Thanks for watching. The trimmer was working just fine last year and then it was put up for the winter. It's now spring and it won't start. Of course the problem is the carburetor but it was also improper storage that caused the problem.
Yes I would buy Homelite trimmers, they're so simple to use, lightweight,and quite powerful enough for everyone
thats my take on them too. besides I'm very practical
Low end half crankshaft trimmers.
@@ronaldnorris2179they’re marketed more toward homeowners not for commercial use so it’s good enough for most people unlike you.
I did buy a Homelite trimmer 22 years ago. But, it was branded and sold as a John Deere. But, it DEFINITELY a Homelite in all but cosmetic respects. I had just bought my first home and couldn't afford a Stihl or Echo that I really wanted. I figured this one last me a good 5 years or so, at least, and then I could afford to go buy a nice one. Well, here I am 22 years later, and that damn thing still runs as good as new. I've definitely got my $189 out of it! It just keeps defying my excuse to go buy a new one!
wow, that's pretty amazing!
I’m 13 and just bought a Stihl trimmer I love it I used to have a Homelite survived 5 seasons
nice to see your interest in trimmers at your age. thanks for the comment I appreciate it.
I used STIHL when I was 9
I suggest you switch to ECHO, SHINDAIWA, OR RED MAX
Let me put it this way. I have a cheapy Homelite trimmer that I bought back in 2003. I'm still currently using it, and it has been an absolute CHAMP. Like seriously. I just recently had to give it some attention/maintenance. It was acting weird as far as starting, running, idling, so I decided to buy an inexpensive aftermarket carb. I replaced it, and it's running like new again. Since I replaced the carb, I replaced the fuel lines, too. The original fuel lines were black rubber, and had no cracks, and were still soft and pliable. Crazy to me. So would I buy a Homelite for home use? ABSOLUTELY.
I've shared these details with the host of this channel before, but I wanted to share with his viewers, too. My only concern with Homelite is wondering if the current ones are still as good as the older ones, or if they have gone downhill. Just cause they used to be good back then, doesn't mean that they are still good. But my old Homelite has been VERY GOOD to me. Could not ask for more.
thank you kings17court
Add me to the list of happy Homelite owners. I bought mine in 1995, and other than replacing the fuel lines, the primer bulb, a broken trigger (my fault) , and the spool retainer, it has ran fine until the other day. The original foam filter finally disintegrated and the engine sucked in about half of it, choking out the engine. I removed the debris and it fired right back up. I doubt the new models have this longevity. I'm also running it on 40:1 mix, not their 32:1 recommendation. Thumbs up to Homelite.
My weed eater starts and works well whenever my finger is on gas but dies immediately after taking finger off gas. Can anyone help me with this??
I’d prefer a cheap gas trimmer, believe it or not, I bought a new homeLite trimmer last summer, it runs and works well, it a curved shaft, but still gets the job done.
I agree
Homelites are great if you've never used anything else before. The one I used since 2011 was great until I decided it was time to replace it this year and bought a used Echo SRM-210. The Echo is better in every way including weight. I don't think I'll ever be going back, but I'll at least keep the Homelite around for a backup trimmer.
i appreciate your insight. thanks
Great video, I got my weedeater out and it started and ran fine but dogged out when the throttle was increased, I did the adjustment on the carburetor as you showed in the video, and now the weed eater runs great. Thanks, Eric
No problem and thanks for the comment
I love homelite brand machines they are always cheap and of high quality
I don't have a problem using them either
That and Weedeater
@ Barndog,
Funny, Harco Equipment can't repair my cheap Homelite but they can repair the very expensive trimmers. 🤨😐
“Of high quality” did you really just say that💀💀 you couldn’t be more wrong
I have a Craftsman trimmer with the attachment ability that weights alot, I found a straight shaft Homelite trimmer out for spring clean up, I brought it home cleaned it and adjusted the H&L screws and it runs like New. I now use this as my main trimmer because it is way lighter than the Craftsman. I'd absolutely buy a Homelite trimmer, they're good trimmers in my opinion
thank you Gary Allen, I don't have a problem with Homelite, it's all up to maintenance.
