[donyboy73]

That little Walbro adjusting tool doesn't look exactly flush to me... is there any way you can measure the exact displacement? Thanks! I terribly appreciate your videos!

where do u get the kits

[donyboy73]

@pito45720 u could get them at mowers4u dot com

Excellent video, your level of explanation is very appropriate for us modest DIYers to get it right. In fact your tip about bending up the metering lever up to enrich the mixture is just what I needed to do to fix my problem. The Walbro kit-supplied part had the lever arm so low that I don't think the needle hardly moved up. When trying to accelerate above idle, the trimmer would die out. Eyeballed lever to above the plane a bit as you show in the video and presto - fixo. Thanks so much.

@bigsteamdave thanks for watching

Hello, geat vids! I have a question, I have a troybilt weedeater with a zama cq1 carb. I cant figure out how to get the adjuster caps off the carb. I tried just pulling on them but no deal. Any ideas? Thanks again for the great vids!!! Chris

[donyboy73]

@axlsavage there's a little retainer around both screw caps that needs to be spread out then pull them off with needle nose pliers

hey dony, great video as always. i have a ryobi leaf blower with a walbro WYC-4 carburetor on it and i cant get it to run right. ive rebuild the carb with new diaphrams, cleaned out all the holes at least 4 times, and cleaned out the fuel lines and replaced the fuel filter. it will run great for like 5 minutes, then it bogs down and dies. it will idle fine, but when i go to rev it up, it stalls and dies.

[donyboy73]

@pivotboy63 turn out the adjusting screws a bit, this will give it more fuel

[pivotboy63]

@donyboy73 theres no adjusting screws on this carb, except for the idle adjustment screw

[axlsavage]

Hello, I rebuilt my carb on my ryobi weedeater. It now will only run at full choke, only idle and no throttle response. Per your vid I bent the metering tang up a little so it would be flush. Maybe I bent too far up? Or could it be something else? Thanks

[donyboy73]

@axlsavage the more u bend it up the richer it should run, i would try to adjust the screws

[seidawe]

thanks for the video its great, is it different Carburetor Kit for each brand or its universal one fit all cause i have Bolens BL100 and i dont know which one to use if u can help me

thanks

[kickedintheballs2000]

Just wanted to say thanks man. My Mom gave me her old Weedeater GTI 17t and I been trying to get that darn thing working for about 2 weeks now, I replaced just about everything on that thing but the carb. So I did a carb rebuild thanks to your video and Bamm got it running pretty damn good again.

Big Thanks man, you helped me out alot and thanks to you I didn't smash the thing into a million pieces lol. Thanks agian.

Mike

[donyboy73]

@kickedintheballs2000 thanks for letting me know that ,

[MrTuckmaster1]

@donyboy73 It works now. I just tighten the lines

[MrTuckmaster1]

MY weed eater will not prime. I can push in the primer button but it will not bring the fuel from the tank to the carb. It is a 2 cycle

[donyboy73]

@MrTuckmaster1 make sure all the fuel lines are tight on the connectors, u may need a new carb kit

[whitwellhigh]

I watched this video because my weed eater would only crank if i let it set for a long time...then die once i had it going within just a few seconds...I followed your video...on the carb to do a rebuild...but i just disassembled mine and cleaned it in gasoline...and make sure not to tear my gaskets...then just blew it out with an air hose...and reassembled it...and mounted it...and it actually runs correctly...Thank You...:)

[ubershot33]

if i empty my gas out before winter and leave it for the whole winter, will the diaphragm dry up? i always thought i would its this true. and how do i keep it from going hard and drying up?

[donyboy73]

@ubershot33 just run it dry before u put it away

[zezbid4]

Hi, I have a craftsman 17"/25b cc, walbro carburetor,, , ITs exactly the same machine as your xt 250,,, so the trimmer does not run, I have already replaced both fuel lines, the primer bulb, the fuel filter,, I cleaned up the carburator part by part,, with W-40, and I actually did the same thing as you did on minute 1:12, applied the gas directly to the carb and it actually runned, but just for 3 seconds and then it stops until I put gas on it again,, ,,so,, NOTHING WORKED,, can you help me?

[donyboy73]

@zezbid4 u need to adjust the carb like in the video

[donyboy73]

@zezbid4 u also may have to replace the diaphragms in the carb

[khariinaction]

Hello can this(K20-WAT) be used for the FLSST25? I am really considering of doing this by myself.

[donyboy73]

@khariinaction if ur carb is a walbro u can, if it's a zama u will need a zama kit. bring ur carb to a small engine shop and buy the right kit

[khariinaction]

Which model Weedeater is this? I would also like to know whether the k10 wat can be used on SST25 Weed eater.

[logan1985]

where do you buy the rebuilding kit? and there some special tool for adjusting the carb to make it lean or rich . where can i get that tool?

[vinceleto]

The carb has no adjustment's except for the idle speed. I can get the machine started with starter fluid but once you hit the trigger it bogs down. I took the carb apart and sprayed it and ran some fine wire through the needle I guess thats what it was. From your past videos I would say I need a diaphram but not sure which one. Where do you buy them? I also will check the exaust and I think I screwed up the primer bulb

[donyboy73]

@vinceleto is it 2 cycle or 4 cycle

[donyboy73]

@terry6512 i usually remove those and adjust the carb then put them back on

[donyboy73]

@terry6512 set the adjusting screw out a bit
