I'm wondering if you can help me. I need a 10' top rail--I have three 8' bottom rails but need 18' total. Any idea how to get a 10' top rail? Can I cut the three 8' to make 18'? Thanks for any advice you can give me.
Thanks for the video! Have you guys found any good line for these things. The line we have just gets eaten up. Also when you touch the head to get more line to come out you have to keep taking the head apart because the line gets pinched on its self.
Hi, It looks so simple. I want to know if required length is larger than how to extend to. Thanks and wait for your reply and do I need to make sure to left or right side or it works on both sides.
Take the main needle out first before separating the halves and you won't bend it like you saw happen here. I love how he is like "Don't know how that happened!" - LMAO. I'm like "You bent it!" There is no way you could put that needle back in and have it be adjustable since it would not seat in the jet correctly. He then calls that needle the jet. It is NOT the jet, it is the main needle. The jet is the small brass screw with a hole it in it that the needle bottoms out into, and is how you adjust the fuel flow rate under load. Also, no one calls the carburetor bowl the 'sediment bowl". The sediment bowl is the glass bowl where the fuel flows into the carburetor. And that test he did blowing cleaner out the throttle? Absurd. That is not how you test a carburetor. The fact that the tractor started is a testament to the fact that these old Marvel Schembler carbs run like champs and have WIDE tolerances as the engine isn't that picky. My 1957 Ford 640 starts every time, although I DID just rebuild the carb and replace the rusted out exhaust pipe and manifold. If you really want to see how to do this - go to Rachell Gingell's site, and save yourself having to buy a new main needle!
Who needs Ethanol in your fuel when you can just pour the water strait in...Brilliant?!! I use the pure gas too in generators, mowers & things like this that may not get used much. Stuff actually starts when you need it
The paint is still near perfect. The area I was most concerned with is around the tank if I spill a little. But it has held up there as well. I will mention I only use ethanol free gas so maybe it is easier on the paint.
do you have a video how to loose the clutch from my trimmer..it's a Stihl FS45,it's run very badly,only for a few seconds...had Ewen the carburettor loose..
I actually do like pulling trim. The tool is excellent, but if all i had was regular pry bars all you need is a block of wood to spread the surface area of what you're prying against. A block also gives you additional leverage. Pulling trim has never been hard, but this tool does make it a more efficient process as a 10 year finish carpenter.
Worst video for showing how to repair a carburetor on a 2 stroke I have ever seen! So much not done and so much important info missing, imo your asking for it not to work!
Thank you. This helped me fix my fs 40c for a few dollars. It had git to point would not run at all. Had been down on power and sluggish for a while. Put a new spark plug that was correctly gapped and cleaned my totally blocked arrestor. It then fired right up, full power with no sluggish throttle or delay. Tip, find a very thin screwdriver so you can fit between the thin slots of the engine cover. Wire brush worked perfect on it, took maybe 5 minutes total to remove, clean and reinstall.
Update: I just put this cheap carb onto my trimmer. AFTER 2 pulls!!! It started right up. I was like WOW. NO adjustments. On cold start I closed the choke. Then when it tried to start I open the choke. I was about to throw this thing in the garbage.
One of the best carb cleaning video's I've ever seen Thanks for secret tips I keep a lot of those crush washers gaskets for that style fuel filter You can also test your float after assembly as you did by simply lightly blowing into fuel line and raising and lowering the float as you did.
Remove the end stop/limit ramp from the top of the rail then slide the carriage onto the rail until it stops & switch the carriage on then use the remote control to engage the carraige cog onto the track
Enjoyed your video with a few questions. Are the crimpers available to rent? If there is no drain nearby, any suggestions for catching the condensate or simply using a pan work? How much condensate would you expect? I’m sure on a humid day in a garage you’d get quite a bit. Another comment regarding using teflon tape. Besides getting a better thread seal, where you’re using dissimilar metals together the teflon provides an insulator preventing galvanic corrosion. This is true with any two dissimilar metals including stainless steel to steel. The steel will act as a sacrificial anode and corrode. .
No drain - if it's near your HVAC system (with central air), then use the drain that the AC coil drains into (which sometimes could be a condensate pump).
I get mine at Quik Trip, they have prem, with no alcohol, there are ways of removing alcohol from the gas using distilled water, by leaving it sit over night with food color in it, you can also get good gas at Bucees travel stops
An older video, but very relevant to my experience with this tool. I bought mine and used it over several days in very rocky soil, putting in uprights for a retaining wall. It worked great. I drained the fuel, ran it out, and stored it. Six months later... nothing. Couldn't get it to run at all. I practically rebuilt it and still couldn't get it to run. I now have a nearly brand new, inoperable, earth auger. Money not well spent. I am curious to know if yours is still running. I have read numerous stories about this and other brands that just stop running without an obvious reason.
