Many Craftsman's were built my MTD, which owns Troy-Bilt so I could see how that aftermarket TB carb would possibly work. The issue was when I originally searched for parts I couldn't find anything aftermarket using the OEM 696949 carburetor part number. But I wanted to include that aftermarket one in the video, as something you could use as an option, because it could help someone else out!

@daintyt1 3 года назад

im having the same problem

@petersack5074 Год назад

MTD, makes A L O T of yard engine tools. Most, are under any other name: Crapsman, er craftsman, b & s, Yard machines; yard works, etc. THE part numbers, of MTD stuff, always has 3 digits, then a hyphen, and the rest of the number. BE CAREFULL, chinese clones of most all yard ' stuff '' is usually interchangeable. Like pull starter mechanisms, for lawnmowers; MTD mower ones, can be put on some Honda engines, etc. Inter change with spark plugs, etc.

I realize that this was for video content but it’s just not feasible to fix a $225 USD value trimmer with a $100 carburetor. I received one of these as a gift. The first thing I noticed is that it was extremely heavy and bulky. The second thing was that you can’t even tilt one of these even slightly like when trimming a ditch or hill without it dumping oil through the breather hose. This saturates the air filter even at the correct level oil level and smokes like a freight train. Don’t even think about trying to turn it upside down to edge because of the same issue. The recoils are very weak and the plastic starter pawls broke several times. I thought that my 2 cycle had way more power although theoretically it shouldn’t have. My first Echo 2 cycle lasted 17 years while this lasted about 17 months. I wouldn’t sell it for any amount because the customer will not be happy it.

We sold this to a good friend of ours, big guy who loved it. Thing cuts down even the biggest weeds with no problems. He was always very pleased with it.

I just finished working on a Ryobi 4 stroke trimmer . Only had to do fuel lines , and adjust carb . Runs great . Great video , keep them coming .

@outdoorjanitor1551 27 дней назад

I love the Stihl hybrid 4 cycle (oil mix with gas) BR 800 blower-quiet, low tone instead of nasty 2-cycle whine & long lasting - gotta remember to use oil mix gas tho -wrecked one of the 600.00 devices by using straight gas

@suzannestehlik2479 2 года назад

What a fantastic video and explanation! I’m no expert and now believe I can fix my trimmer!!

@watermanone7567 4 года назад

Great job. Some of those carbs have a plastic or metal plug in the center of the throttle shaft that can be removed and the carb adjusted. Some don't. I had one in my shop that I could not get parts for and I removed the plug and under it was an adjustment screw. I got lucky on that one. Thanks for excellent video's.

Right on brother at some point in time everything will be going electric and 2 and 4 stroke engines will be collectable. It is just the cost of battery replacement that kills electric right now but battery technology is getting better.

@penguinjoe1961 2 года назад

As I am faced with replacing the carb on one of these, I watched this video with interest. I found a walbro carb on ebay pretty cheap (it was $18.11+$16.15 shipping - ) not sure if it is a counterfeit knockoff, but it does have "Walbro" cast into the side of it. I noticed these do have a visible low speed adjustment screw as well as a hidden high speed screw in the middle of the throttle shaft behind a plastic plug. There seem to be a lot of them up there sold from the US. Not sure if it is a new generation of these carbs, but thought you might find it noteworthy. Cheers!

@milwsdl39 4 года назад

Great video I actually have an older craftsman two stroke carb has issues did the hole take the car about sprayed out probably end up changing the carb but like you said because nowadays it’s easier and cheaper to change the carb then have spent time messing with it great job man be safe out there

@ken4334 3 года назад

Nice tips cheers,I have the same spray the carb no turn over.Check spark got spark.hmmm

@EliminatorPerformance 3 года назад

Sometimes old fuel can dilute the carb cleaner, remove the carb or fuel line and try again

@WillB-lv1xg 3 года назад

I would have went straight to cracking open the carb. #1 problem is a damaged diaphragm carb. I fixed one of these attached to a tiller shaft. One of the smallest flatheads I've seen. I bought a aftermarket carb for like 30 something dollars US on Ebay.

@dumbluck6180 2 года назад

Nicely done!

@petersack5074 Год назад

Alot of times, the diaghram is gummed up. This, does the same job for a 2 stroke, as a float/needle valve in a regular carb. Trimmers are a ' special ' type/different carb design. The primer bulb, is more of a 'purge' of gas, than a pump; which is why there is a fuel 'return' line. No excess gas, to flood,when the carb is functioning properly.

@timgile8144 3 года назад

The carb you purchased is adjustable. High, Low and Idle have adjustments

@dwightschweer3086 2 года назад

@jameskrivitsky9715 4 года назад

A friend gave me a Stihl trimmer with issues. I took it apart to find the clutch area plastic somehow got overheated and melted near the pull-start. The plastic fan melted itself to the clutch. Parts cost more than a replacement unit. So it will be for salvage. I am anxious to see what you find rattling inside. Thanks J K

@rogerbranch9248 2 года назад

Awesome I just bought a four-stroke weed eater snapper cranks but will not take the gas

@magicone9327 2 года назад

There are adjustments on the oem but they are hidden under an epoxy cap. Center line of the barrel on the linkage side is the brass end with a hole in the middle of it. Under that expo you cap is the adjustment screw. It's hidden due to government regulations of not wanting you to adjust it possibly causing pollution.

@barackobama5304 2 года назад

Yeah an extra quarter turn on the trimmer adjusting screw could cause a smog problem

@samuelvelez1643 4 года назад

@BenDover4Mee Год назад

If a 4 cycle trimmer like this happens to roll over on it's side while traveling and stays in that position for a while, and then refuses to start afterwards (after doing many of the above things - spark plug, removing and cleaning carb, changing filters etc), is it possible that oil could have gotten into the engine and messing something up?

I have the exact same model. This video helped me repair mine. After about a year, the string won't engage to start it. Any suggestions?

Gr8 vid Yah when ever my 2 stroke MTD made Murray 25cc goes I may go for a 40v. I have some run off areas that need the power to keep the weeds down. On the hill My m2510 has been going good on its 4th season. Always starts. I always use non ethanol fuel with synthetic 2 cycle oil A lot of the craftsman equipment are made by Troybilt.

Usually if I can find a cheap aftermarket carb and swap it out, some new fuel line and both filters, it's worth it. For under $100 a customer could have a machine up and running again.
