This might be the single best TH-cam demonstration video I have ever seen! All I can say is wow, you have really knock this one out of the park! Major props on designing and fabricating that demo carb! The time and thought you put into the model is absolutely astounding! Bravo sir, bravo!!!
I am nearly 70 and it has taken me until your unbelievable video to understand the "simple" 2 stroke carb! your printed model just blew me away! Thanks for the incredible amount of time and effort you have put into this Jay, I am forever grateful.
Unbelievable. Just absolutely mind boggling the way that you built that full-size model. I’ve been tinkering with these carburetors for about 30 years not really knowing what the hell I was looking at but now I completely understand them inside and out thanks to you. I’ve watched this video about four or five times. Absolutely amazing.
One can not watch this video and not leave a comment. The sheer amount of effort and detail that went into this project is amazing. This is the best video on the internet to explain the workings of a two stroke carburetor. Well done to the creator of this props and video. This should end up somewhere on a site where they teach the basics of petrol engines. Yet again well done!
This is hands down a most awesome video. The time and attention to detail is astounding. These carbs are so small, and so difficult sometimes to understand what is going wrong, but now the mystery is so clearly explained. This video should be a requirement for any one working on small engines. Thank you sir.
Walbro should adopt this video as their main (and only) tutoring source to educate their engineers. I am a retired computer engineering prof from a local university, and I can vouch that this is an amazing piece of work done by Mr. Gould. I searched in the internet to get a good understanding how a Walbro carb worked because I wanted to learn about RC gas engines, but couldn't find anything substantial, just bits and pieces of info published by people who didn't know the entire mechanism. Finally, I started examining Walbro diagrams on Walbro website, trying to figure out the exact mechanism. I found out most of these diagrams were sketched for people who were already very familiar to Walbro carb, but didn't make too much sense to me (or novices that don't know too much about carbs). I am glad I stumbled across this video. Thank you again.
Awesome! This is the best teaching video on you tube. Straight to the point with no unnecessary ''Fluff' and no beating around the bush. No distracting background music. Appreciate all the work in 3D printing the parts. YOU TUBE, are you listening or seeing this? -GIVE THIS GUY AN AWARD.
I must watch this a few more times to let it sink in fully. All my life I have been almost blindly opening up carburetors and trying to get then functioning again. Sometimes with good results and sometimes with failure. I'm 62 now, pity I didn't know all this when I was 22. But however I have a walbro fueled chainsaw that dies out when accelerated and perhaps I can put this information to good use tomorrow. Thank you very much for this most informing tutorial !!
This has to be the absolute best explanation I've ever seen. If I had been able to watch this 25 yrs. ago it probably would have saved me a lot of head scratching as I learned this on my own. Thanks for sharing. Love the large scale printed carb.
I'm late to the party but this literally was one of the best explanations I've ever seen. I can't believe you took the time to make that huge 3d printed model. It's all amazing work!
This should be the gold standard for any You Tube instructional / tutorial video. You have done a great job explaining in very clear terms and your 3d prop is an absolute work of art. Thank you for sharing this video.
There are tons of TH-cam videos about how a two stroke carburetor works, but this is by far the best one. That upscaled model is a great help to understand the principles . Thanks a lot !!
Can you imagine having the knowledge, curiosity, tools, skill, and eloquence to be able to complete a video like this? I’m blown away and if this creator hasn’t already been snapped up by a major hardware company I’d be very surprised.
The final montage of photos was the cherry on top. This video should be put into the Library of Congress. This is a national treasure of a video. Subscribed!!!
As a former Auto Tech instructor at the college level, That was amazing.Not only did you answer every question I had, I learned more. You also kept my attention going to gain more knowledge. I loved the props you used. Well done sir.
