Thank you, Canada!
I cant evan order this do to to many buyers so in canada you cant buy it😕
Looks like a Bull Rider at the Rodeo ... Didn't get thrown... good ride... flood mitigation achieved... Thanks for sharing Steve. Best to you and yours.
Omg!
I did it 👍😆
And I did it before it killed me
Thanks a bunch from
NW Louisiana ⚜️⚜️⚜️
Are you nuts forty one pulls....open up spark plug and pull once or twice and put it back thats all
My husband was about to junk it thinking it was a carburettor problem, not worth fixing. After watching your video, you saved us buying a new machine.
Awesome! Thank You...
@Kazuki Olivarez will do 👍
Was trying to start my flooded fs 220 couldn't get it start. I watch a lot video but none help until I watch yours. You are the best. Thanks man.
You're Welcome...
I like the way you always start from the beginning. You don't assume someone knows this or that. You explain it so good that a child could understand it. I like that. Please keep it simple and thorough at the same time thanks
Thanks for the awesome comment Will...
Greetings from Sydney Australia Steve,loving your channel and have earnt yourself a new subscriber.You do remind me of the late Patrick Swayze.Keep up the fantastic work my friend.
William Isen ....I’ll second that.
Steve, the information you put out is pure gold. I knew this technique already but didn’t know you could force it out of hydro-lock like that. There’s nothing worse than needing to get a job done and your equipment is giving you trouble. Thanks.
Fabian Sosa 7j
Heck ya I agree! I'm not the sharpest dude but he broke it down to basic level good vid
For people like myself who grew up fatherless or without a figure to teach such..... Thank you for explaining from a to z! Saved me from continuing to cry out here w my weedeater. Thank you!
You're Welcome...
Brother I have a NEW 131 I can’t start worth a damn..
Same here man
You magnificent bastard you, I have just moved out of home and had borrowed my grandfathers trimmer (whipper-snipper to my aussie brethren) and I thought I broke the bloody thing, I kept seeing these videos and articles about taking the whole bloody thing apart and I'm dying inside then, like a beacon in a storm your video pops up and by God did it work, thank you my good man.
Awesome! Thank You...
This guy is great! No need for an expensive visit to the mechanic. His explanations are priceless! Thanks a lot, Steve!
Our pleasure!
Actually took 47 Cranks to get her going, you're more in shape than I thought Steve! Koodos!
Ya I admit I'm impressed.
thats kokanee power.
I thought was 37-40 😅 but im watching on 1.5 speed lol
My arm hurt just from watch him
Been ripping my hair out when my trimmer shut down on me. I've been priming it time and time again to no avail. Then I remembered a friend of mine mentioning this video so I took a drink break and looked it up on YT.
Thank you, man. Can't believe how easy it is especially the clear manner in which you explained it.
You ended my day on a high note. Thank you again.
Right on Harry! You're Welcome...
Worked like a charm! I counted your pulls - 40. My trimmer took 35 pulls, but then I didn’t hydrolock mine. LOL
first time commenting on a video. Thank you for this. just borrowed a TS410 from work. brand new, couldn't get it to start, seemingly flooded it. followed your advice and started within 30seconds! Thanks again
You're Welcome...
I am 60 and this is the first time of hearing this. Imagine the time I could have saved by having this information early in life. Thank you!!!
You're Welcome...
Hello STEVE, it's me IAN from Brampton, Ontario, CANADA.
Steve, I personally thank you kindly for this particular video about FLOODED TWO STROKE ENGINE. Steve, you explain everything from the basics and make me feel comfortable and brings my confidence to a great level.
Right now, I desperately need your INPUT HELP on starting my bogged down Two Stroke Mini GARDEN TILLER by ECHO model # TC210.
Steve, I got it to start by learning from your EXAMPLE in YOUR OTHER VIDEO but I CANNOT fine tune the NEWLY ORDERED and INSTALLED CARBURETOR HIGH & LOW SCREW PIN ADJUSTERS or the THROTTLE SCREW ADJUSTER, which I also tried to experiment with in order to keep the engine running when I had started it after pulling the cord a dozen times playing with the CHOKE.
I hope to hear from you soon STEVE !!
