Hi guys I just wanted to Introduce to you my other Channel "Kirkman's Academy" - which i'm just getting started. It's a go-to channel for simple explanations for hard to grasp subjects such as physics, maths and chemistry etc. Here is the link: www.youtube.com/@kirkmansacademy/videos . Thank you so much for looking, and if these topics interest you then I hope to see you the there. Many thanks indeed. Craig 😊👍
They certainly are. If you would like to see a two stroke carburetor working from another perspective then I've included another link here. Just in case: th-cam.com/video/kTly4BYvauM/w-d-xo.html Thanks. Craig
So glad i came across your videos. nothing i like more than an exact description and operation of something. I feel like i just went to school for free. Thank you so much, i finally got exactly what ive been looking for. Take care
Superb absolutely superb. I’ve got a carb problem on my Stihl chainsaw now I can get to grips with it confidently knowing how it works. So grateful to you for such a valuable education.
@@TheRepairSpecialist thanks mate. It’s great to get precise information from a pro and not getting pointless banter. Your accent is a treat to listen too also. I’m reminded of my school days when listening to some good teachers who had the knack of putting over point and fully understanding something new. Keep up the good work.
Bloody marvellous. This and his other videos on the 2 stroke are 'must sees' for anyone who has problems with pesky 2-stroke engines. Watch these and you'll know what to look for when the inevitable happens and your weedwacker or chain saw wont start or bogs down when you open the throttle. He's a bit long winded and his diagrams are kinda primitive - all old school, low tech stuff - but who cares, his explanations are top notch and deliver the required eureka moment. Keep it up and don't be discouraged by the odd negative comment. You've saved me hours of wasted time and frustration. Your efforts are much appreciated!!
Congratulations for transmitting your knowledge, it is remarkable the way you do it, very clear and objective. Thanks very much! It has been satisfying my needs ( my chainsaws ) and my deep curiosity on subjects where i always felt that i could hear for hours but normally nobody would like to passionate talk for hours ! Great work.
Thank you very much for doing this video. I've been a master Audi/Volkswagen auto technician for 17 years, but trying to repair my leaf blower this weekend, this is the first time I've ever dealt with a 2 cycle engine. Thank you for helping me understand it.
Thank you very much. A very talented and patient man. If only we had more people like you in this country, (UK). I wish I had you and Allen Millyard as my neighbours.
Excellent video. I dismantled my chainsaw carb yesterday when I had a starting problem, looked at the parts inside and could not understand how it functioned. Now having the benefit of your explanation, I do. So, many thanks.
I really enjoyed this video! I was taking apart my little 25cc 2 stroke leaf blower carb to clean it out, and really enjoyed being able to identify all the parts you talked about in the video, as well as learn a little about how my carb works. So thanks! :)
Excellent video explanation! Prior to watching this, I had a fair understanding of how these types of carburetors worked, but not enough to confidently explain to someone else how they worked; now I do. Thank you so much!
that couldnt have been explained any better. ive been having problems with my stihl carburetor on my chainsaw and i am familiar with all the pieces to the carb but not their functions. after watching this video i fully understand the way the carb works and its functions. so thank you for your knowledge and hard work on this video. its was really explained perfectly.
IKrugerr, wow, thank you so much for your motivating feedback. It's comments like yours that keep me motivated to continue making these videos. Many thanks again.
yes sir. I should be thanking you though. To be honest i had 2 chainsaws that were bogging down and would die when pulling the throttle, so i messed with the high and low adjustments and nothing. so i sat down and watched your hour video on 12 reasons why a 2 stroke engines boggs down, this was after i watched your video on the carburetor and how it works. After these videos i had enough confidence i could get these chainsaws running. I did a little more studying on your videos, then started inspecting and cleaning the carb and engine in the areas you explained. and i now have 2 running chainsaws 1 day later. so thank you for your knowledge! i have never been more inspired to work on small engines than after these videos. cant wait for more
Thank you so much, this is The first time I’ve ever seen this process diagramed. Got my chainsaw going again after learning how to adjust fuel mixture on a previous video. Much appreciated!
Thank you so much for your generosity of spirit and sharing your knowledge and experience in a straightforward, sensible, jargon free manner and for the work you have put into preparing these videos.
Thanks much. I wish that all knowledge is passed honestly like this. Most educated people hoard their knowledge or sell it slowly and not honestly. Kudos.
excellent animation making the mystery carburettor simple. I could never understand how they worked without a float chamber and especially when running on it's side or upside-down even. now i know!!
Thank You So Much RepairSpecialist! That was an amazing illustration of how a carburetor works. I certainly enjoyed the animation which clearly illustrates how the it all works together.
