This is literally the best video on this topic on the entirety of KZread. A+

If you don't subscribe to this channel, there's something wrong with you! Thanks for the informative info! I am going to go home and try this. Mine was running fine and this is probably the issue with it not starting. I do a lot of trimming in the warmer climates and I go in hardcore for hours, so it is most likely the screen.

Thank you so much for your clear instructions. Used my Craftmaster once. Neighbor used it alot over the years. It would idle when I tried to use it. Removed the 4 screws, clean out the screen's dust bunny and loose dirt with a cloth. Reinstalled 4 screws- works perfectly. You saved me a $89 repair fee. Thank you, I am 72 year old woman who wants to fix my own tools.

Nice vid

Best videos ever! The only ones that I have ever come across that doesn't leave those crucial little details out, and inevitably having to watch countless other videos before it's all said and done. And I'm a fairly intelligent guy with a degree in Electrical Engineering that's worked on my own cars all my life, and as a head maintenance man for an Ice cream distributor, so I'm no slouch. I'm tell'n ya, girl is badazz!

Hey hey! I followed everything she said. However, my carb was just trash! So, $15 on Amazon ( carb, fuel lines/filter and even a spark plug) and BAM! Troybilt runs great now! Thanks for the help! $15 every year now! 🤣

Very good step by step instructions for your viewers on that repair. Especially liked the testing of the primer bulb showing how to diagnose the problem.

@@larrystockwell3253 Depends on what brand you have it may need a slight carb adjustment, it pays to buy from a dealer like Chickanic rather than a big box store because they are no help and the dealership makes sure it runs properly. If not they will set up a no charge provided you have used the proper fuel mixture and not fiddled with anything.

You just provided 5x the information that any dude has provided on this exact same subject.... Great job!!

i'm 68 years old and have NEVER been mechanically inclined at all. I can take stuff apart but never get it back together. This video is giving me hope that I can take these steps and get my trimmer running again. THANK YOU !!!

Ditto on the excellent presentation; great camera work, logical hacks/test and clear/understandable terms. THANK YOU, your quality and competence are refreshing; appreciate it!

I’ve had 4 of these machines come through this season so far with that screen problem. Neat trick using that other primer bulb to check the fuel lines and filter! 👍🏻

I have that exact same weed eater. Bought it new over a year ago and left it in my carport still in the box. Opened it today and took forever to get it started. Ran great once started. But when you turn it off, it won't restart. Touch the plug wire cap and the rubber is very hot. The spark plug is even hotter even though it only ran a few minutes. Take the plug out and you can't touch it. Too hot. Replace the spark plug with a new cold one and it starts back up. Let it run a few minutes, same problem. Won't restart until you remove the scorching hot plug and put a cold one in it. Thoughts?

Great info. I’m new to your channel, and have learned several easy and time saving, along with cost saving tips. Plus, being a woman and pushing 70 yrs old, I work on my equipment. Thank you

Just wanted to say thank you. You helped me fixed my one year old Craftsman weed eater in just a few minutes. I blew out the screen with my air compressor and it started right up. If it happens again I will just buy a new carburetor. Thanks again keep up the good work.

Great channel Have learned a lot from you. I like that smirk when you fix a piece of equipment. I cringe when I have to take off the fuel lines on those things as I can never remember which line goes where. You’d think I’d learnt by now. Great job. Really appreciate you.

A good, clear, and concise video! You did good! Nothing like experience to make it look easy!

Excellent tutorial. It made fixing my Troy-bilt trimmer easy to fix. Instead of taking out the screen, I sprayed the screen and pipes with 3M high pressure brake cleaner. The bulb came back to normal. Thank you Chickanic. ^_^

Thanks so much!

I have been having so much fun this year since I found your channel. I actually enjoy taking out my trimmers and going after our three acres. I get some help from the boys once in awhile but I am 78 and it feels great to know how and why the trimmer works. THAMKS!

I've recently discovered your channel and so far I'm really impressed! I don't know but one other guy who shows your attention to detail in his video's, that's project farm! Thank you for the abundant information!

I am an old hotroder but you have helped me immensely on small engines

Hi. I cannot thank you enough for this guide. It was easy to follow, step-by-step, and just plain helpful. With the hose tests, I was able to determine that my carb was not priming, not pulling in fuel. Most likely was bad diaphragm, but I decided to replace the carb altogether and it worked! thank you again so much.

This video helped me so much. Got my Troy Built trimmer running again after sitting for 3-5 years. Thank you so much!!!

I love your channel, I’ve learned a lot of useful info, the speed load trimmer line head is fabulous,whenever I think I need to bring a piece of equipment in to get it repaired, you save me money & the most important thing to me , is Time👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great video! Very informative. I loved the ending that mentioned buy a new carburetor. That's what I did when my TroyBilt started running poorly around year 3. I was shocked at the price of a new one (under $30).

