      @@AveRage_Joe Hi Joe the first battery I repaired had 4 failed 18650. I looks like the manufacturer dropped the battery pack on the floor and dented them. A third of the packs I see have bad cells. I replace just the bad cells unless the customer wants a full refresh. I've tried about ten different BMS balance boards. The first few were under rated and would trip. After disconnecting they reset.

    Maybe a dumb question, but if I remove the carb bowl will all the gas drain from the tank? Or can I remove and spray with a full tank?

    • @AveRage_Joe
      @AveRage_Joe  3 года назад

      Yes it would drain the tank however if you clamp the fuel line(pinch it with something flat so you dont ruin it) you can then proceed. Another option is to pull the line and drain it back into the gas can.

    Do I need to drain the gas first before I spray the one you spray in the carburetor and can I put it back the gas that I drained. Also, the one that you spray in the carburetor is it safe also to use it in Toro snow blower 621.

    • @AveRage_Joe
      @AveRage_Joe  3 года назад +2

      If the gas stinks(doesnt smell like gas) I wouldnt reuse and yes drain it. If the gas smells ok then pinch off the gas line from the carb to save it. Yeah you can use the spray on all carbs.

      @@AveRage_Joe For clarification, are you saying that the good gas doesn’t necessarily have to be drained in order to clean the carburetor and just pinch the fuel line so the gas doesn’t drain out? I just filled with new gas only to find that it wouldn’t start. This is my first time doing a fix like this. Currently in the middle of a snow storm in the Northeast. Hoping to get the blower up and running tomorrow morning. I appreciate you posting a video like this and thank you in advance for your help!

    • @AveRage_Joe
      @AveRage_Joe  3 года назад

      Yeah if you just put gas in and dont want to loose it, pinch the line with something and then if you can drain the good gas back into your gas can just in case you have to tilt the blower over. If you dont need to tilt the blower over then the pinch should be fine. Good luck, we just got a foot of snow the other day!🤘

    Most often from old gas it’ll be the main jet that’s clogged. You can stick a flat head screwdriver into that center hole and screw the jet out, it’ll make it easier to spray down and clean. Sometimes if it’s really bad, you can poke something through the hole to help move the gunk, or even drill the center hole out with a small drill. Make sure to clean the float bowl out before putting it back on, and you should be good to go.

    • @BigBear--
      @BigBear-- 3 года назад +1

      He didn’t mention one of the main conditions that occurs from a clogged main jet - Engine Surging. So your motor will start, but once you switch the choke to RUN position the engine will continuously surge the throttle/RPM up and down. If you switch the choke to open again and it smooths the RPM out, you got a clogged main jet. Follow the same cleaning steps as above.

    • @AveRage_Joe
      @AveRage_Joe  3 года назад

      That is correct I didnt mention any of that. This was just a quick fix!🤘

    • @BigBear--
      @BigBear-- 2 года назад

      It’s normal for it to surge with the choke open. Does it continue to surge if you set the choke to the normal RUN position? Or it only surges with choke open?

    • @BigBear--
      @BigBear-- 2 года назад

      If it’s not surging in RUN position, then it’s operating normally. The Throttle is part of the Carburetor, you can take the carb off and clean it, but generally that’s not what’s causing the surging if there is any. Get back to me when the winter season starts if it surges in RUN. If it continues to surge in RUN position, there is another fix.
