Hey Steve I can adjust the other carbs with the special screws just fine but when I went to my echo leaf blower which from the factory was running lean and I took both plugs out and I got the low speed adjusted but I just couldn’t get the high speed. I don’t know if it was because it’s winter but I warmed it up for 5 minutes so if you wouldn’t mind could you make a video where you adjust that type of carb from the video? I already checked for air leaks bad diaphragms and my fuel was fresh. I don’t know if you’ll even see this but I was just curious if you would do that. Tomorrow I’ll try a bit longer and see if it’ll work. It revs out all the way and idles fine but around mid throttle it runs rough so I don’t know.

I’ve been a atv/ snowmobile / utv and motorcycle tech for the last 15 years for Polaris and Yamaha. We recently picked up the echo line and I’ve all of a sudden am getting weed wackers, leaf blowers and chain saws added to my work load while never really working on this smaller type stuff much in the past. It’s been a learning curve that’s for sure and even some I have almost given up on. I’ve actually learned a heck of a lot from your videos on this stuff and beleive this video may have given me the solution to a echo weed wacker I said to hell with as nothing I did could get it running right. Never would I have known about these hidden mixture screws without your help. Keep up the great work my friend. And thank you.

[@kylecameron3720]

I don't normally comment but I figured I should on this video. I bought a brand new champion straight shaft weed whacker 3 years ago. It worked amazing for my farm for the first year. The second year though it stopped working after I changed the string out. Wierd right?! After fighting with it for days I set it up on the shelf and left it alone. Pissed off and defeated. Tonight I picked it up and fought with it some more. Figuring that it wasn't getting correct fuel as soon as the choke was off. It would die. I wanted to adjust it but could only find one of the screws (high speed) and it was an A circle type screw. I couldn't find the low speed adjustment. After watching this video I was able to get this weed whacker up and running and I should be able to get it back out on the farm earning its keep. Thankyou so much Steve!

Removing all fear from small engine repair. Thanks again Steve. As an dual engineer and homesteader I really like the way you put these videos together. I have a lot of engines to maintain here, like 25+ at last count. I am trying to avoid professional repair except on my quad and cars. as they are to much of a PITA to bother with. But I like the small engine stuff done here and that is 98% of what I have to maintain. Lot of practical knowledge and some entertainment, in the way I enjoy, as usually there is a beer involved in my engine repair. The other day my Stihl MS250 dumped all it's chain oil on the table and you had a video and me back up and running in no time. It wasn't the plug but the line was dry and needing replacement but either way, I spent 5 dollars and 1 beer and was back up and running. Thank you again so much for all these tips!

[@jp-hh9xq]

Oh, and I should add... The local shop in town that I got the part from, for $3.50 told me honestly that they would charge a half hour labor, and since Stihl insists on them doing a multi-point inspection to optimize performance, but I know the saw is running like a charm, it would cost $90 😮😮😮 I said thanks, I am really taking pride in learning how to fix all my equipment on the fly myself, but they were really pleasant as they are in small towns, knowing I will buy more equipment throughout the years. So you say in your videos you like to hear that you save people money? Yep!!! Thanks.

Well I did that, it ran good for maybe 3 minutes and now it won’t run and when I give it gas, it bogs down. I’m pretty sure I need to adjust the carbs because there was so much gunk in there. But I have the second carb you talked about. I’m about to go out there and get this sucker running! Fingers crossed.

Another nice one. As a desperate move, I had some "D" style adjusters on a poorly running carb. I obviously couldn't slot them, and it's illegal in Georgia to sell the drivers (unless you know the shop owner), but I'm cheap, so I used a couple of pieces of stiff plastic tubing, heated the ends a little and pushed them down over the screws.

On a handheld product I can usually get it started by seating the screws and then turning each H and L out 1.5 to 2 turns. But I can't seem to find the sweet spot on these jets.

