaned it and drained the tank got another cup out of the tank. I then checked my fuel can gas and it had over quart of water in the fuel that just purchase and the can was empty when I filled it. I was very upset at the station.
