Another great one, Mr. Craig. Since THIS carb has three screws which need to be adjusted correctly, a video of the procedure to set them correctly with the carb mounted on the engine it was taken off of would be appreciated, in case the turn count out and back in is off from screwing out too many turns or not not properly accounting for getting any one of them started in their threads.
I replace most carburetors if they are beyond cleaning or after cleaning with an Ultrasonic cleaner doesnt work. I seldom ever remove welsh plugs because it seldom matters doing that step. If a carburetor is so bad it requires that procedure, that carburetor is beyond saving. I have been working on small engines for 40 years now. When it comes to working on someone else's equipment, its better just to replace the carburetor than have it come back the next season because of reoccurring issues due to corrosion. The fuels sold today can damage the internals on a carburetor so quickly. No amount of cleaning can help once the coating on most carburetors has been damaged. I have not had a come back in years because of my practices.
Will blowing air through the fuel line also blow out the air passages on air filter side as well as the overflow (tiny holes on air intake side of carb) the small holes what would leak gas into air filter if the float needle was stuck open, I had a problem where my air filter fell off and quite large particles of sand got sucked in the tiny holes and now I’m having to run my mixture screw 4 turns out so pretty sure they’re blocked
I've been curious, how would substances like turpentine, WD-40, or ethanol (possibly multiple, such as if WD-40 was used, to rinse it with another substance) work to help clean? It seems to me that as long as one uses very thin solvents and doesn't get any on any gaskets (which might potentially have some sort of adverse effect in some circumstances) that it wouldn't be a problem, just maybe a bit less effective than something else.
Those tools are so easily available and accessible though. If you can afford a strimmer/chainsaw. You can afford a can or carb spray for £3.10 😂 Anyway. Love your videos 🙌
If a screwdriver is special, you better take it to a professional. On another note, some carburetors use JIS screws. A phillips can work, but if they are tight, a phillips screwdriver will strip the heads. I learned that with my Honda Nighthawk. I planned on swapping them with allen head screws anyway.
Excellent video. Have seen a bunch of carb rebuilds videos, but yours is the clearest and best I have seen. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, thanks! I really appreciate it. Craig
You know every detail about lawnmowers and I enjoy watching thankyou .
Thank you so much for the awesome feedback. Craig
Thank you for another very thorough video on carburetor cleaning.
You are welcome! Craig

A very good idea indeed. Thank you for your awesome feedback 👍
Excellent thorough step by step video!

Fair Point!
Agreed!
Excellent video. Love from Bangladesh
Another great video Craig,
Thank you very much..

Maybe so. Thanks
can you clean a two stroke strimmer carburetor without dismantling it
Not really. The essence of the cleaning is the need to clean the small fuel holes inside.
Those tools are so easily available and accessible though.
If you can afford a strimmer/chainsaw. You can afford a can or carb spray for £3.10 😂
Anyway. Love your videos 🙌
I cleaned my ca-baretta yesterday
👍
i opened the carborator from top screws and put in carb cleaner directly i was wrong ??
Well, its usually best to strip down the carb and spray in every little available fuel hole. Then it’s usually considered a better job done 👍
@@TheRepairSpecialist not spray ....i used the cleaner you pour into the fueltank but i poured it into the carb directly
You said no special tools would be required, then you used a screwdriver. Fake news.
Ok LITERAL LENNY!
