BC280 Trimmer - Instructions

I ended up having to also replace the crankshaft bearing well as the cylinder kit. The owner thought the knocking was too much oil which led to a scori g of the cylinder when it needed crank bearing replaced. Sorry Huskvarna the first one wouldn't weedeat this was the second.

emptied fuel from tank. pulled off the 2 fuel lines from the carburetor.opened the air cleaner door. removed the 2 torque screws that hold on the carburetor. removed the carburetor and air cleaner gasket. installed new carburetor and gasket and put back and tightened the 2 torque screws. closed air cleaner door and pushed the fuel lines onto the new carburetor.put some fuel in the tank. started the trimmer. runs great.

Removed 2 screws securing the air cleaner and carburetor to the engine using a T25 Torx driver. then removed the throttle cable from the carb.Then removed the o ring gasket from the engine and replaced with a new one and replaced the carb etc. Primed it and fired it up.Runs just like new.

The replacement of the carburetor, O-ring, and gasket was simple. I removed 2 screws that held the air cleaner and carburetor in place, swapped them out, and replaced the screws. What took longest was finding a piece of fuel line after breaking one of them. It was brittle after hanging in my garage for several years. I found some in my garage and replaced it. It took a few pulls to get it started, but ran very smooth.

Additional information: rather than mixing my fuel, I purchased 40:1 pre-mix fuel to prevent gunking up the carburetor in the future. I use it in my other trimmer and have not had any issues.
