Step By Step Instructions

Before you replace the carburetor on your hedge trimmer first make sure the engine has cooled.

4
Use a 3/8th inch socket to help loosen the mounting nuts securing the air filter and carburetor.
5

6
Note the orientation of the fuel lines attached to the carburetor then detach the lines – be prepared for some fuel to spill out.
7
Open the throttle and use needle-nose pliers to disconnect the throttle cable from the carburetor.
8
You can now slide the old carburetor off.
9
Before you install the new carburetor make sure the intake manifold gasket is in place on the mounting bolts.
10
Now slide the new carburetor onto the bolts.
11
Connect the throttle cable to the new carburetor and attach the fuel lines to the appropriate ports.
