Your videos are not only very informative, but well made also: Clear audio, adequate lighting, great camera angles and close-ups when needed. No 10-minute pep talk/diatribe, no mumbling, no background noise, etc. like so many others.
Great job!
No long goofy introductions, no annoying music!
Thanks! My nearly new MS170 wouldn’t start this spring and the shop asked $155 to install a new carb. I’ll not spend 75% of the new value on a repair! You gave me the confidence to fix it myself.
YES,THIS DONY GUY DOES IT RTGHT.I ALWAYS LOOK AT THIS SITE FIRST WHEN DOING NEW PROJECTS.I HAVE A 180 THAT NEEDS CARB WORK AND THIS IS THE BEST ILLUSTRATION ON YOU TUBE.THANKS DONYBOY78.KEEP POSTING MORE STUFF, WE DONT HAVE SNOW BLOWERS IN SOUTH TEXAS,BUT I WORK ON EVERYTHING ELSE BLOWERS,WEEDEATERS,CHAINSAWS AND LAWN MOWERS.
Hey DonyBoy, I'm working on my MS170 at the very moment... just waiting for my carb kit, gas line and filter to arrive. I'm not a mechanic, but enjoy fixing my own stuff. When you have many piece of machinery, its more practical and efficient to fix it yourself... plus you save money. Because of your proficiency at explaining, well made videos and clear details, I'm able to do fix my own equipment. Thank you so much for helping thousands of people! GREAT JOB!!!
thanks, make sure you're subscribed
Yes thanks but like how do you put it back together? Like jeah its relative simple but these wires is hard to put back . Like what is corret way. I have never done it and cant get back that clever wire what chooce "give more gas or not...
Lol i figure it out
Just listened my girlfriend :D
Just brought my vintage Stihl 009 back to life after watching your vids. Cleaned out carb and reconnected oil pump feed. Many thanks
YOU ARE THE BEST THAT's EVER BEEN! WELL THOUGHT OUT PRESENTATION WITH NO BULLSHIT APPROACH! OUTSTANDING! BUDDY!
This video is still helping people 9.5 years later. Great job! Just saved me a good chunk of cash. Thank you much!
Yes !!!! Drastic needs my 56FSRC is now running right … place to get parts that are actually parts is needed such as these "fuel lines" do deteriorate but now finding parts that are parts is loony → Suggestions wanted
I would like to thank you for your videos. I'm still new to small engine repair, but your videos, (especially in comparison to others) are clear (both in lack of shakiness and wind sound), descriptive and just oh so much more helpful to me. Keep it up! So far you've helped me with a Tecumseh snow blower (carb rebuild), Honda rototiller (camshaft replacement, carb rebuild, new belt), and now a Stihl chainsaw (another carb rebuild, but also found leak in fuel line thanx to this series of videos!)!
+Terri Kubik thanks
Wow, this guy knows what he is doing and explains everything. Excellent.
Hi Don, Can you believe it's been just 3 years since I had problems with my hardly used 170. And today I was cutting, it just idled down and stalled. Now won't start. I've used nothing but canned gas after last time. Weird though, won't start putting fuel right into carb either. Spark s good. Was running great then just slowly died and wont start now. So much for Stihl being so wonderful. Thanks Don. Carb time again.
Thanks a bunch! Made my little stihl 017 run like the beast it is again! Took it apart and cleaned everything, thanks to following your video! Thanks again!
This guy really get's it... great job... all of your videos are tremendous help.. keep them going!!!
Thanks so much! Cleaned my carburetor myself and got my MS180 running again. Great video.
