I really appreciate this video Yours is the only one I have found that has a carburetor assembly like mine.I have 2 shindaiwa trimmers T242 and the other one is a T242X it's he T242X I am having a problem with the other trimmer does not have the flat aluminum heat shield with the two gaskets on one on each side on the carburetor assembly I put a new carb on it and I can't even get it to fire I'm thinking that it's sucking in air I put a new carburetor on the other one that does not have this heat shield plate and it works fine, I noticed that your aluminum carburetor heat shield has two gaskets on the back side of it I put this one back together with just the one gasket so I'm thinking that it's getting air I need to disassemble it and try it again and inspect it longer thanks for the help I appreciate it. I took heat shield off and put it back together like the other t242 trimmer I have I made sure all holes were open but I still can't get it to fire, I have gas in the prime plunger but I don't think gas is going to the spark plug.

so the heat shield doesn't have to be there just 1 gasket between the carb and isolator block. notice the back of the carb has a small hole. that is the vacuum line that runs the fuel pump built in your carb. the gasket has the same hole make sure they line up. also make sure the carb isn't loose. the bolts may be to long without the heat shield. last there is an adjustment screw on the aftermarket carb. turn it counter clockwise a quarter turn at a time till it runs. that is of course if you have spark and compression. remove muffler try first muffler could be clogged. look in at the piston. is it clogged is there scratches on the piston

@@smallengineguys out of all the videos I have seen and all the people I spoke with on this you are the only one that really knows what you are talking about. Thank you so very much. Since the other trimmer does not have this aluminum heat shield I was going to give that a try and take the shield off and just use the gasket thank you for the advice I will redo it and get back to you.

I made sure all the holes were open and not closed off by the gaskets, I can pump up gas in the plunger but it still won't fire, I took plug out and it's dry, I don't think gas is getting to the plug, what would cause that? It doesn't make sense to me.

@@jimkeefover245 there is an adjustment screw on the carb. Not the idle screw up top but the one closest to the primer bulb. That is if you bought an aftermarket one. Turn it counter clockwise till it fires then keep going till it runs. If not then you need a new one. Let me know before you buy it ill give you a link to the best one.

Thanks for all the ideas but I have one question that concerns me is there a air and fuel mixture adjustment on the Husqvarna 242 mine runs good for about 15 minutes then bogs down and it only will idle that's why I asked about the mixture I may be totally wrong any help would be much appreciated thank you again for the video

For some reason mine stalls out and when i turn it on a particular side it start running again. I think the filter line isn't moving around inside the tank.