Absolutely fantastic tutorial and 3D printed models! I'm Technical Director of a company that manufactures 3D printers and the time and effort put into Jay's 3D models is enormous, hours and hours of work needed to design and produce these models. Jay, you're a credit to engineers everywhere and your tutorial is 5* Thank you! PS. I repaired my chainsaw because of your detailed explanation of the debris gauze at 6:42 on the tutorial - mine was so blocked up that I thought it was a 'plug' and not a 'gauze' which it proved to be after closer inspection and cleaning !!
A phenomenal lesson in chainsaw and weed eater carburettor principle and practice. Your models and props are better than anything I have ever seen before as teaching aids and your knowledge and calm systematic explanation is easily understandable. The preparation invested in this short class is mindblowing. Thank you so much, if I had received tuition of this quality at school it may well have changed my life.
I just HAVE to comment again! I knew virtually nothing about my gas string trimmer until I watched your video. Now I feel that deep dirty carburetor secrets have all been revealed. I understand what makes it tick!!! Thank you so much!
Best teaching video I've ever seen on any level and I've been doing this for over 30 years kudos To this guy you can't ask for anything better than this you can't even pay for classes this good
I cannot appreciate enough the effort you have taken to explain the operation of 2 stroke carburettor. Amazing work. This is a 'gold standard' training video.
this is by far the best explanation on how these little carburetors work. I was aware they had an integrated fuel pump but didn't know it all happens on one side. Excellent 3d printed model too!!!
Hands down , no competition, the best video demo on 2 stroke carburador. This fellow deserves the Smithsonian Award for Ingenuity? Deemed “the Golden Globes of Intellect,” the American Ingenuity Awards honor individuals across nine wide-ranging categories: Education, History, Life Sciences, Performing Arts, Physical Sciences, Social Progress, Technology, Visual Arts and Youth. And this gentleman for sure deserves one. 🖒🖒🖒
I've had a general understanding of and worked on small engines/carbs my entire life but have never seen such a comprehensive explanation and so efficiently done. This was flawless. Nice work 👍
You put my faith back in TH-cam training videos. Awesome detail. Your explaination of the fuel delivery solved a lot of mysteries. Also, don't forget the other 2 holes under the welch plug for the low speed side are progression ports. They bridge the gap between the low speed (idle) and high speed. Thank you for an outstanding job. Cheers
All I can do is to agree with all the other comments. This is a fantastic tutorial. The large scale demo is a work of art in its own right and the crystal clear explanation you provided with it makes this video one of (if not the) best I have ever viewed. Thank you and well done.
This is without a doubt the best TH-cam video on how anything works that I've ever seen! The 3D Printed models are amazing and they (plus your excellent and easy to follow narration) make it easy to understand exactly how these carburetors work. Thank you for all the time, effort, and skill you put in to making this amazing video! I am now subscribed.
I didn't expect this level of clarity and professionalism. English is my second language but I designed closed to 100 machinery, machine tools, injection molding machines and tooling and wrote most manuals for them and I did not even reached 75% of quality job as you did here.
The Gas remote control , cars, planes , helicopters and boat enthusiasts would be astounded to know this much knowledge and they could completely appreciate the detail of skill your work and explanation efforts you have gone too. Thank you and God bless your talents you share. Wow...
You are a legend and deserve a medal. Thank you for the time you put into this. When you pulled out your printed model I was floored at the level of detail and construction. Thanks to you I now have a better understanding of this highly complex part.
Wow. THIS is the best video explaining the operation on theses types of carburetors that i have yet to come across. Those large models make it so much easier to grasp the concepts and makes it possible to very easily visualize whats taking place and what could possibly foul the system
More people need to see this video. Your illustration is wonderful!! The model you made must’ve taken a very long time to make but was well worth it!! I hope there are other videos with different types of carburetors on your channel. I believe you have explained this very well. Thank you
Thank you Jay for all the time and effort you put into this amazing video. I am 67 and have been tinkering with these carbs for a while now and could never understand how they worked, until I found this video!! Thank you so much again!
