- We got this and it wouldn't even try to start, turned out it needed nothing more than new fuel and a carb adjustment, here we show what a carb adjustment on a blower looks like

Straight forward. Concise. Well done. Thank you.
Thanks 😁
Good video Bill. Equipment like this blower are usually so easy to repair. It's too bad that many people consider them to be disposable. It's often just a minor fuel problem.
Right? This one didn't need any parts, just new fuel and little attention on the carb. Problem is not enough people know how, they need to watch my videos🤣
Excellent bill great tips and explanation. You make it look so see
Thanks! Once you know what the screws do, it's pretty easy.🙂
You the man. I've been messing with the carb for a few days now. A few minutes watching your video it runs great
Thanks! I try to do videos covering all of them, I love hearing people say I helped a little 🙂
@@GuysPlayingWithTools I used to call my father in law for everything like this. He passed away a few years ago. It just so happens his name was Bill as well 🙂. Thanks again.
@joshuasimeone3729 I am honored to help in his absence. I am(happily) the father in law everyone calls in my family. 👍
@GuysPlayingWithTools You're a true gentleman. Thanks again.
@@joshuasimeone3729 I try, thanks!
Tidy tune up and then it sounded great. Top video.
Thanks mate, she's a good one for sure
Good work. It's surprising how easy many of these things are to fix.
Thanks Ben. It really is easy, people either don't care or are afraid to touch the mechanicals
@@GuysPlayingWithTools Makes money for us though.
Too true. We joke that we are teaching people how to not give us anything to work on
@@GuysPlayingWithTools And many don't listen...
nice demo
Thanks, I do my best to take the mystery out things 👍
Nice job Bill, she's running strong now. 👍
Thanks. 🙂 I like not having to replace the carb every now and then.

Me too bud, I fixed a hedger today, carb was clogged up pretty good but after a good go through it runs great now.
@John Klem with your track record, you should have made a video. You would have 400 subs by lunch tomorrow. 🙂
🤣👍🏼🤣
Got mine fine tuned Thaanx!
Cool! That's my favorite kinda comment. 👍
Good stuff !
Thanks! It might save a few from an early end. 🙂
I just put 1 and 1 together. Hi neighbor! 🤣
Nice compact blower. Nice tune up Bill
Thanks Al. It was a good one for sure! I love it when I can buy it and have it running before breakfast 🙂
@@GuysPlayingWithTools that’s a great start to a day 😁
That's for the great video
Thanks. 🙂
Thanks
I am glad it helped
From he HIPA carbs I have bought, frequently 1 tool comes as part of the kit. I seem to have the common ones. The complete set is a future goal.
I am not a HIPA person, I am quick to replace 2 stroke carbs and I had a few failures with them. The whole set of 5 can be had pretty cheap on Amazon, well under $10. I think I paid $6 for mine.
@@GuysPlayingWithTools I have heard rumors that Santa is bringing me a full set. And a boroscope. And maybe some gloves. Hope they last longer than last years 2 day gloves.
@@haneyoakie14 Santa rocks at your house! Santa knows I like tools too but I think he might be out of ideas here. I use a cheap plumbing borescope(around $25) that has a slightly stiff wire arm, it makes it easy to coil and place it where you want it if you need both hands.
Good video Bill, easy fix, watched the replay of Big Sons live, your birthday is Sunday, mine is Monday.
We are both getting old as a team. It is way better than not getting old. As my family always tells me... Merry Birthday 🎅
@@GuysPlayingWithTools Same to you Bill, the way I look at it, born in 61, turning 61. Merry Birthday.
@@barryewalt3606 Me too 🤯
This works furnme.
Thanks buddy!
The thing is does the carb have to have the special carb adjustment tool set
Yeah, there is a special set of screw drivers. The whole set is $5 or $6 on Amazon. I usually use the spine and the pac man the most and the other 3 or 4 once every bite moon.