[@billkeys6733]

I have a Husky 150BT leaf blower, which after two years' use, started the all-too-familiar symptom of bogging down when the throttle was opened. I checked the spark arrestor and plug, and all was good. This video and others indicate that the problem can be fixed by backing out the high speed adjusting screw. It has a double-stack carb and I can access the low speed screw adjustment as shown in this video, but the carb manufacturer has driven small metal balls into the other ports so users can't do any adjustments that might worsen the exhaust emissions. Like BBs or small ball bearings. There is no way to extract those to get at the high speed adjustment screw. I figured I would just have to buy a replacement carb. On Amazon, the OEM Husky replacement was $75 with tax. There were a couple of dozen other imported "brands" that were similar to the original, but were priced between $15 and $20. They all looked like they were made in the same factory, and customer reviews indicate they were cheap junk knock-offs (little or no process or quality control, lowest possible grade of materials, etc.) So I started asking myself "why are the high speed jets having to be adjusted?" I assume ethanol (I treat all my ethanol gas with Lucas fuel additive) and other contaminants are likely getting into the tiny ports within the carb and the jets have to be opened to compensate. This may or may not be the exact explanation, but I figured I had nothing to lose, so I VERY CAREFULLY dis-assembled the carb and cleaned everything, especially the tiny brass nozzle piece I found deep inside, with a can of spray carb cleaner from WalMart. Once I got everything back together and established fuel flow into the engine, it now runs like a swiss watch. I plan to keep the OEM carb, drain it or run the engine dry before storage, and periodically spend 20 minutes each fall cleaning the carb. FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH.

I've looked it over a dozen times but was never able to find any adjustment screws on the carb. Yesterday, I stumbled onto your video and discovered my leaf blower has a Walbro carb. I found the high speed mixture screw, used your hot screwdriver tip to remove the plastic plug and it now runs perfectly. Unfortunately, the idle speed screw has a blob of epoxy over it but the idle is fine, so it doesn't matter. Thanks for passing on your insights and experience!

You're Welcome...

[@davidhay782]

Thanks Steve! Used a torch on a screwdriver just like you did in the video, and the plugs on my Echo trimmer (Zama carb) pulled right out on the first try :D

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on Dave! You're Welcome...

[@davidschmidt6013]

Steve, just found your channel a few minutes ago, and already watched several of your vids. I enjoy your relaxed style, as any guy who starts his vids with a sip of beer is OK by me. I was just given a no-name (literally, can't find a name on it anywhere but given that most of the crap sold here is made in China, I'm guessing that's where it was made.) gas-powered weed-eater that was bought new and the owner could never get it to start. It was then drained, put on a shelf and forgotten, so it's two years old but basically never used. I checked it today, added some gas and oil. The plug was getting spark and had gas on it when I pulled it but I couldn't start it either. Now, however, after watching this vid and the one about adjusting the carbs, I'm gonna check it out more tomorrow and see if the high and low speed screws are set right. I look forward to more of your vids. Thanks for making and sharing your vids! Take it easy! PS The wallet was awesome, and even more awesome is that your daughter has the 'handicraft' gift. That's so cool!!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Good luck Davey!

This guy is a champ and my small Engine hero! Thanks Steve and cheers!

[@williamcolon3647]

Hi!! Steve awesome video as always. Question, can you replace one of those rare non adjustable carburetors with an adjustable one??

[@DJNEUSPEED23]

Some aftermarket carbs do come with adjustable screws to replace the none adjustable.

[@lccurtis6548]

What do you do if you have a nonadjustable carburetor for the high side and it doesn’t have a mixture screw, I just bought one brand new. I can adjust the low side, but I can adjust the high side in my eyesight bogging on me.

[@shahid6314]

Steve, you're the BEST!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Thank You...

[@mikevalentine6954]

Steve, my man, thank you sooo much. I have been struggling with an Echo PB-251 blower that seems to flood and was a bear to start. This worked perfectly! THANK YOU!!!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

You're Welcome...

[@allenhuling598]

Well done, Steve...great info!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Thanks Allen...

[@timlanglois8649]

Hi Steve thanks for all your help . So my tro-bilt trimmer was running poorly. I tried to adjust it following your 1-1/4 turn out from the bottom and now it won't start at all. I tried all kinds of settings . It does start if I shoot some fuel into the intake .Then dies after burning off the fuel I put in.

[@kennethgranger9236]

Hey Steve.. Your wallet made by your daughter is really good. She could go into a small production run . I think people would love them She made a great job of it....Ken

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Thanks Ken, it is really cool....

[@realestateinfonet9041]

Outstanding! Thanks for sharing this information with us!

[@billcharron8421]

Thank you - I swore there was a way to adjust my Echo trimmer but there were screws to be found. Turns out the carb is like the first one you discuss.

[@thenorthener6855]

Great tip! Does the same apply for the Stihl MS 180? My oldest son got my 180 to learn how to use a powersaw, but it keeps bogging down every now and then...it's no apparent adjustment screws on the carb...

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

That saw is truly NON-adjustable.....

[@thenorthener6855]

Yep...found that out..haha! Well..it'll have to do for the kid until he's more proficient in chainsaw use. Thanks Steve.