Just fixed my bogging down ms170 with the help of your video...The jet had a tiny bit of crud in it..Your videos are some of the best on UA-cam great camera work, lighting and voiceover..You should be proud of them...Thank you so much
Hi, been watching your Vid's for a few year's now, and they have inspired me to do some repair's myself, but As a result I created a problem (ME) I toke Carb out and Cleaned it replaced Fuel line + filter Black hose and vacuum hose with Tylon yellow hose and new boot to cylinder, all good assembled, ( Light Bulb Moment) Having Two different hoses Less Likely to stuff up placement, WRONG, For some reason I had a brain Fart and put the Black Fuel Line to the Vacuum nipple on carb and the yellow cylinder to hose to the fuel inlet nipple on Carb, I was so happy with my achievement, I put the Plastic together and fueled it up and it started up straight away it needed a bit of fine tuning, but the 395xp was alive This was May 2022, One year later I got saw out of shed to for Firewood season and see ran fine till in the cut and it sounded lean and stalled out repeatedly, lucky I have more than one saw. Yesterday I disassembled again and found the orientation of the hoses to be incorrect and changed but the yellow hose had come of the cylinder port and had melted closed possible small combustion happened there as plastic melt on partition above where hose goes through to Carb. Sorry about the long windedness, but It Now wont Run at all unless with carb sprays help. ANY Help to steer me in right direction? Regards Fred.
Nice video. I would recommend that you clean the exterior area of the carb before any
disassembly/removal of the carb itself. I always spray the complete area thoroughly with cans of brake parts cleaner then use compressed air to complete the cleaning process. This way you are working in a clean environment and much less likely to introduce dirt/debris into the intake port once carb is unbolted.
Thanks for the video !
A great example of why you should never store your small motors with fuel in them or always add fuel stabilizer to them if you absolutely must. I don't know how many lawn mowers and weed wackers I've picked up from the trash that worked perfectly after a simple cleaning of the fuel systems. People would save themselves a lot of troubles just by running them dry before a long storage. Another great vid Dony.
Don,
Fantastic videos - watched all 3. You made my job of rebuilding my 018c quite easy!
Thanks.
Very nice work, looking forward to part 2.
Thank you for explaining things in detail.
Have a Blessed Father's Day!
I've watched your videos on chainsaw repair and saved myself some money and frustration. Thanks!
Thank you. You are a good teacher. My saw will be running because of your kind and clear instruction. George.
Great video! My MS170 developed a fault where the lever assembly had fallen out of its housing. I was struggling to find out where to re-attach the throttle linkage and this vid pinpointed exactly what I needed to do - many thanks!
Oh yeah...I'm taking mine to a repair guy. The video is great....really great and thanks for making it. Now I really appreciate my repair guy and he earns those dollars. I may actually try this when I buy another chainsaw (by the way I really, really like my STIHL and my next chainsaw will be another STIHL). Just a great video.
Thanks donyboy73! This video helped me fix my MS170
You are a very good teacher and you explain everything very well and it allowed me to repair my chainsaw .
Thanks you so much from France .
bonne journée
thank you so much for this video...we were able to take out the carb and clean it out and check all the lines and afterwards the chainsaw started just like the first day we bought it!....very helpful info!....thanks again!
Your videos are super great !!!!
I Thank you a lot, you've encoureged me to disassembly me saw to clean the air condut, i salute you from Lujan ,Argentina
"it's a good idea to wear safety goggles when spraying the carb. you can spray in one hole and it can come out another hole and spray in the eyes. " This is a man of experience and wants to save others the pain. Good shout
donyboy..you are so right ..the fuel screen on the carb should always be removed and cleaned....sometimes they look clean but are clogged up and no fuel will flow or it flows very slowly and produces intermittent running
excellent tip dony
Best I’ve seen.
Fixed the saw, it was just the fuel line...put in a new one with the help of your video. Two cranks and it started right up. I thought I was going to have to replace the carb..thanks.
Everybody should run high test gas in their engines...makes them run better and last longer.
good work!
Smart tutorial. Very thorough. Thank you!
I stripped down and cleaned my carb today and afterwards the saw ran like a top. Thanks for the video, Don. By the way, I solved my previous issue simply by watching the video and carefully remounting the choke shaft with the grounding strap/spring on top of the shaft. That way it grounds out the ignition when the choke lever is moved to the shut down position.
Thanks again.
ok good
There is a paper gasket between the air box and the carburator. I looked over several videos and everybody, it seems, overlooks this gasket. To make sure mine stays affixed to the airbox into put some rtv on the side that goes against the airbox. Air filtration is one of the weaknesses of this model saw, so I make sure any gasket on the carburator is installed. I wish to thank HL Supply for including this gasket in the set of parts I got from them off of ebay.
