HOW TO - Carburetor & Fuel Line Repair on STIHL 017, MS170, 018, M180 Chainsaw Part 2/3

[@c00kie84]

I've just rebuilt the carb on my 018 and it works like new again. I wouldn't have attempted doing this without the video tutorial! Many thanks for taking the time to make the video.

[@martinfinster9899]

Great editing and clear up-close shooting really helped you get your technique across. I really like when a tech will go to the trouble to explain WHY things fail and different tips to clean, install, and run your equipment. Keep 'em coming!

[@mbens9266]

One of the best demo I've seen so far. Thank you sir.

[@donyboy73]

@kwakman99 u should use a stihl fitted line for this saw, the cost is only $@ more and will save u loads of trouble because of the vibrations and the way the line is routed

[@wcjcnc]

Well, I had done EVERYTHING to this chainsaw you could POSSIBLY do to get it to run but it just wouldn't crank. I knew the problem was fuel delivery. Well I took the carb off one more time. I took the cover off the metering side and pulled out one of the welch plugs. Not the brass one but the larger silver one. There are several very tiny holes under that plug. I blew them out with air and installed a new plug and put everything back together. It cranks on the first pull and runs like new. Damn!

[@timbinman]

Thanks for the video! You're a great teacher. I'm not new to small engines, but.... Just cleaned/fixed my MS180. I'd 'flipped' the gasket and diaphram positions the first time. Thanks to you! I was able to see my error and now, we're off and running! By the way - and this is not a commercial - I'm running E3 plugs in my saws, and they really make them start easy and run great. FYI

[@michaelhewitt2463]

I have had trouble with my saw for ages. It kept stalling on load. Seeing your video I realized the small needle lever was below flush. Thus not working correctly. Adjusted lever and rebuild. Saw now performing as it should. Many thanks.

[@kerdogg3]

really well done, got my saw running again because of this. thanks

[@hellraiser13offroadmotorsp43]

FYI I used a little Vaseline petroleum jelly dab to hold the spring in place while I reinstalled the needle valve just a tip afterwards cleaned it off with carb cleaner so it wouldn’t clog the jet or the needle valve Great video !

[@donyboy73]

hey thanks for subscribing!

[@Smalltechguy]

Hey donyboy73, awesome instructions. I am curious though if you have made a video of when you are adjusting any 2 stroke carb that you can talk about what the low and high side are and what they do. I am working on a trimmer stihl FS 74 I had to replace the fuel lines because as you stated very soft and sticky. I started with 1.5 turns on both and still will not stay running. I have replaced the carb kit but will go back and make sure the float needle is right. I think this lever was a bit lower

[@mattd28]

Fantastic guide, best one on youtube, thanks!

[@donyboy73]

yes and feel, if it's stiff or out of shape it's not good

[@matthewkyle3793]

Very easy to understand video...excellent video sir

[@donyboy73]

Thanks and welcome

[@Chucky-b7v]

As usual Dony, another great and well illustrated repair video, thank you. Cheers from Down Under

[@donyboy73]

yes it pretty well works for most carbs

[@redfred456]

Really clear and concise. Helped me fix my Stihl 017. Thanks

[@donyboy73]

you're welcome man, this summer i'll make more videos of adjusting carbs

[@InclinedTherapy]

Thanks for your video. Helped a lot.

[@HOTRhuntinontherock]

Hi, I know this is a little off topic but maybe you can help. I have a 1 year old 250 Stihl, and the little saw works great, cold start is great but if I shut it off for 4-5 minutes than try and start it again, it can make you want to beat the thing up on a stump!! This as happened over time, the saw was not like this before. The saw idles great and continues to run perfect when i leave it running. It will start great if I shut it off and than restart right away. Any advice? If I was to take apart the carb to clean or look for something , where would it be best to look?

[@donyboy73]

@kerdogg3 thanks for watching!

[@desfarrell5630]

Great informative video, Dony👍

[@donyboy73]

there is no filter where needle goes, there is a small screen on the other side of carburetor

[@marcosandreydesousa]

DOny, you did an amazing video! I looked a video like that in Brazil and never found. WITH his video I could fix my carburetor. You could do a video on how to adjust the screws "L" and "H" of a Stihl cutter (not sure if this is the correct name of this machine in your language). Thank u so much dude!