Absolutely fascinating and the best explanation i have ever seen. I guess that regular replacement of diafragm is a big part keeping these carbs in tip top running condition
I totally agree with "The Lawnmower Lady" and "David Mansfield". Your desire to educate others on something that is very hard to find information on is astounding, and your attention to detail and accuracy is almost beyond belief. I want to thank you for your efforts. I plan on using 2-cycle carburetors on 4 cycle engines, because the 2-cycle carbs can be set up as down-draft instead of the normal side-draft, allowing a longer intake manifold for added fuel mixture velocity. I was concerned with how to operate the pulse fuel pump, and to complicate matters, I confused the fuel metering diaphragm as the fuel pump. I plan to use a stainless steel tube inserted into the exhaust manifold so that the high velocity exhaust gas will create a vacuum in the SS tube which will go the the fuel pump pulse tube/entrance and pull the diaphragm against a spring to complete the push-pull action. After seeing this video, I now know that I can do it. Thanks again!
I am a two year newbie to carbs and engines , learning as I go . This one video has consolidated and improved my knowledge immensely I am now confident enough to say that two stroke carbs are no longer a mystery . this video with the brilliant printed model is the best engineering tutorial `I have ever watched , thankyou Sir.
Amazing job on everything in this video. Your explanation is clear and understandable, and the 3d model with the different view points was incredibly helpful. Thanks for putting in the effort to make this; it feels awesome to really know what I'm looking at
These are "Demand Regulator" carburetors. They are not necessarily specific to 2-cycle engines. Tecumseh made tens of thousands of four cycle engines equipped with them. The 1958 Brown carburetor was the first of this type. The literature on them mentioned that they were a simplified Bendix RSA aircraft pressure carburetor. In 1960 Tillotson bought the rights to the design. In about 1968 Walbro began manufacturing these "diaphragm" (as opposed to "float type") carburetors - and they worked really well. One reason they worked so well was that they incorporated a "main fuel discharge check valve" to prevent air being sucked in the main discharge when idling. For years nobody minded air being sucked in the IDLE discharge when the main was pulling high suction. Later Walbro and others (many if not most carbs used on Stihl) incorporated idle discharge check valves as well. (To my knowledge no idle check valves were intended to disassembled and repaired) A big problem with these carbs is the diaphragms become stiff and "oil can" in and out taking a set first one way and then the other. Walbro now has kits to retrofit clear diaphragms guaranteed to never stiffen (but they must be used with a matching super thin spring steel flat spring - it comes in the kit) Hardly any mechanics know that you should know how to check the piston rings, cylinder base gasket, crankshaft seals and even the reeds/piston skirt valves for air leakage if your initial disassembly and renewal of gaskets and diaphragms does not yield good running. It's like this kids: 1) Compression (which includes crankcase compression!) 2) Ignition - which includes spark plug. 3) Then if you have an engine with a dry carb in place that also EAGERLY burns it's prime - You can get it wound up and un-pinch the fuel line and see if you can get the carb to take over from the hand (squirt bottle) priming that you are doing. YOU ARE WELCOME
Honestly this video left me speechless..where has this been all my life!? You did an absolutely amazing job articulating every detail and making it so easy to understand... Thank you for making this impeccable video!
I knew bits and pieces of how it works, BUT this explanation and the cutaway model, your detailed explanation cleared up a lot of grey areas I had for years. I'm angry that I've spent so much time in years past watching videos without the detail that you presented. This video should be the number 1 search result on YT. Thank you for your efforts and what a fantastic model you made for this!
By far the best demonstration of how a 2 stroke carburetor works you put a lot of time and dedication into that thank you sir. This should help understand these buggers.
Wow! You are a 3d printing legend!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make such a detailed video. I really appreciate the time and effort spent making this demo. Thank you!
I’ve been trying to better understand carburetors in the application of rc boats and this is the greatest video of all time explaining carbs. Thank you.
