  • Cleaning the carburetor on a Troy-Bilt TB525 4-cycle string trimmer. In a previous video ( • String Trimmer Tune Up ), I gave this string trimmer a tune-up and replaced the deteriorated fuel lines. It still wasn't running as good as it should have, I had to leave the choke on half way for it to be usable. I had a suspicion that pieces of the old fuel line might have made it into the carb. This procedure can be used to clean any small engine carburetor. See the links below for the parts and tools I used:

    You do such a nice job to allow the camera to focus on objects close to the lens, which a lot of people have trouble with. Keep up the great videos!!!

      I really appreciate that comment because autofocus can be a pain sometimes but I try to show the stuff I'd want to see as a viewer. Thanks for watching!

    Thank you sir. I've got multiple gas powered machines that have quit on me and I'm sure that in each case, the carburetor is the culprit. I've been wanting to learn how to clean & fix them for a while now; your video is giving me the confidence to give it a go. Thanks.

    Keep up the great work… video quality, pace, and succinct narration puts your videos in the top 5% of “how to” content on UA-cam. It’s only a matter of time, content, and massive luck until your channel blows up! 😂
    PS I’ve had a similar set of Craftsman drivers for 30 years. Many things diverted from landfill with those tools :-)

    That is the Carburetor that is on my (TB304H 4 stroke.) My problem is one of the 4 screws that hold the trimmer bulb on is loose and will not tighten. My shop I used to order a new carbwas sent the wrong carb. It had 4 hose connections on it. They ordered the other listed part but have not got it in.

    • @Mikeattempts

      It sucks that one of the bulb screw holes is stripped, hopefully they get you the proper replacement this time. Let me know how it goes!

    • @Mikeattempts
      @Mikeattempts  Рік тому

      There were 2 springs in my carburetor but, if you can find a carburetor rebuild kit for your exact model it should include the springs. Sometimes they don't sell carb kits for carburetors this small, and your only option is to buy a whole new carburetor.

      You'll need to look for a model number on the carburetor and see if you can get a rebuild kit. They don't have rebuild kits for some smaller carbs, just a whole replacement carburetor.

    I've got a strange problem with an sgs 5 in 1 tool.Was using it today and this large hedge was kind of awkward and for a brief period i had the motor of the tool upside,it ran ok then started to stutter and break down then wouldn't start!!Now with it being upsude diwn i thought cwr problem maybe a bit of dirt got trapped somewhere,i've taken carb apart and cleaned it twice and it fires for a second like it wants to start but quickly dies.
    I then checked for a spark and i couldn't see anything??Could the sputtering while cutting the hedge just have been the coil breaking down??

    • @Mikeattempts
      @Mikeattempts  Місяць тому

      It sounds like it might have shut off because it wasn't getting enough fuel when it was upside down. Have you tried another spark plug? Pump the primer bulb a bunch to make sure you get all of the air out of the lines before trying to start.

      @@ce9xy So, the carburetor, spark plug, fuel filter, and air filter have all been replaced? If so, the only thing I can think of is that maybe one of the fuel lines is twisted or kinked. That could allow enough fuel to start and idle but not enough to accelerate.
