Hey there,
I am working on reserecting a homelite string trimmer that was discarded. Compression seems good, there is spark, and I have fresh fuel, but, none seems to be getting into the carb. Pumping the primer bulb results in the fuel tank being pressurized and a squeek noise, but no fuel getting into the bulb itself. You can hear a hiss as you remove the gas cap after priming and the lines blow bubbles in the gas as you prime. I disconnected the fuel lines from the carb, and they are clean leading into the tank. ( IE I can blow air thru the lines towards the tank, - so I think the fuel filter is clear still) This makes me think the issue is in the carb itself. Does that make sense to you guys ( and gals) ? Any quick fixes to try? I am planning on tearing appart the carb next and cleaning it out as best I can.
this is my model
thanks
Dave
