My Husqvarna 450 won't idledown when warmed up
Verify carburetor linkage and throttle shaft are not sticking (remove linkage as a test). The intake and carb assembly are several components. There can be no air leaks at any point downstream of the throttle plate. Check mounting screws are properly torqued. Could also be crankcase leak. Check fuel tank is not building pressure (remove/loosen fuel cap as a test).
My Husqvarna rz46i zero turn acted like transmission was slipping . now wont move at all
If your Husqvarna rz46i zero turn mower was acting like the transmission was slipping and now it won't move at all, there may be an issue with the transmission or drive belt. Here are a few things you can check:
- Check the drive belt: Make sure the drive belt is properly attached and tensioned. If it's loose or damaged, it can cause slipping or failure to move. Replace the belt if necessary.
- Check the transmission oil level: Low oil level in the transmission can cause slipping or failure to move. Check the oil level and add oil if necessary.
- Check the transmission filter: A clogged transmission filter can cause the transmission to slip or fail to move. Replace the filter if it's dirty or clogged.
- Check the transmission itself: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, there may be a problem with the transmission itself. It may be necessary to have a professional technician inspect and repair the transmission.
It's also possible that there could be an issue with the mower's hydrostatic transmission or drive system. If you're unsure of how to diagnose or repair the issue, it's best to contact a professional technician for assistance.
Husqvarna weed eater engine mount set screw does not hold engine in place. Bought new screw and it pushed it out through the threads. What's fix for this?
If the engine mount set screw is not holding the engine in place and a new screw pushed out through the threads, it's possible that the threads on the engine or the screw are damaged.
One solution could be to try tapping the mounting hole with a larger size tap to create new, tighter threads. Another option could be to use a thread repair kit, such as a helicoil, to create new threads in the mounting hole.
It's also important to ensure that the screw being used is the correct size and type for the engine mount. Using the wrong size or type of screw can cause it to strip or push out through the threads. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to consult with a professional or the manufacturer for further assistance.
Husqvarna K970 shuts down at full throttle
There could be several reasons why a Husqvarna K970 shuts down at full throttle after it warms up. Here are some possible causes:
- Fuel system problems: The carburetor may be clogged or dirty, causing a fuel delivery problem. This can cause the engine to stall when it is running at full throttle.
- Air filter problems: A dirty air filter can restrict the flow of air into the engine, causing it to run too rich and stall at full throttle.
- Ignition system problems: A faulty ignition system can cause the engine to stall under load. This could be due to a failing spark plug or a bad ignition coil.
- Overheating: The engine may be overheating, causing it to shut down when it reaches full throttle. This could be due to a cooling system problem or an issue with the engine itself.
- Mechanical problems: There could be a problem with the engine or other mechanical components, such as the piston or crankshaft.
If you are not comfortable troubleshooting the problem yourself, it is best to take your K970 to a qualified service technician for diagnosis and repair.
I have a Husqvarna YTH 2348 the deck anti sway bar
Once you've straightened it - you've finished the hard part. Now take the end without the pin and stick it into the hole located on the transmission frame (the metal piece that the transmission sits on.) It is directly under the seat. The hole is on the front side of the tranny frame. Once you have it all the way in, take the pin end and put it through the mower deck brace (right side.) There is a hole there also for this end. If it doesn't go through enough to get the washer and pin through, push the mower deck towards the anti-sway bar. It should give a lot since the anti-sway bar is off. Once you fasten it, your'e done!
I only know this because it just happened to me today. I have the same mower as you, so I thought I would share.
Husqvarna LT-18542 lawn tractor dies after it is started. Carburetor was cleaned ignition coil and spark plug are good.
Check that the ignition module and the fuel solenoid remain powered when ignition switch returns to the RUN position.The mOOOoof sound is the leaf valve in the crankcase breather. As the engine spins down and the crankcase pressure drops, the leaf may resonate. Some do some don't.As a test you might try adding fuel (starter fluid, carb clean, or combustible brake clean). Remove the air filter and as it dies spray a shot of fluid into the carb throat. If it picks back up you know it's a fuel problem and not ignition.
My Husqvarna backpack blower starts good but when I put it at 3/4 speed it starts acting like it's not getting any GAS. HELP
If your Husqvarna backpack blower starts well but starts to act like it's not getting enough gas when you put it at 3/4 speed, there could be a few potential issues causing this problem. Some possible causes include:
- A clogged fuel filter: The fuel filter is responsible for removing dirt and debris from the fuel before it reaches the carburetor. If the filter is clogged, it can restrict fuel flow and cause the engine to run poorly.
- A clogged carburetor: The carburetor is responsible for mixing fuel and air to create the combustion that powers the engine. If the carburetor is clogged, it can restrict fuel flow and cause the engine to run poorly.
- A dirty air filter: The air filter is responsible for removing dirt and debris from the air before it reaches the carburetor. If the filter is dirty, it can restrict airflow and cause the engine to run poorly.