Thank you kindly again for your informative educational videos !!!
OMG I had the same problem with my echo srm 2620t for the past 3 days. If only I had done some research. I wasn’t in any rush as such and I knew it would eventually start. There was a lot of smoke when it eventually started but next I will know what to do immediately. Thank you so much. You have gotten a new subscriber and a like.
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
it works!!! after my husband said you cant crank that damn thing and was laughing at me till th 24 pull...... HAThank you steve!! You're gr8
AWESOME! You're Welcome...
A sign of a healthy young canadian. Strong as a defenseman and stubborn as a moose. Kokanee is great beer
All true except the part about Kokanee 😂
Hey! I owe you a 6-pack of that beer! Great video! Worked for me just like you demonstrated! Two thirds of my life in the rear view mirror and I learn this! Thanks Steve!
You're Welcome...
I was about to give up on my gas trimmer until I viewed your video. Great tip. Thanks
Glad I could help
You are a life saver man!
I am so thankful.
I bought a Shindaiwa T262 on 2018 after Hurricane María so I can start a new job in landscaping (because power was down for a long period of time and I couldn't continue working in my design/programming/music prodicution freelance job) and it have been working flawlessly until yesterday. I trimmed, put it down, blew with the blower, and when I started it again to continue trimming, it wouldn't start.
I cleaned the spark, the filter, and was about to either take the trimmer to a shop to clean or replace the carburetor, or to buy a carburetor kit on Ebay. This increased my already present generalized anxiety thinking about what I was gonna do now, with no money, and no nearby shops.
So after searching for how to clean the carb yesterday, today this video popped up in my RUclips home.
So I decided to watch it.
I was hopeless but decided to try it anyway.
After pulling the cord maaaany times, it made the first attempt to start and I was like "No way!!!" so I kept pulling.
And the darn trimmer started!!!!
Now I'm pulling my hairs about what went wrong. I probably started the trimmer with the choke on and flooded it.
I'm so happy now and ashamed about how easy the fix was.
Now I need to play with the accelerator screw, which I turned around yesterday to test few theories, and when I release the accelerator now the trimmer shuts down immediately.
We need more heroes like you, kind people willing to keep the information flowing and sharing (as I do with my design/programming/technology/music skills) to give everyone a hand in times of need.
I wish you success, health, joy, and blessings.
From Puerto Rico.
I actually gasped when you poured that much gas into the cylinder fearing that it would be hydraulically locked and you would have no chance of even getting it to crank much less starting it. Although my back would have gone out pulling it that many times you did prove your point. btw I am an engineer and the good old boys so often know their sheet better than us. Thank you for proving me wrong and bravo to you.
Right on Johnny...
After replacing spark plug, air filter, carburetor, ignition coil, and cleaning out the spark arrestor while watching a ton of videos on RUclips, none of which worked. I finally came across your video and boom now my Stihl fs45 weed eater is back to working. THANK YOU!!
You're Welcome...
Hi Steve;
I actually did this and it worked. However, due to the heart attack I suffered right after I could only use my chainsaw while lying on the ground.
Seriously it did work for me and I thank you.
It took 14 pulls and wiped me out. 🥵
Bro, are you Okay ???
ian polesel I’m ok but it wiped me out.
@@davidpirozzi3984 Would've wiped me out too. Would have taken a week for me to get 48 pulls in 🤣
I tried 22 pulls I can barely text this message my arm is so limp
Steve's advice worked so well to get my Ryobi TRIMMER UN-flooded, I had myself another beer! Thanks Steve!
You're Welcome...
Thank You!! Took out my Echo weed trimmer this morning and nothing. I actually have a blister on my index finger from pulling the cord so much. Took a break and found your video. I knew I was over flooded because the gas was spewing out of the exhaust. Tried your method and wallah!!! Only took me about five pulls and she started right up. Just gained a new subscriber 👍🏼
Right on Marty! Thank You...
Ya i had fuel pissing out my echo trimmer too , my mistake was i kept choking once i got it unsiezed and pulling....then i came and watched the vid... i called it a day but i know better next time.
