How To Clean a Clogged Carburetor on a 2 Cycle/2 Stroke Engine (Weed Eater, Chainsaw, Blower, etc.)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ค. 2020
- In this video I will walk you thru the step by step process of how to diagnose, disassemble, clean and reassemble a 2 cycle engine carburetor. This is the most common reason 2-stroke engines stop running. You would use this same process in rebuilding your carburetor... just replace the parts shown in this video that come in the kit for your carburetor. Many homeowners throw good equipment away because of a clogged carburetor when it is a simple fix.
Today's fuel quality is poor and if left in the carburetor over a period of time it will eventually clog the small ports in the 2 cycle carburetor.
Go with me through this step by step carburetor cleaning process and you will be on your way to using your weed trimmer, blower, hedge trimmer, chainsaw and other equipment, in not time!

This guy definitely one of the many best breaking it down and actually showing you what to do while warning you in all aspects , and most of all demonstrating his work work , he's a leader and teacher for sure .
I love seeing how other people work on carbs, it's great to see someone be thorough and not take any shortcuts.
Thanks
@@helpinguonline gotta appreciate someone taking time to do it right 🤣
😊
Wow, useful productions like this make a mockery of professional TV sitcom productions where nothing useful happens. YOU rock!
These problems all started when they put ethanol in the gas
Sure, but more so the oil getting goopy
I started simple. Unscrewed the two screws holding the primer bulb without disconnecting the gas lines. Lifted up and took a q-tip to absorb excess gas sitting on the filter screen which was quite dirty. That q-tip removed 99% of the dirt particles then took compressed air and blew the rest clean. Screwed it back on,cleaned the air filter and it runs like new. Gotta love TH-cam
Yes, good tip as that screen was a trouble spot for my Craftsman
Finally a clear and easy to understand video explaining step by step with good audio and visual! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I know you may not see this comment, but I want to thank you Sir, from the bottom of my heart, for your in depth walk-through. I almost gave up on my trimmer. Thank you, again.
You are welcome… Thank you for the visit
Thank you for the video, because of you I now have a great running Weed Eater, The needle valve and spring are tricky, but I held it just like you did, and it went in just fine.
Glad to hear that!
Thank you for making such a clean clear video on how to do this and not over talking you just talked about everything that needed to be done and you use such a nice voice to do it so appreciative as a single woman fixing her own tools I am very grateful
Thanks
As a mechanical ol' gal, was rastling with neighbors MityLite 26 that would not start. Was about to send for a new carb. You may have solved its issues in this video. Well done! Keeping the vid in my small engine 'collection for future needs and will check out your other videos. Big thanks!!!
Wow you are hands-down the most thorough easily understood tutorial instructor I have ever witnessed I'm 58 years old and this is absolutely wonderful thank you
Glad it was helpful! and thanks for your feedback
That diagnosis was very neatly done. You know small engines thoroughly.
Check your gas caps too. If you think you have a poor fuel flow, try loosening the gas caps halfway and see if that helps them run better before you dig into the carb. There can be a vacuum in the gas tank if the cap vent is clogged. Sometimes cleaning or replacing a gas cap can actually be the culprit on this stuff.
That’s definitely one a lot might not think of good to know
Can you clean the gas cap if it's clogged?
Wow! That worked! I had changed my fuel lines (they disintegrated) and filter. Then I blew air through the fuel line in to the carb, and air came out the return with no issues. The auger would run for a few seconds on starting fluid and then quit. I knew it had to be a fuel flow problem, but the fact that air went into one line and out the other so easily was confusing. I read your post and went out and loosened the cap (it was on tight) and a few pulls later.... off and running. Thank you so much for posting about the cap.
Excellent. Detailed, held my interest and simple to follow.
Thanks from Ontario Canada.
Glad it was helpful!
thisll help greatly during tomorrows c1u-m35a overhaul. mcculloch backpack blower stuck in half choke. appreciate the concise video!!
Just fixed my leaf blower thanks to you! Awesome video!
Way to go!...and Glad it helped!
Thanks great easy to follow guide on the disassemble, trouble shooting & reassemble. I showed this to the guy I work for p/t because his weed trimmer broke with the same issues. But he went to a pawn shop and bought another one with the same issue of no continuous gas flow thru the carb, so back to the pawn shop it went for a refund & it looks like I’ll be doing the repair work.
Amazing - never stripped a carburetor before. Followed the instructions, worked first time. Thanks for such a helpful video.
Way to go and glad I could help
Usefull info on the needle valve, thanks.
I was able to change out the carburetor on a Troy-bilt TB 21EC weed whacker, all because of your video. Thanks for the great information. It's appreciated! Now I'm going to have a go at pulling the old carb apart to clean it, so I have a back up.
Glad to hear!
This is a great video. I have been online for a bit and most people say "I just bought a new carb..." or they suggest taking it to a service shop after only checking the plug gap and drain the fuel rather than actually clean our the carb. Thank you for showing the entire process as well as mentioned to just replace the fuel line!!
Glad it was helpful!...and thanks for the feedback
This is a lost "art". Throw away culture says toss it. So many times I have been given free "trash" simply to spend 15 minutes fixing.
I have every intent 2 drop mine off at Home Depot 4 repair.But-----U made this so detailed I'm trying 2 control myself from attempting it.
Just do it. Take photos before each piece you remove if you're new to working on it. It will show you how to put it back. Easy peasy
Excellent how to video.
This vid gives me some good tips to tackle my leaf blower. I haven't used it in over a year and now it won't start.
👍👍
You tackle your lawn equipment? Weird flex
