Won’t start? Check crankshaft and seal.
If your blower is not starting, vibrating, or loosing power then check the crankshaft. Wiggle the flywheel and if there is play then the bearing and crankcase are worn. New short block needed. If you see oil around the crankshaft then this indicates an air leak around the seal or bearing and it’s causing low power.

Excessive oil in engine? Don’t twist the cap in when filling.
Переглядів 14 тис.2 місяці тому
When adding oil to your engine you can use both sides of the plugs. Don’t thread the cap in to check for oil level. Don’t tip the engine to add oil as this can add excessive amount of oil and can cause engine failure.
Warranty denied! Engine overheated due to lack of oil
Переглядів 19 тис.2 місяці тому
If your engine is not working and your technician denies the warranty, this is why. If there are metal shavings, score marks around the piston and crankshaft and there is a deep blue color around certain parts, then that indicates lack of oil and overheating.
Smoking engine? Check piston and rings for excessive play.
Переглядів 13 тис.2 місяці тому
If your engine is smoking check the piston for excessive play. Remove the cylinder head and rock the piston back and forth. There should be some resistance but if you see major play then get the engine specs and find the tolerance to measure the rings, piston and cylinder.
Testing flywheel magnets
Переглядів 12 тис.2 місяці тому
If you want to test the flywheel magnets put a 1” socket or a screwdriver with the handle point up and see if it holds. If it falls then the magnets need replacing due to lack of strength.
Testing a battery with a battery and load tester.
Переглядів 8 тис.4 місяці тому
To test a battery with a battery tester connect the cables to the battery. If the battery does not show around 12.5von a 12v battery then charge it. If it still doesn’t read 12.5v then replace the battery. Press the load button to load test the battery for no more than 10 seconds. If it does not read green where the cold cranking apps represent your battery then the battery is bad.
Connect a voltage regulator
Переглядів 4,6 тис.4 місяці тому
To connect a voltage regulator plug the 2 like wires from the stator to the ac pins. Connect the positive cable to the B pin. If you can’t see any markings on the regulator then the pins that are connected together are the ac pins. Connect the ground cable to the frame of the regulator.
Installing fuel pump
Переглядів 32 тис.4 місяці тому
To install a fuel pump check the engravings on each inlet. One has a “P” for pressure which is the hose coming from the engine. The other is an arrow pointing inward which is the line coming from the fuel tank. The other is an arrow pointing outward which is the line going to the carburetor.
Detach stator from rotor on a generator
Переглядів 8 тис.4 місяці тому
To detach a stator from a rotor on a generator the best way is to use a puller. Lubricate the bearing and gently begin to tighten. If you don’t want to damage the threads then screw a bolt in and use it as leverage. Be careful not to damage the windings on the stator and rotor when pulling splitting it apart.
Engine won’t start? This could be why.
Переглядів 12 тис.4 місяці тому
If your engine won’t start or is hard to pull check your camshaft. The tappets ride on the camshaft and for a split second the camshaft opens the exhaust valve to allow for easy start. If the camshaft is stuck or broken, then replace it.
Pressure washer safety valve or thermal valve
Переглядів 1 тис.4 місяці тому
What’s the difference between thermal relief valve and safety release valve? Thermal valve opens up when it reaches a specific temperature and closes back up when it goes below the specific temperature. This is usually 145 degrees. The safety valve opens up on psi pressure and releases water when it reaches it. Some valves are adjustable and should be done with caution.
Adjust safety relief valve
Переглядів 6 тис.4 місяці тому
If the safety relief valve is releasing water from your pressure washer then adjust the valve. Make sure the valve does not exceed the pumps psi capability. Turn it clockwise to increase the pressure and release water at a lower psi and turn it counterclockwise to increase the psi. Do this while spraying water.
Replace thermal relief valve!
Переглядів 9 тис.4 місяці тому
If your pressure washer is leaking from the thermal relief valve replace it immediately. This is due to not spraying water while the unit is on. Once the temperature reaches about 145 degrees the valve opens and allows cold water to enter the pump and cool it again.
Adjust pressure washer soap dispenser
Переглядів 1,9 тис.4 місяці тому
To adjust the flow of chemical on your pressure washer you need to install an adjustable chemical soap injector. Turn the knob to the plus sign to increase and to the minus sign to decrease the gallons per minute rate. Don’t forget to use the low pressure nozzle.
Need Stihl Parts? Find the serial number
Переглядів 3,9 тис.11 місяців тому
If you need parts for your Stihl MS180 chainsaw then look for the serial number and use that to get the correct parts. There are only 2 locations, one is a tag under the muffler and another is engraved on the base underneath the muffler.
i.. dont think you should be doing that
Thank you for this video! By Gods grace, this video aided me in starting a motorcycle. I checked the spark plug, and ignition coil per the steps shown. Initially i thought i needed a new ignition, then decided to trace the wires from the ignition further through the bike. Found a split wire. Spliced it back together, voila!
Thanks for watching.
Tank gets full of air but I can't used it doesn't wantto put air on my tires
What?
What? What?
But if a cable is connected to the solenoid does that mean the solenoid is bypassed?
Hi , where did you get your testing wire?
