You stopped just when it was getting interesting! I’d love to have seen more on adjusting the low/high jets and idle

Another great video Scott. Thanks for sharing

Another interesting video, thanks Scott.

Do you recommend loctite on the bolts? Maybe just the blue. I remember you used some on carb nuts.

Making your own tool to fix something, when you don't have the tool, says you are a professional tinkering fixer. Made some tools myself.

Go GO juice for fuel not motion lotion.

Another great video, Scott!

So it need the carb rebuilt? Thanks

Good Job!

Back in 2015 I bought a 550XP and within a couple of months a crank bearing got eaten. I took it to the shop, they tore it down, contacted Husky and within about 10 days provided me with a full credit which I put towards a 562XP which I've put between 10-15 gallons of fuel through over the last 9 years and it's been great (knock on my head/wood). Thanks for the video and for assisting your customers!

Good work sir! See ya next time!

Nicely done Scott. You had me at missassembled and red loctight. Laaaaaaaaater

Make it go Vrooooom! 👍Thanks Scott! Red lock tight on carb bolts? What were they thinking? Good thing you got them out without to much of a struggle.

I used an impact to take clutch off of my 257 to change my rim sprocket and it sheared keyway on my flywheel. Unfortunately it was made into my flywheel and cost me a new one. That was a costly lesson learned. Id done this many times and never had that happen before. From then on ive either used a piston stop or piece of rope and a breaker bar.

I'm also a Husky mechanic and only see leafblowers when they have a problem. Almost never for some maintenance....

I WOULD STIK TO THE BOOK OR STIHL RULES!EVRYTHING ORIGINAL

I lost count of the "customer wanted it fixed on a budget"...............

Oh the memories, an XL 12 homelite saw

Just found this video,12 18 2024,used to mess with a lot of homelite stuff till the market dried up in my area,old XL 12,330,360 were bread and butter work, thumbs up great video

There’s nothing more insulting to me than someone showing up and immediately signaling that they have no money. Especially when they show up in their 2023 Yukon XL with custom wheels. That’s BS. There are certain people in certain cases that you feel as if you can help them out. Well done as always! I hope the guy appreciates the knowledge needed to know how to repair this with the minimum…

The right way to fix anything is to do what should be done even if it cost more.

Great job. Will need to watch again.

Hmmmm.... slight customer upcharge for the red Loctite BS.

Why do these people want it fixed but don't want to spend any money to do it? Expect a tech to perform miracles with no parts. Great job of giving the cheap skate what he wanted!

Great job as always, thanks for sharing Scott!!

Good job Scott, I'm glad they finally started steering away from phillip head screws, they're always more trouble it seems.

Great fix, Scott. Everyone always has carby problems, lol. I think just a simple bit of maintenance goes a long way. And they always won’t it done for nothing as well.

Might be old school, but that honking great flat blade screw driver got the job done 4:04 , red loctite or not😂!

Nice Budget Repair Scott 😀😇👍🏼😎👍🏼

You do mess with Blowers,these are a world of their own, thumbs up for an early wedsday morning

Thanks for the video. I bought a 550 mk2 a few years ago, hardly used it, seems solid enough but not much torque & leaks bar oil from day one, I hope to give it more of a go over Christmas but so far not that impressed.

Good call on that throttle link.

Nonsense

Great video Scott ! Straight forward and complete. I like that you use the kill switch when taking off the clutch nut vs. jamming rope into the compression chamber. Much easier and no chance of contamination.

Yeah, OK.... bent crank at how many rpms? Nice saw FUBAR!

Good job thanks I needed that

Excellent

Excellent

Excellent as always

Can you give the part number of the grease you are using?

The Chinese carburetors you can find on Ebay are pretty good. In my opinion. I bought one for one of my Homelite chainsaws: Can$16 vs Can$140 for an authentic Tillotson. I dismantled it and can't really find anything to complain about. The quality seems just fine. This is the third one I've bought for one small engine or another, and so far they seem to work well. Have I just been incredibly lucky, or are they better than some people will admit?

It's definitely a design flaw to put a fuel screen in the carburetor that is finer than the fuel filter in the tank! I've heard you make comments that the factory fuel filters are, shall we say, defective. So how is that not the manufacturers fault? Or am I confused, and these customers are, in fact, changing them to aftermarket filters.

Very cool older saw. Another good repair video

I have exactly the same issue on the same saw - im no mechanic - does anyone know if this is a recurring issue on that saw? Might just try replacing the switch in any case before i take it to the repair shop (again)

This dude is lefit. Been in his ahop

Thank You for all the great videos you shared of your diagnostic and repair tasks. It's beyond helpful. Could you possibly do a video on the factory break in process when a new top end is installed? Thanks again. LATER...😎

The aftermarket carbs are so cheap, and have a lot of people saying that they are plug and play, that a lot of people buy them. Yes some start right away but just because it's making noise and working whatever it's attached to doesn't mean it's running right. It take all five senses to tune a carb right and it takes practice. You guys on youtude make it seem so easy but people forget that you have years of trials and errors to build your skill base. Thanks Scott for sharing those skill and showing us the right way to do small engine repairs.

nice demo as usual. that is one powerful saw to be running a short bar. short bar on saw like that equals micro second kick back if person behind trigger has mental lapse.

Excellent repair; really enjoyed the carb adjustment graphics- Thanks!

Excellent fix as usual. Those red spots are usually the Dirko or Pactan6075 sealer used to seal the crank case etc.. It's only posh silicone so is swells up in the fuel vapour and bits break off into the cylinder. Doesn't do any harm though..:))
