@@GuysPlayingWithTools Sweet👍🏾

@bigsonslawncare The bonus is that you can check the age of the fuel, by taste. 🙄

If you need to do the fuel line, it's 3 tie straps and 2 minutes time. (Gotta love that, but it doesn't make good video). It's in great shape, I thought about selling my JD and keeping it but after testing, I changed my mind. It has the turning radius of a limousine Edit: for Big Son, the difference between a good day and a great day is all about the girl at Krispy Creme giving him a few free doughnut holes. 🤣

🤣🤣🤣

Wow is any channel SACRED😕🍩🤣

Nadda one 🤣🤣

When it's funny... I am gonna go with no, nothing is sacred, and not much is off limits(moms are off limits. That's all I can think of) 🤣

@alicialewis9001 airbox to the carb? If it were me, I would take the screw to lowes and find one a bit larger(not much, just a little). It's either that or replace the carb, so you aren't going to hurt anything trying

@lewiemcneely9143 I have heard of it, but I worry too much to try it on a machine I might never see again(at least that's the plan when I sell them) 😁

@@GuysPlayingWithTools Mine was/were a local deal and it was good enough for who it was for! And I was still here if anything else happened.

@lewiemcneely9143 I can see where that would work. Mine go all over Dallas and Ft Worth

@@GuysPlayingWithTools You're too famous for your own good!

Yeah right. I'm a legend in my own mind. 🤣

@mason4427 Funny you should say that, I got a new roll yesterday that are way cooler than the old ones. Email me your address, and I'll send 2. 😁

@larryz24 Is good to hear you are getting closer. Be patient and take your time, and it will be easier. When I am doing a project like this one, I remind myself that all the time.

@@robertmailhos8159 I have Kohlers in every corner this week, I usually only see one a month

@@GuysPlayingWithTools well at least you got some work to do 😄

@@robertmailhos8159 True true. It's all about not wasting days

@@GuysPlayingWithTools 👍👍

@@jjella77 Thanks!

@dfields9511 If it's idling at 1/2 choke, then it's probably good, but still a little thirsty. Back the L out a bit until you can turn the choke off and then tune as usual. I haven't tried the electrical connector, but now, I have to try it 🙂

@dfields9511 Side note, the new Stihl carbs are failing all over the place. Cheap aftermarket are actually better. (It hurt to say that, but it's true )

@@GuysPlayingWithTools cool that’s what I got an aftermarket one

@@GuysPlayingWithTools it works if you don’t have the tool. It’s a little more difficult to do but it will work depending on how the adjustment screws are shaped

@@dfields9511 You will be better off with it.

I like to start a bit low. This way, you know it's probably low when you start testing, and you won't go back and forth any more than you have to. (If that makes sense?)

Good point. I may not have said it well enough when I covered that part. If it moves a little and retracts, it's *usually* OK. Of course, there is always the exception. 👍

It only takes a couple hours if it's not caked on like this one was. I used it to show the method because it was the worst I had ever seen.

Thanks, I hope so. You are in the UK, right? We are going to be there next weekend. 🙂

It works surprisingly well. Use POR15 pdq after you are done to seal it, and it will last forever. 👍

Thanks. The temperature is messing with me this week. It was a normal 104-106 last week, and now the high is 93 today. It might be aliens 👽 🤣

You will love this, 85% tap water, 15% Pine Sol. It works great, doesn't discolor parts and makes the garage smell clean.

Thanks! I waited a while for the right piece of equipment for this video. 🙂

@@robertmailhos8159 Thanks, I tried to stay on point and make it easy for people who don't see them much.

@@GuysPlayingWithTools you got that right Bill 💸💰

@MikeMike-is2hl You are completely correct. I am usually good about showing it, I accidentally edited out that part and didn't catch it until days after it was released

@larryz24 You have it figured out 👍

@lewiemcneely9143 Good fuel is always step 1. I am somehow surviving the cold front. It's been under 100 for 4 straight days 🥶🤣

@@GuysPlayingWithTools I hear you shaking and rattling every time I go outside. Winter will be here quick.

Next week we are going to the UK for a week. From what I understand, the weather is between 59 and 75 this time of year. I am bringing my winter clothes. 🤣

@@GuysPlayingWithTools Long Johns and don't drink a cup of tea for me. Can't handle the stuff but have a wonderful time anyway. My 'vacation' is to the V.A. tomporrow and then back to mowing and snapping beans which I did this evening..Job security and payment for my Chauffeur tomorrow.

@lewiemcneely9143 You can't fool me. You are probably on the beach chasing bikinis until your wife reels you in on vacation. 😁

Yes. When it's cold, it needs a bit of choke to start, and with a stock carb, you *usually* have to slowly ease off the choke after starting. Once they have a few hours on them, you can usually choke it, start it, and turn off the choke all at once.

@thewiseguy7100 You are 100% right. I am usually good about it, but I will make it a point in the future

Side note, these are pretty much build with 4 wrenches, 9/16 through 3/8 👍

It;s been a while but I am 95% sure that was a 7/16. It seems that I use the 7/16 and the 3/8 for almost everything on a McLane(or any Briggs motor) and occasionally 1 1/2 and 9/16

@54bouchard Wonky is something that is kinda wrong, off center, not working exactly right. I travel quite a bit and pick up the local dialect sometimes. 🤣

@@GuysPlayingWithTools thanks

My gut is saying WD-40

I retired that air ratchet in favor of a battery impact gun a year or so ago. If you have someone that can lend you a battery impact(3/8 works great), it will spin right off. If not, take it to O'Reillys or Autozone and they will happily loosen it for you for free 👍

You can get them at most auto parts stores. They usually aren't out on the shelf, so you will have to ask about them. I stick one to each mower and never lose nuts and bolts this way.