It doesn't matter what trimmer I buy,as long as it does the job, having said that,my dad has had the same Honda line trimmer for 17 years now !
wow thats a machine
I have one Homelite blower,line trimmer and a hedge trimmer and they haven’t let me down and they are light and easy to use.
nice. I like easy to use equipment no matter the brand. thanks for the comment I appreciate it
Thanks adding fuel to the carb did the trick. Thank you.
no problem Fred Fatehi and thanks for the comment I appreciate it.
I have had a Weedeater featherlight for around 15 years and I have no regrets. I purchased a stihl last year and it’s a very nice trimmer but still use the WeedEater more often.
I know how you feel. I really like my featherlite
Just got a Homelite for free; will see if it runs. Thanks for the video; will use it to diagnose any issues.
I hope it works out for you
Tom ..... So how did it turn out?
I bought a Royby power tool set (driver drill, impact drill, sawzall, flashlight, and circular saw) for $129 in 2013. It's now 2024 and I still use ALL of them except the flashlight I cannot find. It all still works just fine .
wow that's pretty cool
This video was beautiful in its simplicity. I own the same trimmer. Starts an runs great when cool, when it gets hot though it starts to bog down. I am going to try the tips here. Great video.
thank you Optimize Logic Repair.
Always drain the petrol tank then run the engine until it runs dry.
Because I’ve always done this I’ve never had starting problems with any of my Homelite, Poulan’s and my Weed eaters.
As for Homelite machines I’ve had them for years and always found the engines to be reliable and dependable. However I’ve replaced the entire flexible shafts on my machine with steel shafts from a commercial machine that had worn out. Simply because I really enjoy repairing machines and improving them if possible, (Subscribed)
thank you Howard Walker
Nothing wrong with a homelite.... I give mine heaps and its does it’s job!!
I agree. They have a place in my garage.
Dirtydog,
I give you a credit.
I own the same trimmer. This video was very informative! Thank you for the great detail. I was able to work on my carburetor myself and solve my fuel issue. This homelite trimmer is great for my .5 acre lot. Was a dealer refurb and fit my budget!
I'm glad to see one of these holding their own on a large lot. Thanks for the comment.
No problemo owning a Homelite trimmer. I've had a HLT series straight shaft for about 6 years with only the bump head needing replacement. They tend to wear down with the bumping, maybe I smack it a little too hard. It's on its 3rd head now and I think that when this bump head is no longer serviceable, for environmental reasons I will get a Honda 4 stroke trimmer. I always run 40:1 petrol/oil mix in the Homelite. Plug gap of .025" (0.6mm) and run it slightly richer (mine has the H and L adjustment screws on the carb) than it came from the factory. I service it at the end of the season and store it between seasons with an empty fuel tank. I only use the primer bulb if the bulb is empty of fuel and start it with the choke if the motor is cold only, otherwise they tend to flood quite easily and they are a pig to start if they flood (but then what 2 stroke isn't???). They are cheap to buy, well built and reliable if simple maintenance is performed regularly so unless you have a real need to spend big bucks on a trimmer, the little Homelite performs adequately well.
thank you for sharing that
I did buy a homelite trimmer. It does a good job, is light and easy to start. I have a homelite chainsaw that I purchased in the 1990's. The brand seems pretty good to me!
they really are not bad at all, most people just don't like them for some reason. Thank you S. Koerner
Well,I would say that depends on how much grass you have to trim...I mean if I have a very small lawn it doesn't make sense to buy an Echo or Sthil or any higher end brand for way more money. Weedeater or homelite will get the job done just the same. However, if your a commercial landscaper and your trimmer is used all day then of course you'll go to the high end brands. Love your vids,very informative.
You make a very good point and thanks again
Thank you for your class now i will see if i can get my weed eater to work. I have same model machine , i was happy with it like your said it's light and dosen't cost much also has good power for such a small engine so hope i fix it right, thank's again.
good luck to you and thanks
I had one before the Echo and did a fine job. The end result says it all! Blessings
you would be correct!
Nice job down. It's a well needed video. As far as buying a home lite trimmer. I might but I don't like having to fix or adjust it. But other than that the price for it is reasonable.
my thoughts are the same, price is great just don't want to have to mess with it either
I’m going with Echo 😊 thanks for the video bud
no problem and yes I'd get an Echo too.
