Good job! Very detailed repair of what is really needed to repair a Stihl ( or other) carburetor. Still very applicable today ( 6 years later!!)

I agree with Thomas Hilfer's comments below--you've zoomed in tight on the small parts of the carburetor and saw. You were careful and meticulous about your disassembly and focus on what may have been the origins of the problem. For a non-mechanical guy like me, you've given me the confidence to maintain my Stihl O28 I bought in '89 that I pull out of the basement and use every couple of years. Thanks!

I have watched hundreds of how-to videos on youtube, and this is by far the best that I have ever seen. The clse-ups are amazing, I can actually understand the man, no weird accent, no bubba teeth , and it was the exact model carb that I have in my Stihl. Great job, Sir.

Thanks. I've always been handy but never applied myself to small engine repair. I just got an inkling that I may be a little smarter than my small engine repair guy due a screw up he made on my log splitter, that I decided to fix, rather than take it back. Videos like yours embolden me to go where I've never gone before, and save a buttload of money and time in the process.

Firstly, thank you immensely for not editing out your oversights/mistakes. So many do that when an average Joe has to go back and do it again it feels like a failure. Nice to know I'm not the only one... Secondly, as you're disassembling, take pictures with your cellphone. I wouldn't have thought of it if someone hadn't told me. So simple, "why didn't I think of that?"... Thanks again!

Thanks kv. I always learn something from these videos that help me in my projects, including yours! I'm doing my 026 tomorrow.

Thanks dude. I like the SLOW and thoughtful and explanatory pace. Most excellent, Attacking my old 026 now.

Great video pilgrim. Covered everything I needed to know. Thanks

Thanks KV. That was very helpful. I just replaced a blown piston and cylinder in an 036 and she only runs on full choke so moving on to the carb and this was what i wanted to see.

Good job. Spray cans of Starting Fluid are cheap and work well to clean parts as you go along. (Buy at least 2; 3 is better.) Just did rebuilds of an MS200T & an 020 AVP. It's good to remove the clutch/sprocket pieces as gunk collects around there, blocking the oiler passages.

Thanks. I think a dirty carb is the problem with my saw. This video will help me a lot appreciate it. Bonus wildlife segment included.

cheers for this. Got mine to do this weekend

Great video KV. One thing I try to do is clean the TINY holes that go from under the that little welch plug out to the throat of the carb. Some guys take that plug out but you can clean the holes with a VERY fine wire by finding the holes in by the butterfly and poke the wire in those LITTLE holes.

Well done. When you we’re getting to the part of installing the needle and spring I was hoping you were going to have a trick for me. That’s always the hard part for me also. Thanks

Great job on this video. It was well done and could see exactly what you were doing. I'm afraid this is exactly what I need to do to mine and if it doesn't work I guess a new carb. Thank you for taking the time to make it.

Well done Mate, helped me heaps.

Great video, Thank you.

It's a good idea to start with high and low screw out 1 1/2 turns and adjust from there. I'd leave the high screw at 1 1/2 turn unless you can measure rpm's.It's possible to have the rpm's so high, it'd blow up the engine.

Awesome vid, doing the same thing to my MS 290 tomorrow due to running like shit

I really like your humble and informative presentation, thanks. I wish there were a carb cleaning stihl 028 AV vid that shows you what to do . . . . IF YOU DON'T HAVE COMPRESSED AIR. I hear you can poke around with thin! wire. Where!!?? exactly? Sure, it's NOT professional, but it is sure country-DIY-helpful! . . . and works! sez my pal who does it (and is not here right now).

the use of tweezers is a big help for 10 thumbs

Good video..funny and helpful..

Excellent and thank you

The strainer where all the crud was can be carefully pried out with a point at the edge, it's pressed into a bowl shape.

Thanks Man! Great how to video!

Good job amigo

I just got a 026 and I’m going to do the same thing to it’s carburetor as it seems to have got clogged as when you WOT it bogs and dies!

thanks Bud 👍

That sheetrock screw might be to one of the rubber anti-vibration mounts. I just took mine apart and those screws look alot like sheet-rock screws.

Well done!!!

...thanks for the DIY video kv.....I'm doing a restoration on an old Stihl 026, and was thinking about replacing the carb with an after-market.....but after watching what you did, I believe I will try to tear down and clean the original....got nothing to lose and a few bucks to save.... :)

You should have replaced the mixture diaphram. They get stiff with old age and that is one of the major causes of performance degradation. It's only a couple dollars at a saw shop.

Tried for over an hr trying to get that little flappy thing on the spring. Then realised I had it wrong way round then done it in one go🤨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Thanks for that, very useful as I've never attempted this. I have to say I would take off all panels and do a good cleaning job at the same time. Also, I would never put the air filter back on in that state, it still looked 30% blocked. Blowing and flushing fuel lines worthwhile too.I know f**k all, but I do know how to clean.

