Diagnosing and repairing both 2 stroke and 4 stroke small engine carburetors is something even experienced mechanics can have difficulty with. Here I show a common fault that few people know about and how to repair it!
Engine bogging and stalling, hard starts and even your purge bulb sucking air are all symptoms of the accelerator pump failing! This problem affects both name brand carburetors from Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo as well as after market copy carburetors or clones. This video will save you time, money and frustration by teaching you how to repair carburetors found on your chainsaws, weed eaters, lawn mowers, leaf blowers and many other other small engines at home without any specialist or expensive tools!