Thank you! I think I just may be able to service my weedeater myself if I watch this one more time! Super clear, super helpful. Two days later...... Done! with your help, I took the carburator apart, pulled out the damaged "bubble" and a piece of the small pipe, got the parts at our super hardware store, nothing else was wrong and voula! I got it running. My work is cut out for me tomorrow! Really appreciate your very clear video and I will be back for more advice! I have been telling people already about your channel.

Many years ago, I took apart one of my small engine carburetors (actually, I think it was on a Craftsman riding lawn mower) and it looked like there was nothing wrong, however, it still wouldn't fire off. Going back in, I found that the main jet was plugged. It turned out that there was a transparent film, that had hardened in the jet. It appeared to be okay and light could be seen through the jet. A small wire poked through the jet cleaned it out and it worked fine after being reassembled. Not sure what caused the problem, but I've always laid the blame on our availability to extremely poor fuel, that must have the ability to clog small orifices, such as the screen you replaced in this video. Keep up the GREAT work! Always enjoy your videos and the knowledge you share.

Your the first and only person to say that craftsman is the. Same as troybuilt, that's good to know, thanks!

Best primer bulb and fuel line assembly thus far. Thanks!!!!!! I feel it I should apply for an internship or summer camp.. you are a great teacher!

The one video to fix them all. Thank you for sharing this. I got my craftsman going after cleaning out the internal filter you poked a hole through. I sprayed it with some carb cleaner and put it all back together. It’s running like new. Thanks!

Thank you so much for making this video! It was so well executed that he gave me the confidence to tackle the problem I was having with my Craftsman 2200. I've never taken one of these engines apart, so it was a daunting task that I didn't think I could do. But, your video changed all that. I was able to break it all the way down and find that the small little mesh in the carburetor was clogged up. Cleaned it up, put new gas in it, ran like a champ. Thanks again keep on doing what you're doing!

So happy I found your channel. You're the best!

I enjoy and learn a lot from your videos. My daughter's Craftsman leaf blower wouldn't start, I suspected carb problems, but it turned that one of the head bolts was loose. I also changed the fuel filter. It runs now.

Excellent, thank you. I have the trimmer/weedeater/brushcutter, but the eleven-year-old version, so I know how finicky they can get. You nailed your carb repair video -- without the b.s. we've become accustomed to. So, I'm glad I found you.

Thanks so much for this. I really liked the clear and concise descriptions and well shot video. Super-useful advice and pro tips 👍👌👏

Great job repairing this trimmer. I try to use nonethanol gas in my small engines to help as well. Thanks for the video

I had the same problems with my brand new craftsman wc2200. Your video helped me to troubleshoot it thank you.

Way to go John Klem! You are the small engine community’s best friend! Bre, thanks for showing is good detail. I’m going to start fixing trimmers. They used to be throw away items. Maybe some are not too far gone.

She makes me look smart. Work at a hdwar store. I watch her video and take the knowledge to work. Genius. Thx Chick.

I watched one of your videos concerning an echo trimmer. The video was informative and I learned a bunch. Then I saw you in cutoffs and I was hooked.. Very nice.

A couple Summers back I bought the two cycle carburetor adjustment tools. You would not believe how much unnecessary packaging they did. Every single tool was in its own separate baggy plus the bag that the whole thing came in. I laid everything out and took a picture to show a couple friends on how much unnecessary plastic that was used. I enjoy your videos look forward to watching the next one.

New to channel. Just wanted to give you a big thank you. Was gonna go out and buy a new weedeater to replace my craftsman. Then i saw this video. Followed what you said but ultimately bought a new carburetor on Amazon. $18 came with carb, fuel line,spark plug, fuel filter, and air filter. Replaced everything on mine. Ps my fuel line was brindle. And now it runs great again. Thank you very much. You saved me a couple hundred dollars.

Girl, you made my day! I got a trimmer with several attachments from my friend who said it quit working and he didn't want to mess with it. I had it for a few months and couldn't get anything to work. Checked everything or at least I thought I had. I watched your video and realized there was a screen in the carb. I went straight to it and sure enough it was dirty! Cleaned it and wallah! Took a few tries and it ran. I adjusted carb and I'm ready to go. Thanks

Wow, you nailed it in 5 min. Exactly the same problem as my Craftsman trimmer. Thank you.

I like the idea of being able to tune to your channel and learn how to repair my own equipment. Thank you.

I have this same trimmer. And am having the similar problem. You make it look so easy. Your the only person I have watched that mention you do not need a gasket in between the carb and body. 😁😁😁😁

I Think I'm in Luv...A Gal that can Fix a trimmer!! I was given one of these, a Murry, same problem. Now I can't wait for it to get Light so I can work your Fix!! Thanks for all the Tips / Solutions...Your Savin' my Texas Bacon! I'll be watching your shows from now on.....

Thank you for the information, over the years I have 2 Troy built and 1 Craftsman trimmer that do Not run- You helped me understand what may be my problem

Excellent video madam. Clear and concise.... thank you.

