Especially older STIHL brushcutters like a old fs80 have a plastic inlet tube thats always split

Great tip Don! I usually buy the five minute JB weld, will start burning the long set one now, based on your advice. I fixed a gas tank on an old BMW I had, and it lasted six years, then sold the car. Tanks was expensive! Thanks Don!

Thanks for the tip I would never of thought of looking there for a leak!

Nice to see other folks use JB Weld too. I have for years and yes the longer set stuff does seem stronger. Thanks for the vid.

Excellent tutorial. Appreciate you explaining the fundamentals for us novices.

Excellent demonstration video. That helps alot. Thank you so much.

Great tip donyboy. You always seem to find these head scratcher problems. I really like the way you go about things. Clean everything before taking things apart. I stress this in my shop as well. Look forward to your videos 👍

Difficult to locate that leak. I use a Mity Vac vacuum/pressure tester.

Great tip! I have the same saw. I would recommend Permatex sleeve retainer before the epoxy. It is thinner and will wick into smaller openings. Nice job.

Love your work and thanks for all your help. Your intro is just right for length, graphics, and music. Wish you a great 2022.

Great info. I have a husky 51 that won't stay running. It had a new carb a while ago, but now I'll check your fix. Thanks.

Great tip. Thank you for sharing. I use the long set j b weld on may projects and repairs. ❤️🇨🇦

I didn't know about carb pressure testing! I fix small engines for decades and wondered why the carburetor leaked after a full rebuild! Now armed with new info, I can finally fix that carb leak instead of throwing it out to replacement!

Thank you ! I've learned so much from you. I work on my oew stuff other wise I have to drive 60- 80 miles round trip for a repair guy. Then it's give me a week or so.., I'll call you.

Brilliant.!! Thank you for sharing Don. 👍

Don Thanks for that tip it will help me if I come across that problem.

A great video. Thanks Don

Great job there Donyboy as always.

Very good information. Thanks.

Great informative clip.

Great tip, Don!

This is common on most walbro and similar manufactured carbs. they run loose tolerances on the brass pipe hole smacking it in deeper has worked well enough for me. Great video never thought of jb weld think I'll follow this method

Great one don thanks for the video will come in handy one day

THANK-YOU VERY MUCH DONYBOY !! STAY AWESOME MATE !!

I do small engine repair as well. I could write a book on the repairs I've done with JB weld. It's great stuff. I agree with you on the long setting one. The 5 min. Stuff is good in a pinch, but if you have the time to wait definitely use the long set one. Great videos!

Interesting discovery! Somebody cranked on that inlet a little hard in the past presumably. Wonder if loctite 603 would be the ideal adhesive, though the jb weld looks like it did a nice job. I've got a leaf blower that's got weird size fuel line holes that I can't match, haven't figured what else I can seal it with. However it's tygon-like fuel line into plastic, which is harder than metal to adhere to. Good tip on the leak tester, I'll have to make a note of that model to get next time I need to buy from a small engine supplier: it's not on Amazon or eBay, surprisingly.

Don, Your videos are great. I have a Poulan Pro that never idled properly since new. After watching your videos I replaced the carb and adjusted it like you instructed. Used the saw today and I ran the best it ever has. I could even sit it down and let it idle while I rolled logs and it didn’t stall like it always did before. Thank You. You are the Man!!!!

445 is a good little saw. I ported the muffler on mine a bit and it has a good bit more bottom end torque than it did. Still wouldn't recommend running anything over an 18" bar on it but it does really good for it's size.

Nice video. You can ghetto-fix it with some metal expoxy. That will get you by for a while. :)

Thanks I’ll check this right away

I do the same thing but I use my Might Vac at 5#. I just hook it up and pump it up to 5# and leave it on the work bench for 30 minutes. After that, it better still read 5# or I start out finding why. I also check the carb on vacuum, too. To check for leaks, I spray the carb down with soapy water from my bottle of soapy water I keep in the shop

Acetone with a qtip works well too fir cleaning.

Dobra robota Dony, jak długo będzie trzymać ten klej .👍💪

I'm dealing with the same problem with the same saw! Idles but soon as you hit the throttle it boggs down really bad. Guess I need to get a pressure tester now. I'm never buying a husqvarna again.! My STIHL saws go and go with no problems!

