Thanks for this video. I have this same carburetor on a string trimmer. On the metering diaphragm side, there is a brass looking part with a whole in it! Is there a PLASTIC PIECE underneath there. Accidentally poked a hole in it. Now my carburetor does not run correctly. It will run in 2nd position. Move it to 3rd and it boggs down. Than cuts off.

Hi steve I am 11 years old and I know alot about chainsaws you inspired me to learn about chainsaws I watched all your videos about chainsaws. I own a chainsaw and it is in good condition because i watched your videos. I am subscribed and have on post notifications. I had a prolem with my chainsaw that it would not start and i rebuilt the carburetor and ajusted the carb and it worked like new. THE BEST SMALL ENGINE SALOON AND THE BEST SMALL ENGINE MECHANIC.

Don't know if anyone else has mentioned this but a step ALOT of ppl miss is setting the needle valve lever. In most cases the end of the lever furthest away from the needle valve should be flush with carb chamber body. If too high will flood ...if too low will lack fuel flow.

@SmooveBee1 9 месяцев назад

Good approach is, in addition to this carb soft-parts kit instllation: do the fuel lines, the fuel-filter / pickup-tube, primer bulb, any gaskets that you damage removing the carb; and inspect: air filter and spark plug; be sure to clean the spark-arrestor screen carefully with a mapp / propane torch, and you shoud be good to go! I like to use original STIHL but I don't mind STENS. Do not discard your STIHL carburetor under any circumstance; the word on the street is to "NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR" on the carb body due to some damage that can occur to the mechanisms behind the welch plugs; With the STIHL gear, you cannot rule-out an intermittent coil-pack, either, so never assume that just because it is sparking, that is is OK, I have seen this a few times where the coil makes a weak spark or maybe out-of-time-spark (I don't know for sure), but make no assumptions that a spark is sufficient. If anyone else knows more about failure mechanisms of the coil-pack, please let me know; the new coil-pack has solid-state components onboard (such as rev-limiter) and these complicate diagnostics related to coil-pack.

Two days ago I rebuild my old Russian weed eater's carburetor using your advice. I changed the diaphragm, also that thin rectangular membrane. Since the piston head was black, I had to remove carbon residues on the top of it. I had no special cleaning substances for that, so I had to improvise. I used sandpaper dipped in engine oil, then dry sandpaper, and at the end I polished the piston with a felt disk mounted in my drill machine, it surely looked better after that comparing to those small dimples left after the first stage of the cleaning. Today I put the engine back together. It starts very easy, works normally. I love it. Many thanks, Steve! ❤

Oh, did the job with Busch Light. Not much in the flavor department, but I didn’t get all buzzed up & screw up the carb either. It’s s fine line!

@Memphian1000 2 года назад

This is the only video this guy's made that really falls short. There's several other basic things that can be done at this point including pulling the idle and high speed adjustment screws and blasting them out with carb cleaner and poke a wire through the jet if there is one sand blow it out. If it's gummed up just replacing the diaphragms won't work.

I just decided I'm "over" carbureted lawn equipment! I don't have any problem keeping "regular" carbs tuned and running right (I'm a trained and certified motorcycle mechanic), but for the life of me, I cannot keep this style carb running. I have a Ryobi leaf blower that starts and then shuts off right away, over and over and over again, and I have a Remington string trimmer that ran like an absolute champ with a brand-new Walbro carb on it a year ago, but now when I'm ready to use it, it also is a bear to start and won't idle. DONE! I'll keep my carbureted chainsaw, lawn mower and snowblower (for now), but from now on, as far as my other lawn equipment is concerned, it's batteries or bust! And yes, I only use ethanol-free fuel, and regarding my string trimmer, I drained the fuel and ran the carb dry when I stored it for the winter...

Thanks for the video and instruction. Just did a partial re-build on a Stihl 023 chainsaw (Walbro WT 215 carb) using this video and it worked out great. The metering diaphragm did have a bit of a click to it. I don't do this often so I took lots of pictures as I went along to make sure I got things back together correctly. I also had to adjust the Low speed idle just a bit after getting things back together as I found there was too much fuel getting into the cylinder, causing my spark plug to get wet (flooded). A minor adjustment made all the difference. The chainsaw runs great now and I can sit it down and it keeps idling (yay). Love your videos and thanks again..

Hey Steve, how's that brew? Yup, love this cutter. Thanks for the response and help. No, hadn't tried playing with the needles. This zama only has a low anyway. Spark resistor was fine. Not the problem, but the throttle cable seems to have stretched 1/8" as well. Need a new one but I shouldn't need to touch the throttle for start anyway? Noticed primer bulb in video is full. Mines not. Maybe now bigger issue. Jambed a wire down the main Walsh plug trying to clean it. Forced it into the main chamber.. Looks like my stupidity will now cost a new carb! Some sort of check valve under the Walsh? Any thoughts and any experience with a Hipa carb? $20 incl. Air filter and spark plug. Beat that. Thanks again

I'd guess the trimmer, but I'd like to be sure. I've got a Victoria Bitter and a local DuClaw's craft beer chilling just in case it gets complicated!

