OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Trimmers and Brushcutters Two Stroke Trimmers & Brushcutters homelite e195 wont idle

Hi bruce, I have a weedeater,brushcutter that wont idle indefinitely, when it is warm with no choke it runs great, but when it is left to idle with no throttle it slows gradually and then just stalls.
Any ideas?
thx jesse

jesse43,

I need you to have a look at the carby and see if it has Mexico stamped on it. If so you will need to remove the fuel screen on the pump side(the side with just one screw). This will help fix your problem.

Hi Bruce it has WALBRO written on it and singapore stamped in it.

thnx jesse

jesse,

Ok you will need to take the muffler off and check the exhaust port for carbon build up. If it has any blockage clean it out(make sure that the piston is covering the hole so no carbon falls into the cylinder).

Once you have done these things let me know if you still have a problem and we will go to the next stage.

Hi I have done what you said and there are blokages so what should i do next?
Thanks jesse

sorry I meant no blokages

jesse43,

1. OK have you replaced the fuel filter in the tank?

2. If you haven't then replace it.

3. Try that to see if it makes any improvement. :Wavey:

Did you make any adjustments to the high & low screws?

Also are the screws tight on the cylinder?
