      A clogged screen would affect it immediately, no need to wait. Have you looked at the tank vent?

    Hey bro, what's up? If im repairing my own equipment, I'll make sure that it's clean and working properly. I'll probably run it for a good ten to fifteen minutes before I'm satisfied with the way that it's supposed to be working.

    Hey, i have a honda gx 35 that i'm trying to start. It came without the carb and the carb mount, so i got a carb that is from a chainsaw and i build a mount to it. When it works, it works very well, but is almost impossible to start. I already tried to ajust the carb and it didn't made a diference, but when i utilized a air filter (sponge) to it it started and run but it never started again. Can you help me?

    • @HomeGaragechannel
      @HomeGaragechannel  День тому

      sure then, get the correct carb and mount for it, otherwise you risk damaging the engine. I like what you did, and if it had worked without any problems then it's a double win. But since you're experiencing problems it's best to but the parts that's supposed to be on it.

    I have essentially the same blower, badged as McCulloch and i’ve always had a hard time getting it to run properly

    • @HomeGaragechannel

      oh I rarely get to work on McCulloch stuff, so hard to find these days. Did you ever replace the carb on it?

  • @YukiNeko-Neko
    @YukiNeko-Neko 4 дні тому

    I suspect the carbon buildup left in the engine by the port could be an issue. It seemed about halfway blocked to me. With that much carbon, I ensure the rings aren't immobilized, check the spark plug for carbon buildup, and ensure the gap is still in spec. If reuse gas filters, I give them a hit with carb cleaner spray in the fuel line to blow out any possible clogged pores. If I can, I let it soak for a bit before that.

    • @HomeGaragechannel
      @HomeGaragechannel  3 дні тому

      thank you for brining the exhaust port. The port has 2 profiles, the opening against the cylinder and the one for the muffler. They are not the same size. The opening on the cylinder side is much smaller.

    Could it possibly need crank seals?

      it if did need them, it wold be unlikely that the engine would even start and run. Although you are the closest one so far to the problem

    Just when you think you've seen it all. Cheap blowers often need an ignition coil.

  • @MarkMeadows90

    I would probably check for compression, clean the carbon out of the exhaust port, check spark plug, and possibly new carb if it still doesn't work after all that.

      not this time. As I was tuning the carb, the blower started to loose power and speed, as if it was loosing power. And when it did stop, the rope was twice as difficult to pull with or without the spark plug in the engine.