[@malfaro4]

Does it make a BIG differance if the metering diaphram goes before the gasket against the main body of a carb DB? Or is it a must that the gasket goes first?

[@donyboy73]

thanks

[@kwakman99]

Dony, do you really need to use a replacement Stihl gas line or could you use the universal clear gas line sold everywhere? I would presume that if both have the same internal diameter it should work or is there something else I'm missing that needs to be taken into account. Thanks.

[@giwrgoshaniotis8441]

I have a homelite xl textron and I need your help it has got a walbro carburator how much I must screw the adjust screws ?power response

[@donyboy73]

@MisterMattyMo the diaphragms help the carb to pump gas

[@glcpreach]

Hey Dony, I really appreciate watching your videos. I was watching your video on how to install the fuel lines on the Poulan , but the carb is different on my Poulan 4218. Can you tell me where the fuel lines go on the 4218 please? Thanks, Rick

[@HikingFreak]

Good fine day, can you provide a link where you buy your parts if you buy them online?

[@donyboy73]

I usually get from a Stihl dealer

[@imhousing]

excellent video. thanks for posting

[@Paulwill85]

I bought the carburetor air,fuel filter replacement kit from Amazon for my Stihl Ms180 and this 2 part video was literally PERFECT step by step instructions to replace the carburetor and fuel filter and I had no issues at all following this video!!! Thank you for this video it literally made this project dummy proof!!

[@camaos2004]

Gracias por tu video, tengo una idéntica pero no he podido calibrar el carburador, pues no le entra gasolina al cillindro. De todas formas, mil gracias.

[@modtrend]

hi there... removed muffler. no carbon build up . piston looks fine. so cracks or marks .is it normal to be a slight brown oil marks on cylynder. anyways, could it be the fuel filter.

[@wcjcnc]

I saw where you had the little lever in the carb level with the face of the carb. Is this a good place to set the lever on most of those carbs? I have a Husqvarna 335 XPT chainsaw that's driving me crazy. I have great compression, great spark, new fuel lines, fresh fuel, I have overhauled the carb and installed new kit, fuel is getting to the carb. It just won't run. Give it a shot of starter fluid and it will crank but dies once it burns up the starter fluid.

[@donyboy73]

@camaos2004 YOU ARE WELCOME

[@donyboy73]

thanks for watching

[@offourrockers9471]

Your videos are great and have helped me out many times. What is your opinion on the cheap replacement parts available on eBay as opposed to the expensive Stihl parts?

[@philipgamboa6134]

Good day sir, my 1988 070stihl w China carburetor just won't run if I don't put few drops of gasoline in its carburetor.. help

[@modtrend]

my stihl ms 381 was misfiring and cutting off. i opened carburettor, washes all the parts , cleaned with compressor and put everything back. nows it wont start at all. when i removed pin from carburettor , i put pressure gun in hole. is there ant like filter under the pin?

[@supperclodbuster]

whare do you get your parts from? do you get them from a store near you or online? if you get them online what is the website you use?

[@donyboy73]

take the muffler off to make sure the piston is not scored

[@vintagemotoseattle]

appreciate your thorough videos Dony. Was hoping to see you do this on a carb on the 032, where carb is tucked down and away.

[@ddr8488]

Une série de vidéos vraiment excellentes ! Très didactiques, très bien filmées, on peut s'en sortir même si, comme moi, on ne maîtrise pas la langue. Thank you very much Danyboy73.

[@fragrancemes]

very good man you are the best.

[@lukep6017]

[@GHULAMABBAS-bs4hy]

[@modtrend]

[@trickmytruck32]

Does anyone know what sparkplug they use if I remember I think it's a NGK plug just not sure the number

[@donyboy73]

ngk bpmr7a

[@oldschoolrepairshop2866]

mr.dony i have a 66 cc gas powered bike and it will not get up to the hight rpms its just balgs out,i have tryed a carb rebuild,a toun up,and a new filter.the bike as 200 miles on it can u help me?

[@skip7204]

Dony, I was wondering if you had some in depth videos of Zama Carbs? I have read that the check valves can go bad, are those behind the welch plugs? Would you be willing to make a video of some tests to do on Zama carbs and some of the internal parts of the carb? I really like your channel, keep up the good work!

