Thanks for this video. I have this same carburetor on a string trimmer. On the metering diaphragm side, there is a brass looking part with a whole in it! Is there a PLASTIC PIECE underneath there. Accidentally poked a hole in it. Now my carburetor does not run correctly. It will run in 2nd position. Move it to 3rd and it boggs down. Than cuts off.

[@qrystinharvey9597]

Hi steve I am 11 years old and I know alot about chainsaws you inspired me to learn about chainsaws I watched all your videos about chainsaws.

[@blatorden]

Two days ago I rebuild my old Russian weed eater's carburetor using your advice. I changed the diaphragm, also that thin rectangular membrane. Since the piston head was black, I had to remove carbon residues on the top of it. I had no special cleaning substances for that, so I had to improvise. I used sandpaper dipped in engine oil, then dry sandpaper, and at the end I polished the piston with a felt disk mounted in my drill machine, it surely looked better after that comparing to those small dimples left after the first stage of the cleaning. Today I put the engine back together. It starts very easy, works normally. I love it. Many thanks, Steve! ❤

Thanks for the video and instruction. Just did a partial re-build on a Stihl 023 chainsaw (Walbro WT 215 carb) using this video and it worked out great. The metering diaphragm did have a bit of a click to it. I don't do this often so I took lots of pictures as I went along to make sure I got things back together correctly. I also had to adjust the Low speed idle just a bit after getting things back together as I found there was too much fuel getting into the cylinder, causing my spark plug to get wet (flooded). A minor adjustment made all the difference. The chainsaw runs great now and I can sit it down and it keeps idling (yay). Love your videos and thanks again..

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on Al!

[@Memphian1000]

This is the only video this guy's made that really falls short. There's several other basic things that can be done at this point including pulling the idle and high speed adjustment screws and blasting them out with carb cleaner and poke a wire through the jet if there is one sand blow it out. If it's gummed up just replacing the diaphragms won't work.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on ...

[@SmooveBee1]

Good approach is, in addition to this carb soft-parts kit instllation: do the fuel lines, the fuel-filter / pickup-tube, primer bulb, any gaskets that you damage removing the carb; and inspect: air filter and spark plug; be sure to clean the spark-arrestor screen carefully with a mapp / propane torch, and you shoud be good to go! I like to use original STIHL but I don't mind STENS. Do not discard your STIHL carburetor under any circumstance; the word on the street is to "NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR" on the carb body due to some damage that can occur to the mechanisms behind the welch plugs; With the STIHL gear, you cannot rule-out an intermittent coil-pack, either, so never assume that just because it is sparking, that is is OK, I have seen this a few times where the coil makes a weak spark or maybe out-of-time-spark (I don't know for sure), but make no assumptions that a spark is sufficient. If anyone else knows more about failure mechanisms of the coil-pack, please let me know; the new coil-pack has solid-state components onboard (such as rev-limiter) and these complicate diagnostics related to coil-pack.

[@maximusmax4557]

I just decided I'm "over" carbureted lawn equipment! I don't have any problem keeping "regular" carbs tuned and running right (I'm a trained and certified motorcycle mechanic), but for the life of me, I cannot keep this style carb running. I have a Ryobi leaf blower that starts and then shuts off right away, over and over and over again, and I have a Remington string trimmer that ran like an absolute champ with a brand-new Walbro carb on it a year ago, but now when I'm ready to use it, it also is a bear to start and won't idle. DONE! I'll keep my carbureted chainsaw, lawn mower and snowblower (for now), but from now on, as far as my other lawn equipment is concerned, it's batteries or bust! And yes, I only use ethanol-free fuel, and regarding my string trimmer, I drained the fuel and ran the carb dry when I stored it for the winter...

[@throngcleaver]

Or you can just go on eBay, and buy a brand new carburetor. I bought one for my Stihl FS55 grass trimmer about a month ago, and it came with a new set of fuel lines, a new fuel filter, a new spark plug, two spare primer bulbs, both gaskets, and a new air filter, all for $11.98 with free shipping.

[@throngcleaver]

@osu67 Well, according to a quick internet search, Stihl carbs are made in China. Here's what www.b4usa.com says: STIHL Inc. Updated, July 13, 2016 by contributing editors. "Search America 1st" Always verify USA Origin Most of the STIHL products sold in the USA are made in Va. Beach, Virginia and a majority of the STIHL engines or “powerheads are built in the United States from domestic and foreign parts and components”. The carburetors are manufactured in China; STIHL purchased Zama Corporation, Ltd., Hong Kong, on December 31, 2008.

[@seabass22]

Lol I bought one. Ran like new! First yard, go to weed eat and it starts bogging down then locks up. Did it again. Had to finish the yard so went and bought a new weed eater, because I was tired of it. Come out the store and gas is pouring out of the weed eater. Apparently it got stuck open and was flooding the engine. Wound up fixing the original carb later.

