    Great Job Explaining the carb. And it didn't take me long back in the day to figure out the Tilly metering valve "catch" on the pan handle. "why is my carb puking fuel?!?" Can't wait for the 922 build. I just rebuild my 925 over the weekend. I lucked out and only needed rings. I removed the base gasket on mine and squish was .032 and now i can' barely pull it over because of the compression increase.

    Another good video, Tinman. I still remember my first effort to figure out why my first ever power saw would be hard starting and also if it did start, it would run crappy. Through research, I began to learn how saws run right, how fuel systems are supposed to work right vs issues with them, and the other thing that was transformative in my education on small 2 stroke power saws and weed trimmers etc was AIR LEAKS. As I learned, a lot of times, running issues and the survival of a saw depends on ensuring there are 0 air leaks. Good Spark, Clean air in and out, Good Fuel and clean Air and fuel filters should make for a sound saw. Dirt, Leaking Gaskets, Bearing seals etc, and bad fuel/ gummy fuel lines impulse line etc will cause failures to run, engine wear and seizure, and carb issues. After replacing my fuel system in my 026 right down to another stock carb, and my saw was running like it should.

    Iv tried new top ends.gaskets.crank seals.carb kits oem carbs from other saws.ignition timing changes.checking choke flap springs and seals on the filters like the 038 I'm very defeated with these 2 saws iv been racking my head around this for so long.iv built alot of nasty ported saws that run amazing you have been a big part of that. The best videos for intermediate builders like my self are the chasing problem videos and knowing how to diagnose these issues. Side note tank vents and how the tanks go under vacuum if the vent line or filter is plugged and how a saw will act. And how cracking the cap will return to idle once vacuum is released.thanks for all your help these videos are great I'm going to spend more time around metering levers today and try different heights and see how these saws act

    What a great and very informative video. I have almost always replaced carbs on older saws and weed eaters etc as I think they're cheap enough in comparison to kits, it's usually the quickest way to fix a problem, it doesn't always work though. I have bought bad runners too and done the same without really looking inside in case someone has made a mistake...I will look closer at these basket cases now before throwing a new carb at them.

    • @justinweier4099
      @justinweier4099 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@jonathanhoekstra6174 I don't know if there are different aftermarket manufactures for the carbs or not. I've ordered the off-brands from Amazon for other small engines and haven't been able to tell the difference between one generic brand and the next. I assume it's the same or similar products just getting rebranded. Which is unfortunate. I try to rebuild WalbroI or Tilloston carbs whenever I can for this reason. When you look at other chainsaw parts we have a selection of manufactures to choose from with good reputations (thinking specifically of Meteor pistons and Caber rings). It's not uncommon at all to build a quality new saw with a mix of generic aftermarket, OEM, and third party parts. It'd just be great to have some better quality options for new carburetors.

      So nice to see quality ducting - when I was a wee lad over 50 years ago, our neighbor, who worked for a major residential HVAC contractor, installed a new gas furnace and central air conditioning in our house, using similar all-metal smooth supply and return plenums that ran the full length of the house in the basement, with round duct pipe to all of the upstairs rooms. That system is still in operation today (the central A/C worked, with no freon recharges or compressor changes, for about 50 years with no service other than lubricating the condenser fan bearings, and the furnace was replaced once, upgraded to a condensing-style about 20 years ago). No, they don't make them that good any more!
      The house I live in now has a downflow gas furnace with that infernal spiral-wrap insulated plastic supply and return ducting that I absolutely can't stand. Plus rats can easily chew holes through it in the crawl spaces below and above. It has high flow resistance, is impossible to clean, and well enough said.

    Buddy you just saved me 60 bucks on a new carb because of this. Used it to adjust a walbro in the same manner, and I was sure it was a goner until I saw this and you made the lightbulb go off in my head.
    The metering lever wasnt pulling the small pin enough to get that diaphragm moving and once I saw it sitting low, I pulled it just barely above flush of the surface of the carb, the saw now idles like a champ.

    Thanks for all your wisdom Tinnman. I acquired a 288xp with a melted piston. I cleaned up the OEM cyl. and put in a meteor piston and caber ring, kept base gasket in. It runs great for awhile until you start bucking hard and building heat, then seems to run rich. I lean it out, then too lean. It's just back and forth, rich and lean like it won't hold the tune. Any ideas? I'd really like to keep this saw and cut firewood with it.

  • @basiedp
    @basiedp 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    What i found with after market carb....gasket used for 2 valves side was a problem. The material used was mmm. If 4 cover screws was tightned to much carb gave issues. Loose screws ever so little it runs fine. Replaced almost clear valve gasket and runs fine. Maybe it was forced at semi open or not sealing good with material used.

    My old Husky 162se gave me some grief back when it was newer and I was using it all day. Turns out I got a couple carb kits that had poor quality control on the diaphragm "hat" and the metering fork. Spring resistance might have been a factor too. So the fork was wearing the stem on the diaphragm where the needle wasn't getting the total up/down movement it was designed for. Too much slop in total. If you slip the fork onto the diaphragm stem the way it is when assembled right - how much up/down movement does the stem have on the fork? These had a lot after being run hard for a week or two. Just another thing to look at, sure enjoy your channel.

