A bonus Taryl video in the middle of the week! Today is a good day.
Well said, i am used to only sunday morning videos
I bought a generator with a Tecumseh engine on it. Like this saw, it would only run for a couple of minutes, then die. I took the carb off, and because I watch Taryl videos, I checked the vent hole on the side of the carb like Taryl taught me. Guess what, NO HOLE. I drilled a small hole and it has run good ever since. Thanks Taryl.
Ever since? The videos has been out 20 hours since you commented
Maybe not referring to this specific video.
Exactly, referring to watching Taryl over many years.@@budgillett9627
Well the main reason it wouldn't run like it should is the fact that it's a Tecumseh engine they are nothing but junk
@@billyjackson5799 Yeah, junk. I have a couple that are over 25years old. Still run great
Companies need to be more like you taryl your a good guy man you don't rip people off. Thanks for the video brother.
Honest mechanics stay in business.
If you wanna rip people of become a realtor, it’s legal theft.
Hes like me. Its why i cant ever make any money. Hook people up at my expense and they still think they got screwed anyway and i didnt even make money. In fact,i spent money.
@@Sundog0811 Best comment so far. I think a lot of us have the same syndrome going on.
@@Sundog0811Taryl seems to be doing just fine, maybe it’s you.
Taryl, you're a good dude looking out for your customers. Businesses that treat customers well are a rarity today.
I was a service tech at the big orange box's rental center. I opened up over 100 of the Makitas because that's what we rented and I'm very impressed and comforted by your diagnostic procedure. You're right, most people would overlook this, but it's the kind of person that's a little bit sick in the head that needs to figure this out for their own benefit, and speaking as one of those individuals, I'm Glad that you shared this with the rest of the class.
That's integrity, Taryl taking care of his customer and didn't have to. Nice work.
Taryl, I knew where this video was going when you opened up the carb for the second time and it was dry. I had basically the same problem on a Stihl BG86 blower. Idiot me at one time used some rtv on either the isolator block to cylinder gasket or the isolator to carb gasket and a small piece of cured rtv ended up partially blocking the impulse hole in the isolator block. It was months after I initially used the rtv. I used this blower almost daily at my business so it took a few hours of use for this rtv to drive me nuts. Some days it would run and not so good on other days. I don't how many times I had it apart until I finally figured it out. I'll never forget that and I'll never use rtv on an intake gasket ever again. I think I had a torn gasket and that was my quick fix. Cost me hrs but I was determined to figure it out. Some things you never forget. Thanks for the videos!
This issue is exactly why I’ve Never used rtv. Indian Head gasket sealer has always been my go-to.
Those lessons learned like that R what I call money in the bank. And many of us have that cash on hand!!!
Don't fret Taryl - in the upcoming economic climate, the skills of somebody like you will be increasingly appreciated by your community. We certainly all do out in youtube land. Keep up the good work. The right thing is not always the most profitable - but you sleep easy at night knowing you delivered value and you enjoyed the technical challenge.
Your approach is so logical I've learnt quite a lot things without any elbow grease. Yet when my Partner 370 had its hiccup and hate towards me, I knew what to do and taught it a lesson. Now it sings, now it dances, and eats wood on my command. You are very needed in this idiocracy, thanks for showing everything clearly and for all the comments, they are a gold vein.
Love the channel Taryl!! You have given me the confidence to work on my own equipment. It's like you have said, "It's just lawn equipment, it's not the space shuttle!" Thanks Taryl!!
Hey Taryl,
Tim here, yea brother, b'cuz ur knowledgeable, and inquisitive, YOU found it, but here's another example of a company NOT makin sure stuffs right......casting flaw, or whatever, its WHY i love ur chanel so much, ur fun, smart, and find anomolies on various equip.....cuz YOU love an ICE as much as i do!!!......NICE CATCH!!! (like u just reeled in a big Bass from the lake).....I AM A PROUD GRASS RAT FOLKS, AND THIS IS WHY!!!....TARYL IS ABOVE Joe Shmoe small engine repair, HE'S A GURU!!!...enjoyed it brother!!!..TY!!!
When I fix mowers for people I don't get paid nearly for my time in my area big small engine shops charge $80 and hour plus, and some of them up charge parts. I feel sorry for people having to pay so much so I try to save them money when I can and I work on most small engines because other shops don't repair them.
