To a terrific lady & technician: I must thank you for your the way you explain things, your professionalism, + the way you demonstrate each operation of a repair. Your product knowledge is uncanny to say the least. In one of your recent videos on string trimmers you had mentioned about greasing the head bearing. Over my lifetime I must have owned 6 gasoline string trimmers and I never knew about this maintenance issue. I have a 1 year old Red Max gas trimmer, I checked it & you were 100% correct. It was dry as the Sahara desert 🏜. There is nothing in the owners manual about this maintenance requirement. Thank you again 💓 💖, I'm glad that I'm a subscriber to your channel. Stay well 🙏 & be great as always, Thomas from N.J.

[@Chickanic]

Thank you Thomas! Glad I could help!

I did around 40 post holes with one just like that when my wife wanted a garden.... it's leaning out in the mower shed in a corner for the last 7 years....

[@sidvis7235]

I also watch "Steve's Small Engine Saloon" He also got that spiral metering diaphragm from Walbro, and did a video on it. Wish ZAMA would do the same for their carbs.

[@nealrehm6895]

Ten months ago, you probably won’t read this but I enjoyed this video. I fly Radio Control airplanes, large scale. Most have walbro carb’s. Except they don’t have primers. We’ve got to be extremely careful with are needle settings. Most run over 6400 RPM. You probably would believe the crap that clog’s the micro screen inside those little carbs. I wonder if that new diagram assembly is available for these engines? Most of us use ethanol free 91 or higher and there’s no consensus of best two stroke oil! NWR C/S Krafty.

[@garymucher4082]

I enjoy watching your continuing posted videos. As many as those Walbro carbs as I have fixed, who knew they would come out with a new type diaphragm... And 9 out of 10 times it is that diaphragm too. In fact, I don't know if I ever needed a new needle or seat. Thumbs Up!

[@Chickanic]

Thanks Gary!

[@alanknoll5540]

That was awesome. You rebuilt that carbeurator. The best part was that it ran good.

[@Mechanicturfgear]

Very nice to see new stuff in the way of kits .I’ll have to check the site out and see .👍

[@patthesoundguy]

I love their innovation. I have had access to the new metering diaphragms for a while now but I keep forgetting to order a couple from my Walbro supplier when I make an order.

[@buellrod]

And using those spring diaphragms for the last couple years from walbro they are a game changer

[@wadewacker7276]

Wow!! I can remember them Walbro’s back in the day👍 Didn’t realize their popularity these days. Had a big ol Walbro on my 75 Scorpion Whip. No troubles with it. Liked your video😎

[@cheryljason9617]

Ha new favorite small engine mechanic... you are using a couple quality tools that I use everyday since 97... I'm a electrician good choice...🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@ggg-fv9zz]

Beautiful handsome shop kitty. It's about time a company made a lasts a lifetime carb kit. Let's hope they don't charge too much for it?

[@raymondcastro7938]

You are the best yet from all the videos I watched thank you

[@johnclarke6647]

I use Briggs AFt or 5 in 1 stabilizer when I can find it. I bought ten bottles a few years ago when Walmart put it out with a liquidation price. I guess this shows what most homeowners think about fuel stabilizer. I try to buy oem Walbro carburator rebuild kits when I can find them. I burn only Premium non ethanol gas in everything I own, small engine. When I rebuild a carb it gets cooked in my ultrasonic and blown out with compressed air when that is through.

[@billwessels207]

I like your content and upbeat personality. Makes the videos a pleasant experience.

[@frederickburns1739]

Hope you read this comment. I am a retired CAT&CUMMINGS diesel mechanic and I enjoy your videos. About ten years ago I had a friend that bought a boat with a inboard engine that had been sitting for several years. It had a 75 gallon gas tank that was about half full of stale gas. He asked me for advice on the stale gas because I worked on marine diesels. So I told him about a company named Starbright that had a product called Starton. Which to his and mine amazement brought that gas back from the dead! After that I researched the product and found it to be a fuel stabilizer that's really good for treating ethanol gas! I have been using it for all my engine including chainsaws and string trimmer.

[@JOEZEP54]

It was so happy to come alive it did not want to stop. Nice repair. Stay safe, Joe Z

[@rexhavoc2982]

I have found that carbs are not machined flat, I use a new wide fine cut flat file and slide the carb up the file enough times to see a clean flat surface, I do the same with the end caps, If a part has a raised section dont file it off just work around it, You will be surprised how un flat the parts are and the diaphragms fit and seal better.With a new fine flat file you wont see any scratch marks.This helps with the primer bulb sucking air and not fuel.

