![[4 Quick DIY Fixes] Generator only Runs on Choke / Half-choke!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/fgxgdKl7Mw0/mqdefault.jpg)
Can't wait to try this tomorrow on my pain in the ass trimmer tomorrow 😂
Thank you, after watching a bunch of videos on this subject you are the only one to come up with the answer to my problem.
I know its 3 years later, but this saved my little gardening butt today. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.
Thanks man! That was the trick that got my "strimmer" going again. 👍
I figured id add that when the choke is on it creates a vacuum throughout the whole carb and actually draws more gas and less air. It means your engine is no longer able to suck enough gas thtough the lines because of blockage. Check the fuel diaphrams in the carb! Great video thanks for the help!
Correct. If the settings worked before, and no one messed with them; the jet adjustment is not the issue.
'ave a little twisty turn of them screws... Love it! Great video and very helpful. Thanks👍
Thanks for the video it helps me getting my weed eater back after being bogging in full throttle. When searching I only find video explaining engines with 2 adjusting screws, this the first I found explaining engines with just a single caprator adjusting screws. Now I get my engine back to work 😀😀 thanks...
You’re welcome Salle :)
The man on here giving so helpful advise and all you three can say as thank you is about the guy music. Ungrateful lot of xxxxx
Thank you we been having problems with sgs strimmer watched your vid starts every time now thank you
Thank you. Great video, this has helped me enormously.
Excellent video and explained brilliantly.
Your segment on trimmer run on choke only was very helpful!
Good I’m glad it helped you :)
Thank you for making this video bro. I know very little about carbeurters and this was a good source for info👍
The screw you're adjusting in this video is the high-speed jet. You can adjust it as you have shown, or a much more conventional method can be used, which is: 1. Start the engine, allow to warm to operating temp. 2. Pull throttle to high speed and hold, adjust the high-speed jet screw in/out to obtain the highest speed with as little vibration as possible. (That's it for the high-speed jet.)
In 99% of cases the low speed jet never needs tampering with, and improper setting can cause several other bad conditions. However, if you're ABSOLUTELY SURE you must change the low-speed jet setting, for most carburetors the jet is on the top of the carburetor covered by a polymer cap. Remove the cap, start the engine and allow to run at idle (about 3000 rpm), then SLOWLY adjust the low speed jet in/out until the smoothest operation is reached at the highest speed. Then reset the idle speed setting for running at about 3000 rpm. Re-install the polymer cap.
Either of these adjustments can easily be performed in 30 seconds or less.
It's been my experience that the L and H jets have nothing to do with this issue! Usually there is a chunk of crap stuck in the inlet side screen. Or if it is a 4cycle engine it's got crap stuck in the main jet and requires you to remove the fuel bowl and poke the end of a small spring in the hole in the jet. 😉
Thanks. Good video, good info. You helped me fix my pole saw.
Hi l have a Makita EM2600L had very little use
It will start and run with choke tick over without but, will not rev up just cuts out l have cleaned the carb 3 times still won't run properly.
There are no mixture adjusting screws any ideas.
Cheers Andy
Just did a stihl fc?110 bush cutter with these symptoms so l took the carb appart assuming blockage not enough fuel. Did that twice to make sure l put carb back correctly...( pot is legal in Canada).
Felt rather frustated, checked a few more UTube vids, l started to hear the words " plugged spark arrestor" over+ over, sure enough that was the bulk of the problem. My early inspection will now include a look at the spark arrestor screen...
Enjoyed your video! Nice job! Thanks Perry
Excellent video - Thanks
Thanks, a a great clear explanation, worked for me.
Thank you you made me feel confident is solving my problem good job
I’m glad I helped :)
Awesome video, fixed mine in less than 5 minutes. Mine does not have regular screw heads, just a round stub with a notch in it. I used a flat head to turn it using the notch
Thank you saved the day 👌👌👌👌
🎉Noice!!!
