Thanks, mate! Whenever I replace 2-stroke carbs in any equipment, the linkage presents the most difficulties. Your walk-through was clear and concise, so thanks again!
Tuning by ear is a scary thing for me I'm considering getting a tac to be sure . Good job tho .be warned small engine mechanics is very addictive but gives you a new kinda confidence and a great understanding of your tools
I rebuilt my carb for the first time on my 435. Couldn't find an OEM Zama C1T so I took mine apart and meticulously cleaned it. All because I forgot to empty the fuel from last time I used the saw. Now I only use premixed 50:1 fuel and it starts and runs way better. Thanks for your video!
Got a 372xp last week putting a new meteor piston in it over the next few days can't wait . My plan is to learn 372xp and 346xp inside out and have several spares .
Yeah always poor the fuel out unless Ur using it the next day. That's how u can clog up the carb. Good job maybe a bit more on the high jet and she should be set.
@@WoolysWorld but you still had bad fuel in the filter, fuel lines and carberator that doesn't get removed just by dumping out the bad fuel. After dumping the bad gas. Purge the bad fuel mixture out of the fuel supply lines and always change the filter before putting new batch of fuel mixture (always use non ethanol fuel) back into your unit. After done all of that you'll still need to pull through to flush all of the remaining traces of that bad fuel left in the fuel supply lines and carburetor. Ethenol fuel will destroy your fuel lines, cylinder, piston and carberator.
I use a stick to fish some dental floss through the hole in the gas tank so I can pull the new fuel line through the hole without having to take the whole thing apart.
greetings from Germany .. problem most likly is and was the Fuel, not only seperates the Oil, also if the Machine is not used for a while, the Membrans of the Carb hardened for wich the Pump in the Carb dont work as it should .. 2 options that it not habben anymore .. first: mix with the green Oil from Stihl, it is for longer not using the Saw .. second Option: use alkylate gasoline (like Shell Motomix or Aspen 2) .. no mixing at all, usable up to 5 Years, carb needs to be adjusted for it and if you swich from normal Gas to it, renew Carb Membrans and Gasoline-Pipes .. because Benzene washes out and replaces the Softener (also the reson why it failed in first place after standing to long, not a problem with alkylate gasoline)
The diaphragm is actually the metering. The pump are those flaps on the other end. But these carburetors are...different...no diaphragm. Different from the typical single barrel carbs. I gave up and purchased a couple new ones. Time is more valuable than cash...if it's available. OOps! I need to rephrase this. The pump does have have a diaphragm. I tend to picture the round, metal reinforced metering diaphragm...being a round circle...the pump is what ever shape that is. I have always pictured a circle when the term diaphragm is mentioned. hmm.... But yeah, your right. those get stiff and no phragming or insufficient volume offset. ...What? oh... uhm the typo "habben". It's suppose to be "happen". Or wait...wait,wait. I'm sorry. Must be just an accent...🤔
A little bit! I guess some peoples idea of a "bit" is not universal. Any ways, I found...noticed...discovered...deeply feel... that removing that primer bulb, makes the choke/air filter assembly a bit more cooperative...especially when inserting that peg into it's "cushion hole". Yeah, I noticed that part of the reassembly was...uhm...edited out. Very frustrating. And I have two of these chainsaws. Finally put a new carburetor on...the one I finished cleaning first. WOuld not start. Used a drill...checked the spark, fuel, fuel lines, new plug...even checked the spark arrestor screen on the exhaust...would not even hickup. Came back 4 hours later, pulled the cord a few times and a hick'... a couple more times and up comes the RPMs. had the idle set hiGH. Tuned the adjusters, shut it off to put on the bar and chain and...would not start again. I am convinced now that I inherited a 2 stroke engine gremlin about a year ago...They do exist...I just have to find where its been hiding in the barn. Traps don't work on gremlins...they always malfunction.

My pleasure, I was completely making it up as I went along
@@WoolysWorld Ya nailed it, though! Great stuff! Cheers!
@markh.2899 cheers buddy
We!!!On!!!Nice 😊🤠👌🤙do the low bring the high up Sort out the low, you’ll hear the difference when running and then a little bit on the high
Cheers buddy, I think I need to sort the idle first
Well done Wooly.
Cheers Tom
Very helpful thank you 😊
My pleasure buddy

What's a tach ? Yeah it's a learning curve alright
@@WoolysWorld chainsaw chainsaw tachometer you can tune to perfection with them
@stephenbyrne8357 wow, sounds great
Clean the spark arrestor? The high speed adjustment needs work. Also, disassemble the air cleaner and blow out debris under low pressure.
Cheers Don, I'll have a look

@dondonaldson1684 my pleasure, I'm only learning about saws,
Got a 372xp last week putting a new meteor piston in it over the next few days can't wait . My plan is to learn 372xp and 346xp inside out and have several spares .
Excellent stuff, hope it goes well

Cheers buddy, yeah I've a bit to go with the carb setting
Stihl frosty.
Good man bud
Very, very helpful! Did you use the fiber gasket that came with the carb kit? Thanks.
I just replaced the whole unit
The water at the bottom of your fuel was the problem with your saw.
I had the same problems with fresh fuel

Nice

Nice Idea
No new gasket?
No, does it need one
435 low 2 turns and high 2 1/2 turns puts you really close.
Cheers buddy

Wish I could actually see what he was doing but all I can see is his hand and the handle.
Sorry buddy, a challenging video to shoot