[@darwincaverly]

Hi, I was a Lab Tech for Walbro for 4 years, worked at Husqvarna for 24 years and 1 year at Stihl. Just wanted to say I enjoy you videos and your do a very good job.

[@williambray4134]

Hi, Miss Bre😎 Him's a BIG boy😺 A lot of guys sing praises about Echo fuel line. My Poulan 3800 came with Echo line installed. The seller was nice enough to send me a length of the line to use in my S25AV as he never installed the line in one. After installation I used some PC Duster Gas to verify the line wasn't plugged, or blocked in any way.

[@wildefox1478]

Great video, that's awesome Walbro came out with those new kits and long lasting purge bulbs to combat the effects of ethanol gas on small engine equipment!

[@jeffmonroe9766]

Finally a company that cares about its reputation!!! So many companies cutting corners (China) to improve bottom line after a company spent years building a good name for it's self really scary!!!

[@XY_Dude]

Great “Home Alone” thumbnail!

[@dkat1108]

Ah the ole Roadkill gas tank trick trick LOL great video !

[@ThatandCo]

kool info on parts !!!! solved most all my fuel problems by going with Aspen fuel in the mower and trufuel premixes in all the 2 cycle stuff and as always drain your equipment in the fall and it will start in the spring.

[@paulzacher5672]

I had fuel issues since ethanol gas came around. Used ethanol remover with some results. Point being, I moved to a rural community where a station has non ethynol gas with a 91 octane. No problems since. I know everyone can't move. I am just agreeing that ethanol gas is a problem

[@matthewshat]

True ethanol is bad but it’s the benzene in gasoline that does the worst damage to small engines.

[@davidwilcox9110]

I have repaired an old Tecumseh chipper gas tank (brittle due to age, and also where you place your left hand to pull the starter cord) with JB Weld a year or more ago. It still is holding and working.

[@dclawnmaintenanceandsnowre4099]

I've seen Steve talked about it but never installed it good video

[@RichardRides]

My dad works at Walbro’s up in Cass City Michigan.

[@johnclarke6647]

I pressure test all carbs to 7# before they go back on a piece of equipment. I use my Mighty Vac. If they do not pass this test, vacuum and pressure I disassemble them to see where I screwed up.

[@nrhareiner]

I've rebuilt quit a few carbs but on small stuff it's cheap and easier to just buy a new one. just ordered one for one of my cheap chainsaws got everything from the spark plug fuel filter & lines & carb for $16

[@rebeltaz123]

I don't know if you have one or not, but if you don't you should really think about getting an ultrasonic cleaner. I finally got one for my shop a few months ago and that has totally changed the carburetor game. A run or two in Simple Green in the cleaner and those carburetors come up squeaky clean! I've even used it on those two stroke gas tanks and they come up like brand new. A 6.5l size is the one I got. Once you use one, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it!

[@michaelsnell4034]

I have one of those Predator augers. The mold for the choke lever is marked backwards, the choke on position is actually choke off. Aside from that, they are good engines. I have both an Auger and a generator. With the automotive size of muffler on the generator, it is the quietest one I have ever heard.

[@samwittstruck.6685]

No

[@williamgrissom1995]

I wonder how the carb kit is holding up after the 2 years since this video was posted? It seemed like a pretty cool innovation. Great video. 😎👍

[@MrTonyred]

Yes, I like Walbro too.

[@edwhite8166]

Thanks! Your video are great ,I learn a little from each one. I have been work on small engines sense 1967.

[@jessicabuckman9675]

Nice job mam, another fine job you've done.

[@MrBjseales]

Wow! My day is complete. I learned something new. Thank you for providing the part numbers. Most awesome video.

[@markkinney5030]

That Walbro carb. kit is really nice! IN are shop going to be a much kit to use on there carb. That unit started so fast and ran great from idle to full rpm was right there. Thanks for showing that. nice!

[@kathypriddy8430]

Got a lot of old pieces mixed with the new. Hope you are able to keep track of them, because I certainly can’t.

[@reganmccutcheon7988]

So I’m curious why change to spiral diaphragm and new prime bulb but still use the old technology fuel pump diaphragm? Also I would love to see a comparison on carb cleaner, is walbro’s better? Your doing a great job, Thanks 😊

[@jeffreycanipe1936]

I read about this new diaphragm a while back. Glad to see how it is installed.

[@johnbelliveau4704]

Steve's Saloon showed the same diaphragm some time ago and loved it. I'm sure you will too !!

[@andyjones6361]

Great video chick!! Keep them coming??