This is the best video I have ever seen about the demonstration of working of a carb. It is so very well explained. And the time and effort you have put in to 3D print the model and its corss sections just blew my mind. I am really very thankful and appreciate your time and effor that you have put into this single video. Simply fantastic !!! Thank you !!
Amazing detailed explanation of the functioning of this carburetor. The 3D printed model that Gould printed out is totally accurate in its representation. Thank you for this great description!
I just want to say this is the best educational videos I've ever seen on TH-cam and I watched a lot of them. I don't normally leave comments but I could only imagine how much time you put into making up that mock-up carburetor and video editing for making this video. With out a doubt Great Job give yourself a pat on the back.
Excellent Teacher. Plain, articulate, zero “filler words.” As for the demonstrative you’ve created? It’s hands-down beautiful. Seriously well done Sir. Your passion is contagious and inspiring.
You really put a lot of time into this! Thank you so very much for the demonstration. That was very helpful! Incredible job! This was by far one of the best TH-cam videos I’ve ever seen! Amazing!
I have never understood carburetors and my work on 4 cycle carbs has kept me away from the smaller ones. This video shows me I shouldn't have parts left over with 2 cycle carbs and your explanation really explains how they work in an understandable manner. Thank you so much. Now for your model. The amount of work to produce it seems fantastic. It really helps with your explanation. The time spent producing it was worth the work as it is large enough for us to see what is happening. Thank you for your time and effort.
Dang Jay, This is just fascinating! I applaud you for your dedication and the 3-D version is spectacular. I'm working on just this type of carb right now. It is great to understand it more thoroughly. Thanks very much.
If this gentleman had been a teacher when I went to school, there is no doubt that I would have payed better attention. I had subscribed before he had the small carburator laid down on top of the 3d printed large one.. I thank you for this
Hi Jay, excellent work, thank you! Would you be willing to make your 3d model files available for others to print their own? These would be great training aids for my wildland firefighters.
Thank you. I've been stripping these down for a couple of years on my garden equipment and just cleaning them the usual way and blasting through the holes with carb cleaner and compressed air and fitting new consumables, then most of them work , but now I've got a difficult one to fix where that's not worked and after watching this, I know where the problem is likely to be. This weekend, I'll be out there taking a closer look in the affected area. Update after a bit of time on the healing bench, its fixed !! The idle jet passages had a partial blockage
Outstanding video! The carburetor model you printed is so detailed and visually makes your explanations so clear. Thanks for going above and beyond to educate me and others.
This is the coolest thing ever! I basically knew how a chainsaw carb works, but the fact that you made a giant model is so awesome! The cut away of the tuning screws is particularly interesting for me. Edited to add: EVERTHING is perfectly color coordinated too, even the shiny crome metering side cover!! I can't believe it.
this is a awesome video. The clearest description i have ever seen. I would recommend more people to review it. This also helps me to understand the fuel lines routing. thanks!
Fantastic explanation and awesome 3d printed model!! Those little carbs are quite complicated. Whoever figured all that out was pretty smart. Thanks for the video
This is absolute the best teacher of 2 stroke carburator detail's. Please let me know where i can donate. You deserve it. Thank you so much for all your effort to teach us🙏
Honestly, one of the greatest youtube videos I've ever seen. I've been working on small engines for years, learning everything I could, but I never truly understood the inner workings of a 2 stroke carb. This is amazing.
Now I understand how the pull start works as well! I consider myself an expert after watching just once. I’ll soon be a genius as I watch it again. If this guy was a teacher in any of my classes I could have really been somebody. We need to find people like him to fill our classrooms nationwide.
Wow. That’s the best explanation I’ve ever seen. What an awesome job you have done explaining the hole process. And an awesome job on the 3d enlarged models to explain the operation. You should get a gold medal for it. Extremely impressive. Thank You
Excellent work. I thank you for the effort. Beautifully presented and explained and the 3-D printed carburetor deserves honorable mention. You deserve an award of some type for that work.
