Hang on, isn’t she American?” “Yeah why?” “You just lost the argument.

[@drive42]

I learned a trick from Leon's Chainsaw Parts and Repairs regarding carburetor testing. He has a tool to pressurize the fuel inlet, which checks the needle valve as well as the gaskets on the pump side of the carb. I use a Mini-vac hand pump to pressurize the inlet. It should hold 5 psi for 10 minutes. This has saved me a LOT of aggravation on two cycle diaphragm carburetors and has gained me some happy customers. You could also pressurize the tank to verify the vent on the tank. Thank you for making videos and helping people with their small engines!

I was looking for a lightweight blower for my deck. kzbin.infoUgkxgioZQl3J5wPGAeDINzbieKbT5qomSEx3 There are some huge trees around my house and the leaves and pods drop all over my deck. Having to move furniture around to sweep has become too big a chore. This blower was the answer. It is light enough for this 70yr old lady and powerful enough to blow all the tree droppings off my rather large deck. Thank you B&D. Be aware the cord is not included. I use a 3 prong outdoor cord 25' cord for my 12' x 20' deck. The cord retainer works very well, but don't try to pass the plug through it. That is NOT how it works. You just have to loop the cord and it works great. One of my best purchases. Very happy.

The proper term she's wanting to use is hydra- locked. It's not compressible which is the reason it locks up. It can cause major problems If it can get turned over. This lady knows all this stuff, she's a dang fine mechanic.

I am looking for replacement air filter, and new plug. this is my back up saw, it also came with a jig & round file to hand sharpen the blade, have not tried that yet. how long does gas/oil mix stay useable?

@@artillerest43rdva7 if u use pump gas non ethanol 93 then I'd say 3-6 months. Stihl guarantee their fuel unopened 10 year shelf life and 3 years after the deal is broken. Anyway what I do is but a small thing of Stihl pre-mix fuel and when I'm done with the weedeater-chainsaw etc I empty my tank, put just enough of pre-mix to get the engine started and let it run everything out to where it has premix in it through storage. It works for me.

[@bjiggles8145]

Yep, funny thing about liquids is they can throw tantrums sometimes, especially when you try to compress them. That's when they give you the bird and say "No, and I'm going to break something if you try and make me." Many years ago I was in a hurry and drove through a particularly deep and long puddle that was hanging out against the curb after several days of heavy rain. My car had a cool air intake with a low tube that went by the tire, never cared too much about exactly how high it was off the ground and my setup did not have an in-line relief valve. Made it about 2/3s through the puddle before the engine went BUMP and the car died. About a week later 3 of my 4 piston rods came out of the engine in an S shape, along with about 2 cups of water from the manifold. That's how I learned about the term hydra locked ^_^ good times.

Cousin bought an old mid to late 80's early model Stihl 021 saw. It ran, but not well. Changed the fuel line, put a modern style 250 tank vent on it, then looked at the carburetor. WT-215, the metering diaphragm was put on upside down. Gasket was glued to the top plate, diaphragm was still good, but the gasket needs replacing. I've been through carbs, refurbishing them, never seen that before 🤣. Buying a K20-WAT rebuild kit today for it. Afterwards, it should run like new as the cylinder and piston look practically new and it has a LOT of compression. There's also a carb adjustment kit on Amazon for around $20, has every driver for carb screws, even a Stihl flat screwdriver, picks and brushes as well as two metering lever height gauges for Walbro and Zama. I used the Zama gauge on a brand new, from Stihl FS 56 RC-E carburetor, the needle lever was so low, had to bring it up.

Those bg56 carbs are famous for bad check valves in the purge bulb circuit, a failed check valve will cause flooding. Also they have an accelerator pump, like a ms200t that fails. I usually replace those carbs with knock offs

[@rphiliprogers]

Pull the fuel pump diaphragm and hold it up to a bright light, I suspect you will find a hairline crack in it. The crack will pump fuel through the impulse port into the bottom end of the engine causing the hydro-lock. I've replaced several units under warranty due to the connecting rod being bent. The issue is caused by the carb body casting not aligning with the cover casting. The constant flexing of the diaphragm against the mis-alignment of the castings causes the crack. I've brought this issue up with my distributer in Missouri, as well as Stihl corporate in Virginia Beach when I was there for training recently. This issue is often mis-diagnosed as a leaking needle because the carb won't hold pressure when tested via the fuel line connection, put you thumb over the impulse port on the carb and it will hold pressure. Thank You.

So took out the screen on my saw and found it almost completely plugged up. cleaned it up, put back together and a little carb adjustment and running great again. some of the problem is that doing carvings you are only running the saw at low RPM's about half the time. sorry, this got so long, but thanks.

Great video and great work, I fix tools for the fire department and firefighters can be a bit... harsh... on their tools, so now I can add this to the possible cause and 'how to fix' checklist. In fact I just ordered a carburetor for an MS 460 today because a saw won't stay running after somebody turned out the idle screw to the point of removal and then manhandled it when trying to screw it back in. Now the threads on the idle screw are buggered and it chewed up the threads inside the carb as well so, RIP on that one.

I jut bought two gauges for setting the lever height for the needle valve . One is for Waldron the other for Zama . The height o the lever according to the carb manufacturers is very critical. I also had a Stihl blower thatI had let my neighbor use . It would start but not rev up after he used it . Turns out he pushed the primer too many times ,hydro locked the cyl and when he yanked on the cord sheared the integral flywheel key. The new flywheel was 85 bucks so rather than spend that much I put some coarse lapping compound on the tapered shaft put the flywheel on in the correct position and tightened it down. So far it has held up for the last 10 years . I had a rough time getting down to the cause of the won’t rev up issue

Had a similar problem with my SH86 however it happened while running. It turned off 2 different times and was basically locked up. First time I found a bolt backed out that mounts the engine. It got jammed into the back of the blower wheel. The second time it happened on the other side of the engine jammed against the flywheel. Both times all it took was putting the engine mounting bolts back in. Also found a couple other bolts loose. So if you have this problem best to tighten both sides.

[@pacificdune]

I had the same problem with my BG-86. I ended up just putting on a new oem carburetor. Now, instead of the fuel pushing into the cylinder it just leaks out of the machine completely and ends up in an oily puddle underneath. I’m going to take a look at the tank valve and maybe just replace it. I live in Arizona, and it is 115 here. By the way, after the new carb the blower runs really great, but that Stihl gas is very expensive to just end up on the ground.

Used to be that if they used gravity feed they would use an updraft carburator. Leave the shut off open and have a sunken float, and it still can't fill the engine with fuel.
