Thank you Mick my friend for this comprehensive tutorial on Titan 2 Stroke Carburettors, most useful 🔥🚀

Fantastic news well done

1st Try the adjustment screw at the end of the video with an ‘A circle’ tuning tool. Got mine working at full revs straight away. Also the strip down of the carb was very good and easy to follow 👍🏻 thanks for the uploads dude very helpful 🤟🏻👊🏻

Hi Mick I'm new to the channel, and new to titan multitool, I've just bought a second hand machine and I was thinking of doing a service on it, until this moment I had no knowledge, but now I'm more than happy to give it a go, you've probably saved me a load of money and we all like saving, thanks Mick great video. 10 stars from me.

[@themowerman]

No worries mate

[@alandykes2519]

Nice fix Mick thanks for the tip on cutting a slot in the screw 👍👍👍👍

[@themowerman]

Ta mate .. it's a simple way to get over a problem

Thanks 👍

Hi Mick, great video and nice to see you doing a two stroke. A couple of pointers. I always change the fuel first if it is priming okay. Personally. On that Chinese machine, with a single ‘High’ trim screw and only being 3 years old. I would have tried adjusting the jet screw first. If that fails. Check the turn setting. Remove the needle and squirt a bit carb cleaner in there and allow to dwell for a few minutes. Try and then adjust. If that fails. I would plonk in my ultrasonic tank. For a session. Trust me. I have been doing this for many years. I only use neat WD40 in the ultrasonic tank. Pop the carb in. Prime it submerged, so it is full. And set it away. After half an hour. Pump the primer a few more times to refresh. And set away for another 30 mins. Or until it gets to about 80’C. I find this works most of the time. Generally taking 2T carburettors to bits ends in gasket tearing. So I only do as a last resort, with a rebuild kit to hand. But this method normally works. Trust me! My tank takes about 2L. A gallon of WD is about £28 Used to be cheaper. I only refresh a couple times a year. Filter the used WD and use in a spray bottle to lube allsorts, so it doesn’t go to waste. Cheers David.

[@themowerman]

I agree mate .. but I knew it needed a little more work as it's been playing up for a while....

[@mr1pearl]

Gem of a machine now ain't it 👍 Well done sir !

[@themowerman]

Yes.. a great purchase

[@ITGirl2071]

Thank you so much - I have a new allotment with truly gigantic overgrowth but no tools and no £ - found a discarded, barely used Titan multi-tool in the back of the shared shed with missing parts, not starting, not running any attachments. Found you. I learned how the components work, how to troubleshoot, change and tune. I was so intimidated and so desperate - now I am neither after only about £10 for the oil and parts, my landscaping dreams are in full swing 🙂. Never touched one before let alone fixed anything with a motor. Thanks again, Lady Tek-Li.

[@themowerman]

Hi.. well done you .. it's simple enough if you have something to watch and take your time... I'm glad the video helped.

@@Lfc-kd2kr yes mate

[@DugatDizzyLizzys]

In the instruction manual for many of these throw away machines, it says after 5 tank full of fuel to get the carb tuned, but you need tools that are shaped like Pacman, D or double D to adjust the mix instead of a Philips or flat blade, so people just chucked them as they couldn't adjust them. I picked up many like that and a quick tweak and it runs sweet. 😁

[@themowerman]

That they do my friend...

Nice job Mick! I am a bit surprised you didn't change the priming bulb since you were into the carb that far. Perhaps I'm changing them unnecessarily. What's a good "rule of thumb" about changing them?

Is that a honda hrx I see there mick?,I was wondering if I could pick ya brain mick I got a stihl 024 chainsaw and I've fixed it up with fuel line,filter,its hemorrhaging oil so I'm gunna change the oil pipes tomorrow,but it revs nice but as soon it goes to 8000rpm it takes off right up to 14 000 rpm and sounds like it's gunna destroy itself,I've got tachometer on it is it a case of fine tuning the high-speed screw or could it be that the high speed jet is wrecked
