How to Fix the Most Common Problems with 2 Cycle / 2 Stroke Engines - Trimmer, Blower, Chainsaw

How to Diagnose & Fix most Problems with a 2 Cycle / 2 Stroke Engine. This engine had so many things wrong with it that I thought it would be a good teaching video to learn most every problem you can run into with a 2 cycle engine and how to repair it.
You will learn how to diagnose and fix:
- Engine Bogs or won't start
- How to disassemble, clean & rebuild a 2 cycle carburetor.
- How to remove & clean or replace the fuel filter.
- How to remove & clean or replace the fuel tank vent.
- How to adjust / tune the high and low side fuel adjustment screws.
- How to check for spark.
- How to remove, gap & replace the ignition coil.
- How to check and clean the spark arrestor.
- How to check compression and what is good or bad compression.
- How to tell if a piston and cylinder wall is scored.
... and much more.
I think you will learn almost everything you need to figure out why a 2 cycle engine won't start, runs poorly, misses, won't throttle up, bogs down, etc.. Whether you have a string trimmer, blower, tiller, chainsaw or other 2 stroke engine equipment, I think this video will teach you most everything you need to know to fix your equipment and keep them in good working condition.

What's the purpose of the rubber plugs on the carb adjustment screws?

[@garyalensr]

They put the caps on at the factory so the home owner doesn't mess with the settings. They set it to the factory. If you want it to run better, take the caps out and adjust it yourself. If you know how. If you don't take it somewhere or to someone who does.

Good video. I suggest to always pull out the screen and check it. It's just too easy not to do it.

[@HonkyTonkHellraiser]

Atleast you cab save it, and part it out

[@vortextricking6849]

Mr. Smooth did it again

[@gregoryhayes885]

Its to rich if it's starting with no choke but not with the choke.

[@victhemec]

Your spark plug is defective. The spark was going under the electrode. The spark should be going between the spark plug gap.

[@StephenWickson]

On what blower, look again the first blower had spark in between the gap

[@73superglide62]

Everything is throw away

[@damienlamy60]

True no one wants to take time to do repairs

[@garykolbo7228]

You wouldn't have to do all that work on it if you owned a compression tester. you would have known within 10 seconds of the video.
