  • You buy a brand new carb, install it in your chainsaw, blower or weedeater, why doesn't it just run perfectly straight out of the box? It's new right?? What's wrong with it?? Here's what you NEED TO KNOW....AND WHAT THE MANUFACTURER CAN'T TELL YOU. I will tell you 4 reasons why your brand new carb needs to be tweaked to get it to work properly!
    How do you know if your carburetor needs adjusting? Your engine should rev smoothly and quickly as soon as you apply throttle. If the engine is acting sluggish when you apply the throttle, idles rough or dies then adjustments are needed. The goal of the adjustments is to establish the proper fuel and air mixture to achieve the appropriate engine speed at idle while ensuring that your engine is running as smoothly as possible.

      I have an older Poulan PP4218A chain saw that after using it a couple of times decided not to run anymore. After watching some videos, I replaced the carb, fuel lines, fuel filter, air filter and used brand new fuel mixture 40:1. Got it to start and run but it started running away. Tried to get it to idle down and then it stalled out. Did that several times. So I bought another new carb and the saw started. Trying to adjust it as well ( high side) it throttled up so high that I had to stop it. Made some very slight adjustment to high side, now the damn thing won’t start. I’ve tossed it back up on a shelf where it can rot. I’m tired of trying to get it to idle. It will either run so fast I’m afraid it will self destruct, or it won’t start at all.

  • @tkskagen
    @tkskagen Před rokem +2

    If your Carburetor (typically 2-stroke) has a "Double, or Single-D shaped A/F Needles), and needs adjustment, try this.
    Take a 12-14 Guage Electrical (blue) Butt/Blade Connector and slip the Female "recessed wire end" firmly over the "nut".
    The Blue Insulation will firmly "squeeze" over the adjustment head allowing one to "left-turn" the needle softly to bottom, then proceed to "right-turn" this to 1½ turns, and start your engine.
    Further "slow right-turning" may be required untill engine runns smoother and stronger!
    -I'm sure that Steve has heard this trick before, ROCK ON BRO!

    Hi Steve, today I was tuning my brand new Holzfforma 372XP with help from your 2017 video. This is my first petrol chainsaw ever. I only need to cut from time to time.
    Running it at 25:1 for a couple of tanks then I will go to 30:1 and check the plug. I am using gas that is specific for 2 stroke engines. Double the price but no crappy additives inside. I also mounted a tachometer on velcro on the top. Works like a charm. Any remarks from you will be greatly appreciated. Thank you ;)

  • @marksmith9295
    @marksmith9295 Před rokem +3

    Great info... a good dealer will setup the carb and run before selling. Not all do that though and certainly not the big box stores or online retail.

    • @mayberrysalesandserviceinc896
      @mayberrysalesandserviceinc896 Před rokem +1

      You're right a "good" dealer does exactly that but many don't even run the unit for a customer. I ran and adjusted EVERY new 2-cycle before it left our store for almost 50 years and found that if you don't do it upfront you'll end up doing it at some point.

  • @Leonardokite
    @Leonardokite Před rokem +3

    And reason number five: you just like to fiddle with things hahaha. But in all seriousness, I never really thought about that. I replaced the carburetor on my 2-stroke snow blower and I guess I got lucky cuz it worked great right off the bat.

  • @rhadden8976

    The compression of the engine will effect air fuel ratio also, ie a older low compression engine will require more fuel to run right.

  • @andybecker2693
    @andybecker2693 Před rokem +3

    Like you said, the changing seasonal temperatures will require a small adjustment. When it’s 30f my saw and blower require about 1/8 turn open on the screws. Then when it’s 90f I have to close them the same amount

    Hey Steve, xlogger sounding off here...I get why one would adjust a new carb, but here in Southern Virginia my elevation is 405' above sea level or so, but the temperature range is like 10 to 100°f. I've never adjusted my stihls or huskies for the different seasons...🤔🤔🤔maybe I will do that for optimal performance now. Thanks!🤪

    Steve you are a great teacher. I have a yardman 2010 riding mower. I looked all over the internet on how to install an extension spring that connects the brake/clutch and runs to the back frame. None to be found. We ended up using a hydraulic jack and chain to get it on. I would love to see how you would do it. All is working except now I can't get off the mower without engine shutting off. Blade off, gear neutral, parking brake on. It use to work. I checked for disconnected wire but none found. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  • @100vg
    @100vg Před rokem +1

    I didn't think about temperature and you say there are still more reasons. Now I'm sure this applies to brand new, unused chainsaw, too. I had planned to follow your carb adjustment video anyway, just to be sure, but now I know I will have to. I'll buy the correct carb adjustment tool from my local small engine shop to be prepared. Look at you. You have a 10-piece kit that should handle pretty much anything. It may also work on my 4-cycle riding mower carbs and my Powerhead with attachments and push mower carbs. I'll find out if it's needed for them soon. Cha-ching for you and savings and convenience for me. Thanks for this video and your Amazon store, Steve! You're the best!
    EDIT: I bought the carb adjusting tool kit, a package linked *Set of 4 Carburetor Carbon Dirt Jet Remove Cleaner 26 Cleaning Wires Set + 20 Cleaning Needles + 10 Nylon Brushes Tool Kit for Motorcycle ATV Moped Welder Carb Chainsaw Spray Guns Torch Tips* and 4 cans of package linked *Gumout 800002231 Carb and Choke Cleaner, 14 oz.* I hope you get a piece of the whole order.