Finally ! Someone explains every step clearly! Thank you! Took a good ole Arkansas Girl to get er done Lol

Excellent information for checking out the carb and fuel system operation and setting the throttle . Wish I had found this earlier to help in troubleshooting some power equipment I've dealt with in the paat. Thanks for sharing!

Best video. Working on mine now. I have a new craftsman mower and there are no videos on the new mower. Nut came out of my wheel and locked it up. Took awhile to figure that one out.

Thank you very much for your helpful videos. The tips and how to check for what maybe wrong are money and time savers.

You make it look so easy. I always fine something will go wrong if I try to do the work myself Then I also find it hard to find parts. Love your video

Thank you Miss I feel KZread certified enough to do this thanks to you 😊

Thank you for this video. I fixed my weedeater I took it apart like the video and took a can of spray air and sprayed the screen it was full of filth. I put it all back together and it works. I spent all afternoon on it until I went to you tube and saw your video....I fixed it in less than 10 minutes....I am 62 years old and was able to fix it ....thank u thank u

Chickanic.....I don't know your prior experience on 2 and 4 stroke equipment before you opened your shop but you either learned those tricks ( like using fuel line and a primer bulb for testing ) from an experienced tech or you.... Should have become a CHICKMECHANIC and opened a full blown auto repair shop. You are showing tricks that after being a mechanic myself for 40 years I usually forget about until I'm almost done testing. You my lady.... And a say that with full due respect.... Are one Heck of a great troubleshooting tech! And trust me when I say that's definitely a compliment... Because it's Coming from me! I haven't said that to often in my career. So now...... I know you can't answer everyone and only like to respond to the "EARLY COMMENTERS" but im pretty sure not every later blooming commenter is just throwing in chopped liver either. Hey thanks for another super awesome video.... You rock! J Pol.

Good job done. You make it look easy

I have a craftsman weed eater so I really enjoyed the video I have not started it this year but if it does not run I now some things to check now thanks for sharing 👍

Hey you just got another subscriber! I had that exact same issue with my one year old Craftsman trimmer and that was indeed the problem! Thank you so much!!

*Note: I resolved all my small engine fuel problems by using ONLY ethanol free gas in my yard tools. No more gummed up carburetors, rotted fuel lines, and cracked/broken primer bulbs. Over the past four years I'm still using the same edger, string trimmer, backpack blower, and mower. I do enjoy your videos though. Thanks. *This comment has been edited to correct a misspelled word)

Thank you for an informative video, not long winded

Had I seen this 3 yrs ago... Thank you for your knowledge 🙏

I have a Troy Bilt 4 cycle trimmer with a seperate eclectric start. Its 13-14 years old. Last year I had trouble with it not wanting to run. So after removing the carberator and cleaning and anything elese I could do, with no success, I bought a new carb. No problem now, but it sure is fussy if there is any dirt in it. Like your videos, very helpful.

Incredible, after watching your video I was able to start my Troy bilt

Thank you it actually worked this dang thing wasn’t starting for nothing but using your method worked I just took it apart like you said and checked the filter I didn’t change it out I just reseated it then put everything back together then my golly it worked

Awesome video thanks for making it simple and straight to the point I will follow the instructions see how it goes

Thanks excellent video, & explanation having issues with the same trimmer, take care blessings.

Great content as always. Thanks for bringing us along.

Mad Respect! I have built just about everything known to man and was about to throw my weed eater in the garbage and go buy another one because I got to that age 🙂 I cleaned that TINY little filter out and it runs better than ever after fine tuning which I have the tools for. You don't know what you don't know! Took maybe 20 minutes. You rock!

You’re amazing!!! Thank you so much!!! Just got mine working again because of this!

Great video again.. Happy Easter and cheers from London England 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Thanks for the primer bulb trick for checking lines. Can't fathom how much time I've lost over the years. ; -)

It's been 2 days I took that carb off 6 times! I was poking bread ties in all the holes, there might have been some sucking and blowing in said holes... And well you know what it was! I had no idea that the screen was so fine... pulled it out hot water soap and a scrub! Bingo! Thanks a lot. Now I can get back to work! GREAT!!

Excellent info I happen to have a troybilt that's giving me a no idle problem. I hope the idle speed screw adjustment works on mine. By the way I haven't been able to find an OEM carb for my small engine equipped tools for less than 69 dollars. I like your taking the time to provide sound troubleshooting tips.

Nice video. I like the way you explain all. Thank you.

Great video! I have a 12 year old craftsman that’s the same, and it refuses to die. Did a compression check just now, still has 150psi. Got a new carb ordered. I look forward to the carb tuning video

A great video, thanks. I find it's a good idea to always empty fuel out of the machine then purge the carb of fuel using the primer bulb and tip that bit out too then run the machine until it stops. Have never had any problems doing that season after season.
