I replace just the bad cells unless the customer wants a full refresh. I've tried about ten different BMS balance boards. The first few were under rated and would trip. After disconnecting they reset.

Yeah if you just put gas in and dont want to loose it, pinch the line with something and then if you can drain the good gas back into your gas can just in case you have to tilt the blower over.

Most often from old gas it’ll be the main jet that’s clogged. You can stick a flat head screwdriver into that center hole and screw the jet out, it’ll make it easier to spray down and clean. Sometimes if it’s really bad, you can poke something through the hole to help move the gunk, or even drill the center hole out with a small drill. Make sure to clean the float bowl out before putting it back on, and you should be good to go.

He didn’t mention one of the main conditions that occurs from a clogged main jet - Engine Surging. So your motor will start, but once you switch the choke to RUN position the engine will continuously surge the throttle/RPM up and down. If you switch the choke to open again and it smooths the RPM out, you got a clogged main jet. Follow the same cleaning steps as above.

It’s normal for it to surge with the choke open. Does it continue to surge if you set the choke to the normal RUN position? Or it only surges with choke open?
@BigBear--
@BigBear-- 2 жыл бұрын
If it’s not surging in RUN position, then it’s operating normally. The Throttle is part of the Carburetor, you can take the carb off and clean it, but generally that’s not what’s causing the surging if there is any. Get back to me when the winter season starts if it surges in RUN. If it continues to surge in RUN position, there is another fix.

Ok so I took my carb bowl off to clean out the carb and found the float is made of cork and not even a smooth cork. It has little chunks missing. Is this would Toro put in their carbs. Seems a bad choice to me since it could shed cork particles.

Yes it would drain the tank however if you clamp the fuel line(pinch it with something flat so you dont ruin it) you can then proceed. Another option is to pull the line and drain it back into the gas can.

Have you tried using non-ethanol gas? You should be able to find it. It doesn't cause that crap nearly as quickly as the alcohol gas. I've gotten my neighbors to change from ethanol gas to the non-ethanol blended stuff for small engines. Now I don't have to clean their carburetors every spring.

It's definitely no replacement for the gas powered ones like you have. I just wanted to get a laugh out of you, really.