My biggest problem besides being dumb is im gettn old
I too had to smile when you helped us Brits by mentioning petrol. You have an amusing and sure fire, get the message across approach to helping people. I have an old MS 260 with which I have to be careful never to let it run out of petrol. If it does it seems to be always flooded after refilling! If in a hurry I unscrew the plug to dry it then try again, if not I go indoors, make a cup of tea, eat a couple of chocolate biscuits then try again. You say "without tools" but experience has shown me to always have a plug spanner handy, besides, I am nowhere near as energetic as you, young man.
Steve, your method worked way better than what the mechanic at my small engine shop showed me (pull the spark plug and blow the cylinder out with a compressor). Once I pulled the air cleaner off I was able to see and understand the choke and throttle movements. I wont forget this lesson. Keep making these videos.
Thank You...
Dude, thank u so much! U r the small engine GOD!!!
Glad I could help
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon I forgot to subscribe. Just did now tho!👍🏼
As usual, Steve provides good straight forward information regarding “flooding” and then goes to the extreme to bang home the idea of what flooding really is AND how to easily resolve the issue with “no tools.” I know i have experienced flooding syndrome with my Husqvarna chainsaw.
Glad I found this channel. Just bought my first 2 stroke cutoff saw and flooded it within a day.
Cheers from Israel
Thanks Steve! Bought a brand new Stihl fs38 last week, worked great on the day. Went to start it this weekend and flooded it. Was on the verge of taking it back to the shop until I found your video. Cheers from down under
Right on Mate...
Five years later and it’s still helping people thanks!
You're Welcome...
Been fixing small tools a few years now and never had the persistence to simply keep pulling it. Just done it with my Strimmer and it worked. After spending an hour trying to unflood it in every way I know how. Fair play.
Right on Gavin...
That is exactly what did. I took the spark plug out and put just a little bit gas mixture in on top of the piston i put the plug back in and kept on pulling the rope until it started.
After watching multiple You Tube videos telling me to pull apart my Stihl I saw and tried this. Back up and running in 2 minutes. Great Visio well explained and effective. Thanks.
Right on Tim....
OMG THANK YOU!!! I couldn't get my Stihl weed eater unflooded for weeks. Your method worked in 3 pulls!
You're Welcome...
Dude, I wasn't home, didn't have the right socket in the rig and this saved me a drive. Thank you sir!
You're Welcome...
Today, I didn't need to pour gas into my FS-45's cylinder to flood it. I just tried to start it.
After I gave up, I removed the air filter from the throttle housing, and gas poured out!
Per your instructions, Steve, I must have over choked. I probably squished the primer bulb too many times, too (six squishes).
Also, seeing you pull the starter 293 times (more or less) was encouraging and instructive. I would have thought it was hopeless. Lesson: keep on!
Thanks!
Nice you think of us Brits with our petrol. Gas is what we cook with. I like your videos Steve. All the best from the UK.
So happy I said that now! About 10% of my views come from the UK, I love you guys.....
Steve's Small Engine Saloon well us Brits love our gardening :) I usually try the ‘ go off, have a cup of tea and come back when it’s unflooded itself ‘ approach. Much easier on the shoulder.
Now you’re cookin with Gas!
One day you'll graduate to manhood and cook with charcoal:)
Aye!! The Queens English!! We have lots of things like that being so far apart
This helped me solve some problems with a whipper snipper I'd left outside for a bit too long. I thought I was flooded but after watching this I realized the spark plug was bone dry so it was the pump that needed fixing! Thanks from Australia!
this is 6 years ago..but still helped me with my trimmer....thank you!!
Great to hear!
I was about to put my chainsaw out on a stump in front of my house with a sign saying "FREE (DOESN'T WORK)." I literally had the sign all ready! I decided to look through a few of your videos first, and this is the one that did the trick. A bunch of pulls with the choke off and the throttle open and it started up. I didn't _think_ it was flooded -- the spark plug didn't seem wet -- but it was. 👍👍👍to you, Steve.
Right on bud!
After replacing the fuel line and filter with a new one, I was still having issues with my weed eater. I would pull and pull the cord while on choke setting and it wouldn’t start. Lucky for me I found this very helpful video. I did as was instructed and after about 6 pulls, the motor began to rev and on the 7 th pull, it was working like new. Thanks for this video!