[@georgejohnson3262]

I really appreciate your channel for all your precise and clear instructions for small engine repair.....Now that I have said that...My only complaint is I really would like to see CLOSE UPS of the detail parts that you so hastily put together ie .. carburetor jets,needle valves...etc. etc... Thank You so very much.....I have learned so much from your channel.

[@aodhmacraynall8932]

Heck! I haven't even seen it yet and I'm giving it a like!

[@themowerman]

Good afternoon.. just putting up some Christmas lights for Riley boy before he gets home from school.. will watch In a while

[@Chickanic]

Hello Darlin'! Hope all is well across the pond. Yes, I still don't have my lights up. lol

[@kkovler1]

I will keep using old style metering diaphragm. not paying that much for a spiral one when I ca n get 10 older style for same price. so what I change them out every so many years!

[@brianking1138]

I knew about those new diaphragms but this is the first video I have seen making a repair with one. Thanks for showing us that they work well.

[@jdclay1547]

@Chickanic a shop tour would be a cool video if you have time. Good point non ethanol fuel or premix is the key. Pump gas should be outlawed for 2 strokes. I've always liked WALBRO as well.

[@michmvp]

Does Walbro make those kits to fit other brands?

[@shoptalkwithbrett6572]

That is a pretty cool concept. And Toby the cat kind of looks like one of Taryl’s cats “Mommo”.

[@Chickanic]

I haven't seen his cat, but everyone needs a shop kitty!

[@shoptalkwithbrett6572]

@@Chickanic My cat, Minnie sometimes comes out in my little shop but I’m not too keen on the idea of her being outside since she’s primarily an indoor cat. She’s a big grey tabby. Probably close to 20 pounds. And Taryl just uploaded a vid of his cats several days ago.

[@caf3685]

Great job! I enjoyed the video.

[@henrymurawskibigdogrepair]

Ok great video on that Walbro test

[@MrPandale]

After a carb job, unknown idle speed, I would not start the auger on a metal table with side rails. I detach the auger, set powerhead on concrete block and go.

[@PeterToch]

I thoroughly enjoy your videos as I find them both instructive and entertaining, thank you. I have a Husqvarna 350 chainsaws. The manual calls for a 50:1 gas to oil mix for fuel. I have been using 45:1 mix in the belief that a bit of extra lubrication would be beneficial to keep the engine well lubricated. The saw seemed to be running fine with the 45:1 gas to oil fuel mix. Is there a down side to my thinking? Your comments/suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, Peter Toch

[@jeremybrain5774]

That was really cool. Thanks for sharing

Somewhat same genre of same but different: Stihls new fuel filters. Made because of problems with m tonic carbs wearing out prematurely, but will retrofit most older professional grade Stihl and Husqvarna saws.

[@flatlandriver2471]

Used to use an articulated (two lengths joined with a u-joint) hydraulic drag auger when I would load grain. Hydraulic motor mounted on the intake of the actual grain auger. Handle on the other end of the drag auger. No off switch on that thing. Sooo dangerous. Nowadays I pucker up just looking at augers🙈

[@oldmanfred8676]

Love you Chickanic!

[@justonnie]

I was on board until you pulled out the harbor freight predator auger. I am certain that this is made with a clone walbo carburetor. Although it is good to know that the walbro units will fit in the much less expensive carburetors.

[@nos9341]

A lot of those Chinese carbs are better. Tooling and quality control on Tecumseh carbs was absolutely brutal. Chinese copies of Tillotson HL have excellent casting, compare that to the Irish made one then the old American made ones. In order the old American made were the nicest followed by a very close second for the Chinese and then you get the Irish made stuff now... You want to see something that will make you cry? have a look at a Tillotson race carb and then a Chinese regular production carb. You will wonder if the Irish were into the booze on casting day. Anyhow my point: Use an OEM skin kit in a clone carb. The Chinese make a decent casting but I'm not sure they skins are as consistent

[@jimmungai1938]

Your cat is beautiful and it’s neat you got them I’m a sap for dogs and cats I have a cat I had up got out in Seattle and got them by default this young couple they wouldn’t take care of them and I got to keep them but anyway buzzer he was the light of my life for 15 years and I still miss him today even though he I had to have them put down in 08 anyway can you tell me good job I think you’re a neat lady and good luck and thanks for the information on those Walbro products

[@timburwell7296]

so I bought the new longer lasting forever spiral metering diaphragm about three years ago, and my tiller ran amazing for about a year then started bogging down, now two and a half years later it won't start. what now? do I replace it with another one? or regular metering diaphragm and rest of regular carb kit? I used fuel stabilizer which I think helped, but eventually, still have to clean and rebuild the carb pretty regularly.
