Did the slit trick. Worked like a charm. Wouldn’t have ever thought about that being the issue. Time will tell if carb needs to be replaced, but for now it fired up on third pull and ran well. Thanks for saving me time and money!
That's excellent! Wouldn't be a bad idea to order a new vent assembly as they're inexpensive on ebay. But since you're not flyin' it to the moon, the slit is probably perfectly fine. The one I did in this video went right back into commercial service, being abused daily, and it's been fine. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
The bottom half of fuel vent would not come out. What didn't you show yours coming out. I suspect I'll cut mine out also look for a replacement part. The video did help diagnose the problem and i thank you for that. I didn't think the carburetor had to come off either. Thanks for posting this video.
Bill there's a fine line between making the videos too long, and showing every nuance of the work done, so I have to make a judgement call on the content. As you saw with the disassembly process, I simply showed a quick "here's how it comes apart" vs. a much longer process of showing every step in more detail. I demonstrated, close up with the camera, how to remove the vent, and I explained what part of the vent I was leveraging against, and what part of the vent I was working to free up from the fuel tank. Seems pretty sufficient.
If you'll spray Kroil or PB Blaster in around that base, wiggle with a screwdriver like I show in the video, and allow that movement to get the penetrant to wick down in around that o-ring, you'll be able to leverage out the base, just as I show in the video, without damaging it, and without damaging the fuel tank. New OEM vents are available from many online sources if you don't have a local dealer. They're on ebay, all day long, for 16-20 dollars each, shipped.
I will now say that finally a power tool apart from cordless drills etc that a cordless blower will in fact do an excellent job and without any traditional maintenance. Bought my wife a Husqvarna Aspire Blower 18V Kit With 4.0Ah Battery and 2.5Ah Charger for AU$309.00 when our old faithful 2 stroke "heavy" and more complex "for my wife" to operate with confidence is absolutely fantastic. However this does not extend to saws or brushcutters of a traditional 45cc capacity. I have to confess that for real power and also long extended periods, the gas is still the way to go. Just my opinion. Cheers mate.
I completely agree. For the home owner, with occasional light/normal use, battery powered stuff from the top manufacturers is the best option. Gave my daughter and son-in-law the Makita 18v system last year: blower, and power head with string trimmer and articulating pole hedger. I also gave them a gasoline powered BillyGoat brand yard vac, which allows them/us, to do all the yard work and trimming, and then vac up the mess for a professional look when finished.