    I have found in some of the China carbs that the crescent in the throttle plate is out of alignment with the tiny little idle circuit venture hole because the don't have the little bumps that aligne it to the throttle shaft so you can loosen the screw and spin the crescent to align with venturie which will create a tunable carburetor however the amount of turns on the jet screws will still be way different than a OEM carburetor usually low jet way out and high jet way in

    Could you do a side by side teardown, 1 original, and one aftermarket, then you could measure and compare both carbs. Also if you cave calipers you could bake both carb bodies and measure the gain to compare them, then let them cool and check the turn dimension this would show the difference in the metal alloy for expansion and contracting and why they might not work!

    Those diaphragms are used for ethanol fuels. If you change the diaphragm to a OEM black rubber style I wonder if that would make a difference. I remember seeing a Smitty's video where he said he doesn't use those diaphragms due to air leaks because they don't seal the greatest.

    Tin man, I know I asked about rifleboring carbs on saws, and you really couldn't justify any realistic power gains as to be feasible, I see on your videos and Ironhorses videos it's prudent to have the intakes "roughed" up a bit to promote better atomization on the intake ports, wouldn't it be prudent to do the same to a carb venturi, also another question in Reed valve motorbikes and snowmobiles they "boyessen" has a system called a rad valve, as far as I know it's not their aftermarket Reed kit, I use them on my snowmobiles, this is sort of a spacer that separates the venturi into quadrants to boost pressure, maybe you could explain the principle behind the system and the way it functions, I would love to see something smaller be done on saws thanks again tinman for the excellent videos!!

  • @jasonsytsma9367
    @jasonsytsma9367 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hey tinman, iv got a hunch.... these after market carbs go out of tune because of the jet springs.
    Assuming these springs arnt stable, equal, tempered well, etc etc etc...they could be changing under vibrational load, temperature, memory, rebound etc and allowing the jets to turn on theor own under various circumstances.
    A quality spring needs to be strong enough to act like a lock washer to hold jet position. It needs to be strong yet springy enough to maintain rebound "memory"
    I suspect that these carbs are fine, but the springs on the jets are low quality or of an inconsistent quality...thus the run-to-run tuning issues.

  • @chucksmoko5348

    I haven’t worked on a Tillotson. when I work on walbro and zama, I make sure that after the gasket and diaphragm when sitting flat on carb are NOT depressing the needle.
    On some aftermarket kits, I have seen variations in the stub length on the diaphragm. Regardless of what the height gauge says, it shouldn’t be depressing the needle.

But I feel there is a carb issue, after taking off I found there was no info’ on it to tell you what name, number or anything to identify, it is I believe a Chinese model, which says it all. Not sure if the needle valve is to be a special setting or whatever. Can you help to say how I could find out about it, and any parts I may need. The machine did run ok but then started bogging down, I then ended up with it not starting at all so would like to restart with a replacement carb but not sure which to get.🤔🤔 Help.😒. Didn’t mention, the chainsaw is a, Parker, 20”, 62cc. model.

    I got a question for you tinman. I just got a pro Mac 55. I replaced the cracked fuel line. Took the carb apart and cleaned it.runs good fires up. Once I'm in the cut for a bit on say a 12 inch log it leans out and starts to cut off. I set the metering level according to walbro. Perhaps it still needs to be rebuilt? I got a new carb coming in, found it on eBay for 40 bucks so I figured that's better than buying the rebuild kit. What do you think? It has a walbro 49 so it only has the low jet and the fixes high.

      Try rebuilding the car and check for air leaks.

    Veja como está a vedação daquela válvula do venturi (Main jet check valve)! Tive problemas com meu carburador e resolvi mexendo nesta válvula.

    So when these China carbs do not work, and a lot of these old Tilly carbs are no longer available, what to do then? I am in that situation. Rebuild did not fix the issue.

    DITO I hate aftermarket carbs.They never tune right and if they do it changes far to often. I put a oem 390 carb on a modded 372 and it wouldn't idle down period turn the low out 3 turns and still was running away. I adjusted the metering lever 7 ways from sunday no joy.I changed the carb and put a oem 372 carb on it runs great.Still haven't figured out why the 390 carb wouldn't idle down.Speak of breaking eggs just built a sxl925 it lasted about 40 seconds and the rod broke oh well.

    I had a 576 that did that same thing and it drove me nuts so I bit the bullet and paid $200 for a new oem carb fixed the issue so I never use aftermarket carbs

      My first 576 had the same issues also. A $200 carb ran the same as the original lol.

  • @HobbitHomes263

    Too, perhaps the cheap casting expands more than the shaft creating micro leaks. if the vibration and vac pulses causes a tiny flutter in the shaft it could tune erratically. I have a factory 240 that I MUST tune only when it is at operating temp and has been in a couple cuts or, on the bench, several idle/WOT cycles. I know guys who wrench for 2 stroke dirtbike racers. They tell me the final tune MUST be made with input from the rider, from the track. They can get dang close with the bike on a stand or a dyno but to truly dial it in, it MUST be tuned in the dirt :) Dirtbikes and Chainsaws are similar. Engine/clutch/chain/load

    So I think I now have my carb figured out. I'll have to put the original back on. My metering lever was a little high but the saw would not start at one turn out on both screws. the saw flooded. i had to screw the low speed all the way in and it still ran rich.

    Zama carbs are my Kryptonite, I had a 575 once and just could not get it dialed in, I did sell it with full disclosure and at least I didn't lose any money on it.