I've had a Homelite SX-125 for over 20 years. I just trash picked the same trimmer in your video. Hoping to get it running as easily.
good luck to you Corey Jones, and thanks for the comment.
I had mine since 1993......bought a craftsman unit and it runs horrible. I like the homelite sx135. It starts , runs better than craftsman and lighter.
nice to know these can last!
recently had this issue, changing the gas worked for me, I fucked up and didn’t drain it last summer and it didn’t wanna idle, if you don’t drain it at least put fuel stabilizer, I got lucky I could’ve had to change the carb.
you did lucky. thanks for the update
If your lawn equipment is going to sit more than two weeks drain the fuel tank and run it dry. Your equipment will last and run alot longer. I drain all the tanks on my equipment and run them dry just before winter and when spring comes I fuel up and all equipment performs flawlessly.
for me yep no problem plus easy to fix up and the short block assembly,s are very easy to replace as it,s a non removable cylinder and you can buy them online very easily too.
really I didn't know that. I'll have to take a look at them.
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE yep very easy to install and replace for sure.
@@Patrick4959 yes I looked at the parts diagram and it's amazing that they cast the engine Block that way. They must have saved quite a bit of money doing this.
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE yep top notch.
I’m about to go pick up one of these barely used for $10 but it too sat and now won’t start. Homesteading on the cheap! Thanks for the video, going to be a huge help as I fix it and use it around our new house. Sub’d!
thank you Noah Dion
I actually have one that belonged to my Uncle. It doesn’t run because it was stored with ethanol fuel for a couple of years. I haven’t fixed it because it’s a curved shaft trimmer with a tiny bump head that uses .065 line. This yard needs something seriously more substantial.
totally makes sense
i have one for years good trimmers thanks for showing carby adjusting
No problem 👍
I own a Remington (don't laugh) trimmer that I picked up at a local hardware store for $110. Other than running a little lean on the top end, it runs great. The fuel that I use is VP PROMAX 97 octane.
nothing wrong with a trimmer that works!
It’s a good trimmer my opinion your rite light and still dose the job
Yes very easy
The only trimmer I ever buy!
really? that's pretty cool
David ... I have one that I bought in 2003, and I'm still currently using it. Has been an absolute CHAMP over the years. It's been very VERY good to me. It probably helps that I live in Florida, and use it pretty much year round. I could not ask for anything more.
I have one it works great even on the toughest weeds
very nice, thank you 777dingo.
I like husqvarna trimmers. I had good luck working on them
seems to last . if I'm buying I'm sticking with husky. I would use anything and take care of it the same as my husky brand lawn tools.
very well said. they are very decent trimmers.
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE the Husqvarna 525L is a beast. Goes through almost everything I put in front of it. One mean machine.
i have 1 of those homelite trimmers just got to get it running.
nice work, these are too bad, if they're taken care of .
Yes I would buy a homelite trimmer if I was using it for light duty once or twice a week. I actually gave my son a homelite so we could mow together. Runs good. I run equipment pretty hard for long hours for heavy duty jobs including trimming for the farm. I personally have two professional series stihl trimmers/ brushcutters. I have a stihl FS-250R for the heavy brush, a KM-94R as a multi tool and a husqvarna 525L as a daily lawn care tool. But I'm perfectly happy running a homelite or other home owner grade machines around the house as long as they start fast and have good power in them.
thank you for vouching for them
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE your welcome. Homelite is a good machine especially if you break in the engine correctly/gently through the first year of service. At least this is my way of doing it. The piston, piston rings, cylinder and bearings wear in very smoothly instead of being ran wide open and getting scored up, gouged and burnt to a crisp. I can afford a new spark plug and propane torch to burn the carbon out of the muffler rather than frying a new and perfectly good engine. After the break in period I gradually raise the throttle to about three quarters the second year.
thank you for Sharing your experience.
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE your welcome.
Great video man!
Yes, I will be buying another homelite trimmer when mine goes to trimmer Heaven.
I have an Echo that I keep the press&load 3 blade head on and a homelite with standard string. I prefer to use the homelite anytime I can over the echo.
Thanks for the video!
thank you Sweet Relish.