It sux to have to cover that time when the problem was a defective saw, but that customer will never forget the support you gave him and tell others. It may not add up to $$, but it's how it should be. And you made this great video to help all of us!
My brother bought a stihl weed eater that would only run with the choke on, dealer said it was his gas and didn't fix it. I had another one that ran ok, so I switched carbs and then it ran fine, to make the story short I found his carb came with the wrong jets in the carb, it was set up for high altitude,got the correct jet, problem fixed. Dealers are worthless sometimes.
Brilliant Taryl. You get a great sense of satisfaction if nothing else. If I was your customer and saw that video I would say charge what it cost in respect of your skills. I would have asked you to do it so unless there was some kind of limit placed or sometimes you check with the customer about going ahead. But you have earned your money and deserve to be paid. When I took over a company years ago I asked the old chief engineer if he would come back and help. He refused, I asked why, and he said because that last person that had the company never paid him. I said how much are your owed. He gave me the cost and i doubled it and put the check in a company mug and sent it to him. That man saved me so much money with his knowledge I got paid paid back many times over. His knowledge and was just invaluable to restarting the company.
What a great diagnosis Taryl. You are correct that would be a tough problem to find. Great Great Video !!!! I have learned so much from your videos, also you are the inspiration for me starting our UA-cam channel. Thanks so much for all yall's hard work.
I feel your pain Taryl, working in IT for many years and doing a full service call to fix a typo in an email address is hard to justify the cost.
Show him the video. If I was him, I'd buy you a nice steak dinner 🥩🥔 That was a great find! I've never seen that little pressure tester. But, I don't work on 2 stroke crap either. Unless it is mine 😂
Taryl, great example of problem solving. I can top you though...
Years ago we were running a completion in a well offshore, at $100,000/day running costs. We got the completion in place and went to set the packer that seals off the well. It didn't set...we tried and tried and trieed. Finally pulled the completion and put on a new packer, reran everything, and got the packer to set and seal off the well. Lets say 5 days of lost time ($500,000) on a $15,000 packer failure. Turns out they had not drilled the hole that goes to the setting port that activates the packer. So it never felt any pressure we were applying. How it got through the manufacturing QA process is still a mystery. But they did not charge us for the two packers so we did save $30,000 out of more than $500,000 lost.
One respectable man! He's teaching more than just how to fix something.
He's teaching how to diagnose a problem. All they teach nowadays is just how to replace a part without finding out what the exact problem is. It's called 'problem solving'.
IT had been used enough to wear the paint off the bar. We are Watching so no need to repeat so much. Great Find, Great Fix. Only You would have ever found that.
You're right, very few if any, would find that. You may not like the hand held stuff, but you're good at fixin' it! Great video!
He is, because he takes the time to diagnose the issue. Keyword "patience" with a bit of determination.
I love when all us Grass Rats gather 'round for story time!
It's right up there with Service Bulletin Classics!
So, if you hadn't pulled the plug, which you don't normally do (:06:48), you still wouldn't have known what the problem was? Man, you ARE a . . . well, I guess a Chainsaw Detective! I know it must have been frustrating but its helpful to me and I do learn stuff!!! And I have more fun than a clown car full of cheerleaders! 🎉 Thanks!
Diagnosis is key to fixing little two strokes. I had a saw brought to me because the shop turned it away saying it would be cheaper to buy a new saw! Now you see why.
Lucky for the owner I've now got the time to spend fixing it.
you gotta a lotta nerve sellin' a Dolmar with a semi-plugged impulse hose 'Dactyl.
I know of a couple of shops that won't even talk about working on most 2 cycle equipment..so i get to work on them some can take up to 4 hours depending on what i find.. I'm about to start turning them down...takes too much time and I'm losing money as well..i miss mc collough..they were easy...and yeah this was fun.. cheers friend 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
I had a Stihl BG72 with 4 different air leaks, case gasket, intake gasket and both crank seals were leaking. I sprayed soapy water all of the engine under pressure and found all the leaks. It a good thing I did because it was multiple leaks.
There's our lesson📚 and dinner 🍟🥤🍔 for today 🫵‼️.
