    This video should be required viewing for all High School students. Everyone should know these principles. They were presented in a clear, concise and easy to understand form. Thank you.

    This is of course the correct way to do it. Dang it if EVERY time I have a machine go down in the field, it is some obscure, deep hidden glitch. "The most common..." does not seem to apply in the real world.

    I love how he used Carb Cleaner as Starter Fluid. Learn something everyday.

      @kittylovermybut 8 лет назад +14

      +1487G Yeah the active ingredient in Carb Cleaner is Heptane. Its pretty darn close to the active ingredient in modern starting fluid and it will get you out of a pinch. PB's rust buster also works. Never use WD-40 though.

    Hey Mark,
    Dont forget the kill switch wire that goes to the coil,Ive sometimes had those ground out making it seem like a bad coil,And sometimes the kill switch itself will be bad.

    Thank you, this video was VERY clear and simple to follow. I've worked on my cars and on my bikes (very complicated!) and in my many years of doing lawn maintenance I've been hesitant to bother working on my equipment. Tbh, it was a huge job on my V4 Magna that convinced me a small 2 stroke was simple by comparison. :)

    It sounds like there is still some debris in the carb. If you can get your hands on an ultrasonic cleaner they do wonders to clean stubborn carbs. You can also try using fishing line to clean the small passages in the carb. Never use anything metal though to clean. The metal will damage the fine passages and the carb will not work properly afterward.
    I hope this helps,
    -Mark

      Pat Nugent Since retiring, I have been fixing things that are broken. My sons are supplying me with various tools they own. Chainsaws, air compressors, weed eaters. I helped my oldest son fix an electric dryer and when he saw how simple it was, he has helped fix a couple for his friends. With the new smart phones (I don't own one) you can just get on RUclips and punch in an appliance and most likely they have a video that will diagnose and tell you how to repair it, while you are standing next to the appliance, it is amazing! I fixed a non-working NuWave oven (cost $150) for less than two dollars!! Amazes me how many people throw things away that are fairly simple to fix. But I realize not everyone has the same interest or talents.