It's a 2 year old video, I was still learning camera angles in the beginning. If you prefer cheap tools, that's OK, but with a little practice, you can learn how to work more efficiently with power tools.

The stock carb on an 87 G1 has stops that limit how far you can turn the screws but if you look on the left side while holding the handle, you will find an access slot or hole(s) for adjustment. If it has been sitting a while, you may need to do a carb rebuild ebuild or replacement first. This video shows adjusting a chainsaw carb from the beginning after replacement. m.th-cam.com/video/hM8JyV77dKM/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUqVHVuaW5nIGEgY2hhaW5zYXcgYWZ0ZXIgcmVwbGFjaW5nIHRoZSBjYXJi Chainsaws are all the same when tuning, and this one needed a few tweaks before it was right, so it's a good example. Let me know if or helps. 👍

@@tonym.9930 give me 5 minutes, I will go back through the files and find the one I used. 👍

This is the carb I used for the video. Take your carb off and make sure all the lines, linkage and the little hole between to motor and the carb(negative pressure port, it's the fuel pump) all match. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BYZJ6C4Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Let me know how it goes!

@@GuysPlayingWithTools Much appreciated!

Let me know how it goes, I like hearing success stories!

Thanks 😁

The oil takes a few minutes to burn out of the muffler when that happens. I used this one for trim work this morning, no smoke at all after a couple minutes

@rk22cc <-- Everybody listen to him, he knows dust he's talking about. Lol

@lewiemcneely9143 Ok, not always, but it sure feels like it sometimes 🤣 It cooled off a bit with highs in the mid 90s this week. That's a cold front for Dallas in July.

@@GuysPlayingWithTools You'll FREEZE! Hugg that Honey, Palley and Happy Weekend! BOTH of yall!

@lewiemcneely9143 I almost need a jacket today, it's only 92

@@GuysPlayingWithTools Just don't stand still and frost over!

@@lewiemcneely9143 It might sound crazy but 92 feels pretty good after a few days over 100

I think the same thing every time I buy fuel line, but I can't let them go without new plugs, filters and fuel line.

You are goooood. 🤣

@@GuysPlayingWithTools it is The First Edition

😅

@lawrencecarroll2031 I am usually good about putting a drop or 3 of oil in them before I put them on, I dunno what I was thinking on this one. 🙄🤣

The trick is to isolate the parts so none wander off. It can drive you crazy when you buy a kit that has replacement bolts in it, and they are still sitting there at the end.

It's a 3/8 air ratchet. Batteries have come a long way since then though, I switched off to a battery impact about a year ago

They do vary a bit from year to year. Once you get a good idea of how they go together and what to look for, it gets a lot easier 🙂 (I love getting comments like this!)

Sure, but I wouldn't want to run it in the driveway or yard that way, lot's of dust gets kicked up and it would be rough on the motor.

It might surprise you how easy it is to throw a carb on one of these. I go at 1/2 speed when the camera is running so I can explain what I am doing, When it's off, a carb replacement takes me about a minute. You don't have to be a "motorhead" at all. A new carb is usually around $15 on Amazon.

@LoganHester-1489 That means it's not getting enough fuel. It needs either a carb rebuild or a new carb. A new one is under $15 on Amazon and super easy to install. Take the old carb off and put it in front of you while ordering so you can make sure you get the exact one. A dozen different carbs will fit, so be careful while picking out the right one. 👍

@@GuysPlayingWithTools k thank you

@@GuysPlayingWithTools I thought so

@@LoganHester-1489 Let me know how it comes out👍

@@GuysPlayingWithTools what size fule line does the older bx-90take

Yes bc of airborne dust eats up the cylinder

You definitely want an air filter out in the yard, it's pretty rough on the motor to suck all that dirt in.

Sure! what can you tell me about it? Did it sit for a while? Does it try to start?

2 stroke carbs are pretty easy to rebuild. Make sure the passages are all clear and lay the fuel gasket and metering diaphragm on the desk in front of you when ordering parts so you can visually match them up and you will be good to go. You can buy cheap carbs on Amazon too if you aren't comfortable taking one apart. Don't let anyone tell you they don't work, I have done it hundreds of times with no problems at all. (again, have the old carb on the desk when ordering and make sure they are identical, by picky!)

@@GuysPlayingWithTools Actually, I'm trying to understand how carbs work. I already ordered a new carb for (pressure washer). We got it on and cranked, there was smoke coming out the exhaust. It soon cleared, but seemed to not be revved up enough, so my husband proceeded to adjust the screw that I think controls the fuel stream. Meanwhile I was busy pressure washing to see if it seemed to have as much power as it did before the break down. (We also put on a new water pump) Ran for about 5 minutes, thinking it might be revved up too high. Turned it off and noticed the screw had fallen out! He screwed it back in, with it's spring. Still, it seems revved up too high, and I wonder if something inside the carb got damaged from backing the screw all the way out? When he pulled the cord it seemed to catch a little, (did something from the carb get loosened and get in there?) had not done that before. It did finally crank, but I think I'll have to look at the carb again because something is not right. Sorry to be so long winded.

@karenbearden6198 It's all good. Send me an email at Bill.jarboe@charter.net, and I will give you/your husband a call tomorrow(pick a time) and we can go over carb basics. Once you see how they work, they get really easy really fast. 👍

@@GuysPlayingWithTools That's nice of you, but really I'm the tinker around here. I want to at least try to fix it myself, my husband not so much. He is right there with me in case I need a hand, but he doesn't instigate. Thanks again, your videos are much appreciated!

Thanks, I really enjoying doing it! Feel free to make suggestions and ask questions. I personally answer everything and most of my videos are based on things people have recently asked me about. 🙂

@DIYVariety I try to throw that into videos. For most people, a quick carb replacement is the right way to go. 👍
