Carburetor clean and rebuild on the Stihl FS90R

[@garretts91]

Even when working on the easiest piece of equipment you could think of taking pictures before you rip things apart is a great idea! You never know how long you could be away from the project or what you'll run into..

Good job on fixing your weed wacker Bill. I bought a new one like your's last year to weed wack a small pasture it has more than enough power, most of the weeds were 2 ft. tall went through them with ease.I was using a 4 cycle weeder no power. Great job on video!!

BILLSTMAXX :) not doing to well if you ask

[@DaleB809]

+BILLSTMAXX what was the part number for that kit and did you buy it off Amazon. thank you

Adding Stabil or some other gasoline stabilizer to your gasoline supply may help keep your carburetors clean for the next season. I know that it has helped me keep my 4 & 2 stroke small engines alive for 20+ years.

Smashing micro job bill :-)) It does seem to be happy now its had a service :-), i would pull the sparkplug after its next use and see what colour the electrode end is.

I had a stihl fs75 I had to replace the carb on. On the zama carbs, there's a plastic altitude check ball inside that the additives in today's fuel softens and makes gummy. Causes the engine to fall on its face when you try to Rev up. Zama corp says no solvent cleaners, no compressed air over 20psi, and if a kit won't fix it, replace the entire carb.

BILLSTMAXX :) are you using the new camera you got? i don't see any spots!!!

[@emmettkelly7465]

On the top of the gas tank for the FS90R, there is a black, plastic fitting that connects the air cleaner with the gas tank. I assume it's part of the vapor recovery / pollution control system. The black plastic piece has become split in half, with half attached to the rubber hose, and half to the gas tank. Is this a tap together with a punch part, or do I have to replace the entire black piece, or do I have to replace the entire gas tank? Thanks

Would using tweezers help reassembly?

[@billstmaxx]

George Travers maybe but id likely not be able to feel those either

[@BNSFTIM55]

whats the needles do

[@KPearce57]

BNSFTIM The needles regulate the fuel/air mixture.

[@BNSFTIM55]

oh ok cool thanks

[@radozeman]

BNSFTIM Basically adjust gas flow into the carb.

am not laughing at you but with you . I fully understand I have a baja 5b rc 1/5 scale running on a 23cc zenoa 2 cycle and 5 years as a small engine mechanic .tiny crab sux

Hey Bill when are you going to smash up some corn?

[@sony1998]

The Zama carbs that Sthil uses are so cheap its almost always better to just get a new carb and motor on. The rebuild is a hit or miss proposition. New carb is the way to go especially if your job depend upon 100% up time. Just my 2 cents.

[@billstmaxx]

sony1998 so far since the rebuild its ran flawlessly.. fixed as i see it

[@MegaGeorge1948]

After building a Lowe's 8' X 10' shed that took 7 hours with two men. It is very important to have it on a level ground surface. Preferably a level cement pad. The roof took most of our time. Because the roof parts didn't fit together too well at all. But the rest of the shed was fairly easy.
