Weed eater won’t work after maintenance

My Husqvarna weed eater was giving me trouble. Figured I’ve had it for a while, so it’s time to do some maintenance. New carburetor, new gasket, new fuel lines, air filter, fuel filter and spark plug. I can get it to kick over on a half choke, but it’s a rough sounding half choke. Won’t run when fully opened. I went back through my new parts, and everything is where the should be. I’m not sure what the problem is.

I’ve come to the conclusion that when those things start giving trouble you may as well toss them.

I would probably put the old carb back on and see what happens.

Time for a new maintenance guy
Jk. Did you use oem parts or crap off Amazon? I’ve never been able to get an aftermarket carb to work worth a crap.

Make sure you have the fuel lines going to the right nipple on carb. Easy to swap the vent and fuel supply lines. Also, did you use OEM husky parts?

Can't help you, my 60V greenworks doesn't have a carb.

What do you mean by rough sounding? Carbs are adjustable, if it sounds better with half a choke it sounds like you need to adjust your carb to me. It may be adjusted to lean/ not enough fuel?

Are you into YouTube? Have you tried researching the problem there? The following yielded plenty results when entered into the Y.T. search bar:

That's the problem. Had a Husqvarna trimmer and blower and both crapped out due to developing problem with crankcase seals. You can pressure/vacuum test the thing but better to toss in trash and go get an Echo, Stihl, Shindaiwa, or Maruyama.

Weedeaters are like a string of Christmas lights..onces they break it's over.. toss them.

Can’t hurt to check gap on spark plug. Make sure the plug wire is fully pressed down. Since it does run, it’s probably not spark related. On the old carb, I would tighten any adjustment screws and count the revolutions. I would make the new screws similar to the old. If that didn’t help, put the old carb back on.

My Husky weedeater was running on half choke only. Cleaned every part of the original carb and it was worse after cleaning. I bought the $13 cheap carb on Amazon and it ran well but needed tuning. Try tuning using a YouTube video for a guide.
