Nice in depth vid mate. I’ve got an HL that I’ve got to sort on the McCulloch I’m restoring. Beautiful old carbs, back when fat fingered men could still work on them 😂😂

[@menditman2004]

Thank you, yes I really like these old carbs Tillotson made in Ireland (back in the day Stihl using Irish carbs) lucky for me I don’t have cave man hands 😂 so I don’t struggle to much with the small pieces in carbs. Thanks for watching 🙂👍

@@menditman2004 you’re a lucky man! You know what they say about men with chubby fingers…. They’re terrible with modern carbs haha.

Nice rebuild. Only ever worked on one carb like that, they are big

[@menditman2004]

Hi yes they are a big carb, I like working on these, probably my favourite carb 🙂👍

[@Turningwrenches85]

Good video there Luke. 1st time watching 👍

[@menditman2004]

Thanks you and welcome to my channel, hope you like my content 🙂👍

Tim Palmer wants his hair back!!!

[@menditman2004]

Well he can’t have it, I’m sensible enough not to have it cut off in winter 😂🙂👍

[@retrorestore]

Good detailed video on this Tillotson carb Luke. Carb spray does a great job removing lacquer build up in the smaller ports.

[@menditman2004]

Thanks Martin, I’ve always been a big fan of carb spray I buy it by the 12 pack, Imo can’t beat the stuff for cleaning carbs 🙂👍

[@joeortiz3455]

Thank you Luke for the Tillotson tear down and build I have never seen that type carb im in the United States the carb looks very sturdy

[@menditman2004]

They I a nice carb I like them, they run nice on the saw 🙂👍

[@joeortiz3455]

@@menditman2004 Luke it looks like a huge carburetor I heard you say it was on a stihl chainsaw that joker must be a beast!

[@BensWorkshop]

Good work. Are you going to show it refitted and running?

[@menditman2004]

Hi yes the Chainsaw it’s comes from will feature in a video soon, thanks for watching 🙂👍

[@freedommowers420]

Nice clean rebuild on that old carb. Amazing the size difference from then to what’s on the modern saws. I bet this would run like a champ fitted up to the saw.

[@menditman2004]

They do run well on the saws, video of that will be up soon 🙂👍

[@fixitorstripitGardenmachines]

Looks fantastic now and should work well. Great vid

[@menditman2004]

Saw needs a few parts when I get them I’ll be doing a video on the saw 🙂👍

[@themowerman]

A good carb rebuild.. where did you get the kit from

[@menditman2004]

Thanks I bought the kit from eBay 🙂👍

[@themowerman]

Think I had one fitted to a wood chipper pro I had once

[@menditman2004]

I, not aware they made. 2 stroke chippers 🤔🙂👍

[@themowerman]

@@menditman2004 Yeah

[@loganscott7129]

Same carb as my 1964 ski doo lol

[@menditman2004]

Hi really I didn’t know that, imo they were great carbs 🙂👍

[@bumpkinrocks]

Hi Luke, I've had really good luck with Tillitson carburettors. Not sure if they're still made, everything is now either fitted with Walbro or junky Zama. 👍

[@menditman2004]

Hi I’m not sure, I don’t think so I’m sure I’ve seen the same car with zama on it so perhaps they bought out Tillotson. They were a great carb they did make smaller ones as well but this one I like. Thanks 🙂👍

[@Big_Johns]

Nice video Luke, looks like a well built carb. I've done a few Tillotsons in the past but they were a lot smaller. I hope you got that rebuild kit from a reputable vendor and not some scallywag con man. :)

[@menditman2004]

Thanks, I’m Curious why you ask where I got the kit from? 🙂👍

[@Big_Johns]

Oh I figured our buddy may have hooked you up with it. 🤣

Great content. Good work on the rebuild also mate. Take care 👍🏻🔧

[@menditman2004]

Thanks 🙂👍

[@Sconnietecumseh]

Please show your viewers the correct way to set the Control Lever - flush - with the floor of the metering chamber. If it is NOT set level, the "inlet needle" will not seat properly. Fuel flow will be cut off, if that lever sits HIGH relative to the floor of the chamber. I use a small chunk of razor blade as a level.

[@menditman2004]

Hi it was ok I didn’t need to make any adjustments it ran great on the saw, It’s rare I’ve had to adjust these carbs apart from the fuel adjustment screws, so I decided not to mention it. A clean and new carb kit alone works for me every time. Bare in mind my videos are aimed at people that are not mechanics, so I don’t want to over confuse people. Thanks for watching 🙂👍

[@menditman2004]

But if I come across one of these carbs again to clean I will mention what you said 🙂👍
