There was a store in my town back in the late 90s called double play it sold the same stuff and rented movies and had a pool table lol I played there every Friday night for a whole summer memories thanks guys I needed that

"If you own a shop you shouldn't be watching this, you should be fixing equipment" 🤣 well said! Thank you brother! For all the help!

If I yelled like you do after a repair job I would get so light headed I'd pass clean out. Good video as always.

I been on my knees 40 years doing concrete work I am good can still walk a mile every day lol.God bless y'all real good.

I love this channel, always great information, and procedures. I get a few easy cases, but more than my fair share of bigger problems. A gentleman gave me a power washer, he said he thought it had bad gas. When I checked it out, it had no compression, I checked the valve adjustment, fine. Pulled the head (OHV) needed a valve job. I see guys get mowers, chain saws, weed eaters, and just need a few adjustments and they work fine. I get the stuff that needs coils, and carburetor work. I enjoy working on them though, and when I get done they run great. However, I have a good many that just needed minor adjustments. So I'm good.

Woo Hoo another video. This Sunday just got better!!!

Can't beat taryl on a Sunday afternoon keep up the great work merry Christmas. 🎄

Great vid Taryl. I fly large RC Gas engine warbirds and learning everything you can about carbs is very valuable info

Perfect Sunday, Mustie1 & Taryl

I dont need to learn anything about lawn equipment I just watch these videos because there hilarious keep up the good work bud

Excellent job on the carbatratior rebuild. Those Echo tillers are great lil machines. Lifetime warranty on the tines, too.

WOW.Taryal Stens gives love notes on their parts.

Unfortunately for me , or fortunately I guess I have only just discovered your channel. Love your work sir and I’m learning a lot and the comedy skits are amazing too. Thank you 🙏

I learned the hard way on a lawn mower carburetor sprayed right back in my eye I was definitely awake after that lol.

I beg to differ, I own my own shop, and I still come here, but I come here for haircare and teef tips..... You all crack me up, keep the videos coming, and uncle Andy is up to no good for sure.

41:58 Nothing says "aim for the middle" like giving your kid a Hot Wheels of a Honda Odyssey.

COOL! spent a lot of time running a tiller just like that one ...

Thank you for the baseball card Uncle Andy! I learn something every video Taryl! Good work Cameraman!

Actually I was thinking you should put the tiller on a bench and save your back.

I can't get enough of taryl fixes all

It’s about time Terryldactor put another video out. You wouldn’t believe all the different carb kits zama sells for these small 2 stroke engines(oops I meant motors). Nice thorough job there Terryl

Thank you for your videos and explaining things properly.. much thanks

We have a carpet business in our town ( won't mention the name ) but their motto is BLANK CARPET " THE BEST LAY AROUND ". GREAT VID. AS ALWAYS TARYL, VERY EDUCATIONAL FOR US HOME GUYS, T.Y. SO MUCH, Henry from PA.

I can't believe anybody would give you a thumbs down with the education you give for FREEEE . I fix all my chainsaw weed eaters and lawn mowers after watching Grass Rats

I love the little background soundtrack on these videos

Yall should be nominated for an ''emmy''. That's what emmy loooo harriss said

Hey uncle andy is back in town! If it wasnt for taryl and his lawnmower and small engine repair of all kinds, there would be no good repair advice,dont forget taryl to charge uncle andy 20% of his sales.

THANK YOU! Recently picked up a hedge trimmer with a zama carb, wont run hot, needs a good go through. Having troubles finding a kit though because my carb model is listed as discontinued. 😢

I had a herd of Volkswagens in the 1990s. Yeah, had a lot of fun. Learned everything about them. Hey, they were all junk when I got them... Already half buried in the grave. But i resurrected all of them. I learned how to keep them alive, road worthy, and even stepped to building a few "race" motors: custom casted pro-modified heads, Engel Cams, 4-Tuned exhaust, Weber 48IDAs, high performance Demello cranks, yadda-yadda... It didn't happen in two steps. More like a 3 years journey. Because I started from scratch: I just returned from 4 years of hut-two-three--four...US Army. So i got good at tuning(stock) engines... Pretty much mastered the Solex, Weber, Dellorto, and Kadron induction systems. Well, I learned that them 25-30 year old engines and carbs(especially) get old and wore out. But they still run! And after you have the cases remachined, rebuilt and even replace a bunch of stuff with NEW parts, you have a great vehicle. Nothing else like dumping the throttle on two 48IDAs! DaaaaWooosh! You could hear them toilet bowls flush. Then i purchased a '89 IROC-Z, with the L98(350-V8, Bosch TPI Fuel Injection...). Gobbs of torque! ...But now I had to learn fuel injection...! "Just because ." Well, after 3 years of owning the IROC...I only had to have the injectors flushed ONE TIME! IT NEVER BROKE DOWN! So I have a small stable of Stihls now. Learning about them Zama carbs... an entirely different mode of carburetion. It's all about setting the "base idle": rpm,idle mixture and timing. And cleaning that dang spark arrestor screen. Them yard machines work in a dusty dirty environment!