[@Spencerbuildsit]

lots of useful info in these. Been binge watching them all afternoon. Thanks! FS 250 has always been a hard starter. If it has an internal compression release, it is not working Now needs a half choke to run at full. Spark arrester? What about cleaning jets? CArb cleaner? So you prefer to exercise rather than seasonally put away drained?

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Awesome brushcutter! No comp release on that one. Did you try this. click-----> kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ7LqYesfLeneck

Hey Steve, how's that brew? Yup, love this cutter. Thanks for the response and help. No, hadn't tried playing with the needles. This zama only has a low anyway. Spark resistor was fine. Not the problem, but the​ throttle cable seems to have stretched 1/8" as well. Need a new one but I shouldn't need to touch the throttle for start anyway? Noticed primer bulb in video is full. Mines not. Maybe now bigger issue. Jambed a wire down the main Walsh plug trying to clean it. Forced it into the main chamber.. Looks like my stupidity will now cost a new carb! Some sort of check valve under the Walsh? Any thoughts and any experience with a Hipa carb? $20 incl. Air filter and spark plug. Beat that. Thanks again

LOL, right on Jon...

[@Donegaldan]

Guinness isn’t a beer.

👍Good stuff Sir Steve! I service my own but stopped servicing neighbors and friends due to by the time it gets to me for the fix the cylinder wall is scarred badly and basic junk. I’ve lost so much $$ on todays throwaways i tell them to go buy another $99 one. Of course the more expensive 2 cycle & 4 I’ll still work on however still can’t make anything to write home about. I do it to have some work w/ change in my pocket & to keep my good name out there in the neighborhood. Besides this… I enjoy helping folks out. 👍 Thx for the videos Steve. 🍺 🍻

[@davidstepeck2644]

I watched this video a while ago just because I like Steve’s channel. However, I watched today since my Stihl chainsaw isn’t idling. It idles fine on half choke so I knew it was the carb. Thanks Steve! Dave from Connecticut…out.

Steve - I love your videos, they've got me pulling out old trimmers and chainsaws I gave up on years ago just to get them running again! I do have one question though - I have a pole chainsaw (Husqvarna 326P5 X-series) and I need to adjust the carb... should I follow the trimmer or chainsaw procedure? I'd guess the trimmer, but I'd like to be sure. I've got a Victoria Bitter and a local DuClaw's craft beer chilling just in case it gets complicated!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Definitely the trimmer procedure. MMMMMMMM Craft Beer.....

[@thebeastfromthesoutheast7765]

The primer buttons should be soft as well. If they are hard and brittle they can leak.

Steve, I've been watching your vids for a while and always thought to myself, this guy reminds me of someone. Seems like a local. What a small world, hello from Gabriola Island lol.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on Mike!

[@lawnmowermanlawnmowerman9930]

You are 100% correct,I rebuild probably 75 to 100 of these carbs. each year due to customers using ethanol fuel or ethanol fuel blends which is extremely harsh on those carb diaphrams.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on....

Thank for walking us through carburetor 101. I just finished my Stihl BG 55. It is working like brand new again.

[@auddiecombs788]

Great demonstration on how to clean a 2 cycle carb thanks

[@kevinnoble5988]

Thanks for another good vid Steve. You helped me see what the mechanic I took my weedeater to screwed up. I had him clean the carb of my Stihl KM90R because the primer bulb wouldn't come back up when pressed and the motor only ran at half choke after having sat "with fuel" for more than a year and he had an ultrasonic cleaner. I had him put in a new diaphragm since the old one crinkled like yours did. Problem was he didn't have the "EXACT" diaphragm and gasket. The one he installed didn't have the tiny crossover port. I saw that mistake when I watched your video. BUT in trying to figure out the primer bulb problem in the half dark and sub freezing weather I accidentally put a screw through the diaphragm that was installed so I can't return it. New parts are ordered and when they arrive hopefully the clogged carb problem was solved by the dip in the ultrasonic cleaner. I seriously need to get one so I don't have to rely on others and any mistakes will be MY OWN. Sheesh, I shoulda had a beer BEFORE I started this repair or maybe a hot toddy to warm my numb fingers and a better light to see with.

[@billcallahan9303]

Steve, you get better looking every year!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Thank You...

[@billcallahan9303]

@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon I was just kidding of course but compared to me, at 74, you look like Rock Hudson, if you're old enough to remember him. Hey, the one you did on Walbro type carbs was dead on! You simplified it just enough to solve my problem without a lot of mumbo jumbo! For that you get $25.00. Coming up now! Just stay off Bud Light!

Check the height of the needle valve tab too , mine was too low and not working properly. !!!

I don’t have one of these carbs, but I watched this anyway. You do such a great job of explaining the procedure, and the camera work is great.

Steve last video I watched you were superb and I attributed your intellect to the Bud you were drinking. Today with that Labatts you seem even smarter. I noted 2 on the table. Be careful not to get the blue flu.
