Frequently asked questions

What fuel mixture does the Husqvarna 130L require?

The Husqvarna 130L string trimmer features a 2-stroke engine that requires a 50:1 gas-to-oil ratio. For optimal engine performance and longevity, mix 1 US gallon of fresh, unleaded gasoline (89 octane or higher, max 10% ethanol) with 2.6 fl. oz. of high-quality Husqvarna 2-stroke air-cooled engine oil. To find our convenient pre-mixed fuel, visit: https://www.husqvarna.com/us/fuel-oil-lubricants/2-stroke-fuel-and-oil/ 

How do you reload the line on the Husqvarna 130L RapidReplace™ trimmer head?

Reloading the line on the 130L is fast and simple thanks to the RapidReplace trimmer head. You align the arrows on the trimmer head, feed the replacement line directly through, and twist the bump knob to wind it in. There is no need to disassemble the head.

What size trimmer line does the Husqvarna 130L use?

The Husqvarna 130L is equipped with the T25 trimmer head. This trimmer head can accept .065"-.095" trimmer line diameters. The recommended line diameter is .095".

Is the Husqvarna 130L a 2-stroke or 4-stroke string trimmer?

The Husqvarna 130L is a gas-powered 2-stroke string trimmer. It features a 28cc engine that delivers 1 hp of output shaft power, combining lightweight maneuverability (12.2 lbs) with high-torque cutting performance parallel to the ground.

Can you use attachments, such as an edger or pole saw, with the Husqvarna 130L?

No, the Husqvarna 130L is a dedicated straight-shaft trimmer and does not feature a detachable click-on shaft. It is engineered specifically for reliable weed eating, trimming, and light edging. For multi-tool versatility, explore the Husqvarna Combi Trimmer lineup.

How does Smart Start® technology work on the Husqvarna 130L?

Husqvarna’s Smart Start® technology is engineered to reduce starter cord resistance. When paired with the digital ignition, air purge pump (which clears fuel lines), and the auto-return stop switch, the engine triggers quickly and effortlessly with minimal pull force.

How much does the Husqvarna 130L weed eater weigh?

The Husqvarna 130L has an unladen weight of 12.2 lbs (excluding cutting equipment). Its straight-shaft design and ergonomic curved handle evenly distribute this weight, minimizing user fatigue and making it highly maneuverable during extended residential lawn care.

What should I do if my Husqvarna 130L won't start?

If your trimmer won't start, check these three common steps: first, press the air purge bulb 5–7 times until fuel fills the carburetor; second, ensure you are using a fresh 50:1 gas mix (old fuel degrades within 30 days); third, check the spark plug (Champion QCJ-8Y) to ensure the electrode gap is set at 0.02 inches and free of carbon buildup.

What warranty covers the Husqvarna 130L string trimmer?

For residential consumers, the Husqvarna 130L typically comes with a 2-year standard limited warranty. This warranty can often be extended to up to 5 years by purchasing qualifying Husqvarna pre-mixed fuel at the time of equipment purchase.

What is Ethanol Free Gas & Where to Find it Near Me

Ethanol fuel, a gas additive, is everywhere! Nowadays, the gas you pump from almost every gas station contains a blend of gasoline and ethanol. The percentage of ethanol blend is indicated by the E number. For example E10 means the gas mixture contains 90% gas and 10% ethanol. In automobiles, ethanol fuel won’t do much harm to your car's engine. However, when you're using gas with ethanol mixture in your outdoor power equipment, like lawn mowers, chainsaws, trimmers and leaf blowers, you run the risk of engine damage and incurring costly repairs. You should be using ethanol free gas in your small engine outdoor power equipment.