You're Welcome...
Oh man, I was taught that you have to remove the spark plug and drain the gas. This is so much much smarter. Thanks, bud.
No problem 👍
Awesome lesson! First I checked spark from your other video, and then I thought is most likely flooded. 20 pulls per your instructions and I'm good to go! Then I did the carb adjustment at both high and lower speed and my blood runs great. Thank you Steve! I'm definitely buying you beer🍺
Thank You...
I could not start my Craftsman weed eater. I took the carburetor apart and cleaned it well but still would not start. I stumbled upon this video and did this. After putting the choke lever in the wide-open position, pressing the trigger, and pulling the cord about 15 times, it finally started. Thanks for this video, man. It saved me God knows how much money for a repair person.
You're Welcome...
Thank you Steve, I thought I needed to take my trimmer to the shop when it was simply flooded your the man bro.
Very welcome
Thank you very, very much. Not only did you save me from buying another weedwhacker, you also saved me from losing my mind. My WE was completely flooded and was about to give up. Thanks for the knowledge going forward!
Glad I could help
Thank you sir. I set my trimmer down on my lawn (like I've done dozens of times), but this time it decided to roll all the way to the sidewalk. (There is a slight grade). After that it smelled like gas big time and wouldn't restart. I knew it was flooded, but beyond waiting it out, I didn't know how to "unflood" it. I ran into the house and found your video. It worked like a charm. I finished my trimming job along with the rest of the yardwork. I was actually keeping the choke on and wondering why the damn thing wouldn't start. Thanks for making my day easier and more productive!
So happy that helped Mike....
I was going nuts all day. Drain the fue OUT OF THE TRIMMER. went out and got some fresh fuel. change the spark plug still no start I was getting ready to toss it and it's only a year old.. Watched your 7 minute video did exactly what you mention in the video OMG I couldn't believe it it started right up. Thank you very much I owe you a case of beer.
Right on Marty! Thank You...
Thanks so much - worked like an absolute TREAT! Was about to go and buy a new spark plug thinking that would solves the problem!! Us Aussies use 'petrol" too
You're welcome!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video! Just saved me some time and I was able to finish cutting my lawn
Great to hear!
Great job my friend! thanks for taking the time to post excellent info... I gotta tell ya there's just something about small engine repair.... I'd rather take my direct injection gas engine opart in my VW than mess with small engines.. People have no idea how precise the repairs on small engines actually are. I can get any gas or diesel engine running with way out of wack air/fuel ratios but a small engine?? Good luck folks... Even as a Red Seal Factory Trained Grand Master Technician, I drop my small engine repairs off to our local guru. Im glad he's still around as small engine repair professionals are becoming few and far between in my locale. Yes I can make a Porsche sing, a VW hum and a Cadillac smoke tires but when it comes to my small engine repairs I just leave that to the man who knows them best.
Went to school for small engine repair and things can be a little tedious but not much harder in my opinion than larger engines, just smaller and less parts. Carbureted usually instead of fuel injected but thats the biggest difference
Good morning Steve right so I took my Florabest petrol it’s German make to repair shop & they say that is un repairable & need new carburettor but they said that we can’t get it so I brought this machine Back home .after searching I ordered carburettor from eBay cost me £10 now there are 100’s of carburettor on eBay that fit my machine so how come that Wally said that can’t get carburettor.nevertheless I put the carburettor on so my original carburettor had a separate primer bulb but this one had actually on the carburettor method is same tried it & it worked but after it stopped & I couldn’t get started this stage I was right pissed off sorry for a bad language but spark plug was flooded so I left it & that’s where I found you & watched your video my god Steve it worked & never stopped 👌👌so guys this Steve is No 1 men. Thank you so much Steve & God bless you all 👍👍👍🙏🤓🤓
Right on Deven! You're Welcome...
Thanks Steve for taking the time to make these videos! I have watched a lot of your videos and some repeatedly to keep my small engines running healthy. When I have a problem your straight to the point and easy to understand. Keep it up !
Thank You...
Jus bought a weed eater yesterday and flooded it this morning , Thank you so much!! Time to get back to work 👍👍👍
Good luck...