- A problem with the fuel line: If the fuel line is kinked, pinched, or has a leak, it can restrict fuel flow and cause the engine to run poorly.
- A problem with the spark plug: A faulty spark plug can prevent the engine from running properly, it can cause misfire and the engine to run poorly.
It's recommended to check the fuel filter, carburetor, air filter, fuel line, and spark plug. Clean or replace them as necessary. It's important to consult the operator's manual for specific troubleshooting instructions and diagrams for your blower model, as the location and procedure may vary depending on the make and model. It's also important to consult the operator's manual for safety instructions, and to make sure you have the correct parts for your blower.
It's recommended to seek the help of a qualified technician if you are not familiar with this process.
How do you remove the deflector on a Husqvarna yth2348
Removing the deflector on a Husqvarna YTH2348 lawn tractor can vary depending on the specific model, but the general process should be similar. Here are the steps to remove the deflector on your Husqvarna YTH2348 lawn tractor:

I have a Husqvarna 125 BV blower and the fuel bubble won't prime my engine to start. I checked the fuel hoses and they look good
If the fuel bubble on your Husqvarna 125 BV blower is not priming the engine to start, there could be a few potential issues causing this problem. Some possible causes include:
- A clogged fuel filter: The fuel filter is responsible for removing dirt and debris from the fuel before it reaches the carburetor. If the filter is clogged, it can restrict fuel flow and prevent the engine from starting.
- A clogged carburetor: The carburetor is responsible for mixing fuel and air to create the combustion that powers the engine. If the carburetor is clogged, it can restrict fuel flow and prevent the engine from starting.
- A problem with the fuel line: If the fuel line is kinked, pinched, or has a leak, it can restrict fuel flow and prevent the engine from starting.
- A problem with the fuel tank: If the fuel tank is not properly sealed, it can allow air into the fuel system and prevent the engine from starting.
- A problem with the primer bulb: If the primer bulb is not functioning properly, it can prevent fuel from reaching the carburetor.
It's recommended to check the fuel filter, carburetor, fuel line, fuel tank and primer bulb. Clean or replace them as necessary. It's important to consult the operator's manual for specific troubleshooting instructions and diagrams for your blower model, as the location and procedure may vary depending on the make and model. It's also important to consult the operator's manual for safety instructions, and to make sure you have the correct parts for your blower.

My husqvarna 125b blower wont start
I'm sorry to hear that your Husqvarna 125B blower isn't starting. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check the fuel level in the tank. If the tank is empty, fill it with the correct fuel mixture (50:1 ratio of gasoline to oil). If the fuel is stale (more than 30 days old), drain the tank and refill it with fresh fuel.
- Check the spark plug. Make sure the spark plug is clean and properly gapped. If the spark plug is dirty or damaged, replace it.
- Check the air filter. A dirty air filter can restrict the flow of air, causing the engine to run poorly or not start at all. Clean or replace the air filter as needed.
- Check the carburetor. If the carburetor is dirty or clogged, it can prevent the engine from starting. Clean the carburetor or have a professional service it.
- Check the ignition system. If the ignition system is not functioning properly, the engine may not start. Check the ignition coil, ignition switch, and any other related components to make sure they are working correctly.
If you have tried these steps and the engine still won't start, it may be necessary to take the blower to a professional for further diagnosis and repair.
What is the fuel mix for a 128cd model weed eater
A good fuel mixture ratio for any 2 stroke weedeater or chainsaw is 50:1. That equals out to 2.6 oz of oil per gallon of gasoline. Most 2 stroke oils can be bought in pre-measured containers at hardware stores or small engine dealers. It is best to not mix more than 2.5 gallons at a time. Hope this helps, Daniel.
My Husqvarna Hydrostatic transmission is not
Try this - remove all the transmission oil from the transaxle and put in a heavyer oil - 50 wt.
see if your transaxle has a drain plug - if not you will need to remove the tranaxle from the lawn tractor. I had to try a ratchet strap to the rear of the tractor and lift it up until the wheels were free. I removed the brake linkage spring, the fwd/rev linkage, and wheels. Undo the axle bolts and two screws ofn the cross support bracket on the tranaxle mount. pull the vent fill plug on top of the transaxle and turn the transaxle upside down to drain all the oil from it into a pan. Refill with 50 wt. to the top and remount the transaxle back in place. Next you will need to bleed the system as follows:
1. Have the tractor on jack stands with rear wheel off the floor.
2. Start engine on low speed.
3. repeat open and closeing the bypass valve while alternating the forward and reverse pedals.
4. when wheels start to turn increase the engine speed.
5. repeat quick forward or reverse with panic braking stops until transaxle gets full responce.
6. remove jack stands and have tractor on the wheels.
7. recheck the oil level again.
I did this to mine and it will improve your tractor ability to climb hills like new. 30 wt oil is too light (good for brake in) when tractor was new and refilling it with 50 wt will work like new or better.