Same kind of thing happened with the old McCulloch top handle saws you had to pull the whole thing apart to get to the carburetor
I worked at both Dolmar and Stihl dealers. Dolmar at one time was rated the number one saw in the world except the USA. If I had a choice to buy it would be Dolmar/Makita 1st and Echo second. Spending dollar for dollar Stihl had too many issues. I never owned a Stihl product and don't want to. Over engineered and parts overpriced.
I have 3 Dolmar saws and they are great! But getting worried about parts support as they no longer produce them.
I'd find it. I have block off plates for many different saws and i pressure test everything after ruling out carb and ignition. A pressure tester and a bottle of soapy water will find the tiniest leak. At least that's how i do it. Thanks Taryl.
What a crazy problem. Loved your walkthrough of finding it.. in the beginning I was thinking crank seal not installed properly at the factory. I’ve seen that before. But this was new to me. Thanks Taryl
Taryl, Taryl tell me another story, tell me another story!!!
Hey Taryl,
Tim here again, you covered under YOUR warranty cuz its BETTER than the manf. warranty!!!...cuz UR a stand up individual!!!...SO PROUD of you!!!..we gotta look ourselves in the mirror.....di we do good ar did we SHEIST someone......i WONT live that way, i GIVE A CRAP, about what i do, how i do it, And i cut slack for good folk whenever i can....THATS BEIN A TRUE AMERICAN!!!....ok, sorry to blab so much, PEACE to you sir!!
Yeah, that sounds fair to me. I have to mention the sound effects. Someone is spending some good amount of time and effort to do an amazing job with all the little sounds we hear on all the videos. My hat is off to whoever does them. They are excellent.
Wut gauge toof fross y'all use? Me spectacless are blurry. lol. Strentgh! GODspeed!
Nice catch ! We’ve seen some of the Chinesium rubber impulse lines full of Schmutz causing the same no fuel condition! Thanks for sharing!
WoW!! You really bought us our dinner today!! Thanks !!!
I wonder how many other Dolamars didn't get that hole to the transfer ports connected
LOVE TARYL's Rendition of a DIEn' SAW...."BOH-BOHH-BOHHH"🤣..."NOW,... THERE's-YOUR-DINNER"!!!🗣️
I know you say you don't like working on them but I enjoy your videos on hand held equipment like chainsaws and hedge trimmers.
Please do more 😂😂
Watch out for the accelerator pump o-ring on small equipment, the pump fuel will eat them up, then you have an internal air leak. Will never get it to run right, most people change the whole carburetor.
Taryl the “Chainsaw MASTER “!!! Didn’t even Break a Sweat !!!! Child’s Play !!!!!!
LMAO, you sold it to him. Had a brand new MS 170 that wouldn't oil once, I was doing small engine repair at United rentals, found it had been double plugged in one of the oil gallery's, drilled it out with a tiny ass drill bit and used a tiny ass long screw to pull the plug, worked like a charm after that.
God bless you my brother and husband go through this all the time your the last of a breed thank you for the video!!
You’re a good man Taryl, I know if I’m working on a difficult diagnostic problem I have to find that problem, otherwise it will keep me awake at night, maybe it’s just professional pride 😂 great diagnostic work as usual 👍
Me too. I won’t let it defeat me.
Persistence, plus an education finding the issue.
Thank u for posting viedo taryl
You're an Angel Taryl! And it is a lot of fun watching your videos!
You just proved once again that you don’t always have to go to the beach to get your butt burned. Have a great day. Tom
So there goes your dinner.
Nice FindTaryl I Love Working On 2 Stroke Equipment I Tear Them Down Like That All The Time And Love It 😊❤️❤️😊😇 I Work In Stihl Husqvarna Echo Heaven 😇😇😇 Concrete CutQuick’s Are My Favorite 👍🏼😊👍🏼😀👍🏼😇
I love the troubleshooting part of it, but like you say it takes a lot of time and time is money, but nobody wants to pay
Tara, I love watching your videos you’re one excellent individual and you really help me a lot when I work on lawnmowers and I pray that God really blesses you bud because sometimes we can’t charge people you know if it’s something really easy to do I don’t I just like the Lord go ahead and bless me and when he gets fixed somebody comes around and gives me something and I make money that waybut I really appreciate you guys. Really appreciate what you do. Thanks for your videos. God bless Steve.
It’s cause you’re good at what you do. Never overlooking the obvious nor the obscure. That’s why people bring you their equipment to repair.
Any chance we can get a Junior repair like back in the day?
thank you Taryl for your good work and honesty and unlimited knowledge .