@@GuysPlayingWithTools okay thanks for the info on this video guy playing with tool's 👍🤣😎😂
@@robertmailhos8159 🤣
Good work bill, seems to run ok 🙂👍
@@menditman2004 thanks. It was a nice quick flip
I have a yardworks leaf blower and I swear it doesn’t have two screw on the card (high and low). Any advice?
What model is it?
@@GuysPlayingWithTools it’s the 27cc (discontinued) YW B2C or something sorry I just went and looked but forgot already 😭
@kingcountyband That's enough to get me started. Give me until morning to get back to my desk, and I will find the screws(or suggest a carb that will fit and has them) 👍
@@GuysPlayingWithTools Thank you! Everything was fine until I mixed new fuel, not sure if I put too little oil or too much it runs rough now though and when i pin the throttle it accelerates but then decelerates when fully pinned.
@kingcountyband I will dig around for the carb in the morning but in the mean time, put a new spark plug in and fill up your car's gas tank, then empty your 2 stroke tank into it, assuming it's a 1 gallon tank. I do it all the time in my Civic. Remix a new tank so you know it's right and give it a run. I am hoping you didn't go too light on the oil, that could be the end for the machine (too heavy is no big deal)
WHAT DID YOU SAY YOUR FUEL MIX WAS FOR THE BOLEN LEAF BLOWER, could you please show your mix ratio
Hi Deb, I run them at about 1/2 way between 40:1 and 50:1. I use 3oz per gallon for everything but the really old tools that call for 25:1
OH GREAT THANK YOU, I HAD ANOTHER youtuber SAY 30:1, CONFUSED BY OTHER WATCHING. VERY SIMPLE TO FOLLOW YOU !! THE THROTTLE/IDLE TURNS I SUPPOSE I AM SEEING YOU TURN FULL BACK COUNTER CLOCK, THE TUNE CLOCKWISE ??
@@GuysPlayingWithTools
THIS IS MY FIRST BOLEN, BOUGHT USED, USUALLY RUN HUSQUVARNAS, OR ECHOs
@@GuysPlayingWithTools
@@debfassbinder9283 30:1 is way too much oil, it would smoke like crazy. I wonder if they were messing with you?
If it is to the point where it starts, I go from there and adjust the L screw for idle, then the H screw until it revs correctly.
If it won't start, I turn them both in all the way(clockwise) then out 1 turn each and adjust the L screw until it starts and go from there. I appreciate you following me! 😁
@@debfassbinder9283 I like Husqvarna more than Bolen but for a cheap blower, they are good enough to handle just about anything a homeowner would need. 👍
When buying used equipment that doesn't run I always put a little starter fluid in to make sure they try to start, it doesn't have to run long, if it kicks and tries to start, it's usually save-able.
Type of tool you used
It depends on the machine but you can get a whole set on Amazon for 6 or 7 dollars that will cover just about all of them, including weedeaters and chainsaws and just about any 2 stroke carb out there.
It's not a Philip or flat head. It's a circle with a piece of the pie missing like
That would be a pac man bit(I didn't name them lol)
0:39 lol
I decided not to edit it at all this time and I tend to talk to myself between shots. 🤣
@@GuysPlayingWithTools I think it is awesome, as I talk to myself as I work, using my voice in my head to guide my efforts. I might channel my inner Bruce Pender, or Steve Small Engine Saloon or John Klem to advise myself on how to do it correctly.
Sometimes you just know !
You get an ear for it after a while for sure
Fun fact; you cannot purchase the jet adjuster tools at any in person store, only online due to us emissions! (So don’t bother calling Napa 😑)
That is a fun fact! I got a full set once upon a time(they last forever) but I always assumed you could buy them at the local mower store.
Worthless with no close up view of what you're doing.
It's an old video, I had to go watch it again myself. At the 6:45 mark, while doing the adjustment, it clearly shows the screws being adjusted, along with a complete explanation. Can't help you much more than that.
