Blog Subject:  LEHR 25cc weed eater Leaking Propane / Reset diaphragm

So i have a LEHR 25 CC 4-Stroke Curved-Shaft Propane Powered Eco Trimmer, and the stupid thing was leaking propane. So i am going to show you how to reset the diaphragm.


What happened was i was out of town at work ( yea unusual for anyone who knows me LOL, Im always out of town)
And Angelz is my GF and she is pretty independent (even if she is a blond) so she was reading that you have to change the oil every 10 hours of run time.
She changed the oil and when she filled it back up CORRECTLY to the fill line, the manufacturer FAILED to mention the DIP stick is wrong, so you have to fill JUST below FILL line or, the back pressure causes the DIAPHRAGM of the carburetor to pop out of the float hole, thus causing the float to stick open causing PROPANE LEAKAGE.

I have posted some pictures to show you the process in RESETTING the DIAPHRAGM.