About the single best video on this topic. Peace.
Your Tops
Thanks for your helpful content. I followed your recommendations however they didn't work, only to discover 2 things:
1. The Choke on my engine was incorrectly labelled i.e. in reverse
2. The throttle cable was too short causing it to flood on restart
Thanks again and I hope that this may also help others.
Is yours an SGS?
@@RSPYT No, mine is a no name Chinese brand but the engine looks identical.
Can’t wait for that husk Varna tune up, I have that. Problem.🤔😊
We have a spring out where the black little pipe goes on the side
Great strimmer music
Excellent, thanks 😊.
Did you do the video on the Husqvarna 128DL string Trimmer?
Very helpful! Thanks
Not sure if you’ve heard this before, but you look like golem from LOTR movies.. but with facial hair.. no disrespect meant .. I like the video, made a lot of sense..
Haha yeah he’s very famous so none taken
Good
How can i put a grass deflector on a castelgarden j92 ride on mower
Hi there i need help with my tanaka pro55 brush cutter
You should make video on pull cord replacement I got the cord can't get the box aport
Oh hmm ok I’ll see what I can do!
Good day i have a Murray M43x wead eater name off the carburetor walbro. The engine starts when the lever is up but when i but it down all the way the engine revs up can you help me?
Thanks so much my trimmer is working great thanks to your video cheers
You’re most welcome :)
@@RSPYT this is my first video I watched and subscribed👍👍
Thank you :)
Can you explain why my Henry 200 switch sparkes when I tern it on and off
So what im wondering is what would you check in order first to see what happened
Well put together vid mate learned alot. Essentially im a bit stuck with what the answer would be for myself and my 49cc small engine pulls nice, chugs well but doesnt fire and start up going to check the spark sleeve as it wasn’t the most secure. Plugs fine, has fuel and 2 stroke
Check the spark arrestor screen...must be clear of carbon.
I want to know why my stram 52cc is cutting off and wants to switch off when I realees the throttle(accelerate) and theirs still alot of fuel in?
I realize it's hard to diagnose a problem from afar but since you tried did your explanation solve the commentor's problem?
I have no idea lol
I've got and SGS 5 in 1 hardly used because its a pig to start. The main issue is that the compression is high and it kicks back whacking my knuckles. There is no problem with fuel flow. I decided to fit a new plug as it was black and sooty. It doesn't start easily on choke and I wondered if more air in would weaken the mix and reduce the compression. What do you think?
Hi thanks for feedback keep up the good work
Thanks :)
i have a surtec it looks just like this.am wondering if it's a good brand
That carpet is going to smell like bloody 2 stroke. Also I have a similar engine on my scooter lol.
if you are lucky like me and have the right brand carburetor. this info might help you
there should have the L screw on the top on the throttle cable part, probably covered by silicone cap or plastic just peel it off and find the L screw
Can you help me with mine?
Awesome video helped me lots with my rc car’s engine
Thanks m8
I have a Parkside strimmer, when I pulled the string to start it, it slapped back and broke off the red choke for regulating it. So, what to do with it now. ?
So the choke leaver is snapped off?
You can buy new leavers. But I’d be tempted to just try to stick something to the remaining bit. Is there anything left of it or is it completely gone?
I have a 26cc with no screw but same problems should I buy a new carb
Very informative video but I find the background, "music", distracting.
Great speaking voice and information! I would normally have a hard time understanding yall's accent (I'm from Alabama) but not you, your great!
Thanks Jeremy :)
ROLL TIDE! Jeremy!
Awesome 👏
Thanks for the video !!
Petrol ? Gasoline?
Thanks, yeah petrol is Gasoline. The full name is Petroleum Spirit.
In the USA it's referred to as gasoline, but most of the rest of the world calls it petrol.
