If your Husqvarna line trimmer is experiencing issues with starting up or loss of power, it may be time to replace the fuel filter. This is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few steps. First, you will need to drain the fuel from the machine and remove the air filter cover and air filter. Next, locate the fuel filter inside the gas tank – it's a white cylinder attached to the end of the small fuel line. You can then use a pair of needle-nosed pliers or a straightened wire clothing hanger to fish the filter out of the tank. Finally, a new fuel filter can be installed.
