Solved my issue! All I had to do is tighten down the screws holding the carburetor down, and it fired right up! Thank you.

Good Job, thanks for watching!

This was the problem with mine. I noticed last evening when I was messing with the spark plug that the carb was moving, and I thought that seems strange... Sure enough. It had an o ring for A BASE GASKET! Got it back together and Away we go!!! Thanks Man!!!

You the man... sure enough the old craftman has loose head bolts haha. YES!!

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Easy fix!

[@Joe-qh4px]

Thanks man!!! that was exactly my problem!!!!

❤awesome video. Straight to the point. Just picked one up for $10 not running. Hopefully its loose engine screws. The other problen I find on these are flywheel keys are sheared and piston rings get compressed

Thanks for watching!

Cool video ty. Laterrr

[@BruceLyeg]

Good video. Are all the fasteners on there SAE or are some Metric too?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

The cover bolts came off with a 4mm allen but maybe they are actually 5/32. I'll pay closer attention next time one comes across my bench.

[@daniellaris3772]

How many ug a dugas in a allen wrench with a box wrench for leverage applied make?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

The trick is converting ugga duggas to grunts. The science in doing this is closely related to the metric system where 1 ugga dugga equals 2.54 grunts. So to answer your question, 0.39 ugga duggas.

I have a craftsman leaf blower 25cc 200 mph. Running fine one day wouldn't start the next. I bought a kit New Carb New Fuel filter & lines New Air filter New Spark Plug Replaced it all still wont start. I by passed the kill switch. Unit has spark & primer bulb is giving carb gas. Muffler was little wet when I removed it. Cylinder was bolted down tight & not loose. Any ideas other than dumpster ?

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

When you removed the muffler, did the piston look ok or was is scored?

[@travismiller1572]

Replace the coil with a new one and I still got no fire

[@Vshamann336]

mine is starting then shutting off.

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

There are a lot of reasons why it might be doing that.

[@steveobee3488]

Looks like the one I have mine won't start I will try this first I got mine for free

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

Good luck!