Ty , this was great help
You’re welcome :)
Have a challenge extreme strimmer having trouble tuning machine bought a new carb as screws snapped on old one it's really struggling to run choke off half choke it revs but then bogs have the air mixture screw and since iv screwed the throttle screw out it will rin on choke if I go too far it cuts out if tried turning half a turn will rev on half choke but on run it's just boggy any ideas great vid new sub cheers
Yard Machine 3.5 hp tiller. Briggs&Stratton won’t run without choke. Bought roughly 20 years ago.
My choke has snapped, can't switch between run and cold start? Easy fix or not?
Yeah either glue a new handle on or move the choke butterfly on the carb yourself
Rusty, love your shirt that's funny shit!
I have a weed eater that leaks oil from the exhaust. What can I do to fix
Hi mate, bizarrely, mine won’t run with choke on. But when not on runs ok….but smells very rich. I have a ferrex. Is that normal to smell rich or is something sound wrong? Sorry if this is a little vague. Cheers
Ps great vid
If it runs well then I’d leave it alone, 2-strokes always smell rich lol
what if you dont have they screws
I have a very similar trimmer and it has on/off on the choke lever. Should the lever be in on(lower) position when startin the trimmer or in off(upper) position when starting it? I noticed the trimmer shuts down when I press the throttle while choke is in off position.
So does that mean off(upper position) means choke engaged and on(lower position) means choke disengaged?
My thoughts are off means choke disengaged and that trimmer should work when choke is in off position but it seems I am wrong with that.
I can get my Chinese made Strummer to start on choke but as soon as I so much touch the choke knob to put it to run the motor surges really high and dies out. Can't get it to start at all in the run position. It's is a barrel type cube carb with the idle screw in the center of the throttle knob and the high adjuster on the backside of the carb. Do help if I have been able to present my predicament clearly.
Hi, I have a similar problem. It starts easily with the choke and has a stable low speed run. Wen i open up the throttle it dies. I tried to adjust the screw and went trough every possible setting and it sill dies. I have the same engine that you shown in your video.
Change your 2 cycle oil
would help if i'd had the switch ON lol.
🤣
@@RSPYT thank you so much. you’ve saved me some money.
Glad to hear it :)
Mine was running great before winter. I put sta-Bil in plus ethanol treatment like I do every year. Never problem till now. I think jet may be gummed up ? Comments
Really I would be a nightmare but escaped because I am gonna dismantle carburetor but good infoche
or in my case, the choke lever says off when on and on when off!
Why do video editors think loud music is a plus?
I don’t know it’s annoying when it’s used as a bed if you ask me, you can’t heard the people talking lol
slighty off topic about choke,but i have an older model sgs strimmer and the problem im having is it will not run once warmed up.
ive tried adjusting the fuel mix cleaning filters and most other things and still cant get it to run.i have noticed one thing, and that is it smells very rich on the mixture no matter what i adjust on the screw.also it will run fine for a few seconds when i pull off the fuel feed but as soon as i reconnect the pipe it bogs down then stops.
any ideas because up untill this point it was a great little strimmer
I have a question, markings on the choke, I have N and C
No idea on that buddy sorry
so basically it should run on the 'run' position. i have a 4 stroke hawkvision. i had a hard a time wrapping my head around this untill i watched your video
Haha, crazy how it works ain’t it
Hi Kawasaki TG 34 not ideling...and heats up quickly and choke it dose not switch off on choke but runs when put on run....it runs and switch off
can you send me one of those t-shirts - love it
I have a four stroke 7hp and it will not start it just backfires ( it's a new motor ) it worked good once and now it's F$@ked any ideas what it may be? (i need help with this shit )
While I have the choke off, after getting the motor to start, it goes to choke on automatically. Lol, why my 2 stroke doing that? 🤣
I don't have any screw :( what can I do?
My strimmer is starting but cutting out, it runs for a few seconds by moving the choke up and down then dies out. Can anyone help? It's the same model in the video.
Could be a blockage in the fuel pipe ot carb, have you looked at that?