[@donyboy73]

yes they go bad, just get a new carb

[@vodoocult]

How can you know when a membrane is bad, just by visual inspection of it?

[@hazzagawa]

Nice video.

[@leeyalcin6476]

great video, thank you so much!

[@donyboy73]

thanks

[@clap999]

Hi Don. Great video as usual. Just a quick question - when you took the carb apart there did not appear to be a gasket on the metering diaphragm side but you put one in on the rebuild - that right? Also, the gasket on the metering diaphragm side went against the body of the carb but on the other side it went against the cover -right? Thanks for the videos man. Saved me a fortune!

[@donyboy73]

yes I always put one on the carb between metering diaphragm, and yes on the other side the gasket goes on the cover side

[@DrujbaInc]

Nálam első a takarítás, utána a szerelés. Én ilyen piszkosan biztos hogy nem szerelném össze!

[@pictorulamator]

stihl 015av have gas filter?

[@modtrend]

in this videi, you are putting needle back into carb. now, is there any filter in the needle hole. cause when i was cleaning, i noticed something fly out... or my imagination. ps... the filter at the other end of carb is still there

[@MisterMattyMo]

What are the purpose of the diaphragms? My knowledge on carburetors is limited. :o

[@davidthorne6796]

Another great video, bud! On the average it looks like the pre-shaped fuel lines on Stihl equipment makes for a nice straightforward replacement ... What would you say the avarage cost per fuel line is Accross the gammit of chainsaws/trimmers/blowers ??? Do they avarage five bucks a line or eight bucks a line or what? Kinda needed your insight.... I really like I can get 20 foot of tygon kinda reasonable and make all my echo lines as I need them... And I'm sure that's cheaper... I was just wondering how much cheaper to kinda use that to way in when I'm replacing equipment in the future. Also... Do there black rubber lines last any better or any longer the say tygon in this awful moonshine gas they are making us by? It seams like I'm getting two years from the tygon .... I could go longer but it's kinda brittle so I go ahead and do it as part of the maintience cycle. Are you guys up in Canada stuck with 10% ethanol at all your stations or can you still by regular unleaded gasoline up there? I love catching a couple videos with my morning coffee!!!! Keep up the good work and God Bless you and the family, bud! I'm hoping I can get all my work done quickly today... I want to hit one of my rebuild 350's with the degreaser and the pressure washer and get into a rebuild this afternoon. I still have that QV 8000 that had cylinder damage to knock out... I was thinking that might be a good candidate for the big bar and the Alaskan saw mill ... I know that they don't rev to that super high rpm of some of the other saws but are supposed to have lots of torque ...and that ripping chain doesn't come in skip chain... Have you ever worked on these QV 8000 or the echo CS8000 saws? If so what was your general overview... Fix it to sell or might be a real reliable keeper? Hey bud, you have a great day and enjoy your Sunday! Are you to the point you avoid the shop completely on Sunday or do you tinker with your own stuff when the shops closed? Well I'm guessing you'd be closed on weekends but I could be wrong. Have s great day, Big Guy!

[@commonconservative7551]

excellent ..good phonics too

[@donyboy73]

@supperclodbuster i have a distributor here in canada

[@donyboy73]

start at 1 1/2 turns out and work from there

[@donyboy73]

sometimes yes, you should do a compression test, your saw may also be flooded

[@supperclodbuster]

what about other parts that you use?

[@donyboy73]

@supperclodbuster stihl parts i get from dealer

[@korbaisblessed2562]

Thanks man you video is great

top quality video, thanks for putting it up.

[@donyboy73]

in the tank

[@reddog9025]

Looks to me like the fuel tank and carb were not cleaned very well. WOW...

[@hamradiocq]

Why didn't you just install a new carb? Why mess with all those diaphragms and gaskets?

[@attilapetrovich7804]

Se imaginan lo que significa para una pesona que no sabe nada, tener que desarmar y fijarse en todas esas piezas tan pequeñas para luego armarlas? eso es muy complicado, sólo lo puede hacer un mecánico y los repuestos stihl son carisimos y plásticos....

[@pictorulamator]

thanks,I found it.