[@paulmaxwell8851]

I have the same saw. Non-adjustable. How stupid is that? I'm at 3000 ft and on a smoking hot day ( 34C or mid nineties F) my saw starts bogging down. I'm fairly sure it would run better if I could enrich the mixture a bit. But no. I have to give up and start again the next day when it's cooler. A brand new saw!

[@lane4574]

My MS 170 needed adjusting and it can be adjusted. Don't know why yours cant, Steve says you cant so guess yours is different than mine.

[@yoniesharnessshopllc]

Fixed my Husqvarna blower, yay! Was watching a few different videos and then your finally showed the plastic plugs (I thought they were screws when I was looking at it earlier)

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Good job buddy!

[@oneofthemodels]

Great video buddy thanks a lot I really needed to know that information that you just posted on that video thanks a million appreciate it big time!!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on....

[@Cristian13226]

Great video helped me a ton! Brought a crappy Chraftsman 4stroke weedwacker home from work with bogging issues. First carb I've never seen adjustment screws on. Unfortunately I have one of those non adjustable high screw walbrow carbs. But the low idle is all I needed and a clean air filter. Thanks for the video! Keep tippin em back!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on ...

[@mikeyyoyo6464]

I've never seen that type of carb with the barrel butterfly in my life & I've seen lots, maybe we don't have them in Scotland but hey ho, you learn a new thing everyday. Cheers 💪❤️👍

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Not the most popular here in Canada, but they are around...

[@mikecooley3361]

My Redmax trimmer has the Walbro like that. Been on the shelf for a few years due to not running. May pull it out and check it again since i've seen this. Thank you.

[@ddrreeaammeerr1]

It is on my old Stiga SB 44 (its really old, bought used 6 years ago)! Latvia.

[@awizardalso]

I have a Honda Shadow VLX 600 motorcycle. The original idle mixture screw has a D-shaped head recessed so it's almost inaccessible as it's behind the carburetor bowl. One trick I heard is to use a spent 22 cal. casing and needle nose pliers to create a flat spot in the 22 casing into a D-shape and solder it on the end of a thick copper wire to make an adjusting tool. It worked. Later I found that there's a guy in California who specializes in Honda Shadows. He's on KZbin as TJ Brutal Customs, he sells idle mixture screws that are long and extend below the carburetor bowl so I bought one. If the engine is hot, with a glove you can make adjustments by hand without a special tool. I digress. Thanks for posting this. I do have a 2 cycle weed eater and a blower. I haven't looked closely at the carbs yet, but if I ever need to make adjustments, at least I have some idea how to.

[@hlbford]

Very good info .

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Thanks Henry....

[@crazedpaul9836]

I knew about this but you did a great job showing how to get the plugs out I had to buy a new carb more then once learning this....lucky aftermarket and replacement carbs dont have the plugs in them so far as i have seen... this was the best video i have seen... to date wish i would have seen this 2 years ago .... the lil brass screws in there are very very delicate....great video!!!!!!

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Thanks again Buddy...

[@Jim-ie6uf]

Things you never knew! Thanks

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

You're welcome...

[@antonsalivon4079]

It's a very informative video. Thank you so much. They wanted me to pay about $200 for my carb adjustment. But it's a pretty simple job to do.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Glad it helped

[@imim4136]

Steve, I have a raftsman string trimmer that uses straight gas “4 cycle” ... i think I only have the screw down the Center of the throttle. Is it possible just to have one screw on the wall bro carb?

[@camo8768]

Ya my Honda 4 stroke is the same.

[@lorimartin6877]

K

[@lorenzodelacruz1887]

Thanks for showing the hidden screws. I have a cub cadet which has a real basic cube type which I had to use a hacksaw to cut some slots in to allow a screwdriver to be used.

[@markblucat]

The k series Zama barrel carbs have a check valve behind a ss plug under the needle hinge and directly under the white fuel spout , and cannot be removed , i have found that on many of those carbs it will go bad or stop up I always prime the carb with fuel and blow air from compressor through the throat of the carb with barrel fully opened in direction of operating flow and you should see a fuel mist , And also the adjusting needle has a small fuel passage in the needle itself that some times gets clogged

[@firstmkb]

The epoxy is bonded tightly to the walls of the hole, but the plastic plugs are just a pressure fit. Epoxy MAY also fill the screwdriver slot, or may not... has anyone tried?

[@sschapasc]

Thank you! You really saved my bacon with these tips. I never knew this type of carb had any adjustments other than idle.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

You are welcome!