Now this is how you teach people how things work, every detail covered and you speak at the perfect speed so we can understand what's going on. I have watched many videos on 2 stroke carbs and your video is the only one that explains every detail of how they work. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us. 😀👍
I have to give it to you. The time, preparation, and dedication for this video are unbelievably amazing- not to mention the 3-d printed model. Thank you for taking the time to perfectly construct this demonstrational video, sir.
Simply incredibly technical content…the level of detail in the magnified model and cross sections truly there comprehension of the integrated system for even well versed individuals. Thank you so much!
The details of this video are beyond any other videos I have seen. Thank you for the excellent explanation and efforts behind making the model. I tried to understand the workings of this carburetor by myself but it did not work. Great Job !!!
Durn! I've been rebuilding carbs for years and this is the best break down I have ever seen by far. It has given me a new understanding of things that can go wrong and how I might fix them. It also lets me see what I should expect to see when doing things like squirting carb cleaner in the various holes. Walbro carb are very common and the clones work just the same with minor variations. I owe you my thanks. Next time I lift a brew I'll toast you.
Sir, this is hands down the best explanation I have ever seen. I can only imagine the time you put into making the model. I love working on my own equipment. After watching this video, I finally understand what's happening. I thank you.
What an awesome video. I'm a 57 year old disabled vet trying to learn a new trade with 2 stroke engines such as weed eaters, chainsaws etc.. I've gotten my bronze through Stihl but have a ton to learn. I believe I could sit down with you and ask 100 questions. Thank you for sharing sir.
IMPRESSIVE in every way!!! In design, manufacturing and ESPECIALLY your 3D scaling of the whole carb, ports, springs, just EVERYTHING!!! This is beyond anything I have ever seen for recreation and detailed explanation of the workings of a two stroke Wabro carburetor! I can't imagine the time involved making this. I definitely gave a thumbs up and SUBSCRIBED! WELL DONE SIR!!!
Amazing giant model and perfect and beautiful explanation of how all the parts function, including all the drilled passages of the idle jet ports, especially the idle ones in the sidewall of the carb throat. The tiny idle drilled jets are usually the real troublemakers as they are subject to being easily clogged, causing stumbling and stalling when the engine is just coming off of idle. Bravo.
Excellent tutorial! These carburetors are far from easy if you first encounter them, even with knowledge from other system's. This video makes it a walk in the park with none too little questions left. Very nice enlarged model, top tier stuff !
Those enlarged 3-D printer models are brilliant. This is the first time I got any real understanding of how the tiny carburetors on 2-cycle garden equipment work. Lots of repair-tip videos out there, but nobody else takes the trouble to give the overview and explain the details of the fuel delivery cycle. For those who want to understand what's really going on inside these little marvels, watch this. Chinese factories may be able to turn them out today for $20 (I just bought two), but it took 150 years of creative thought and engineering to design and develop them. Appreciate that the next time you pull that starter cord.
This surely is the very best explanation of how a 2 stroke carburetor works and should be viewed and studied by all of the small engine mechanics and buffs. BRILLIANT SIR!
This might be the single best TH-cam demonstration video I have ever seen! All I can say is wow, you have really knock this one out of the park! Major props on designing and fabricating that demo carb! The time and thought you put into the model is absolutely astounding! Bravo sir, bravo!!!
I instantly subscribed as soon as he pulled out the 3d printede model 😀
Amazing great detail thank you sir !
I'm saying... He definitely knows his business
Really great video. Thank you!
Great! Great job indeed👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
That is the coolest 3D print I've ever seen!
MAN! You deserve the Nobel prize award. This tutorial should be shown in all mechanical schools worldwide. Very well done.
This guy deserves one of those film awards they give out in Hollywood.

Dude this deserves like, national recognition. This needs to be used in any educational setting for mechanics. Best video hands down
This is hands down a most awesome video. The time and attention to detail is astounding. These carbs are so small, and so difficult sometimes to understand what is going wrong, but now the mystery is so clearly explained. This video should be a requirement for any one working on small engines. Thank you sir.