Thanks for the video. Got my trimmer going!!!
Excellent work. Thanks for the comment
I have a weird weedeater brand weedeater feather light posts and I rebuilt the carburetor this season and put new fuel lines in a new filter air Spark plug
Did you make a video on it?
INSIDE HOUSE GARAGE No I did not but I might make a video on the air filter store and putting on another gasket that I have coming
Wow, that tuned well. Smooth and responsive. Nice job. Homelites go on the curb where they belong, next to the Weed Eaters and Poulans.
They are definitely cheap
That isn't nice.
Nothing wrong with purchasing/using a homelite. If you are in a new house and on a budget, not a bad option. However, if you have a little more money, go for the premium brand trimmers. They will last a long, long time with regular maintenance and good, non-ethanol fuel mix.
Jim America you are absolutely correct.
If it works and does the job why not . Will run a trimmer fuel mix a touch on
the high side as in mix keeps them good.
Well said
I have homelite and only problem in mine was return line from carb silmply broke . And now with new one it starts emediatly and runs perfect
sounds like a good problem to have
Use fuel stabiliser. Drain tank and run engine dry after use. (If it's not gonna be used for a while.) I haven't repaired mine in many years.
thank you Red Toberts
Great video! I love watching all your videos as soon as they come out and they just make my day that much better. Keep up the good work man 👊
Thanks for the comment I really do appreciate it
I bought me a straight shaft homelite before I had a echo srm-2100 giving to me a few years ago haven't really run it yet using it for a backup
How was it for you before you got the echo?
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE I got the echo at the same time the homelite was delivered and I fixed the echo up
@@Marty1959 okay thanks
Love the video, one question what does,emission compliance period mean I have always wondered what that meant
it means that, by law, it can only make a certain amount of tailpipe emissions under the legal limit, and it was able to do so, in a certain time limit.
I have found homelite brand works just fine if its looked after and not just used and the owner will not have the trimmer serviced
i agree with you
I see Homelite products as an emergency backup in case your high end machine breaks down and you need to finish the job. Especially with how cheap they are.
that's an interesting view. Do you think they would last if you took care of it as compared to stihl or echo?
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE I believe it just depends on the quality of the engine. It is like the case with that Weedeater lawnmower that blew out with only a few hours on it
Thank for for video, I picked up a used trimmer yesterday and need to get it working. New subscriber /cheers ScrapBongo
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks a lot
no problem
this is similar similar to my home light trimmer but mine is a new version
yes this one is a bit older.
And my Q's are: Which hose goes to the fuel filter in a reservoir? How the head of the trimmer is connected to the engine? And the third and last one: Looks like that small engine does not need oil at all? which is weird. Thanks for all the given pieces of information.
The bottom hose on the the carb goes to the filter in the tank. The trimmer connected to the engine by a drive shaft. The oil is mixed with the gas
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE Et voilà. Thanks!
@@siphilipe no problem
Thank you all your videos are excellent.
Glad you like them!
I have a homelite trimmer like this one but I need to see a video to know how does that the head rotates and cuts.
Because the motor runs fine but does not make the head rotate so that it cuts
More than likely the end of the driveshaft is broken either at the head or engine.
Yes i would, but they can be a pain to start sometimes
i agree with you
My Homelite trimmer is refusing to start. I am out of ideas as to what's going on.
I bought a Murray on sale at Walmart a few years ago. Never ever had any issues with it.
what all have you done to the homelite?
I use my trimmer a lot in the summer season. I would prefer not to use a Homelite as it doesn’t have the amount of power I’m looking for. I have a stihl and I use it for trimming and clearing large amounts of brush
I completely understand how you feel. The stihl has lots of power for clearing a lot of weeds.
Second option helped me ,thank u so much :)
You're welcome 😊
Finally i buy a husqvarna 128r and i used it but it needs to bad in
What does it need?
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE well i mean BADDING. Sorry, i text wrong cus im speaking hungarian and i dont really know english grammar!Sorry
@@matejcsokbalint7104 I understand know. Thanks for the comment I appreciate it
HOMELITE really needs to change their name. YEARS AGO, when I saw the first HOMELITE tool, The name alone made me disregard it & buy another brand. What I interpreted from the name was HOME-a DIY tool for homeowners LITE- light duty.