How do I check the cracked seal leaking air as you suggested? Great videos!

Excellent as always, I really appreciate all the detail and products. Please wrap your thumb under the handle when using the chainsaw! Safety first. Thanks again Dony.

Hi Donyboy! This was a great learning,.. Will trace down my old HQ55, and see if this is the problem.. Also have a 2nd Q. : all blank, but I have a 2015-ish. Generic Chinese 46cc.2kw saw.. - Looks like a stihl chassis.. Can you tell me what settings should I try to get it running.. Saw is almost unused, but can't get it to start..

Hey is there some walbro carburetor what fits in husqvarna 353?

I'm not sure if u caN help but brand new fuel filter, lines,primer bulb,and crab... Rand for a few cuts and now it won't pull fuel into the carb so confused...... husqvarna 240e any help is great

Thanks for your video my husqvarna not 2 years old get very little work in your video you failed to mention the little plug on the right side of the return line of the primer. I put the green plug back but it keeps falling out do you think it be OK to fill that hole with glue or those the plug allow the fuel tank to breath thanks from Australia

That's a super tip. Seeing how that's a OEM Zama with what is essentially a quality control issue, does this change your opinion somewhat concerning OEM vs. aftermarket?

@donyboy73

not really, this could just be a problem on this specific carb

J b weld can fix just about anything! Same with duct tape. I keep both on hand those two things can get you out of a jam.

I have used shellac to seal small leaks over the years, is not affected by petrol.

I JB'd rusted out axel splines on a Honda Fourtrax 250 to rusted out splines hubs. They held for 5 years, could do wheelies NP ; until someone stole it. To remove a hub to make a repair I had to aggressively heat it with an acetylene torch and hammer on it. Good luck to whoever's has it now.

These carburetors aren’t like the ones that we pulled that inlet fitting off of to expose a hidden screen are they? Obviously what you did worked but I was wondering if reseating the inlet fitting using JB Weld would serve better?

Great but what if the carb is dumping too much fuel into the cylinder causing flooding ? (Husky 455 Rancher Autotune)

Tooth pick makes nice clean joints on small areas and no chance of air pockets in the epoxy

Cool

One day my weed whacker started leaking, it was just lying in my truck, it always ran well, and it isn't that old. I tried to order a carb kit thinking a diaphram was broken, but the cost was ridiculous. The carb is a bit unusual so none of the China replacement are the same. I think I might do a pressure test too, it could be just started the same type of leak.

It happens and I have used JB weld in the past.

Hi Don, I enjoy your videos so much! I was wondering if the needle valve in a two-stroke carburetor is not adjusted properly could that lead to flooding the chainsaw super easily. Thanks in advance.

@donyboy73

yes absolutely, make sure the metering lever is always adjusted properly

My husqvarna 562xp after running hard on a large cedar and not getting much of a brake(because we needed to get the boom lift back to the renters) started cutting out and dying when I would try to let it idle. Also couldn't get it started without holding down the throttle or letting it sit and choking it and starting it like normal. Then it would run until I pulled the trigger and immediately die. It was run on husqvarna's recommended gas that they sell. Sometimes I can get it to start like normal and it runs for a few seconds without any choke then it dies. Any ideas? It was broken in last year.

Great tip Don, just curious how old the saw is? Husky offers up to 5 years consumer warranty if you use their premixed fuel. Keep the tips coming I used to use a homemade pressure tester made from a blood pressure tester bulb then upgraded to a Mityvac but that Walbro tester is a nice compact size.

Thanks Dony. I have to get one of those pressure testers. Do you think the problem was a poor casting? In addition, I’ve used JB-Weld to repair a air tank leak and it’s been holding 100+ psi for several years.

Thanks , I had the same problem and went ahead and bought a new carby , same shit happened. It now sits on a shelf awaiting more ... goodness knows what! I have three in this un happy condition

Is one of symptoms of an air leak that a chainsaw will start and idle, but will die as soon as the trigger is pulled (compression is 160 psi and carb kit installed)? I have this problem on my Stihl 026.

I think RTV gasket maker would be a better choice where vibration could be an issue........

is there a way I can send you a short video of my saw performance? having an issue with the saw to stay running. when started it revs an idles then suddenly dies out.

Never knew to pressure test it. Mine is loosing prime. Learn something everyday.