Thank you! Many, many hours spent with precision measuring equipment and a microscope to get each part exact.
A agree with Stella and Kenny. This is an awesome explanation. Thank you for your excellent content
I agree 100%
agreed

I was concerned with how to operate the pulse fuel pump, and to complicate matters, I confused the fuel metering diaphragm as the fuel pump. I plan to use a stainless steel tube inserted into the exhaust manifold so that the high velocity exhaust gas will create a vacuum in the SS tube which will go the the fuel pump pulse tube/entrance and pull the diaphragm against a spring to complete the push-pull action. After seeing this video, I now know that I can do it. Thanks again!
I am a two year newbie to carbs and engines , learning as I go . This one video has consolidated and improved my knowledge immensely I am now confident enough to say that two stroke carbs are no longer a mystery . this video with the brilliant printed model is the best engineering tutorial `I have ever watched , thankyou Sir.
Amazing job on everything in this video. Your explanation is clear and understandable, and the 3d model with the different view points was incredibly helpful. Thanks for putting in the effort to make this; it feels awesome to really know what I'm looking at
These are "Demand Regulator" carburetors. They are not necessarily specific to 2-cycle engines. Tecumseh made tens of thousands of four cycle engines equipped with them.
The 1958 Brown carburetor was the first of this type. The literature on them mentioned that they were a simplified Bendix RSA aircraft pressure carburetor. In 1960 Tillotson bought the rights to the design. In about 1968 Walbro began manufacturing these "diaphragm" (as opposed to "float type") carburetors - and they worked really well.
One reason they worked so well was that they incorporated a "main fuel discharge check valve" to prevent air being sucked in the main discharge when idling. For years nobody minded air being sucked in the IDLE discharge when the main was pulling high suction. Later Walbro and others (many if not most carbs used on Stihl) incorporated idle discharge check valves as well. (To my knowledge no idle check valves were intended to disassembled and repaired)
A big problem with these carbs is the diaphragms become stiff and "oil can" in and out taking a set first one way and then the other. Walbro now has kits to retrofit clear diaphragms guaranteed to never stiffen (but they must be used with a matching super thin spring steel flat spring - it comes in the kit)
Hardly any mechanics know that you should know how to check the piston rings, cylinder base gasket, crankshaft seals and even the reeds/piston skirt valves for air leakage if your initial disassembly and renewal of gaskets and diaphragms does not yield good running.
It's like this kids: 1) Compression (which includes crankcase compression!) 2) Ignition - which includes spark plug. 3) Then if you have an engine with a dry carb in place that also EAGERLY burns it's prime - You can get it wound up and un-pinch the fuel line and see if you can get the carb to take over from the hand (squirt bottle) priming that you are doing.
YOU ARE WELCOME
Honestly this video left me speechless..where has this been all my life!? You did an absolutely amazing job articulating every detail and making it so easy to understand... Thank you for making this impeccable video!
I knew bits and pieces of how it works, BUT this explanation and the cutaway model, your detailed explanation cleared up a lot of grey areas I had for years. I'm angry that I've spent so much time in years past watching videos without the detail that you presented. This video should be the number 1 search result on YT. Thank you for your efforts and what a fantastic model you made for this!
By far the best demonstration of how a 2 stroke carburetor works you put a lot of time and dedication into that thank you sir. This should help understand these buggers.
Best TH-cam explanation video ever. Making something I thought was so complicated, simple. Thank you.
Wow! You are a 3d printing legend!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make such a detailed video. I really appreciate the time and effort spent making this demo. Thank you!
I’ve been trying to better understand carburetors in the application of rc boats and this is the greatest video of all time explaining carbs. Thank you.
This is the best video I have ever seen about the demonstration of working of a carb. It is so very well explained. And the time and effort you have put in to 3D print the model and its corss sections just blew my mind. I am really very thankful and appreciate your time and effor that you have put into this single video.
