That was the first lesson in my high school small engines class. You check to see if it has gas. If it has gas, does it have spark? Then you move on and diagnose other things. He says its hunting for idle with choke on, 9 times out of 10 the carb is plugged because some dingbat didn't store it for the season without draining or putting fuel treatment in. This is why small engine repair shops are so lucrative. $75 an hour for labor and all they'll do is poke the jets with a piece of wire and send it through an ultrasonic cleaner.

Thx

[@cravenmoorehead5636]

If my small engine guy told said what you are saying I would fire him. A properly tuned engine no matter the model doesnt hunt. Check for clogged orifices or most commonly resize the pilot jet in small increments until the symptoms are cured. Most of the time the reason they hunt is because they are tuned at as brand new. Once things break in and loosen up it will need a bit more fuel to operate. Also on these GCs it is equipped with a pulse fuel pump. Could be restricting the fuel requirement.

Disassembled the pump to remove a piece of smoo in one of the relief valves. Ran great lots of press and power but I tipped it on side while working on the pump and that filled the cylinder, intake and exhaust with oil. Cleaned the cylinder and intake and ran it. Thought I would just burn off the oil in the exhaust. Little did I know it was pointer right at our outdoor dryer vent and filled the basement with oily smoke. Told the wife the good news was the house wasn’t actually on fire. Also note without water flow there is spring loaded lever that lowers throttle to reduce pressure. It’s not actually surging.

Always wondered how valve timing got altered for starting, centrifugal action of mechanism on the camshaft pulley doing it. And the belt transports the oiliness up to lubrify the moving bits. The crankcase pulsations work a diaphragm that powers the little fuel pump. Hence no fuel valve, and how the gasolinas gets uphill from the tank to the carbonator, and why some cranking is required when da carbonator is dry. The high pressure fog machine lives again.

Had a moped out of China that had the overhead cams tightened down to the point at which the valves weren't sealing. Loosen them up through some feeler gauges in there and it worked beautifully.

I have found internet advice to be sound. But get a concensus; maybe five sources. I remember back in the day trying to find answers at the local library. Yeah. Just this week, I've fixed a mower switch, a noisy fan, and replaced a fuel line on a pruner saw.The internet is a Godsend. And you get Ave as a bonus!

When you do you next amazon order... how about something so you can head mount the camera so you can use both hands on your tool?

[@mdftrasher]

@5:40 Aaah, yeah the Musty rebuild treatment! ;-) Love that!

[@aSpyIntheHaus]

Fucking Gold! This is the second Ave vid in as many days I've watched him rip away at a pull starter for 30 seconds and then realise, "Crap some fuel might help" We've all done it. It happens, none of this pretending it didn't by editing it out. Good stuff

[@cjhtas]

Went through all this with my 4 stroke Honda - changed the carb & plug too, did the tappeties etc etc. Turned out to be the special little hose from the gas tank to the carb was old and had cracked and letting in air.

2:40 a sheered key way will start if its not off to far

[@prbmax]

When I heard that someone told him to check that, partially sheered key way, I was surprised because I had that issue with a lawn mower. It was hard to trouble shoot but that was the problem. It would start but sometimes it would pull the "cord pull" out of your hand.

[@AndyFromm]

@@prbmax its quite common on direct drive lawn mower. they use an aluminum key as a sheer point so you don't break the crank shaft while hitting something with the blade. I had a mower do the same thing, hard starting and would sometimes pull your arm off.

@@prbmax Lawnmowers shear keyways all the time from hitting roots and stuff. Wont be a problem on a pressure washer atleast iv never seen it and fix equipment everyday

[@coreyregier5546]

@@jeep2003 Actually I fixed a cheap pressure washer with a briggs horizontal shaft, ripped the pull cord right out my hand. pulled the flywheel off and noticed had turned about 20 degrees from where it was supposed to be, replaced the key and it started right up. not sure how on earth it broke the key like that... but it did.

[@coreyregier5546]

I hear the pump mounted directly to the engine with direct drive, no belt, cause a lot of wear and tear over time when you squeeze the trigger. the shock from the load of the pump can break keys on the pto side, just not sure how it would shear the flywheel key

[@tacomas9602]

It runs okay now at the end but I would still remove the carburetor and clean the jets.

Gotta say I always enjoy your videos!! :) I noticed you did a video awhile back analyzing the Seattle Crane collapse at a Google Office building, just like 4 days ago there was a crane collapse here in Toronto and it was literally just outside my building. I was able to get pictures and videos of the downed crane and the removal of it. I was wondering if maybe you could do a video analyzing this one? They said that they found "missing bolts" on the turntable section of the crane and that it was the culprit of it collapsing. Just a suggestion of course!! Your videos are always awesome so keep up the great work! -From a fellow Canadian!!

Thank you for the locking pliers on the handle.

I think the blades are missing off your lawnmower mister.

[@ndboy7903]

Very helpful as usual. Thanks for the info.

[@paulrainsford1953]

Just love these foreign language videos

Look up Steve's small engine saloon. The surging is because of a clogged pilot jet. Super easy 2 second fix.

Recently rebuilt one of the smaller ohc Honda’s, had bad compression. Had a lot of hours of hard use on a compactor, we figured it was pistons/rings. The main problem ended up being the intake valve was leaking like crazy and the cam was starting to go flat. New piston and rings, lapped the valve, and replaced the cam. Runs like a top now.