Saved me $100! Thanks donyboy!
Hey Don, Ironic, just took my 170 carb apart. Can tell I used some dirty gas,,, screen was 2/3s covered with dirt. The company really wants u to buy a new carb,,, dealer says they,, don't sell rebuild kits. Internet here i come. Thanks for the video.
Really good video best explanation. Thanks
I found this great video as well and realised how to release those cap chords
Thank You
Tq sir..i succes changed the fuel pipe..follow ur tutorial..
Donyboy73, your a champ brother, Cheers.
thanks buddy!
Thanks Dony,
Much appreciated. Found what we did wrong. Keep it up. My techs do watch your vids!
What a great video! Thanks donyboy73
Really good and useful video Dony. Thanks
Thank you very much, Very professional, you know your job and you are a very pleasant person.
Your videos are real quality--especially for having been produced and posted a decade ago.
This one did miss a standard courtesy--no quick link to Part II.
You can pin the link as the top Comment OR list it in the Description.
This is a good video. (Incidentally, your voice is very calm and pleasant.)
Well done video, helped me a lot with my 018C...thanks!
Thank you so much for this clear and helpful video! With your help, I just put a new (Chinese knockoff, no doubt, $23 on Amazon) carb in my 180C that has been giving me no end of trouble, I assume, because of the ethanol in the gas. It started right up and ran great! From now on I'll use super premium gas and put in anti-ethanol additive.
" This would have to be the Absolute Best Quality Video I have seen on UA-cam , bar none !! ..... Very clearly spoken , Very Good level of Instruction , and amount of detail , and Well paced. .... As for the Stability of the Video , the Brilliant ! Brilliant close up detail , Unbelievable !! .... It's like WE are there doing the Actual Work. ...... I would be interested to know what sort of Camera / Set-Up You are using. ... Maybe You have missed Your Calling ! .... You should be doing UA-cam Instructional Videos , on how to make Brilliant UA-cam Videos !! .... Thank-You for Your Efforts !!
My Hero......such a clever!
Awesome video, very detailed thank You!!
Thanks for a great video, got me through my rebuild.
Excellent video again, Dony. Thank you!
Best regards,
p.w. from Finland.
Thanks for posting this video. I have an issue with my MS170 where it wont run at wide open throttle, and it seems I have a restriction in my fuel delivery system. I inherited it from my father, and when I got it it didnt run, so I drained it, cleaned the tank out as best I could and I was able to get it running. Its been great since then, of course the saw ran last time I used it, but I went to use it last night and it would bog out at WOT. If I sprayed ether into it, it would run at WOT, which is telling me its a fuel delivery issue. Logic says the first step would be to check the fuel filter/line. I was a bit worried about going into the carb just due to how small it is, but you really showed how simple and easy it is and Im not worried about rebuilding/replacing the carb if I had to. So again, thank you much.
I cannot thank you enough. Great video and tutorial.
I want to thank you for this set of vids. I just bought a used 018c Stihl and wanted to rebuild the carb. Your vid made it super easy, funny thing is I had to wind up replacing the fuel line also. Thanks again
+C Ray you're welcome
+donyboy73
Do you have any chain sharpening videos?
+C Ray here's one but I need to redo it in HD ua-cam.com/video/-PTXj1VIlbc/v-deo.html
Great learning video. My Stihl ms180 would not start. Too lazy to trouble shoot so I Spent $43 on a new carb , fuel line, ignition module, spark plug and T27 driver. Started on second pull . Idles and runs like a champ. Will rebuild carb for next time. Non ethanol only!
Your videos are the best , by far .
Excellent VIDEO thank you
MOST EXCELLENT...!
잘보았습니다.
고생하세요
@phunkyboee thanks for watching, tell ur friends about my videos
Thanks! Still on my 2 stihl's carbs and I even clean out the mufflers and vents.
Thank you very much for your video! Greetings from Argentina!
greetings from Canada
thanks dony! got me thru my rebuild..