Simply fantastic !!! Thank you !!
Amazing detailed explanation of the functioning of this carburetor. The 3D printed model that Gould printed out is totally accurate in its representation. Thank you for this great description!
I just want to say this is the best educational videos I've ever seen on TH-cam and I watched a lot of them. I don't normally leave comments but I could only imagine how much time you put into making up that mock-up carburetor and video editing for making this video. With out a doubt Great Job give yourself a pat on the back.
Excellent Teacher. Plain, articulate, zero “filler words.”
As for the demonstrative you’ve created?
It’s hands-down beautiful. Seriously well done Sir.
Your passion is contagious and inspiring.
Glad it was helpful!
You really put a lot of time into this! Thank you so very much for the demonstration. That was very helpful! Incredible job! This was by far one of the best TH-cam videos I’ve ever seen! Amazing!
I have never understood carburetors and my work on 4 cycle carbs has kept me away from the smaller ones. This video shows me I shouldn't have parts left over with 2 cycle carbs and your explanation really explains how they work in an understandable manner. Thank you so much. Now for your model. The amount of work to produce it seems fantastic. It really helps with your explanation. The time spent producing it was worth the work as it is large enough for us to see what is happening. Thank you for your time and effort.
Dang Jay, This is just fascinating! I applaud you for your dedication and the 3-D version is spectacular. I'm working on just this type of carb right now. It is great to understand it more thoroughly. Thanks very much.
Amazing explanation of a 2 stroke carburetor. The use of the large model with cutaways helped me tremendously understand how it works. Excellent job!
Good sir - bravo. You actually create value for the rest of us. Much appreciation for sharing your talents and time.
If this gentleman had been a teacher when I went to school, there is no doubt that I would have payed better attention. I had subscribed before he had the small carburator laid down on top of the 3d printed large one.. I thank you for this
Hi Jay, excellent work, thank you! Would you be willing to make your 3d model files available for others to print their own? These would be great training aids for my wildland firefighters.
Thank you. I've been stripping these down for a couple of years on my garden equipment and just cleaning them the usual way and blasting through the holes with carb cleaner and compressed air and fitting new consumables, then most of them work , but now I've got a difficult one to fix where that's not worked and after watching this, I know where the problem is likely to be. This weekend, I'll be out there taking a closer look in the affected area.
Update after a bit of time on the healing bench, its fixed !! The idle jet passages had a partial blockage
Outstanding video! The carburetor model you printed is so detailed and visually makes your explanations so clear. Thanks for going above and beyond to educate me and others.
This is outstanding. Never saw anyone explain something so well. You should win a TH-cam video of all time and be in their hall of fame. Thank you!!!
I think we need to vote you as the best you tube instructional video of the year,what else can you teach with your over grown visual aides
Incredible....TH-cam should give awards for instructional videos. You would win. Thank you.
This is the coolest thing ever! I basically knew how a chainsaw carb works, but the fact that you made a giant model is so awesome! The cut away of the tuning screws is particularly interesting for me.
Edited to add: EVERTHING is perfectly color coordinated too, even the shiny crome metering side cover!! I can't believe it.
I wish I had seen this earlier, it would have saved me from watching dozens of other videos. Best tutorial ever!!
this is a awesome video. The clearest description i have ever seen. I would recommend more people to review it. This also helps me to understand the fuel lines routing. thanks!
This is hands down the best most detailed explanation of how a two stroke carb works Excellent job.
Fantastic explanation and awesome 3d printed model!!
Those little carbs are quite complicated. Whoever figured all that out was pretty smart.
Thanks for the video
This is absolute the best teacher of 2 stroke carburator detail's. Please let me know where i can donate. You deserve it. Thank you so much for all your effort to teach us🙏
Honestly, one of the greatest youtube videos I've ever seen. I've been working on small engines for years, learning everything I could, but I never truly understood the inner workings of a 2 stroke carb. This is amazing.
