Dude, you should work at Boeing, clean as you go and FOD containment skills are excellent.

The plastic gears look chintsy.

Fizzy drinks? Intriguing.

Many years ago my buddy's air cooled YZ125 blew the head gasket when we were camped way out in the SoCal desert. Made a gasket from a beer can. Worked great for about an hour. We made several more and took off for a long ride. When one would blow, we'd toss it and put on another. Beats having to waist our day to go all the way back to town to find a new gasket.

Limeys saying "aluminum" 🤣🤣🤣amuliam??

I just use a straight edge or metal ruler to set the height of the needle rocker arm assembly &:I set it until it's just touching the metal ruler. Aldo be careful which diaphragm you use because some of the pins on the middle of the diaphragm are longer or shorter than what came out of the carburettor !

Yea but some companies don’t use 2.6 oz for 50:1

Carburetor? Internal combustion engines are history. We are changing to electric motors, much simpler and cheaper device. Lithium titanate batteries now can be recharged 30,000 times, this is the death sentence to combustion engines. Correct channel name, combustion engines are vintage , if not now, soon.

Lot of knowledge,, I'm probably going to be a parts replacer,, and replace the whole carb,, course i bought a new one that is not working,, which is problem with being a parts replacer,, instead of a trouble shooter,, you buy a new set of problems,,, !?

Yes i ordered a brand new carb with a short block,, for weed trimmer,, does not run right,, I'm going to try carn on original engine,, I can't remember the name of the weed eater, when i went to trade school, the teacher taught us the circuits of the carb,, i think 7 circuits,, idle, off idle, cruise, full throttle,, accelerator curcuit , float bowl,, choke circuit, i could fix any carb after that,, i did jot get to set in on his automatic transmission class,, so i just started tearing transmissions down snd putting them back togather with new clutches snd seals,, cleaned up, best i could, they worked,, i did not really know how they work,, they did,, !!? I remember the older guys in one shop,, i heard them saying, "they gotta be clean" that's the most important thing,,! So when i worked on forklifts, i did the automatic transmissions,, they had reverse and forward,, were super strong,, the dealer i worked at had book showed trans fluid circuitry,, bosses bought a big flat bed truck, so i drove to other side of town brought a large 6cylinder forklift back to shop,, rebuilt trans, put it back on flat bed truck, drove it back across town,, everyone was happy,, no one asked me if i had a license to drive truck,, was easy to drive,, cab tilt back could see engine v-8 ford,, was fun to drive,, i was getting goid at rebuilding forklift transmissions,,!!? Oh well, we're talking about weed trimmers,, these little carbs,, i have not broken the code on these things yet,, ??!!

Good job with this idea, Here I'm using milk boxes, (Tetra Pak). And seems to be working fine. Hope that helps too!

Don't lisen him , you will be in trabel.

Back in the 1970s we used to use Tide laundry powder boxes to make nice heavy duty gaskets, there are a lot of other heavy duty boxes like it still around like Rid-X 5 dose treatment one, you can also get Fel-Pro or other sheet gasket material at Advance auto and other auto parts outlets too I used that a couple years ago after the gaskets on my Harbor Freight Central Pneumatic 21 gallon air compressor failed and they were not available.

You don't need to have the throttle wide open. You want to disable fuel when doing a compression test. Throttle plate restriction won't affect your readings.

This WON'T HARDEN steel unless it is immediately QUENCHED after the heating. I've go one of these, and it'll make the bolt SOFTER so that the bolt HEAD more likely snaps OFF.

I did this and forgot to cover the piston and it pinged in my eye 😂 lucky save I’d say because the spring came out next, all done and fixed now

Used to be fun in the 1960s to turn the starting pawl around in Lister powered Dumper, operator would try to turn engine in correct direction, pawl would not engage but would in reverse and start backwards, this confused operator as dumper would move forwards in reverse gear only and blew black smoke out of air cleaner, Evil sods us motor mechanics

Great tip Tom. I really like your machined caps for engine assembly sealant. Think there's a marketing opportunity for you here...patent pending right! You'd make a killing

I’ve been doing this for a long time now. I started refilling them in my workshop when I ran out and the nearest shop that sells them is half an hour drive away and would have been shut that time of night, then I started using them to light my workshop wood fireplace which ended with me getting another torch and bottle with the workshop torch and bottle ending up inside my house to light the inside fireplace. I have never bothered with venting any unused gas before I refill the bottle, what the logic behind this? Also what is the little valve off to the side used for? I always thought it was for bleeding the tank while filling it but it doesn’t move

Fun fact, the notch on a bench grinder is for sharpening drill bits as it is the right angle needed

I had a little stihl saw that was doing exactly this, I don’t work on carbs much but being a mechanic by trade I pulled it all apart and found the oring was worn on one side, so I ordered a rebuild and sold the saw after it was running good😂

Great time saving tool, thanks for posting as I own several Nortons, Matchless & BMW bikes where time trouble shooting coils can take up too much time. I had to ask, what, who and were can I find, build or purchase that tiny scale gas engine? Thanks from California, USA.

Snap On! Buy it once and you’re done. (Unless of course you lose it 😅)

una pregunta maestro ésa junta me sirve para motosierras dónde va puesto el carburador

Always awesome watching your videos!! That you said about your journey, feel exactly the same when doing another step to the two stroke journey!!

Thanks!

+++++++++

That is a great bit of information!

I used to have trouble getting a 2 cycle engine running, but after watching your videos (and others) I can diagnosis the problems of 2 cycle engines and get them running. Thanks

A good set of leather gloves would be an idea

Stupid because are not supposed to be refilled

So do you actually burn of the plastic coating or just discolouration it and leave it on when assembling.. I've used beer cans in the past although not for gaskets ,only spacers .. I burned the plastic completely off and then polished it up with fine wet and dry .

Brake cleaner aerosol is the best thing for cleaning out ports and tiny feed holes. Watch out for internal particle sieves which often get gunged up with a waxy deposit from the petrol. A good clean often sorts things out.

Another superb video

I've got a compression tester somewhere, but very rarely use it to be honest. Unless the manufacturer requests a reading for a warranty claim etc.

what is the equation if the torque wrench is in inch pounds?

There is a craftman 109 bench lathe for sale near me. Should I go for the craftman or the Chinese mini lathe?