Well done Taryl, good of you to honor your own kind of warranty. Hopefully UA-cam pays enough to cover your time.
Nice work "detective " Taryl!!!
I love dolmars and you can still buy them in my area
Bought a brand new Arctic cat snowmobile. It was like that when it idle it would just idle idle until there was no more running capability. He restarted it running good when it was cold, it would run fairly well, but I put electric fuel pump on it even when our cat told me, I couldn’t run great but this sled brand new headed back through four times they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Love your stuff keep putting it out.
GUMP! your a G.Damm Genius, your gonna be a General some day!!
Wouldnt it be great if after a defect in manufacturing or engineering flaw that a service bulletin was produced? IE: "It has been noted in several dolmar/Makita 550 chainsaws that the pulse line may be partially blocked inside the cylinder casting". But since there's not a diy bulletin board to look up these faults I'll just keep watching Taryl videos. 👍
You are a great Trouble Shooter Mechanic. Recently our company Bought Husqvarna Cut Off Saw.
Run OK a few times. Another employee used it said it would not run. I'am some what mechanical incline dealing with dirt 2 cycles motorcycle & basic car maintenance on cars growing up.
Dumped Fuel, Change Plug, Air Filter even though they were clean.
Got It Running, But Would Cut Off.
Took It To Chain Saw Mechanic, Sat There For Months. Said He Couldn't Find Problem. I believe he doesn't know 2 cycles like you as his shop must have hundreds of saws, weed eaters, blowers around his shop in disassembled. Going to take to another shop. Probably Carburetor Diaphragm, Vent, Or Like Your Video Discuss Pulse From Engine For Fuel Pressure. Would Like To Get It Fix As This Saw Probably Only Has 2 Hours Of Use.Most So Call Mechanics Just Want You To Buy New Equipment Because Of Time Spent In Repairs & Take Your Disabled Equipment, Part It Out For Profit. Keep Up Your Great Mechanic Skills On Videos.
Me and my wife always look forward to your new videos. Keep posting.
And there's your dinner 😂
We have a battery blower and a Stihl and an Echo gas job. The battery beats nothing but if you want to get serious, you fire the Stihl or the Echo. Got to crank them shortly. 1st time this year. Thanks Taryl!
I know, when I used to fix power tools Dolmar who were a division of Makita used to repair their own petrol powered equipment in house yet we were a service agent for Makita power tools.
Ryobi on the other hand offloaded their petrol powered lawn equipment onto us for warranty repairs & there was no real training involved because Ryobi would more or less get us to fire the parts cannon then charge Ryobi for the parts for their line trimmers.
My manager Ray had 40 years of experience in power tool repairs & electric motor rewinding but no joke,he was stumped on a petrol powered Ryobi line trimmer because he replaced a few carburettors as Ryobi told him to do then I had a look at it after he spent 8 hours on trying to get it going,no joke.
I checked the gasket under the insulator for the carburettor on the cylinder on a BRAND NEW Ryobi line trimmer engine & it was torn,we weren't supplied with any crankcase leak detection kits or anything by Ryobi.
So I ordered a new gasket & fitted it then the line trimmer engine started right away !
Makitas, Sach Dolmar, and Dolmar saws ,have been my top work saws for many years Other. than crank seals on a 1983 Sachs Dolmar 123 no problems ever .All Makita saws now built and branded Makita are electric the gas are branded Dolmar.German engineering at its finest other than the video subject.Taryl the Slueth Detective!
That's why I bought a Shindaiwa 600sx chainsaw. I have a mid 80's Homelite chainsaw. one That's got the metal case. I also have a Poulan Pro 295. I've had it running but, couldn't get tuned right. I also have a Coocheer chainsaw as a paper weight.
Another educational video. Never thought of checking that. Now I know.
"AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE"👍
Taryl you're an honest shop owner.
Why did you charge me $500.00 to replair my chain saw . That I paid $159.99 from you ! Taryl stop hanging up the phone when I call , I just gmail you !
Taryals will stick to fixing lawn tractors, generators, and pushmowers, and don't forget women.😂 Great find Taryl, troubleshooting at its best.
What did you find in the flutes of the drill.
Judging by the name worn off the bar, I would say it was well used.
