Hi! i need some help, i have a still leaf blower, i took the carburator
apart to chande the prime bulb when i put it all back together and tried to
prime it and the bulb wouldn’t fill up do you know what can this be?
thanks!
Great explanation of the common carb problems, here are some of my
observations over the years. AVgas and race fuel have no alcohol and will
stay stable for more than a year. premium pump gas usually has no alcohol
but needs a stabilizer for off season storage. Starbrite Startron is an
additive that is supposed to emulsify the water in E10 fuel and allow it to
pass through the carb jets and desposed of in the combustion chamber.
I’ve done hundreds of these little carbs and still love them. Tecumseh bowl
style carbs don’t have the check balls but rather the flat diaphram style
that were common on the Toro s200-620, etc had the check balls that old
timers shake to hear. I am able to clean the fuel transfer idle passage
through the inside of the fuel pickup with a small 90d bent copper wire. I
also have a 90d bent straw that I spray carb cleaner through and visually
see it clean the passage. Great Video Darren.
That was an excellent tutorial… I have just seen to many absolute messes
inside carbs over the years. I figure best practice is: Drain it all, and
if you have to refill it again two days later, then drain it all again,
it’s a lot better than finding you need a new carb next year! But then I’m
not always so good at practicing my preachings LOL Did I mention, great
tutorial? It sure was.
Now that you’re in the middle of working on the van and the snowblowers ,
how about getting that Chris Craft pulled in and start working on that too?
HA HA don’t you love it when you have all the projects going at the same
time?
i havd a new troy built 3 years old revs up then tries to stall over and
over leaks gas all over the place would it ne a stuck float its trying to
run but its reving up and down maybe its just water my son on law was
trying to fix it swears its mot the carb i think it is commin sense its
leaking gas lol
I’m not a firm believer in Sta-bil either because it does not repel water,
it only stops the fuel from turning to varnish. You gave some great tips
and wonderful knowledge. God bless you and your family.
I did not realize H.F. had sonic cleaners. I will have to look for one
there.I strip the paper off half a bread tie and use the stripped end to
run up in the passages.Good job explaining the carb.
Good information, thanks for sharing. On another note, do you have any
experience with flux core wire feed welders? Are they worth buying for
minor body repairs? Thanks

Good stuff.
Very informative video,and thanks for sharing. Richard
it wakes you up better
The old good ones had a little springy thing on the bottom when you pushed
on them it would drain the float bowl. A lot easier that way.

l need to make one of those 90 deg straws,,thanks for watching,
l use flux most of the time, great for dirty and or rusty metal,the only
downfall is you can go thinner with gas, but flux works,

drane, it comes out behind the carb, i just want to know what it is
