How to Rebuild a Two Cycle/Two Stroke Engine Carburetor

In this video Mark shows you how to rebuild your two-cycle engine carburetor using a manufacturer's rebuild kit. Parts in the carburetor wear down due the the ethanol content in gasoline, so it's important to maintain your carburetor when parts begin to crack and become brittle.

Just come in after watching your video and rebuilding my Walbro carb. Brilliant, easy to follow instructions. Strimmer now starts and runs as good as new. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

Thank you. Excelent procedure. I just cleaned a lawn mower carb. for the fist time from another video. Never attempted this work in the past and I am 53. Now that I have seen the steps I feel confident to rebuild the carb. on my Dad's chainsaw.

Thanks Mark. That part that goes in the hole under the needle/spring at 5.12 was my lesson. Didn't spot that on my McCulloch Powermac 6 when I pulled the carby apart in the first two occasions. On the third dismantle, I pulled it out and cleaned the channel. Put it back together, and fired up after a few pulls. Adam. Australia.

+jaker5555 Yes mark left out several key points like cleaning, and adjustment in an outside of carb

Thanks for posting, I liked the way the parts were laid out. A simpler rebuild, left out discussion for cleaning and also adjusting the needle lever.

Hi Mark, Thanks for the video! I am about to go try out a rebuild(something I never thought I would have tried due to horror stories I've heard about the process). Your video was clear, concise and professional. I am impressed. Thanks again, I will let you know how it goes.

@memberson Good question. It's true that most carburetor rebuilds should include a cleaning as well, either with carburetor cleaner or--like you suggested--with an ultrasonic cleaner. There are two reasons why we didn't include a carburetor cleaning in this video. 1. We already have two carburetor cleaner videos posted explaining the procedure. 2. We want to keep the focus of this video on just rebuilding the carburetor. Because of your comment, we may annotate this video to link to the others.

Thanks..... Very helpful video. I followed your advice exactly and had no trouble whatsoever completing the rebuild. I found it helped to use a bench-mounted, lighted magnifying glass to install the needle valve/spring assembly. I also installed new fuel lines and a carburetor gasket.... The old IDE weedeater started on the third pull. :)

Great video. I've disassembled that exact carb and cleaned it with a Carburetor soaking cleaner on several different 2 strokes. Sometimes it fixed the problem but from now on I will buy a Carb Kit and do it right the first time. I've started using only Non-ethanol gas in all my small engines, it really cuts down on gas line disintegration. Two strokes are very simple engines but if you let them sit without draining the ethanol gas for more than a month you will get dissolved plastic!!

So far I haven't found carb that wouldn't run like new with just a good cleaning with the Welch plug left in place. Removing the plug would complicate the repair beyond what most of our viewers would be comfortable doing. A Welch plug removal video is a good idea and I will definitely add it to our list. Thanks for watching! -Mark

He makes putting the needle valve back in look way easy. That was a pain. A tip, if your carb has a primer bulb on the top, rebuild the bottom first so it sits flat and you can get the needle valve in easier! No, really, do the bottom first, you'll thank me later!

That's interesting. I'm 15 an I know carbs normally with the bowl and floats. Last time I did a carb like this it was on a 1978 little buster go cart. Same process and everything. Thanks a lot!

That sounds like the fuel lines to the carb might have been crossed. Take a look at at our video about how to replace fuel lines. It will help to confirm the correct line placement. Thanks, -Mark

I find a lot of warpedparts, like the Thicke aluminum over with the single screw. This seems to be the situation on mostly the Chinese versions that some manufacturers use now. What I've been doing is surfacing them one a piece of 180# wet/dry paper, masking taped to the surface of a piece of glass. These warped parts are showing in Craftsman/Poulon and a few Stihls. Husky has not had any that I've found to be Chinese.

Hey Mark, I have an Echo PE 200 edger. I replaced the throttle body that somehow was broken on the inside of the carb. Once I was done, the unit would start and run but not while in idle. It only runs if the trigger is fully depressed. I replaced the spark plug, gas lines and grommet, air filter, gas filter, bulb, rebuilt the carb and changed the intake gasket. I use new fuel and oil mix. I used carb cleaner and air. Made sure the spark arrestor was clean and my edger still stalls when I release the trigger. I'm out of ideas??? Help!!

When do you know that you need to replace the Welch plug? Do you just puncture the plug and pull it out in order to replace it? Also do you seal the plug with anything once it is in place?
