I'm in the middle of putting mine back together. It's a pretty simple job and I got my new carburetor, primer bulb, new hoses, and the green hose that is two into one, a spark plug, several port cleaning brushes, and gaskets for the same amount you paid through amazon. Great deal and looks like quality parts. It pays to do a little researching. Good video. Thank you.

[@stevewilson7857]

Nice video. I repaired my blower backwards by replacing the coil then carb. Both aftermarket kits totaled $38.00. If I can get a few more years out of it then it’s money well spent. If not I always need new items for target practice :)

[@Sonicfly190]

Always check the spark arrestor too......

[@dancondon62]

Mike- Excellent tutorial. I'm getting ready to take mine apart tomorrow morning and wanted to see what to expect. I got more than I needed. Thank you!

[@maddogrk1]

Thanks, he gave me some confidence to do the same thing

[@bigsonslawncare]

Doing the same thing have 2 of them love them Bg55. Found the same kit on Ebay for 13

[@joeyb7373]

Thanks for the vote of confidence good video

[@maddogrk1]

Congratulations you might also think about cleaning the spark arrestor on the front right by the exhaust

[@brianblack3833]

Gotta love aftermarket carbs l have a BG 55 haven't done nothing to it for fifteen years fired right off this year if I have carburetor problems I'll do what you did ty for the vid

[@ZPrezton]

I put a new carburetor on and can’t find the start spot for the H and L screws . How many turns out for ea. screw? I’ve tried 2,3,4 turns and can’t get a idle point

[@linasalinskas3587]

At 6:40, what sort of valve is it? A Vat Valve? Can you say more?

[@joeypartridge8389]

That fuel tank has a check valve vent just under the carb. If it’s stopped up it won’t run right 😊

[@Ppp-kk6hw]

Do you have a link for the carb replacement for Amazon or eBay please. Big up from Scotland 👍

[@Dopeboy2013]

What size spark plug socket I need to know so i can change mines to.....👍👌

[@dirtbikemania8046]

It’s now 35 dollars for the same thing now

[@siwhittle2268]

Nice tats mate

[@jeffasay6236]

I Ordered a kit for the same blower and it came with new air filter

[@samshank8121]

Constructive criticism , move your hand so we can see what your doing, also go step by step disassembly and reassembly. Did not see anything about gaskets

[@brianblack3833]

I' m interested in aftermarket ignition coils compared to OEM maybe you could do one in the future possibly on a stihl .I've heard good and bad.who knows?

[@mike64646]

nice view of the back of your arm. not much else.

[@kenthompson3730]

I agree. Camera angles are pretty worthless.

[@ed2335]

Almost 3 years.. How's carburetor lasting?

[@ThatGuyMike]

It's still working. I moved to Tennessee 2 years ago and gave it to a friend. He still uses it.

[@rajbirrehal]

Finished changing the carburetor. Now the blower wont start. 2hrs spent with adjustments, no luck....

[@1topfueldrag]

since you skipped showing the initial start, turn it off and restart.

[@trevino0405]

great video! I just purchased one of these and its really old and dirty so I will be replacing the carb on it. Any suggestions on how to clean all the gunk buildup around the carb? looks like grease.

[@ThatGuyMike]

Brake cleaner. Or some carb cleaner

[@nyriemims5121]

Were/whom did you order your STIHL BG55 carb kit from,thanks

[@ThatGuyMike]

Nyrie Mims just from amazon. I dont remember the vendor

[@hfjec]

Where did you install the two gaskets? Your camera angle doesn't show much.

[@mawilhelm601]

they slide over the posts that hold the carb. One goes on before the carb and one goes on after. Then the choke/airfilter assemby goes on. Finally, two nuts on the posts keep it all in place.

[@JohnDoe-mp1zk]

mawilhelm601 does the side that has writing going down or up. That would have been helpful

[@jstokes7466]

Thanks for the vlog.. I have the exact carb that I'm about to put on my BG55 . Did you have to adjust the new carb?? Thanks!

[@ThatGuyMike]

Hi, No I didn't have to adjust it. It ran fine after I changed it. Thanks for the view!

[@jstokes7466]

I just finished swapping the carbs fuel filter air filter plug and cleaned the spark arrestor. I had to adjust mine from the increments on the top of the air filter cover. The old blower runs like new:)

[@miguel1530]

Post the link from amazon.

[@nateLegakis]

If you were to buy a new carb for a bg 55, what would be the best one money can buy? Are the ones on Amazon for $15 any good?

[@ThatGuyMike]

The cheap amazon one I bought probably isn't the best for the money. But it worked for me. But gave the blower to a friend about a year ago. I think it still runs though.

[@evanbushong4291]

On my new carb it didnt come with the same attachment to hook up throttle line did you have to remove any old parts from your old carb

[@ThatGuyMike]

No I didn't have to.

[@evanbushong4291]

@@ThatGuyMike well damn.

[@DougHinVA]

it won't start with the bulb full of gas...so he pumps it more to flood it more....

[@catfish307]

You can pump that bulb all day and it won't flood it.

[@maddogrk1]

Lose the music

[@timstewarttim]

I can't see through your hand

[@TastyPlacementSEO]

really hard to see what you are doing.