I other words a cheap POS. I have held this opine for 50 years. Imagine my surprise when recently I stumbled across the
history of HOMELITE & it turns out, HOMELITEs first product was a chainsaw designed for farmers on the HOME farm.
It was the lightest chainsaw of its size back in those days so the LITE weight was the big selling point. No one seemed to
interpret the HOMELITE name as I did and they sold lots & lots of chainsaws, In fact, it turns out my RYOBE RY3716 is in fact
a HOMELITE HCS3740. I have learned that HOMELITE builds some pretty good stuff. But, a new name might help but after all these years they wont want to throw away all that brand recognition.
!
I see your point
If i get one cheap or free ill take it try too fix it and resale it but for what i do i need something more heavy duty
thats understandable
While I don't necessarily have the problem your video covers, I was wondering about a pull cord issue I'm experiencing with a Homelite Model UT 33600 weedeater. The model in this post looks similar. The cord retracts but will not pull out smoothly. I've seen pull cord replacement videos for all but the UT 33600. It has a much different configuration then other models and I don't see anything related to pull cord replacement. The cord does not reside in the plastic housing cover but sits on top of the flywheel & clutch assembly. It almost appears as if the company has made it more complicated for the DIY community purposely. I'm here because your postings are clear and easy to follow. Maybe you can add something I'm missing. Appreciate any feedback.
I don't think I have a video for that particular model, but If you look for my ryobi string replacement videos, it should be very close. They should be more than enough information to help you get to the string and spring, but I hate to tell you, this type of clutch and spring setup, is NOT easy to work on.
I bought a new Homelite to find it won’t start. I am not impressed. I bought a brush cutter I hope I have better luck with that !!!
sorry to hear that. Let me know how this one goes. thanks for the comment.
Great!!
thanks
Excellent video, quick question regarding this exact trimmer. If the primer bulb primes fuel perfectly, clean & clear screens in carb, but will only fire up when pouring a splash in the air intake as a self prime, what would you suggest the problem could be? poorly adjusted L & H carb jets?
yes, a carb that needs to be adjusted, to deliver more fuel to the engine would be my first thought.
But to be honest, I wouldn't waste your time opening the carb. Instead buy an aftermarket Carb, and replace it.
I bought a used Homelite trimmer at Good will store but it looks new. Why did Harco & Equipment not fix my homelite trimmer? A servicer said it is old. 😐 I bought a new fuse. It won't start. Am I missing something? I checked the clean filter.
you said you bought a new fuse?
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE 🤣
I have one , just needs to work..😂
I've found that with most things paying more doesn't get you any more
I feel the same
I am wondering if you have ever tried reconditioning the diaphragm with armor all or something similar?
yes I've used brake fluid. depending on how petrified it is it can work.
Hey thumbs up for the videos, discovered them recently after i had a few issues with my brushcutter. Great content!
I have a question, what are your thoughts for storing brushcutters inbeetween use (for me its 3-4 weeks), just pouring gas mix out of the tank or do you recomend running idle to burn any gas left in carb?
And before winter after empyting all the gas out, should i put a few drops of oil in carb throat and pull the string few times? Ive seen somewhere on the net but its not mentioned in Stihl manual for my trimmer.
Thanks, and keep up the awesome videos! :)
Thanks for watching i appreciate it. Do both to the brush cutter. After using it pour the gas out of the tank and restart it and let it run dry. As for the oil you can put some ATF in the spare plug hole and pull it over a few times.
That kind of looks like a Ryobi and a different color like that's all I don't assembly and everything
yes you are correct.
Thanks for such a detailed video! I had a quick question. My craftsman/Troy-built weed eater starts fine and runs fine for about 30 mins or so. When I shut it off to refuel or change the attachment it won’t start again… after letting it cool down for 5-10 minutes it will start but only run for maybe 30 seconds. Any thoughts on how I should troubleshoot? It’s a 4-stroke btw.
yes since it's a 4 stroke, have you ever checked the valve lash? IF it's out of tolerance, it could cause the problem you mentioned.
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE awesome thanks! I’ll try that!
