Pull off the fuel hose and remove the carburettor . Tip! Open the fuel cap to avoid fuel spillage caused by any excess pressure.
20 3 531 03 06-23 Fuel system Pressure test the metering unit. Connect pressure tester 531 03 06-23 to the fuel hose nipple. Lower the carburettor in a vessel with petrol in order to discover any leaks more easily . T est the pressure at 50 kPa. No leakage is permitted.
21 3 Fuel system Check the needle valve and the lever arm for damage or wear . Replace damaged components with new ones. Check the needle valve for damage on the tip and in the lever arm groove. Check the lever arm for damage to the groove for the needle valve and wear on the mounting points towards the control diaphragm.
22 3 Fuel system Dismantle the main jet (A) and the plug (B). Press out the main jet (A) with a suitable punch. Remove the plug (B). Carefully drill a small hole (Ø 2 mm) in the plug and pry it up with a pointed object. Check valves and dampers for wear .
23 3 Fuel system Assembling the carburettor • Blow all channels in the carburettor compartment clean • Mount a new plug. Use a suitable punch to get a completely tight seal. • Press in a new main jet. • Mount the valves and dampers. Tip! Any numbers on the valves should be able to be read from the outside.
24 3 531 03 06-23 Fuel system Check that the carburettor is sealed. No leakage is permitted at 50 kPa. Connect pressure tester 531 03 06-23 to the fuel intake on the carburettor . Pump up the pressure to 50 kPa. Lower the carburettor in a vessel with petrol in order to discover any leaks more easily .
25 3 T Fuel system The needles must be correctly adjusted in order for the engine to give maximum power at different speeds, run steadily while idling and to react quickly when accelerating. The setting of the carburettor can vary a little depending on the humidity , tempera- ture and air pressure.
26 3 502 71 14-01 501 60 02-03 Fuel system Correctly adjusted carburettor A correctly adjusted carburettor means that the engine accelerates without hesitation and it “splatters” a little at full throttle. • A too lean adjusted L-needle can cause starting difficulties and poor acceleration.

The cord length should be 160 mm measured from the end of the cord to the cord bushing on the trimmer head.
28 3 G Fuel system Remove the bolt (A) and remove the throttle from the handle. Remove bolts (B) and (C). Separate the halves of the throttle. Remove the bolt (A) that attaches the throttle to the handle. Be careful not to lose the nut. Remove the throttle and remove bolts (B) and (C).
29 3 Disassemble the throttle control (A), the lock to prevent accidental throttle operation (B), the start throttle lock (C) and the throttle stop (D) in order to check if replacement is necessary . The stop switch can also be disassem- bled now , and replaced if necessary .
