[@MrOlgrumpy]

Hi josh,when I took off the diaphram,the gasket was stuck on and I didn't realise there were two pieces and reassembled it without and it floods like crazy,gotta di it again ! bugger !

[@JoseGarcia-yi3kh]

I thank you for the lesson. I would like to contact you as i have that same carburator on an old Homelite string trimre and need the rebuild kit. i went direct to Homelite and they show no results when i search the model no. The walbro carb has numbers on it but dont retuirn anything either.

The black tip on a needle is called Viton.

The reason screens get clogged is because people are sloppy and do not remove sawdust from around the fuel cap before they refill the tank and let the fuel filter come off the fuel line and any sawdust in the tank ends up in the carb.

Good info but please.........FOCUS!!

I was wondering why you didn't clean the high low adjustment screws?

[@cjpowerequipmentsmallengin2294]

You are correct. I could have showed that, but I was wanting to show the process of a rebuild.

I have a Walbro WT 471 (non adjustable high speed jet) This Homelite Yard Broom (blower) does not have a throttle trigger but only levers on the choke and throttle butterfly-for two speeds. Question...the high speed jet has a fixed plug in it, sticks out about 1/2" and I cannot turn or seem to do anything with it...what are my options? The engine seems to load up with gas, I did install a new primer bulb, needle, and metering diaphragm. It initially ran excellent but then started to load up with fuel, lose power and bog...spark plug is soaked with gas.

[@rdft9092]

Hello, I'm no pro, but you may have to adjust the metering lever. If it is set incorrectly, it can prevent the needle from fully engaging the seat. Results in fuel running through the carb and an extremely rich condition. See KZbin for how it is done. Good luck.

[@cjpowerequipmentsmallengin2294]

Ray, sorry for the late reply. Without seeing your exact carburetor it is hard to say. Generally when a carburetor only has one adjustment screw you have to find a happy medium with the settings. You need a clean crisp throttle and not too lean. You mentioned that you replaced the needle, when doing so did you check and make sure that your metering arm was not set too high? If it is too high it will cause a rich condition.

Why wont my primer bulb fill after reassembly?

[@cjpowerequipmentsmallengin2294]

Make sure your fuel lines are in the correct place. It is very easy to mix up the two lines.

[@bksaun]

Turn your radio off dude! It’s also so blurry we cant see details.

[@wolfgangbrett]

Is the fuel return elbow replaceable on a walbro 997?

[@cjpowerequipmentsmallengin2294]

I am not sure.

[@jamieatkins1707]

Very blurry video. I wasn't able to see what you were doing.

[@7777dblack]

The close ups were not watchable due to poor focus.

[@mikemckool6645]

How 'bout you turn the radio off and focus your camera a little better.

[@tcollins248]

Good tutorial but photography, not so good.

[@z1_performance94]

Nice blurry video 👎
