Common problem on these, I am helping a colleague tomorrow so wanted a walk through. He runs his blower dry before storing, to prevent the fuel going off and causing more problems, so I expect its dried out.Thanks for uploading

First

Hi, guys

Hi

What causes it to stick? A piece of crap? Very good presentation, except for the camera focus leaving things to the imagination in the last bit.

exact problem I had on my 56C - thanks kindly from across the pond.

Thanks Kevin. I've got to do this tomorrow. This is Exactly what's going on with mine.

Very good

Your video continues helping! Did as suggested, started first pull, runs great! Thank you.

Hey Kevin. Thanks so much for the video. Do you know what the little rubber thing is called that you mentioned only an idiot (me) would push a pin through when removing? I have a couple of carbs that I've done this to and think that might be the issue why they won't fill the primer bulb with fuel. Thanks again

All stihl equipment is having this exact issue. This is how every single one of my pieces of equipment breaks and all they want to do is charge $125 for new carb and then it does it again. I miss my old stihl stuff

Thanks for the video. I had the exact same problem and it's now fixed without having to buy new parts.

By Jove, (I believe you folks use that phrase) I think you've got it....I mean...I believe this could be the issue with my less than 3 year old stihl. The rubber bubble seems to be intact, so it had to be a internal problem. Before heading down to the repair shop, I searched on utube & your video was listed. I'll follow you steps to check that tiny spring. Will update this comment after the tear down. Big thanks from the Colonies.

Thanks Mr Peters, you described and hence helped me solve my problem very clearly. I really appreciate the effort you went too.

while the video was very blurry, this is a great video!! thank you so much. exactly the problem i have

Great stuff man. Always love learning some simple fixes that are often overlooked. Thanks again.

Great job Mr.Keven.Very helpful.GOD BLESS from Tx.

Thanks for sharing. I had the exact same problem and your advice helped me fix it. You da man!

Terrific just what I needed.😂

Great information. Thank you for making and sharing the video

It looks like I need a new carb. Thanks

Cheers, solved my problem

Absolutely fixed my issue. Thanks for this tip. I would never had checked that spring.

Thank you for the video. It was exactly what I needed as the problem was exactly as you said. I searched my counter and floor for an hour for the little black valve piece only to find it was stuck in the middle of the spring. Just to help everyone, pushing the bulb pushes air or gas out the outlet tube. The check valve allows a vacuum in the bubble. This opens check valve on bubble base to draw air out of carburetor which subsequently draws fuel from tank into carbutator. With every push of the bulb, the vacuum is restored and the cycle continues to draw more gas through carburetor and air out the outlet. So any leak in any carb channel or sticking valve will stop the whole process. so issue could be at any point from fuel filter all the way to the check valve you has trouble with. Before starting, it's best to soak the carburetor and bulb base in mixed gas for a day if the carburetor has been sitting empty.

Hey Kev, First of all I’d like to thank you for this video. The information here helped me to fix my blower. I originally changed the carb and after doing so notices the primer bulb wasn’t filling. Changed the bulb before this video and no luck, same thing. This time I took the bulb off of the old carb and the piece underneath it you showed also. Now it starts first pull. NOTE - worth mentioning is to depressurize the gas tank before removing the piece that holds the flow and return lines, makes it also safer and easier. Thanks Again Jim

Those fastener heads are called Torx drive.

still using nokia phone camera i see

I missed out. Close demonstration portrayed the video dull.

You saved me a trip to my repairman. I knew it had to be something along this process but did not know where to begin. Thank you sir

Ive a bg86 thats doin this. I left it sittin all winter and now it wont hardly start. When i can get it to start it wont stay runnin. I probably need to disassemble the whole carburetor and clean it real good.

Nice job

Nice hat, Kev

The fuel filter or the red vagina under the primer ball there a quarter bitch to get back in without hemostats

I just put a purge ball on mine used a long Thin screwdriver To take the Purge ball off After I removed the casing. I put a new purge ball back on. Put everything back together. Pumped the ball no fuel. I should have checked out your video Beforehand!😅

Man your awesome thanks. Same problem with mine this fixed it

Seems to be out of focus.😢

Thanks for sharing Kevin! I have a (nearly) new BG50 and see the still very clear bulb is not pulling fuel into the carb. Shot some carb cleaner in and the blower started for a few seconds. Must be sucking air in like you describe. I'll attempt to free up the valve using a dull but pointy scribe and hope to solve the issue. Thanks again! Didn't notice a focus issue much...my glasses need to be updated though...

Wow, just browsing some local history, I'm pretty sure that's the most random video I'll watch today. 😂

Cool thanks!

Thanks!!! It worked

thank you fixed my very same problem on my bg 75

Not a problem i've encountered before but your video both diagnosed and fixed the problem, thank you.

Excellent video Kevin, thanks so much for taking the time to share. A great help. Cheers

Helpful thank you sir

Kev brilliant this was so helpful and sorted out my blower .gave me the confidence to have a go and now runs like new 👍

Just fixed mine. That was the problem. But BK86C...could not get that little part out so shot it with compressed air from small can I use for electronic repair down into that tiny hole..out sprayed the fuel...Problem solved! BUT, getting that BG86C handle back together was a real pain....ouch...but learn something along the way....Thank you

Very clever. will give it a shot and see if that is the problem. just changed the bulb and not sucking up fuel. Thank you!

Thanks

i think the person running the camera needs to have their eyes checked. focus much?

I was so happy to find this. What a great tip. It ultimately didn't work for me but maybe the next one. Regardless, it never would have occurred to me you could remove those pieces. Thank you for posting this. To be clear, I'm not being facetious.
