My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We see over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

I was looking for a lightweight blower for my deck. kzfaq.infoUgkxgioZQl3J5wPGAeDINzbieKbT5qomSEx3 There are some huge trees around my house and the leaves and pods drop all over my deck. Having to move furniture around to sweep has become too big a chore. This blower was the answer. It is light enough for this 70yr old lady and powerful enough to blow all the tree droppings off my rather large deck. Thank you B&D. Be aware the cord is not included. I use a 3 prong outdoor cord 25' cord for my 12' x 20' deck. The cord retainer works very well, but don't try to pass the plug through it. That is NOT how it works. You just have to loop the cord and it works great. One of my best purchases. Very happy.

I learned a trick from Leon's Chainsaw Parts and Repairs regarding carburetor testing. He has a tool to pressurize the fuel inlet, which checks the needle valve as well as the gaskets on the pump side of the carb. I use a Mini-vac hand pump to pressurize the inlet. It should hold 5 psi for 10 minutes. This has saved me a LOT of aggravation on two cycle diaphragm carburetors and has gained me some happy customers. You could also pressurize the tank to verify the vent on the tank. Thank you for making videos and helping people with their small engines!

Tanaka ECS356 Tanaka kogyo Co.

I am looking for replacement air filter, and new plug. this is my back up saw, it also came with a jig & round file to hand sharpen the blade, have not tried that yet. how long does gas/oil mix stay useable? I have been using the stihl oil mix with alcohol free high test gas. thank you or your reply love your videos they are so helpful in taking care of all of the small engines that I have. have a great day. barry

Yep, funny thing about liquids is they can throw tantrums sometimes, especially when you try to compress them. That's when they give you the bird and say "No, and I'm going to break something if you try and make me." Many years ago I was in a hurry and drove through a particularly deep and long puddle that was hanging out against the curb after several days of heavy rain. My car had a cool air intake with a low tube that went by the tire, never cared too much about exactly how high it was off the ground and my setup did not have an in-line relief valve. Made it about 2/3s through the puddle before the engine went BUMP and the car died. About a week later 3 of my 4 piston rods came out of the engine in an S shape, along with about 2 cups of water from the manifold. That's how I learned about the term hydra locked ^_^ good times.

If the damaged screw is below the casting, just cut through the casting to get to the screw. I have successfully used this method several times.

Use a drain pan whether outside and especially inside. You don't want to kill your grass by draining fuel on it, and you don't want raw gas on your work bench. Could accidentally ignite if there's a spark of some kind. Gas fumes hang low to the ground and hang around even on a work bench, and ya never know. Good vid. Like school. Stay safe.👍

Pull the fuel pump diaphragm and hold it up to a bright light, I suspect you will find a hairline crack in it. The crack will pump fuel through the impulse port into the bottom end of the engine causing the hydro-lock. I've replaced several units under warranty due to the connecting rod being bent. The issue is caused by the carb body casting not aligning with the cover casting. The constant flexing of the diaphragm against the mis-alignment of the castings causes the crack. I've brought this issue up with my distributer in Missouri, as well as Stihl corporate in Virginia Beach when I was there for training recently. This issue is often mis-diagnosed as a leaking needle because the carb won't hold pressure when tested via the fuel line connection, put you thumb over the impulse port on the carb and it will hold pressure. Thank You.

Cousin bought an old mid to late 80's early model Stihl 021 saw. It ran, but not well. Changed the fuel line, put a modern style 250 tank vent on it, then looked at the carburetor. WT-215, the metering diaphragm was put on upside down. Gasket was glued to the top plate, diaphragm was still good, but the gasket needs replacing. I've been through carbs, refurbishing them, never seen that before 🤣. Buying a K20-WAT rebuild kit today for it. Afterwards, it should run like new as the cylinder and piston look practically new and it has a LOT of compression. There's also a carb adjustment kit on Amazon for around $20, has every driver for carb screws, even a Stihl flat screwdriver, picks and brushes as well as two metering lever height gauges for Walbro and Zama. I used the Zama gauge on a brand new, from Stihl FS 56 RC-E carburetor, the needle lever was so low, had to bring it up.

So took out the screen on my saw and found it almost completely plugged up. cleaned it up, put back together and a little carb adjustment and running great again. some of the problem is that doing carvings you are only running the saw at low RPM's about half the time. sorry, this got so long, but thanks.

Great video and great work, I fix tools for the fire department and firefighters can be a bit... harsh... on their tools, so now I can add this to the possible cause and 'how to fix' checklist. In fact I just ordered a carburetor for an MS 460 today because a saw won't stay running after somebody turned out the idle screw to the point of removal and then manhandled it when trying to screw it back in. Now the threads on the idle screw are buggered and it chewed up the threads inside the carb as well so, RIP on that one. Hoping there aren't any additional issues and we'll see if the new carb fixes it.

I have that same blower ,bought it at Runnings for my Xmas present. Makes a great turbocharger for getting a brush pile to burn 🔥 down with some extra heat.

That was pretty cool of with the blower and stuff I never thought about the diaphragm things like that getting stuck and junk I have mentions sometimes about leaving them in the heat or out in the sun is not good

Fun to watch you disassemble and reassemble A carb . Not sure I would tackle that one.

That engine was what is called "Hydro locked" an engine that can't turn over due to the cylinders being filled with a liquid.

This can result in twisted and bent articulating rods in lower cylinders. Always turn the prop by hand before starting a radial! 😁

Yes. Last year my brother 5yr Tanaka did it carb was leaking gas in the engine, He took his to the shop. The same week mine started doing it. I use mine commercommercially. Mine was 6.5yrs. The dealer doesn't sale or service them where I bought them at. I replaced the carburetor. Running like a champ now. He got his back not fixed & the guy charged him somewhere near 85 bucks with brand new wrong spark plug. I changed his carb too. Wouldn't pull because spark plug was too long hitting the piston. I took my plug installed it in his, 1 or 2 pulls it starts. I did it for free

Remember, she has to break it down so people that wouldn't know what hydro like is. I raced boats for decades, more than once it blew over backwards while topped out, engine went under twisting close to 10k rpm, rods looked like a lightning bolt qll bent and crooked, crankcase and block was full of spider web cracks, fuel pump, carb and ignition was all that was salvageable off them

Even though she didn’t name it. I’m sure she showed the exact cause. Wasn’t that hard to see.