Very informative no wasted bs or loud music to interfere Thank you
Great camera work, deserve an Oscar. Amazing detail, will try to fix mine tomorrow.
Thanks... Hope your project goes well
Excellent to the point,detailed video, thank you for sharing, massive help
Nice instructional video sir, I have my weed eater in my garage waiting for me to fix it. Thank you
Nice though carb clean I am going to try myself thanks
thanks for this vid! my 5-year 2-cycle yardworks trimmer has hard start even with fresh fuel. So I detailed clean its carburetor and it's back to golden!
Way to go!
Great video!! Retired from J D after 15 years..Gold wrench from Stihl..,cheaper to buy a carb than clean in the retail world!! Time is valuable and a carb is cheap! Rebuilt and cleaned 100.s..maybe 70 % functioned after wasting 45 minutes rebuilding using an ultra sonic cleaner!! Hard as hell to get those passages clean..! Carry on my friend! There are still a few true craftsmen out there that can get it done..knot heads such as us will make it happen!!
I was just about to give up working on mine (Not mechanically inclined). But really appreciate you posting this. This helped alot. Thanks for the video.
Glad to hear that!
Word to the wise, if you're going to go thru all this, replace that diaphragm with a new one-just because it's not ripped, doesn't mean it's not stiff and non-operational from that 10% ethanol gas that we all make the mistake of running thru these machines! Find some no-booze gas and it will be pliable for a long time! Found this out the hard way! Rebuild Kits with that diaphragm are only 10-$15
Other than nasty fuel, 99% of the time that's what's wrong with small engines, the diaphragm
Good video.
I will try to fix my ice auger. Thank alot.
Very helpful - thank you for taking the time to make this video - best regards from England!
You're very welcome!
That was how all DIY videos should be produced, including the Strat. G'day and thanks from Australia.
Thanks
Thanks to you and your video I just fixed my Redmax and is running like a champ 💪🏾💪🏾Keep doing the good job my man. Sheers and blessings from Puerto Rico 🙏🏽🇵🇷❤🙏🏽
Glad I could help... and good to hear from you in Puerto Rico
Going to try that tomorrow THANK YOU!!
Bro, you saved me! I followed your instructions and everything worked perfectly, it fired right up. When I adjusted the carburetor it ran like a champ! Thanks!👍
Great to hear!
Just a hearty thanks - superb detail helped me clean up a 6 year old Craftsman Weedwacker carb and fuel system. I love that Weedwacker as the design is not made any more - quiet and delicate XO Extra Quiet design. Your detail allowed me to fully cover the carb and fuel system - the screen was an obvious issue as was the fuel inlet that you covered. Runs better than new now - a very happy ending...Much appreciated - Take Care
Glad it helped and way to go!
Excellent. Thanks for posting this video.
My pleasure! Glad I could help you
Great video! I followed your direction and fixed my leaf blower. Thanks
Way to go
Thanks for tremendous camera shots and detailed comments about what you were doing along with things to be careful with. This is superb video for people like me who haven't a clue about how to go about fixing something like this. I will subscribe and look forward to any of your videos that are applicable to my situation. Jesus bless!
Glad it was helpful! God Bless you!
Yes save $$$ diy ( do it your self(
Thanks for that timely information, I will try to fix the issues I am having with my trimmer.
Glad to help… And make sure the diaphragm that operates the needle valve is flexible and rubbery and not hard. If it is stiff it will have to be changed for the needle to open and close properly
Thank you so much for this video recently bought a homelite weed eater on marketplace for 30$ and was running fine the other day and today it wasn’t want to start cleaned out the entire carb and fuel system including lines after a couple of primes and pulls she started right up thank u for your knowledge and god bless you 👍🙏
God bless you too!
Thank you very much. I had no idea how to clean the carburator properly and that you could check if it was clogged.
Well explained good job!!!
Very good instructional video. Thank you.
Helping people improve their tools was what TH-cam was all about not these other videos where they annoy people to make a video
this video helped alot, im finally getting fuel to the carb
thank you such comprehensive material, love from South Africa, in the city of Pietermaritzburg.
thanks for your visit!
Exactly the video I needed! Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
I've used the cheap rebuild kits they work great and I've also replaced the carb with a cheap chinese knock off. That worked great too.
Congratulations.
Probably the best video on the subject.
Before succeeding to repair finally my ALPINA 34 grass trimmer yesterday, and after buying the spare parts required I watched more than 10 videos on the subject and this is the most informative.
I will now watch the video for the adjustment of the MIN and MAX.
Thank you.
Glad I could help you... and thanks for the feedback
thanks much....very clear...explained step by step... ..well done
You are welcome and glad I could help you!
Great video. Well explained. Thanks I will working on mine as a covid19 project.

Excellent video, thank you very much! I shall do it myself now.
Not too hard to do and this fixes most fuel problems from those little carbs and poor gas
This is a super thorough and well made video. Super helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the feedback
Very good in total.
Amazing clear explanation, thank you Sir. Love your shoes by the way 😅

Nice job there , I've always being cautious taking those carby's apart, this helps, thank you.
Glad to help
Thank you for the detailed video - I was having a similar problem I replaced the gas line but after 30 min - it shut down. I took apart the carburetor - I did find debris in the filter after cleaning it and now it starts right up!
Way to go!

Thanks. Exactly what was wrong with my craftsman ws 210 weed trimmer.
Great to hear!
Watch the eyes when using carb cleaner, it will shoot back at you through the ports, I learned the hard way cleaning my boat motor carbs
yep it will shoot back at you
And dont spray carb cleaner into the carb's internal check valves. They will soon stop working due to deterioriation from the carb cleaner.
Thanks for your informed video.
Glad it was helpful!