I found what's wrong with the chainsaw, as much as it sounds crazy at least for me, it was the spark plug. I change it with beater one NGK and it's working like a charm. Maybe when I crank it produce good spark, but when actually running something happens to it and doesn't work. By the way thank for the help and keep up good work. :)
Great video- thanks!
Cool video dude
Really helpful - Thank you!
Excellent! Thank you 👍⭐️
First class videos. Thanks
Excellent Video......Good stuff, helped me alot. Glad to see you put the rubber gloves on, a good idea to have them on from the getgo.
check for spark when it dies. sometimes the coil will produce spark when spark cold but not when warm, if it's new then return it
thanks man helped alot .
very good job!!ty
BEAUTIFULL< GOOD JOB
Obrigado amigo pela dica
thanks
Very nice and sound presentation cordially done
Thanks a lot for this! Now it runs fina again :-)
sweet video i did somthing similar with the pb engine magneto using the card trick worked great .when part 2 coming out cant wait
nice presentation
Hi, Thanks for this. It is so clear and well presented. Great teacher.
Very good video!!! Thank you :-)
Thanks for this video.
TOP NOTCH I INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO SIR THANKYOU
thanks for the sub
@schark30 yes but you have to have a receipt
Donyboy - when replacing the fuel line in an 026 or MS260, does the arrow on the upper portion of the of the gasket seat point toward the engine, or to the left (fuel door)?
Thx
@mikocoon I've used one at work. They are excellent tools, but extremely expensive for a home setup, most I see are around $1000. That's a LOT of cans of carb clean.
I really like your teaching style and I have learned quite a bit from you. I have a MS170 second-hand to me, which starts nicely but only cuts about an inch before it runs out of power. Using your video I took it apart and cleaned the carburetor. I noticed right off that the fuel line was folded back on itself. The carburetor and fuel line look new so I put everything back together. Starts up fine but only cuts an inch or less. Is something not engaging properly? Thanks, could sure use some help.
BRILLIANT
Great vid... no one else showed changing the filter line inside the tank... for some reason, mine was fuel starved, so when I checked the filter, the line inside the tank was a shriveled up gooey mess, virtually unrecognizable; like an Earthworm that's been sitting in the Sun for a few days... I have no idea what happened... it was put up drained of fuel 5 yrs ago.
love your vids watch all the time
thank you
Thanks for your video, as you had shown it was the filter screen that was plugged.
It looked like very fine saw dust in the screen ?
Dude, you rock! I diagnosed my chainsaw issues as a worn/collapsing fuel line as you show in your video. It would idle, but as soon as I started to cut it would die from fuel starvation.
I got a new line and filter for $12 and with your excellent video was able to replace both and restore my MS170 to perfect health in about 30 minutes. Where do I send my check?
lol, please subscribe and tell your friends
Great explanation
Hi Dony. Thanks for your videos, are very helpful. Well I need your advice. I have a Makita DCS34, the matter is that the chain keeps turning on idle speed, I adjusted the L screw, the H screw the idle screw, the engine runs great, I already check for air leaks on the fuel lines, the spark plug is properly tighten, the four cylinder bolts are properly tighten, I also replace the clutch. Finally I decided to tear down the engine and I found out that the crankshaft bearings are loose into the crankshaft, they freely move into the shaft, I think that's abnormal. But the ball bearings are in good condition, it seems that the crankshaft got thiner. The cylinder looks great, piston and piston ring too. The chainsaw has 160 psi. My client told me that he used the saw so hard, the engine cover was burnt I replace the engine cover, but I think it's dangerous to try the saw this way. I have 8 years of experience in small engines and I never saw something like that. Sorry for my poor english level, I'm from Mexico (Teotihuacan) and I really admire you. I hope you can reply and give me ideas. Thank you.
Hey Donyboy73, awesome videos, but I have a question. I followed this series step by step on my Stihl MS170. Now the saw has a very hard time starting cold? It wont start unless you pour a bit of fuel down the carb but is fine after that. It has a new OEM STIHL carb kit, fuel line, air filter, spark plug. and the muffler is not clogged.