Your knowledge and experience should be put to pen and paper. It would be great to have a book on your repairs open on my work bench instead of my screen on my phone getting dirty. Fantastic job.
Roy E, hi, thank you for your great feedback. I really do appreciate it. Great minds think alike, I'm actually on the case with with paper form. Hopefully I will have something worth reading soon. Thanks again. 😊
This is an amazing video! Thank you for your excellent explanation of a 2 stroke engine and carburetor workings. It's helped me understand enough so that I can repair and maintain my 2 stroke mercury outboard and all the 2 stroke tools around my house without a lot of wasted time. It's an easier job now. Very well done!
Thank you for the way you share your knowledge. Not just in this video, but the others I have watched. Your diagram helped me a lot. Very much appreciated!
It's my understanding that rather than "ready pressure" (which a conventional liquid can't actually hold on its own) the fuel comes in on one side of the diaphragm on the intake stroke and is pushed to the other on the power stroke through another flap valve over a port in the cover. The same diaphragm movement which draws the fuel in to one side, pushes it towards the needle valve and return line on the other. On the power stroke the opposite movement evacuates the reservoir in the cover, moving the fuel to the reservoir in the body. The goal being to avoid pumping fuel through the jets under crankcase pressure, but rather allow it to be drawn in under atmospheric pressure. At least that's how a see it. Regardless, each one is a brilliant little masterpiece of industrial design. Minimal parts, simple construction, inexpensive materials, adjustable, versatile, gravity-neutral and durable. An astounding mechanical accomplishment in the palm of your hand for a few pounds and pence. Beautiful! Love your videos! Keep up the good work!
Knocked it out of park, best ever on these lit' guy carbs. Seems that my reed valve may be leaking or another finely tuned carb part. New Carb kit fix is on the way.
Great video, the explanation shows your knowledge 👍. It’s helped me understand the process more clearly, but unfortunately, I’m still having the same issue as before...my carb continues to flood on my RC car and would be very grateful if you could help me with the problem I’m having. Cheers and all the best. Gaz
You are an outstanding instructor, I appreciate how you made this so logical and easy to understand. I think I am becoming addicted to your videos, I am finding myself binge watching. Just one thing I want to confirm, at around min 2:35 where you talk about the pulse line, that would be fuel and air mixture acting on the pump diaphragm, right?
I have a request for a video on the purge/primer check valves on a zama carburetor c1u-w43. There appears to be 2 methods for these check valves to work. One has a little red valve that is under the buld. The other has check valves that are built into the body. I have both of these. The problem is I ruined the one that has the check valves built into the body by running a wire through them. I was wondering if you could do a video showing how you could repair this if possible. Also, maybe do a video that says don't run a wire through these types of check valves. Also, it would help if it was better explained how they work. One of your videos mentioned a spring and a seat, but didn't explain where they were or how they worked. Thanks, Jim Rice
Hi Jim. Yes, well said. I will look into adding that to my list. I noted though, that you had looked at one of my other videos. Was it the one in this link? If not then this might be a very good place for you to start. It's not exactly your type of carb but it is close. It will give you a good idea whats going on. Again, i'm sorry if you have already seen this. Thanks Craig : th-cam.com/video/jalfpoldyo0/w-d-xo.html
Shows how how important it is for the diaphragm to remain flexible so it can do it's job. Once it gets rigid the carburetor will not work right or not work at all.

I can't explain exactly how this works. But when you tell me it is so realistic and easy to figure. Thanks Don
Why would anyone give a thumbs down 👎? I very much appreciate this information. Great job!
You BLOW MY MIND AS TO How Good You Show & Tell About it & EVERYTHING
I really enjoyed this video! I was taking apart my little 25cc 2 stroke leaf blower carb to clean it out, and really enjoyed being able to identify all the parts you talked about in the video, as well as learn a little about how my carb works. So thanks! :)
Thank you sir for sharing your vast experience and knowledge. I had no idea how this worked until your videos.
Quite amazing to know what happens inside those little carburetors and how much more complicated they are than my motorcycle carburetor even.
What an amazingly articulate and precise explanation. Your experience really shows.
nhikoid, I really appreciate your positive feedback, thank you so much

You have just literally demystifies how the 2 stroke carb functions. Thank you. Will be helpful in trouble shooting my chainsaw
Priceless to me. Clean and simple explanation. This will help me to diagnose my Chainsaw. Thank you.
A well presented and informative description of a complicated fuel system we take for granted .Thank you
Thank you so much, this is The first time I’ve ever seen this process diagramed.