Man rite on I have watched like every small engine mechanic do the break down on troubleshooting problems and you my man are the best
Thank You...
literally so helpful. learning about lawn tools and care. Almost gave up and spent a lot of money. Ive never left a review for any youtube video.....ever....for real.... this was helpful.
Thank You Alexis! I am honored...
To myself I said, "Watch this, he's going to fill the combustion chamber". At that point I was laughing, but knew this would drive the point home. Well done. This will be very difficult to forget. You are a good teacher.
Thank you so much Scott.....
My ex said that I would need special tools to fix the problem I had when I flooded it. Then I found your video! And no tools needed!! HA!! And now it works like a charm!! Thank you for the video!!
Fantastic!
You have helped me recover my sanity. I will now attempt to start my strimmer again.
Right on...
Awesome! Thanks for the help. Finally got my 20 year old weedeater back running after a carb replacement and engine
flooding cleared. It's alive!
Fantastic!
I didn’t even know that this was the problem with mine. Tried it and it worked. Lol. Thanks
You're Welcome...
Thank you, thank you !! Watched your video, went out, and cranked my Echo cultivator. Wife is extremely happy now .
Fantastic!
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon Wife did good. tilled the whole garden today!!
Thank you! You helped me identify the problem I was having and fixed my trimmer on 3 pulls! You're awesome.
Great to hear!
another great video. stihls flood very easily. My wife is an orthopedic surgeon ; we watched this video together, she said steve should hire a stunt man to do those pulls, its almost as bad as swing a golf club for hour at a time.
I don’t comment. This is absolutely amazing. Only wish I had seen it before I missed a week of yard work.
Right on...
This video explained all of the symptoms I experienced yesterday with two of my 2-cycle engines. The only unanswered questions are how did this occur when it hasn’t ever happened before. Many thanks.
Steve...you are C R A Z Y!! But...Thank you. I have dealt with flooding for years and not known what to do except let it sit for 30-60 minutes! Thank You!!
I’ve been trying to start my weed eater for 2 days. I was 2 seconds from busting it into 1000 pieces in my driveway. Thanks for helping my mental health by providing this awesome information. Now I can edge my lawn.
You're Welcome...
Thank you!
Our trimmer flooded yesterday. I got up this morning prepared to visit the store for tools to remove the spark plug, then drain per the manufacturer's info. Then I watched your video.
It probably took some 30-50 cranks (we didn't count) between two people, handing it off when one got tired, but it started. Ran it full throttle for a few minutes after. Turned it off, and waited. Starts again like normal now.
Great job!
hell yeah brotha... I just bought a $400 USD echo SRM-266 and I honestly dont know WTF I am doing.
I have pulled it about 100 times and their troubleshooting guide doesnt explain anything. when fuel started coming out of the muffler I figured it was flooded.... but I followed the directions 100% to their written step-by-step both online and in the manual.
you have explained very well the forces I am up against.... I feel well armed now to get back at it. going to try no choke/full throttle and just pull until one of us dies
Good luck!
good sir I want to thank you for teaching me how to unflood a flooded motor it's been awhile since I had to use a gas powered weed trimmer
You're Welcome...
Thanks! I've been fixing a tossed out trimmer and knew everything worked individually. I figured I may have flooded it while trying to manually get fuel in the throat. Took me 56 pulls to get it going; I would have stopped after 20 if I hadn't seen you get near 50.
My dad taught me that awesome trick when i was just a young little shit and I passed it on to my boys and comes in very handy. Great videos man keep it up!
That's awesome Buddy! Thanks for the nice comment...
I have a case of flooding in my stihl fs120 and your video showed me what i was doing wrong. It is one of the best problem solving video i have seen lately
Thank You...
Love all your Videos Steve, that was my job before I retired! Gardener in the UK. Thanks for your in depth videos.
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
FINALLY!
Thank you thank you!
Got my whippersnipper going again.
Just changed the spark plug (courtesy of your other video) and couldn’t work out what was going wrong still!!
Turns out I’d flooded the engine in the process of trying to get it going before.
Ahh the roar is music to my ears.
Cheers from Australia!
To echo others, I knew nothing about this stuff and how you explain the parts and how they work in thorough but easy to understand terms is really helpful.