Or you can just go on eBay, and buy a brand new carburetor. I bought one for my Stihl FS55 grass trimmer about a month ago, and it came with a new set of fuel lines, a new fuel filter, a new spark plug, two spare primer bulbs, both gaskets, and a new air filter, all for $11.98 with free shipping.

@osu67 Well, according to a quick internet search, Stihl carbs are made in China. Here's what www.b4usa.com says: STIHL Inc. Updated, July 13, 2016 by contributing editors. "Search America 1st" Always verify USA Origin Most of the STIHL products sold in the USA are made in Va. Beach, Virginia and a majority of the STIHL engines or “powerheads are built in the United States from domestic and foreign parts and components”. The carburetors are manufactured in China; STIHL purchased Zama Corporation, Ltd., Hong Kong, on December 31, 2008.

@seabass22 4 года назад

Lol I bought one. Ran like new! First yard, go to weed eat and it starts bogging down then locks up. Did it again. Had to finish the yard so went and bought a new weed eater, because I was tired of it. Come out the store and gas is pouring out of the weed eater. Apparently it got stuck open and was flooding the engine. Wound up fixing the original carb later.

Timing was perfect. Getting ready to rebuild a Poulan Wildkat I got free helping a friend. It sat for a long time and the fuel lines dried out and crumbled away, so figured the carburetor was toast too. Guessing a two beer job with watching your videos. Stay awesome.

Not even a minute into the video and I was off to the store. I had the right beer, just not the right size.

Steve last video I watched you were superb and I attributed your intellect to the Bud you were drinking. Today with that Labatts you seem even smarter. I noted 2 on the table. Be careful not to get the blue flu.

Hey Steve, thanks for the video. Just wanted to let you know it took me more than 1 beer to rebuild the carb on my string trimmer 🍻

The primer buttons should be soft as well. If they are hard and brittle they can leak.

Hi Steve, this is Steve here from Chelmsford in Essex UK. Thanks for the message to your UK followers about the petrol (gasoline), it made me smile. Just a quick word to thank you to you for making great educational videos. I've been having trouble starting my old McCulloch chainsaw so looked at RU-vid for help & as usual you came up. I love watching you & Chickanic for help on small machinery, you never disappointed me your both wonderful. Thanks once again & keep on filming. 👍🏻 Steve from the UK.

Thank for walking us through carburetor 101. I just finished my Stihl BG 55. It is working like brand new again.

@jontheroofer1968 6 лет назад

I happen to disagree. You said any beer would do, but I believe if you used a thicker beer let's say, Guinness as your repair beer it would likely wind up gumming up the idle jet in 3 to 5 tanks. Otherwise, spot-on!

@StevesSmallEngineSaloon 6 лет назад

LOL, right on Jon...

Guinness isn’t a beer.

@bernardviau1795 4 года назад

I have a weedeater that wasn't working properly so I put it aside 3 years ago. By watching your video and learning how to install a kit and how to adjust a carburetor I had it running again and it is working great. Thanks Steve. Bern

@davidstepeck2644 Год назад

I watched this video a while ago just because I like Steve’s channel. However, I watched today since my Stihl chainsaw isn’t idling. It idles fine on half choke so I knew it was the carb. Thanks Steve! Dave from Connecticut…out.

Nice videos Steve. I'll be back to watch a few others. I've a quest to repair a Craftsman (Poulan) I received free from a nephew. I noted the gas lines needed replacement, changed them along with plug, ignition and I still can't get it to pop off. It's a battle of wills. I have the kit, just didn't think I need that till I got it to pop off. LOL

@russellscott1151 2 года назад

You showed us how to replace the carb parts but maybe should have started the video by explaining why or how we know that this needs to be done!? Great channel thanks Steve.

@lawnmowermanlawnmowerman9930 5 лет назад

You are 100% correct,I rebuild probably 75 to 100 of these carbs. each year due to customers using ethanol fuel or ethanol fuel blends which is extremely harsh on those carb diaphrams.

@StevesSmallEngineSaloon 5 лет назад

Right on....

@haraldasu3244 4 года назад

Steve, you vidoes are great. Well thought out easy to follow. Just a note. For a guy like me....not much time. Buy a new carb on line. About $25. Took about 10 minutes to put in.

@marshallbronne2142 3 года назад

Thanks for all the good info you put out there. I've worked on hundreds of small engines, but have been fighting a chainsaw I bought new for a few years now. Very cold natured critter. It sat for about a year with fuel in it so I cleaned/rebuilt the carb, tank etc.(I got rid of the limiter caps too) When finished, and back together it wouldn't even pop. Watched your video on saw carb rebuild and the lightbulb came on. Switched the purge bulb lines and it started on the first pull. Thanks again!!!
