I was running my Husqvarna 24v48 the other day, fuel was running low, and it quit. So I hunted up some fuel, found my can, but unbeknownst to me my Wife had filled my GAS can with farm diesel for the tractor . I started to pour and stopped immediately when I saw red fuel coming out. I don't think that is my problem but just thought I would mention the minuscule amount of diesel fuel.
I filled the tank with gasoline and tried to crank it; nothing. So I figured maybe trash was in the carburetor. Tore into the breather and discovered the filter had been leaking and the carburetor was full of dirt. I removed the carburetor, cleaned it meticulously with carb cleaner, toothbrush, air and rebuilt it with new gaskets, float valve and a new solenoid. Cleaned out the breather housing and the intake manifold, installed new fuel lines, new filter, new fuel pump, new plugs and checked them for spark. The plugs are sparking and the clean carburetor is getting fresh gas but she still won't start.