    Absolutely true👍🏻 also, if your equipment has been modified in any way. One example with me (I know, warranty void) is if I get any new 2 cycle engine that is equipped with a catalytic muffler. After the first tank or two of fuel, once I'm confident I didn't buy a dud, it's muffler is getting its catalyst removed! Primarily because of the extra heat they generate! Not to mention porting or other modifications😅
    I'm twisted enough that I typically have the appropriate tuning drivers for the equipment I'm operating in my pocket🤪

    Part of the problem is the lack of carburetors being used anymore. Most people were born well after car were all fuel injected. They're very simple devices that people have no clue about. Remember when car owners manuals showed you hoe to adjust valve lash? Now the tell you not to drink the fluid in the battery. People don't understand simple things anymore.

    Hey Steve, Cheers from Calgary once again. Up here at 3600 feet, all Stihls run like a bag of crap out of the box. I tell all my customers that the machines need to be tweaked because the carbs are set for sea level by default, and not with the machine running, it is a ball park setting. I have even found that some units are set so rich that I have to remove the adjustment limiters to set them where they should be. I can only imagine how crappy they must run at an elevation like in Colorado. Don't forget "Winter mode" and "summer mode" on the BR600's, a lot of landscapers come to me and ask why it ran wonderful in the summer but now runs like balls in the winter. And I see you opted for an Old Mil today eh? :)

    Hello again Steve ! Always great information on your channel. All my other machines are Stihl, the best brand by far. No problem getting the carbs setup right on those.
    Anyway I have a Husqvarna 327 HE4 hedge cutter and adjusting the air/fuel mix on this carb must be different. Have you worked on these machines? I looked through you videos but didn't see one about these carburetors.

    Air cleaner makes a huge difference to the tune. Even how much oil is used on the foam element. Some people choke em right up with heavy engine oils.

  • @stellarproductions8888

    You are so right Steve! Now if only we can get 4-cycle engine manufacturers to bring back adjustable carburetors, so we can make them run right too! I got a Briggs 725-EXI engine, replaced the plastic carburetor, still runs like garbage. 5-year old engine, I suppose the only thing left I can do, is adjust the valves, maybe that will fix it, cause you sure as heck can't adjust these modern carbs!

    Is it possible to learn the basics of riding lawnmower maintenance at 62? I worked for Chrysler for 21 years and would like to learn how my riding mower works. I used push mowers for years but at 62 I can’t do that anymore. I know how to change the oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter and do a tune up. I can clean the entire mower. I get in trouble understanding the carburetor and fuel system on the new John Deere mowers. They have added stuff that I not only do t know what it is but it’s an added confusion. I’ve replaced the ignition switch on it I don’t understand how to change the blades or belts on riders.

    Yup...
    I replaced the carb on my Stihl MS230 back in the Summer (after pump-gas was changed to 10% Ethanol cr@p here in the UK and my carb seals, diaphragms, jets etc wouldn't run on it, so I asked Steve's advice on what to do next? -Thanks Steve, I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to my dumbass questions... 😁👍) with the equivalent carb off Amazon for 1/5th the price of a Stihl-branded replacement, but the darn thing just wouldn't fire-up 😠😡😤🤬
    So I watched Steve's video about "How to set-up and tune your chainsaw carburettor" (not what it's called, but close-enough to find it I'm pretty sure... 🙂🤞) and bought a 2-stroke (🇬🇧)/2-cycle (🇨🇦/🇺🇸) tacho from China for £6.88 (🇬🇧)/about $6 (🇨🇦/🇺🇲) and had my 2006 saw running better than it ever had before inside of an hour, so listen to what The Man says, eh? 😎👍
    Peace-out Steve 😁

    Good deal, I just watched this and it reminds me I don’t remember how to adjust the carburetors on the equipment I have. Getting old and it’s been a while and I’m pretty sure there is no adjustment on my echo weed eater, I use the choke on it, but my new to me chainsaws ( my others were stolen)?nothing new, I need to look.

    Great information Steve! Now I am wondering if you have to adjust the carburetor on any new equipment purchase, i.e., lawn mover, snow blower. leaf blower, etc... 🤔🤔

    • @karlrovey
      @karlrovey Před rokem

      Most equipment is supposed to be factory tuned and shouldn't be re-tuned (unless running at high altitude) for the first few tanks of fuel. At least that's what the owner's manual says.

    Just found your channel because I've got a Q and don't see an answer on the net anywhere, maybe you can help. I bought a new Craftsman B&S self propelled mower a couple years ago and the manual says if I have the right mower, I can hang it up vertically on the wall for storage, but they conveniently left out how to differentiate whether or not I have the right mower. All it says is if I don't have the right mower, I can wreck my engine.. lol... I have a small garage and it would be helpful to get it out of my way. Can you shed some light on the subject?

    Hey Steve, great point about the new carbs needing adjustment. However, with all due respect, I think you might have missed one other very important item that should be considered, and that's what beer you're drinking when you adjust the carb...right? ;=)

    Bought a new carburetor for my Tb230 lawnmower. My lawnmower won't work. If I place the old carburator in the lawnmower it works, but dies. I noticed that the new carburetor (when disassembled has no gas in it. Why? There are no leaks in the fuel line. Could use the help.

    I was told by the manufacturer not to touch the carb. That it comes "preset". No touchie.

    Great information Steve! There are so many variables with tuning a carb on a small engine. I can't count how many pieces of equipment were saved by either tuning or overhauling the carb. I live by the motto if you own a piece of equipment, you should learn how to work on it. Cheers from Alberta 🍻

    Hi Steve. I have an older Homelite weed trimmer and trying to find a substitute for my Waldron WT318. Mine has the purge bulb on the button and the newer ones have the bulb on top. I have rebuilt my existing carb a few times but no longer successful. It will no longer draw up fuel when primed no matter what I do. Will a newer model WT318 work. Thanks.