I think I have blown out that check valve on a couple of Carburetors! Glad to learn about that now. I have cleaned and/or rebuilt them and then they siphon the fuel out of the tank when not running.

I am sending Taryl coffee cups for Christmas.

There is no way you got that grommet into the fuel tank that easily. You're the man Taryl!

Uncle Andy....he is the man.

I like anything funny and this is one of the funniest channels on RU-vid. The How To knowledge is just added bonus. Always great videos! Big time entertainment. Lots of laughs. Keep em coming.

That was an excellent video on how to repair a Zama carb. Thanks for learning me something. Merry Christmas.

Working on mini tillers is a pain sometimes. Very finicky with adjustments.

Guys, your videos are great. Tarryl should be nominated for an Oscar :-)

👍Good stuff T! I bought a 4 cycle MANTIS like this one. Didn't want the gas and oil mixing BS! I slit seeded my yard. Enjoy using it too. Talk about a workhorse!!! Worked great and results were so much better than just throwing seed and covering w/ soil. I guess it aerated the ground too. If you're on the fence w/ buying one of these cultivators.... pull the trigger!! You'll be glad ya did. ✌️👍 Thx Taryl. Good info.

The eyes attract brake parts cleaner too... ouch.

I have an old Mantis that looks exactly like the Echo you just serviced that is having issues. I wonder if they are twins!

I agree. I watch you for the entertainment but I have picked up some great tips on how to do fix small engines. Thanks. Happy Holidays

It is so easy and cheap to find a knock off carb on Amazon these days, but I really prefer to rebuild the originals when possible. Just look at the casting marks and machining on the ZAMA carbs, it is far an above the ones I have gotten from Amazon. Thanks for all the tips Taryl!

I’m really concerned about your knees man. 😂

Thanks Taryl! Very informative. Merry Christmas to you and the crew!

Man, I bet I've ruined every carb I've tried to rebuild. I don't think I've ever seen a video where someone say anything about the check valve. I thoroughly clean out every hole. Thanks for the lesson.

Thank you

21:45 RIGHT ON. ! Some of us, REAL PEOPLE, have to, and MUST call a 'spade' a spade. Twitter, sh**book, and others, make young people, devoid of history knowledge, geographical knowledge, and other 'real world '' wisdom, and analytical skills. Anyway, enuff - stuff. Thanks, Taryl for education to ALL VIEWERS, for 2-cycle carb knowledge. Same atmospheric pressure, gravity logic as 4 cycle engine carbs, but a bit different methodology of using them. We all need this, folks, as the world is full on sitting, non-working small motor 'stuff'. I redo generators, all aspects. BE safe, folks !.

How did you not step on that air filter when it was on the floor? That's a pro.

Dead on about lift tables being clutter collectors. Have three of them and it seems like every time I want to use one of them, I have to un load it first, but it sure does make the work a little bit easier on this 72 year old back.

Poor Taryl having to work on the floor down on his knees on the hard cold concrete ..

Just inherited a mantis/echo tiller. Gonna have to do much the same to it,plus a throttle cable. It hasn't ran in ten years. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills. Happy Easter!🙏

LOL, I love the dramatic music.

ALWAYS BE CAREFUL WITH CARB SPRAY IT REALLY HURTS WHEN IT GETS IN YOUR EYES Ask me how I know

The first 10 seconds "felt" like fragile rock, I was waiting for the dog to appear.

Dr Taryl the well respected lawnmower Surgeon! Lol

Dang it Teryl! I got exited when you were going to change your pad but then you started playing with your diaphram!

