Excaliber ght180 cuts out

Weedeater Excaliber Hedge Trimmer will start but will not keep running, stalls after it's started. Seems to be a problem with the gas. Have used new fuel and oil mixture. Fuel line within gas tank has been replaced. Primer bulb works. If you keep working the choke, it runs, but cuts out. When you just press the throttle, it won't pump the gas and it stalls.

Rebuild carburetor or find part number for carburetor and go online some carbs. Are cheaper to buy than rebuild.

SOURCE: I'm trying to get an

There are 2 different set ups for fuel lines on these 2 stroke carburetors. One has a remote primer/purge bulb and the other has the primer/purge bulb on top of the carburetor. Here are instructions on how both kind work and how to service them.

The small diameter line out of fuel tank (has filter in-tank on end) connects directly to the side of the carburetor that has the fuel pump....that is the cover without the hole in it. Other larger diameter fuel line out of tank connects to the longer nipple on the external purge/primer bulb. The bulb "pulls" fresh fuel from the fuel tank to the carb and then out of the carb to itself, where it then "pushes" any air/old fuel back into the fuel tank. The remaining larger diameter fuel line in this setup goes from the metering chamber (has cover with writing on it and a vent-hole) side of the carburetor to the smaller nipple on the purge/primer bulb. Again, on the primer bulb, the longer nipple has a line going directly from it to the tank. This is the return line. The shorter nipple on the bub has a line from it going to the metering chamber side of the carb. If the purge/primer bulb is on top of the carb...small line from carb body to small hole in tank with filter. Larger diameter line goes from the bulb on the fuel pump side of the carb to the larger hole in the fuel tank where sometimes the line is held in place with a nylon nipple connector that keeps the line from pulling out of the tank. Otherwise, the line should enter the tank for about 1/2" or so If you have any more questions, please post back. I will see your comment and be glad to help you,

Replacing gas line and gas filter on excalibur GHT180

You will need a piece of stiff wire to run through the line hole to the fill neck. Cut the fuel line end about 30 degrees. Thread the line over the wire to the hole and you should be able to get the hose with a needle nose plier to pull it out. Good luck. I hope this helps.

The trimmer starts but will not keep running, I replaced fuel lines and filters and put a rebuild kit in the carb. Same problem, starts fine but will not keep running

Its a longshot but I had a problem with my hedge trimmer, it kept cutting out when idling.
It turned out that a clutch spring was broken so the clutch shoes had nothing to restrain them and would fly out and make contact with the clutch drum and stall the machine.
Air locks in the fuel lines will also cause this symptom. These can be caused by running the machine with low fuel level in the tank and cutting upside down or at a sharp angle.

It keeps stalling after only a few minures

Suspect Ignition Coil is failing under heat.
To test this, take the unit outdoors and have a fire extinguisher handy. Start and allow unit to run until it shuts down. Then remove spark plug and test for spark by grounding the outer shell of the plug on the engine's metal surface.

BE SAFE!
Keep your face away from the spark plug hole as you pull the rope to test for spark. Expelled fuel or vapors can ignite via the removed spark plug or any subsequent arc.

If no spark when hot, and good spark when cold, replace ignition coil.
Find your EXACT model number on your unit, then go HERE to lookup the part number of the coil. Call your local reputable repair shop and ask if they have it in stock or can order for you.
Hope this helps.
