My Husqvarna (2754GLS) kept stalling while I was trying to mow. Here's how I fixed it:
Changed the oil filter (first time since I bought the mower, new, in 2008)
Changed the spark plugs (again, first time ever)
Changed the oil
Used compressor to clean out air filter; washed foam wrap-around part in sink and dried it
Put "Star Tron" Enzyme fuel treatment in gas tank; let it sit 2 days and then shook the machine a bit before starting it
Surprisingly, I *didn't* have to change the fuel filter, but I was prepared to. Ditto for the air filter. I have both of these ready to go, waiting for a future date.
Now I'll never know which of these thing(s) fixed the problem I was having -- but I decided I was NEVER AGAIN going to pay a neighbor/mechanic $20 to drain the gas from my weed eater. (I assumed the fuel lines were clogged and needed replacing.)
From now on, I'm going to do all the easy stuff myself, and then if there's still a problem I'll take it in for service.
Just sharing my experience with all of you -- maybe it will help someone. Who knows.