Great to feel empowered and save a bit of money in the process.
Thank You, I was about to take my whipper snipper in for repair or buy a new one. I just got it started after watching this.
You're welcome...
Had a flooded Husky. Almost brand new. You saved me about $50 today. Thanks!
You're Welcome...
I'm watching this in disbelief. Can't believe that thing started. I can't wait to get home and try this on my equipment.
Thanks a lot mate, Your video was very helpful, within no time at all i unflooded my edger engine. Good as new again. As we say here in Australia, your a bloody legend. Keep up the good work mate. 👍
Great to hear!
For all the you tube commando
Steve’s method is
When you out in the field
And DO NOT
I repeat DO NOT
Have any tool
This is TOOLLESS un flooding a 2 stroke engine
You have spark plug wrench , lighter , propane torch
Good for you
This is for TOOL LESS !
Good job Steve 👍
I did this once or twice
Not fun
But this is how to do it with out tool
Sofjan Mustopoh 3
Great Video Mate. Really helped me . Was nearly gonna chuck my 5 yr old whipper out , save for this video.
Great to hear!
We're only as wise as the wisdom we APPLY. Thank you, sir! Brilliant!
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
I know this is four years ago but I’m on a bush trimming job and relatively new to working on small mechanics and the second I opened both end of the carburetor it started firdt pull, thank you good sir!
Glad I could help
You did it again Steve ! Pulled us out of trouble with a flooded saw. ! !
Thanks Neil...
Thank you buddy. I got stuck with my same weed eater for almost two hours . I used your technique started. Thank you so much
You're Welcome...
I finally got my trimmer started after hours of trying! Thanks for the video! After a few minutes I got it started. I must have flooded it.
Great job!
You're right you didn't to finish your "Co-ki-nie" beer. Great video. If you have a tool, however, you can just unscrew the spark plug and let the port hole air dried. That way, you one can enjoy a "Co-ki-nie" beer!
I like the homelite sign. I still have a couple homelite chainsaws running like champs. My mom, dad & brother, couple aunts & uncles all worked there in Gastonia NC. Back in the good ol days.
Followed your steps and worked like a charm. Thanks for sharing
Glad it helped Zenia....
Helped me with my strimmer problem, thought it was for the bin. Working as good as ever...thank you 👏🏻
You're welcome!
Thanks Steve. Learning things here I may have never figured out on my own. And saving money.
You're Welcome...
man I tell you I followed the direction in manual and it flooded the engine, came here watched this video BAM! cleared up super awesome thumbs up!!!!
Thank You...
Good stuff! And I was unflooding it by removing the spark and just shaking it outta there LOL.
Years ago in the older cars, they would get flooded. We held the gas pedal to the the floor and kept cranking till I became unflooded. Same principal. Good video for those who don't know what to do. Thanks Steve. Keep up the good videos Ron B Michigan
You're Welcome...
Thanks Steve from a fellow Steve! I think this could've saved my dad (his name is Steve also) a lot of time taking the chainsaw, weed whacka, etc apart and cleaning the carb and spark plug! You da man
You're Welcome...
Thank you a bunch! My husband is pissed at me cuz I flooded it unknowingly when I refilled it with gas and went through the starting procedure not knowing that you don't need to choke a warm engine....as you said. Now I will go out and see if I can get it going..... he told me you had to let it sit over night I knew there had to be a faster way.....Thanks again.
You're Welcome...
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon It didn't work, so we took the spark plug out and blew it off and blew out the hole to dry the gas out, then it turned over once and then nothing. We are going to replace the plug this is a brand new Stihl KM91r. It has less than 10 hours run time on it. Do you think it will help replacing the plug?
How did I not know this ? Thanks for sharing this. I was just about to throw my weedeater in the trash LOL.
You're Welcome...
I am not one to leave reviews...but I just had to leave one for you...OMG...Thank You! Thank you! Thank you! You just saved me from buying a new weed trimmer. By watching this video you said that one of the things needed for it to start is airflow so I took the air filter out (that much needed to be changed) did exactly what you said to do and I was so excited.... it started right up. So awesome! Much appreciated! Thank you Steve!!
Right on Deb! You're Welcome...