Engine runs only on chock and screw doesn't effect it in any way less it's fully in not matter how far out I go it's dying when chock clicked off and it's brand new
Mine only runs on choke and full throttle. I’ll see if this helps. Thanks!
Surprisingly it actually worked. It runs a little high on idle but I’m thinking the carburetor is dirty. But oh well. Thanks for the helpful video!
You’re welcome
@@Brandon_Jackson slide the throttle assembly further back toward the engine by 5-10mm
Great video really help me on my outboard now working fine . Would like to ask a questions Duse the exhaust do anything to the speeds of the engine..
Anyone got a Jomac strimmers with this issue?
What damage?
Why do you have to move lean screw if it’s never been messed with before.What causes rich/lean to get out of wack.
Air pressure can effect it, damp air if it’s a foggy day or something. Or if it’s a very dry hot day it’ll need Richening.
Or the quality of the petrol and oil you’re using can effect how it runs and starts
yummy chav
Great for breakfast 😄
Couldn’t make it thru the tutorial for laughing too much. It’s not the instructions or the accent...it’s the t-shirt
Like that theme song
hey man I like your Music and your straight to the point of my question so I subscribed to your channel. I like that accent as well sort of sound like the GEICO green lizard on their commercials. One more thing you do need to tell all us rookies which one is the low screw? Fred
my machine can not start .it is a new machine .what can be the problem .it 62 cc
I'm afraid there can be many problems, can you tell us more info please?
The "twisty-turny" thing didn't help me (or my engine). I did some ethnic engineering by putting a screw in the little shelf above the choke lever to restrict it from opening completely. Works well now. BTW, the choke lever works in the opposite direction on my engine.
I haven't given up yet, next step will be to take the carb apart and verify there are no restrictions in the main circuit.
Please help I bought a brand new brush cutter 52cc 2stroke and I fiddled the whole day with the air fuel butterfly valve screw and as I put the choke off the engine dies? What else can I do I even added more oil (as it's never ran before)
If you bought it new then it shouldn’t need any adjustment. You can try setting the screw back, if you adjusted the butterfly then that’s the Tickover screw. You can start it up and turn that screw in until it stays running :)
@@RSPYT okay thank you sir I managed to find the L and H screw and got the air fuel mixture just right praise God everything is running well I started a mini Removal and garden service business 🙏🏻
I have a question please, when I put the choke on to start from cold should the port behind the air filter be closed off or open?
I have a sgs strimmer as in your video which starts ok but will not run when I turn the choke to the off position which closes the port off.
You are putting the choke on instead of off by the sounds of it.,
@@RSPYT i thought so which means it left the factory with the choke on/off markings the wrong way round.
Many thanks for your help
Is it normal for a trimmer to start with the choke on..? Mine says to pull the string a few times with the choke on, then remove the choke and pull the string again, but mine starts running as soon as I start pulling the string with the choke on.
It also starts at full throttle, I have to press the throttle a bit and then the revs drop to idle.
Yeah that's alright, usually you use the choke to start an engine, it's only really some small engines that are a bit fussy lol.
Mine was having to much I believe ragarding to this video --thanks by the way :) ...But it also dies after a while if I am not push the gas button
Turn the tick over speed up a gnats cock.
Hi what the fuel mix for this
I think they say 40:1 but I use 25:1
What if you have a strimmer with the weird adjustment thing is the any way of bypassing it?
What weird ajustment thing are you talking about?
It on like a mcCulloch tm210
You can get a set of carburetor adjustment tools online for around $20
Hi, My strimmer is the HYBC5200x with a pull choke, the manual does not say how to turn the choke off just says to the off position . no off possition is marked on it, anyone got any idea as i dont want to force it :)
Off will be the opposite to on, so if on is out then in is off :)
Some turn off automatically when you press the throttle.
excellent video. thanks
Cut the background music out man jeeesus
Tell me about it!
Too damn right , , horrible
Awful stuff 🤦🏻♂️
