Hi,
I have a weed eater , Husqvarna ,that will only start and run badly for a few minutes and then die . Cleaned and rebuilt carb ,new plug , new lines , new primer and cleaned fuel and air filter . Muffler clean too , at least screen is ! Zama carb on it .Primes up good . It has been adjusted by three different small engine mechanics , but to no good . One was a Husqvarna certified mechanic .He checked comp. on it and said that it was low at 70 pounds . I didn't see needle scale . Got home and used a comp. tester from Autozone that was designed for cars, but had an adapter that fit it . I was getting 90 pounds and up . I kept pulling rope and it topped out at about 130 lbs and wouldn't go no higher . Wasn't sure as to how to test a weed eater with it . Instructions said to let car motor turn over at least five times and then check comp so I pulled on rope 3 to 5 times like I was going to start it . Is this right ? How would you guys do it ? What is good comp on it ? What is needed enough to make it run at least ? Thanks for any and all help .