Oh come on Taryl just pull the cylinder off and let's see what's inside . Shame on you for selling him a defunked saw . He should of just throwed it through your from window like a dis-count tire 🤣😂😭 . I restore old chainsaws for a hobby and I ran across that problem once .
That Dolmar saw is a good saw, you just got a stinker. If you worked on them day in and day out you would be more privy to that blockage problem. I had other Dolmar saws with clogged tank vents causing same problem. Thanks for sharing.
The quality of the of almost everything has declined. Now things are manufactured to just last long enough to meet the warranty requirements. TV's. for example: Remember when there was a TV repair shop almost on every corner. Now with the cost of labor to repair them it's just better to go out and buy a new one. But great find Taryl, And I'm in full agreement.
How good is that Dolmar equipment do they make commercial grade like Stihl and Husqvarna and echo ???
Very nice debugging, and deburring. At least you'll get some YT income that can be put towards your time. At first, I assumed something else clogged the passage, not a manufacturing defect. It's bit weird that the owner didn't take it back when it was new, if they tried to run it for more than 5 minutes. *edit* You SOLD him the saw - the backstory comes out. Great video.
Unfortunately it's about money and time on the other hand the experience and knowing you fixed it is the real reward
The time invested was not for repairs, it was for education...
so, it cost you less than tech school!
i was a tech school instructor, for a short time, and I quickly realized that I don't want to be one. This was ok information, but you gotta remember, "students" are dumb (most, anyway, I wasn't ;) ) until they learn.
idk how to present it, & you did seem to pretty well, but left off a few details (ie: where crankcase pressure comes from & that it pulsates). Though the title might be true, it won't appear in searches to diagnose an engine that won't run, but this is not a common issue.
Plus, isn't one of your first tests to unhook the fuel line from the carb & spin the engine a few times, to ensure it is pumping fuel to the carb?
If any other shop sold him that saw they wouldn't fix it for free. That's why Terrell's a good man. Honest and trustworthy. Oh, yeah. I forgot knowledgeable. If I was the customer I would hand Terrell $,30 after watching the video of him fixing the saw and say there's your supper.😂
Taryl says it isn't the Space Shuttle, but diagnosing that was like working on the Shuttle. It makes me wonder how many were defective like that? How could a hole be drilled too shallow by a machine?
#1 rule of mine...nothing leaves shop without a setup and test run. New means nothing...anything can be brand new broke.
Taryl you da man ✌ oh you didn't say that you sold it to him to begin with LOL😂 but at least you didn't charge him for the repair. Thanks for the chainsaw lesson I get aggravated an just go buy another one that's why I finally bought a stihl no more problems .
You are a very smart mechanics. Thank you for showing how to analyze problemz
.
Lol.
Of course they’d buy something new then wait 10+yrs before they run it. And then wonder why it’s not running like a new saw!
Lol. It does take a lot of time sometimes on the mini motors.
You need to check the crankcase with a vacuum gauge -- because the crank seals will leak under vacuum if they're bad but under pressure increases the seals ability to hold if you look at the seal, they're tapered
Thank you Taryl, you did teach me something and it was fun!
I agree a lot of hand held gas equipment Is garbage. I'm a mechanic myself and I don't waste my time with it. I bought battery powered over 3 years ago with no issues.
People should just buy an Echo. They are not cheap so buy once cry once, but it will never need a repair.
Very good information Taryl thank you. Most shops wouldn't go that far
Thanks for the video I have learned something else again. Enjoy watching your videos
Taryl, what is the model number of the pressure tester you have in your hand 3:02 ?? Could you tell me if you sell that item Sir ?? Thanks vf
I learn so much from watching you but your right i dont mind 2cycle stuff but i turn away chainsaws because of the labor intensive repairs
After the pressure/vac test I was thinking fuel tank vent when you said it ran for a min then starved out and the carb was dry. Good detective work sir, helps to have trash lying around to compare too 👍🏻
God bless you Darrell your old school and that’s terrific. It should be a lot of people out in this world like you great video. I learned a lot and I’m still learning from you. God bless you.😊
I despise working on a chainsaw over anything else that comes through the door. Second is sharpening hedge trimmer blades.
Thanks, this give me a heads up on a project i have to fix. I will let you know outcome.
You are the man. Great diagnosis. Your are very right about other shops too. I know of one near me
What was it plugged with? was it just not machined from the factory?