That is connecting them in ceres... not parallel
Mine has to be in run and throttle wide open
Mine doesn’t have screws
I'm brand new to chainsaws, and I understand it can't be put on backwards, but other than that, I'm mystified as to how to accomplish that. What constitutes backwards, and how would you even put it on backwards if you wanted to?
Hey question so i have a 2013 f150 ecoboost and the ground solenoid wont crank the starter when the wire is connected neither will a ground cable from jumper cables but if i connect the ground cable from the jumper cables onto the metal of the starter it cranks just fine
Please explain these for me how do I contact you privately maybe on WhatsApp
Yes, & if you get a replacement starter these days, test it before installing. New don't mean good. Save you pulling it back off.
that would shortcircuit and you get spark. where all carged volts go. to skrewdriver? air?or that spark? i would not do it. it explode it plug it wrong wat hahaha
What?!?!?!? Is this English?
When is doesn’t work?
Then you probably have a different issue. This is mostly when the engine is flooded.
DAMN! It works!
Been trying to start for last 30-40 mins with breaks in between, watched this video now it’s running and clearing out the smoke as you said. Awesome. THANK YOU SIR!!
Thanks for watching
Brand new MS311 saw from the dealership. Only started once there and run ONE TIME at my house and I just tried this method 100 consecutive pulls and nothing.....
You’re doing it wrong. 😂😂😂 Worked for EVERYONE else, except YOU.
@@coewhat it worked for me on the 101st pull. 🤣😂
😆
Better to use the flywheel nut and flip it, screw on until the crank threads almost come through and tap that instead of the flywheel itself while prying gently on the back
2 pluks are whates even if i change doing same thing what is the couse
2 pluks are whates even if i change doing same thing what is the couse
2 pluks are whates even if i change doing same thing what is the couse
What???!?!?!?
2 of them are white even if i change .doing same thing
If there is ah spark or if there is no spark. I cant understand him because he running his words together
What do you think I’m saying? If you had one chance or else you would cease to exist. What do you think I am saying?
@@10minutefix You're talking to fast. I heard u say no earlier in the video but when I think you're saying no spark, it's not as clear as when you used no the 1st time. I just can't understand you once your words get to flowing. I got stuck between "IF there is a spark or if there is no spark" I played it probably 20 times and still don't get it
Thanks 👍 so much
Did he say grab a "no good spark plug" or "grab an ole good spark plug" lol im trying to learn and im not sure
Well what do you think I said. Use as much logic as you can. What is the most logical thing I probably said.
@@10minutefix if I knew I wouldn't of asked asswipe.
@@10minutefix well for one, when making a video educating people you could try speaking clearly. Or you could of just answered the question. Asswipe
Clean spark plag , don't replace it. Rub the black side and make it clean
No. Replace it.
You must mentioned pump type
Most pumps have similar setup.
Maybe the charger is designed to not change dangerous batteries 😂
Hey everybody!!! This guy calls the chisels cutters!!!
Hey everybody!!! I did.
Here I am stressing out after I buy a group of chainsaws in the main one being a ms361 and I thought it had no compression. So I checked the Piston through the muffler and it looks brand new so I was lost. And then did 3 hours of research until I found this video. Thank you!!!😅
Thanks for watching.
36 ohm work ya no work
Boil the hell out of it and put a light bulb on it to draw
The true meaning of Ef! Around and find out. Stupid idea but by all means if your broke then take another chance you already had
Worked great on my stihl MS291
Thanks for watching
No. Don't short a capacitor, use a resistor or something. You also forgot to check its ESR. Also one small mistake, you said "you have to know your uF value", simply say its value.
So don’t say “get my car keys” just say “get my keys”. Didn’t know that was a gross problem.
What is the in put voltage for portable genrater230 volt
Avr
R in put votage for avr 230 volt
I’m sorry. I dont understand the question. Can you clarify?
What charging method do you use on these...agm or normal on the charger? I have these batteries for a kids car
Honestly I have a charger that does it automatically. I am unable to choose.
Who just has reversible pliers
What is the socket size
I don’t recall what size that was for that specific engine. Sorry.
@@10minutefix ok thanks for the video
This is false information lol how about the stator or pickup coil or cdi box this is just dumb simple information
You are such an idiot why not explain yourself you stupid moron.
Don't forget to check continuity between the stator winding and chasis ground. Should be open. Thanks for the video sir.
Correct. Thank you for watching.
Its not pressure its pluse
You’re correct. I got used to saying pressure. Thanks.
That's why I hold onto my 20 year old battery chager!
After watching four other videos blaming bad fuel this actually worked ! Thanks heaps ! 😊
Thanks for watching
Lmao stupidity at its finest string tired af thats not how you un flood a engine you simply let it sit for 10 minutes this is just beating the saw up aittin there pullin it lmao i build for a living yall need to chill with this pull till it starts thats not unfloodin thats forcing it lmao wow
Thanks i was killing my self almost had the whole thing apart😂
😆 thanks for watching
Wait a sec…
Ok. I’ve been waiting for a day.
I watched a ridiculous way to load the string and thought surely there is a better or right way. Wasn’t disappointed when I came across this video. Many thanks
Thanks a lot for watching.
I think i saw the same crap
Very dangerous!
How so?
I want to learn. How is it dangerous?
