RedMax Trimmer Carburetor Replacement

소개

When your trimmer fails to start after a long winter, it can be because of a number of reasons. It could be that there is no gas, the gas is tainted with water, or the spark plug is dead. If all of those are in working order, then it may be possible that the carburetor needs the gaskets replaced. The carburetor controls the amount of air entering the unit. When you engage the throttle, it allows more air to enter, causing a pressure difference, that in turn pulls more fuel from the gas tank. When the gaskets go bad, due to age, particles of debris, or water, it allows air to escape. Therefore, not enough fuel is used and the engine fails to run properly. Changing the carburetor is a simple task that can save you from taking your unit to a small engine repair shop or from buying a new one.