Thank you so much for posting this video! Because of you I was able to fix the broken fuel line on my tiller 🤗

I spent a life time of working on various Industrial/Commercial machinery with half that time having to work on my knees, sometimes on my stomach. What doesn't Kill you makes you Stronger. From your friendly Neighbor in Louisville (an area we call Kentuckiana).

Nothings better than Taryl pronouncing carburetor as carbetrator😄

Great video Taryl I also use carb spray to check an engine no problems at all

Nice video but maybe should have put the lines in before re-installing the carb!

I'm pretty sure you didn't forget to put the screen back in the carb. Right Taryl????

Love the informative videos Taryl. Gotta get some more of these.

Is it bad if I don’t have any of the equipment he works on but I still watch every one!!! Wooo hooo!!!!

I learn alot by watching ur video's keep the videos coming

You guys are great!!

thanks for your vids and hope all you folks are well

Great! Bubba Ho-Tep is great! I’m going out to the garage right now to tear up my Echo TC-210 tiller/cultivator.

I had to rebuild the carburetor on my Mom's Mantis tiller with the Zama carb and had the check valve in the main jet leaking and you have to pull the main jet out to replace the check valve. The guy at the lawn mower shop didn't carry it and I had to order it from Zama. The guy said the carb would never be right if I replaced the check valve but I managed to change it and the tiller ran smooth when I finished. If the check valve in the main jet is leaking you won't be able to get the tiller to idle properly. Zama had a good description on their web page on how the carb works and how to check things.

Mate! I love your videos so much. Soo funny and insightful. You’re de man!

Great video Taryl! Wishing you and the guys a very Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

I normally just buy a new aftermarket carb unless I have the time to tinker. lol

it's a garden scratcher not the space shuttle.and there's my dinner!

I like the fire it fire it up.......cracks me up.I enjoy your channel.

Thank you for saving me some money. I’ll try to fix anything

yep carb spray does hurt when it gets in your eyes but not half as much as a spark from a grinder thanks for the video guys

Be the crank seals too since the two cycle

I've pulled those check valves out before with a wood screw, and the bigger main jet check valve can be driven straight through into the carb throat and removed... but it's still usually better off to replace the carb by the time you figure in shop rate, especially if the carb still doesn't work right and end up being replaced anyway.

thanks taryl great video

Every two stroke I've opened up that's ran in the last year or so has still had an accumulation of oil sitting in there, carb spray to test it out quickly is completely safe. Engines that have sat for a long time yea I'll go ahead and oil it up first.

Like watching your very informative videos...keep them going...

I was a auto technician specializing in driveability and emissions systems for over 30 years, always on my knees working or setting my hoist arms. I now have osteoarthritis which was exaberated by being on my knees so much. Now, both knees are shot and a double knee replacement is in my future. Avoid getting on your knees on concrete as much as you can, and if you can't, use a kneeling pad or knee pads if you do

All round great video, enjoyed that thanks 👍

Another great video! Funny and informative as usual. I’ve learned a lot from you!

So, what your trying to say is....no more comments about a lift table?😉

Pro parts direct is good but stens has some really nice kits for them and handy also 😊

Thanks Taryl this is super helpful you have a great way of teaching unlike most the people I have watched on RU-vid that act like your a brain dead preschooler and explain things that anyone that is going to work on their own or someone else's stuff is clearly gona know you cut to the real detective work and show and explain what needs to be done and in a very entertaining way so Thank You😁😁

A little late to the party. I was busy fishing the pacific. Wanna say I got my order of HV-350 and tube gripper. Extra thanks for the Uncle Andy signed Kevin Mitchell rookie card! And for the complimentary tidy-tube winder! I’ll be using that for my toothpaste tubes.

Daryl can you do a video where it shows how long an engine will run on either AKA starting fluid or Carburetor cleaner.

Which one came first the Mantis or the echo mini tiller?

Hi I hear your going to be joining micks mowers on a live stream, I know mick well it will be nice to see you on his panel. Lately I’ve upped my content on my small engine channel. Love your vids🙂👍

Most of us know we just love watching your videos lol

Love the instructions/information, but also the background sound effects! Keep it up!

This is just a rebranded Mantis. Kioritz makes the engines for their 2 cycle tillers.

You got that right my friend it does burn

taryl your the best! i had 2 strokes myself and still learrning!

Good Job of Explaining That ECHO 👍👍👍

Good evening guys

Loved it.... Thanks. Appreciate ya.
