    Though I’m an rc airplane guy, I enjoyed your excellent video. The non-serviceable inlet is the “seat check valve”. The other side has fingers crimped in holding a little disk. They do go bad, and it’s fairly easy to destroy one with a blast of air or carb spray. They are “non serviceable” in the sense that Walbro has discontinued those parts, but you might find old stock on line. Old one can be removed with the right size screw or the Walbro tool kit once contained a punch. Some models also had pressed in ‘nozzle check valve’ which had the crimped end in the throat of the carb as part of the main jet. If damaged, at idle there is vacuum on the idle port because it’s inboard of the throttle plate, but there is not enough flow through the Venturi to create vacuum at the main jet- so the idle jet might pull some air in through the main jet instead of drawing fuel from the metering chamber… erratic/unstable mixture at idle. Anyhoo, can’t really blame Walbro for discontinuing those parts. I think most of their business is from power equipment repair shops, and no one is going to want to spend $22 for rebuild kit, like $80/hour shop rate- and maybe end up with a bad and not available check valve. People either get a new (or knockoff) carb, or in the case of a cheap string trimmer- throw the whole machine away

    Nice job Mark. thank you! This step by step video was essential for a WalBro Carb rebuild on a 25 year old VARIO ALOUETTE II 1:6 scale RC helicopter. I’m now Celebrating with a smooth idling engine after …… well…… 10 pulls. What a difference! Idling like never before. Side note: As I didn’t have profi punch tools needed for refitting the Welsh washers (?), I used similar sized hex drivers….. with success! I did struggle with the smaller copper fitting … mine did not come out as easily as yours. Beware. Flying this coming weekend. Regards from Switzerland

    😳😲😲 Wow... That is so cool/awesome/insane. Your braking/suspension system is just blowing my mind. I had/was into RC when I was younger (10-12), just battery power. I couldn't afford the fuel running RC. I had no idea the RC fuel world build was this insane. What does this RC fuel world build starting cost if someone as myself were interested in getting/building an RC at this insane level? TIA... Very Cool RC.

    right so.. maybe im not the best researcher when it comes to this topic but perhaps you can somewhat answer my question: is there like a sign or something that may tell me if a motor is quote on quote worn out? cause you can't tell me with the wear and tear and stresses a motor goes through, it doesn't wear down. bare in mind, im fairly new to gas (specifically RC) engines like Zenoah or ones from Rovan.
