Your don't like Milwaukee? I've been using mine for a decade. Not professionally but regularly and never had an issue. I'd say they're priced right but I'm poor.

I'm about done cleaning carbs at this point. My Milwaukee's are great but too expensive. Is Walmart "Hart" brand too cheap? What about Harbor Freight brands?

This is what I have. Anyone know what prob could be here and if there's a solution for this new carb? Vid

I've actually got one of these which I might use but problem is they have their own carb but my craftsman has its choke on the air filter cover itself which conflicts with the choke lever on the carb. I could cut down to fit though maybe

316.711390. Thanks. I'll give it a try later on

You guys know this common one? One pacman screw on the inside one on the outside. I can get it started but doesn't stay running unless I throttle it which only lasts for so long I've put a lot of car cleaner through this though maybe it's that diaphragm in there too brittle as I recall causing...

It's working now. I'm in to other imperfections but got both mowers working at least. No issues with any keys

Thanks. I watch his vids. Good channel

Thanks. I always mix them up

I have a few different batteries from a generator to motorcycle to truck. Should I connect these to a trickle charger to maintain whatever health they have left and if so would a cheap solar charger suffice? And would I just connect them all up in series? Not exactly lawn related but you guys...

I wish I'd started young. My grandpa was mechanically inclined shop hobbyist but not my father. Fortunately I ended up with some of my grandpa's interests but it's definitely harder to figure this stuff out later in life especially if you're not doing it every day I think I already mentioned I...

So where do you guys get your carbs and/or rebuild kits/parts?

To me it looks like both leaking and non-carbs hold air the same. I struggled with the new line not holding the air 100% but I cut it out of vid. But it looked pretty clear both confirmed leaking and not-leaking carbs hold the vac pressure the same. If there's nothing else it could possibly...

Haha that was me!

What's going on here with this hand vac? Is it supposed to leak as it does? I should be able to test the needle valve with it

So take note of how the one on the right, my latest one with the proper linkage, has this different needle valve and spring. The one on the left is an older one that doesn't have the linkage but it doesn't leak BUT without the linkage I think it is causing the rich issues I was having with it...

But it wouldn't work though in the same manner to test the pressure? It's only the same but in reverse. How do you use a pressure tester anyway? Is it gauge you use with some compressed air or... I don't have any. One thing I've been wanting for my lil shop for years is some compressed air...

You're so much smarter than me rivets. God bless you.

I don't recall you giving me any docs on this carb. We were talking about my trimmer no?

One of these vac pumps work? If I lay the carb upside down so the bowl/valve sits in the seat and pump it up? I'll test the pump first on its own to make sure it's sealed

Any other possibility? I can't see how that could be it if it's sealing perfectly against my lungs. The seat is just a brass piece. The needle looks perfect. I suppose maybe not and the difference is just so slight. I'll look for rebuild kits cuz I also need bowl gaskets.

Can't figure out why this carb is leaking. It's my newest one so everything looks new but it leaks from the front out of the main jet. The little rubber stopper valve is a soft rubber I think works against me blowing into it. Any ideas?

Thanks.I think it was just flooded with fuel/oil as the next day it started up

316/11390?

😂

Do you ha e anything for my craftsman? It just says "weed whacker" on it

Thanks a lot! I'll have a deeper look next trim...

And a echo manual I downloaded doesn't show anything but idle screw

Thanks a lot. I got this: Harbot RB-K93 SRM225 Carburetor for Echo SRM225i SRM225U SRM225SB GT225 GT225i GT225L GT225SF PAS225 PE225 PPF225 SHC225 Trimmer Is the hi and lo mix the same screw I'm using or have I only found one? If two, you happen to know where is the other? I don't recall...

Quick update: started on first pull this morning. Got lucky on this one. So it must have just been water(fuel/oil) logged as this vid suggested Works like it did recently not perfect but with a liI playing with the adjustment screw can get the job done by will make sure my fuel/oil mix is...

Ah... Makes sense. And good news cuz I often look in my lawn at all the stray pieces like they're candy wrappers.That's why I see them all over the place! They're breaking off, not sucking back in. Good to know. They ought to put some nitrogen or mosquito killer in them too. Thanks for the info...

Keep in water? Really? Weird. So being old and brittle it just breaks there? I was thinking it was pulling in somehow. Interesting. Okay then. How about a little oil in the water? Keep it Nice and supple.

Well I tried with a couple plugs, one new. Check the vid above a couple posts. I got fuel/oil coming out of the exhaust. Doesn't that mean there's a major issue with the piston? I've never dealt with oil coming out of the exhaust of a 2 stroke, so not sure what that means

I have been and continue to be willing to provide all the necessary information to get help and THEN SOME. I learn by using my mind first foremost and last, being stupid and breaking things. Not following the orders of false authorities. I blew up my first mowers engine and also my truck's...

Please check it out. I think we're looking at a leaking piston no?

Thanks. Yeah, I'm an ASS-umer. And it takes me a while to figure things out and I don't take spoon feeding. So I assume things til I learn for sure if I'm right or not. And yes I do need a lot of help and I'm 48 in a few months so thanks Dad. I WILL BE ABLE ask dumb questions though. I can't...

Thanks for all your replies. Even from @Rivets but I'm going to look at yours separately as your a whole other conversation... Trimmer is old. But I've replaced the carb and associated parts. I've tried with three plugs and one new, two older. The "spark arrester screen"? If that's the thing...

No, if you put it in backwards, when it runs it just all falls out. Gotta get this running first now though as it suddenly stopped running ...

Do you happen to know what is different about the needs of the generator and pressure washer?

I've watched a few over the years. Not much sticks. And I wonder what about the generator and pressure washer call for it but not for the mower

What's the air bleed for? Just curious. Always trying to understand how these work

And I looked through your threads and see you cheating on your wife. What the...

Don't scold me son! What do you mean I'm going to "get in trouble"? And that I shouldn't "assume" anything? If you have a brain you make assumptions. You saying I'm not allowed to as stupid as I am lol? The nerve! Chill with your judgement pops you ain't th e boss of me. And how did you figure...

Ah, I see that. And venturi is the most narrow space inside basically?

Hmm I actually need a jet and gasket for the mower one so we'll if either pressure washer jet or another mower carb jet I have works. And maybe I'll put on my reading glasses and see if I can see a difference

Or so it seems to me. How interchangeable are these? If so that would be great for testing. My eyes are bad but they seem almost identical. BTW, am I right in thinking with my mower carb shown by itself has that extra linkage to have the throttle the default position choke spring closed where...

I've got fuel(too much? seems leaking everywhere) and spark. Was working decent before after struggling with rear adjustment screw under primer, now suddenly it won't start. Tried with and without choke, with cover off. Seems to have compression as always. Tried with adjustment screw...

Why do these pull the string in so often making me have to take it apart and re-insert the string all over again? I push to let it out til it has to cut itself on the blade, perfect length then after some use one or both sides pull the string back in through the holes. Or what am I doing wrong?

So I've got the old on there with the new one's diaphragm as the new one wouldn't start after a while anyway and as you can see it has that big yellow choke lever which is't compatible with the air filter cover without a Pita. Anyway the new diaphragm got it going but can't keep it going. Dies...