Now I understand how the pull start works as well! I consider myself an expert after watching just once. I’ll soon be a genius as I watch it again. If this guy was a teacher in any of my classes I could have really been somebody. We need to find people like him to fill our classrooms nationwide.
Wow. That’s the best explanation I’ve ever seen. What an awesome job you have done explaining the hole process. And an awesome job on the 3d enlarged models to explain the operation. You should get a gold medal for it. Extremely impressive. Thank You
Massive respect for making the upscaled models!
Excellent work. I thank you for the effort. Beautifully presented and explained and the 3-D printed carburetor deserves honorable mention. You deserve an award of some type for that work.
Now this is how you teach people how things work, every detail covered and you speak at the perfect speed so we can understand what's going on. I have watched many videos on 2 stroke carbs and your video is the only one that explains every detail of how they work. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us. 😀👍
I have to give it to you. The time, preparation, and dedication for this video are unbelievably amazing- not to mention the 3-d printed model. Thank you for taking the time to perfectly construct this demonstrational video, sir.
Simply incredibly technical content…the level of detail in the magnified model and cross sections truly there comprehension of the integrated system for even well versed individuals. Thank you so much!
The best explanation on TH-cam.
The details of this video are beyond any other videos I have seen. Thank you for the excellent explanation and efforts behind making the model. I tried to understand the workings of this carburetor by myself but it did not work. Great Job !!!
The way you made the enlarged parts and cutaways is amazing. It really helps to understand the different parts and the way it works..
Your model making and understanding is unsurpassed
Durn! I've been rebuilding carbs for years and this is the best break down I have ever seen by far. It has given me a new understanding of things that can go wrong and how I might fix them. It also lets me see what I should expect to see when doing things like squirting carb cleaner in the various holes. Walbro carb are very common and the clones work just the same with minor variations. I owe you my thanks. Next time I lift a brew I'll toast you.
Sir, this is hands down the best explanation I have ever seen. I can only imagine the time you put into making the model. I love working on my own equipment. After watching this video, I finally understand what's happening. I thank you.
What an awesome video. I'm a 57 year old disabled vet trying to learn a new trade with 2 stroke engines such as weed eaters, chainsaws etc.. I've gotten my bronze through Stihl but have a ton to learn. I believe I could sit down with you and ask 100 questions. Thank you for sharing sir.
IMPRESSIVE in every way!!! In design, manufacturing and ESPECIALLY your 3D scaling of the whole carb, ports, springs, just EVERYTHING!!! This is beyond anything I have ever seen for recreation and detailed explanation of the workings of a two stroke Wabro carburetor! I can't imagine the time involved making this. I definitely gave a thumbs up and SUBSCRIBED! WELL DONE SIR!!!
Amazing giant model and perfect and beautiful explanation of how all the parts function, including all the drilled passages of the idle jet ports, especially the idle ones in the sidewall of the carb throat. The tiny idle drilled jets are usually the real troublemakers as they are subject to being easily clogged, causing stumbling and stalling when the engine is just coming off of idle. Bravo.
Excellent tutorial! These carburetors are far from easy if you first encounter them, even with knowledge from other system's. This video makes it a walk in the park with none too little questions left. Very nice enlarged model, top tier stuff !
Those enlarged 3-D printer models are brilliant. This is the first time I got any real understanding of how the tiny carburetors on 2-cycle garden equipment work. Lots of repair-tip videos out there, but nobody else takes the trouble to give the overview and explain the details of the fuel delivery cycle. For those who want to understand what's really going on inside these little marvels, watch this. Chinese factories may be able to turn them out today for $20 (I just bought two), but it took 150 years of creative thought and engineering to design and develop them. Appreciate that the next time you pull that starter cord.
This surely is the very best explanation of how a 2 stroke carburetor works and should be viewed and studied by all of the small engine mechanics and buffs. BRILLIANT SIR!
Fancy meeting you here. Cheers! 😘