Nice
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE 👍
I have a stihl trimmer with an aftermarket carb and I have to tweak the carb adjustment every time I use it (every 2 weeks or so). I'll adjust it till its running correctly (engine hot) but then next time it's just not right anymore. Any ideas?
yes, once you adjust the carb to run right let it cool down and try starting it. sometimes the settings to get it to run right are not the same for a good cold start. keep adjsuint it for a good cold start and see how far it is off for running.
I have one but it would not start flooding
Next time, try starting it, without the choke on, just to see what happens
Nicely done! I put a new carb on mine & it runs OK, but I'd like to know.... what is the base setting for each of the carb screws if you started from each of them being set all the way in?....approximately how many turns out? Thanks.
unfortunately I start the trimmer in it's default setting I get it with, and only change it, if I need too.
1 Full turn out for each as a starting point
One to one and quarter turn out. For both screws. Additionally I set the idle screw in higher than normal after rebuild to get it started and warm. Once warm, I adjust low idle mixture and drop idle screw rpm. Then rev up and adjust high idle mixture.
Isee air bubble on the gas tube when I press the bubble.is that a causes of wont start? if so what do you do to take the air bubble out?
the air bubble in the tube should move thru the lines and carb while pressing the bulb.
So the air bubbles is ok, not reson for the nonstandard, correct?
there should be no bubbles in the fuel filter line, the bubbles should be in the return line and that's okay to have.

@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE guess what country I live in before scrolling down.

how do u take off the rotating head? i can take the part that holds the string off fine but can’t figure out the actual head peice
I'm not sure on this one, and I don't it anymore either
I gave a brand new homelite to my neighbor because he trashed his last one ...my father in law gave it to me because he had trouble with pulling starting so he’s on electric now. But my neighbor is on of those guys that knows jack shit about engines !
it was nice of you to give it to him
What would be the problem with the trimmer if it’s not spulling any line out when you hit the head of it in the ground
either someone installed the line incorrectly, like winding it the wrong direction, or the line is melted in place on the spool
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE Or the spool retainer is stuck.
Is it true a clogged gas cap can cause lack of vacuum and no start? If so, do you have any recommendations on cleaning the cap on these? (I've already replaced the fuel lines and fuel filter along with cleaning the carb)
it won't cause lack of vacuum, it causing the fuel to not leave, as air can't vent into the tank. No its better to replace the cap.
The cap has a vent valve in it. Its made of neoprene and cant be serviced. But your trimmer should start with a bad cap. Only after running a bit will it stall because it can no longer pull gas from the tank due to a vacuum created.
My won’t start I put gas and pump it and did everything
then you might need a new carb.
What trimmers do you really love to fix🤔
Hmmm...i like easy fixes..so stihl.
What Is A Compression Stroke?
When you pull the rope its the pull you feel from the engine.
what is the best fuel stabilizer for this machine
I use Sta-Bil, because from the testing I've seen on this platform it seems to work well.
Isnt homelite now owned by ryobi?
I'm not sure. But I understand why it seems that way.
I left fuel in mines over winter break now it won’t start. Should I drain old fuel and put in new fuel?
It might help. Did the Fuel have ethanol in it?
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE yes it did
give it a try, but I think the damage was already done to the carb.

How to change oil?
In my lawnmower, I drain the gasoline, so I can tip the mower on it's side to drain the Oil.
Im watching this because a friend gave me his non working homelite to troubleshoot. They are oddball to work on. I would not buy one myself.
what part about it is the oddest?
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE This one has the primer bowl attached to the plastic shroud that is part of the air cleaner mount. It has a intake hose from the tank and out feed hose to the carby. The carby has a return hose back to the tank. And its one of those non adjustable barrel carbs. Its really fiddly to hook those hoses up with big hands. This is sold in New Zealand so might be different Homelite specs. . Also theres the plastic cowling with the vents and one of the slots is directly inline with the exhaust screws . Pain in the backside .I just chopped out a window ,Save time taking the whole cowling apart to remove the exhaust. This trimmer starts okay but dies after 10 seconds or when given throttle. Cheers.
thank you for the information
@@INSIDEHOUSEGARAGE I ended up swapping it with a different style carby. It works fine. The homelite carby needed a pacman tool to adjust which i dont have. Cheers.
