What to do if the string won't advance on my Homelite UT21566 Trimmer?
If the string on your Homelite Trimmer with the EZ Wind™ Tap Advance system won't advance, try these steps: First, lubricate the string with silicone spray. If that doesn't work, install more string. If the string is worn too short, replace it. If the string is tangled, remove it from the spool and rewind it. Also, make sure to advance the string at full throttle.
How to prevent grass from wrapping around my Homelite UT21566 Trimmer?
To prevent grass from wrapping around the drive shaft housing and string head of your Homelite Trimmer, avoid cutting tall grass at ground level and ensure you operate the trimmer at full throttle. If you are cutting tall grass, cut it from the top down.
Why is lubricant dripping from my Homelite Trimmer muffler?
If lubricant drips from the muffler of your Homelite Trimmer, operate the trimmer at full throttle. Also, ensure you are using fresh fuel and the correct 2-cycle lubricant mix. Clean the air filter as well.
What to do if Homelite UT21566 starts but won't accelerate?
If your Homelite Trimmer engine starts but won't accelerate, allow the engine to warm up completely for about three minutes. If it still doesn't accelerate after warming up, contact a servicing dealer.
How to adjust idle on Homelite Trimmer?
If your Homelite Trimmer engine starts, runs, and accelerates but will not idle, adjust the idle speed screw on the carburetor. Turn the idle speed screw clockwise to increase the idle speed.
Why is the spool retainer hard to turn on my Homelite Trimmer?
If the spool retainer is hard to turn when using the EZ Wind™ Tap Advance system on your Homelite Trimmer, try cleaning the threads and lubricating them with grease. If this doesn't improve the issue, replace the spool retainer.
What causes excessive smoke from my Homelite UT21566?
If your Homelite Trimmer engine does not reach full speed and emits excessive smoke, use fresh fuel and the correct 2-cycle lubricant mix. Also, clean the air filter. If the issue persists, contact a servicing dealer.
How to start a Homelite Trimmer that won't start?
If your Homelite Trimmer engine won't start, begin by checking for a spark. Remove the spark plug, re-attach the spark plug cap, and lay the spark plug on the metal cylinder. Pull the starter rope and look for a spark at the spark plug tip. If there's no spark, try again with a new spark plug. Next, push the primer bulb until it's full of fuel. If it doesn't fill, the primary fuel delivery system might be blocked, and you should contact a servicing dealer. If the primer bulb fills, the engine might be flooded. Remove the spark plug and turn the trimmer so the spark plug hole faces the ground. Rotate the choke dial to the 'RUN' position and pull the starter cord 10 to 15 times to clear excess fuel. Clean and reinstall the spark plug. Pull the starter three times with the choke dial at 'RUN'...