FYI The 'fuel line' he keeps mentioning is a vacuum line that operates the little fuel pump flaps in the carb.

When pulling a carburetor, do you pull the cord until the piston blocks the cylinder from the intake?

easy to follow

Good show.

Good Job!

I have a sthil ms193t. Having trouble going to check the carburetor. I’ve never own a sthil product before chainsaw in this case I have a question the gas I put it in was the one they sell at a box store 50:1 what about the oil can I just put it a Standard bar and chainsaw oil do I have to mix the oil or just the way it’s on a container. Just wondering if this is ok for fuel and oil on my sthil ms193t Forgot to mention my chainsaw won’t stay on I have to keep the throttle on at all times.

Thanks!

thanks for the vid

Sthil chingsaw block piston garam hua to chaluh nahi hua?

No carb cleaner spray??

Great job'

Great Job ! Love the cussing !

Brilliant

Hope you gave the exterior a bit of a clean too.

Thanks bud.

my stihl 170 3 years old has jets but cannot adjust them, ordered a new one all it has is blank spaces where the the jets supposed to be now what?

just when I was yelling at you to take those doctor gloves off,,,,a few frames later you did. Haaaaaa

Este rapaz é curioso Quer dizer, está a limpar o carburador, abre o filtro de ar ( todo sujo) e não o limpa. Toca a montar e por gasolina. Belo trabalho

It was worth buying the carb kit from ddm it’s $8 and all the pieces you recycled you get new again.

job well done . man . you teach people that they don't always need to buy a carb kit . and some it a paine in the ass . when there not a modle number on the peace of equipment .

KV you are a very lucky guy for quite a few reasons....... Well those good ole Walbro carbs are very well made..... At 1:54 it looked like your metering lever was set way too high...... At 3:22 needle looked bad, but it cleaned up pretty good ....... At 3:50 you can't see thru the hole because the pump side is still on and the screen is still in there.... At 7:28 your screen was so clogged up, that I thought no way on a start up ........ At 11:05 you said it was good practice to to seat a needle in the seat by turning it......Nope that's a No No........... At 15:55 you had gasket material left on the carb body...... Good thing all that matched back up just right...... And the Grande Finale at 27:21 it starts up....................... You are the most luckiest guy I have ever seen working on a chainsaw............. I have to give you that applause and a hand shake if we should ever meet up Mon Ami.......... Oh and you have almost 60,000 views on this video.... I have a channel with a lot of different content such as Gardening , Super Hot Peppers, Cooking Cajun food and How to tips on small engine repair such as Briggs and Stratton engines.... Plus chainsaws and weed whackers and old vintage Briggs engines...... Yes sir you are a lucky man for sure............... Plus Tard Mon Ami ~!~!

"Alright that's clean".. X ) Buddy you gotta be kidding..?

The air filter just wondering can you use carburetor cleaner on the air filter

ON STIHL 4 MIX IF CARB IS OK NEW SP VALVES ARE ADJUSTED THE IGN MODULE IS OUT OF TIME INTERNALY;REPLACE IT

👌👍

Birds are going fucking crazy

PUMP SIDE OF THE CARB...

Only one problem with your "Clean out" process; You had a carb that was full of saw dust (very common) but when you had the fuel line off of the carb you didn't blow out and flow check (even with a little carb cleaner) the incoming fuel line.

YOU NOW JUST ENOUHG ,THATS ABOUT IT.

👏👍👌🇳🇴

Air filter looks like wasn’t cleaned at all if you not clean it properly you carburetor will be dirty again quickly

By a new carb

To Hell with those damn gloves, takem off when reassembling a cleaned Carb.

71 thousand views, 359 likes, and only 227 subscribers??? Come on people!

Tighten it to the point just before it snaps. Okay, that's good. You might think about pulling that video and submitting a new one. Seemed a little rough.

Sorry. Too slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

I hate it when you premadonnas have to wear gloves for every thing

Looks like abuse to me.

All I see are stupid gloves..

@ Rovert Nosnikgdoh, I've put this where it should have been. (with minor edits "You mumble all the way through as if you have no idea of what you are doing. And judging by the sound of the air blasts you don't know what you are doing. The video was slow boring and too much happened off camera. You faffed around cleaning stuff that should have been replaced and failed to go into any detail of what you were doing. Lots of minutes of the back of your hands with mumbling You failed to clean the gasket faces properly and replaced a totally stuffed metering diaphragm. If I wanted a video to train students how not to make a video or how not to work on a cube carb, your video would be right up there . So no surprise that next to no one subscribed to your channel. The fact that you did not get 70 thousand dislikes just goes to show who polite people on the web can be."
