2 Stroke Engines work upside down | 4 Stroke Engines cannot. This is why!

* VISUALLY EXPLAINED by Craig Kirkman, a renowned you tube educator of these systems. Have you ever wondered why a two stroke engine can work up side down, and a conventional four Stoke engine cannot? Well, its all in their design of course, and this video will help make this a little more clear. Generally, both the two stroke carburetor as well as the engine, is structured very much different. The two stroke usually uses a vacuum type mechanism, where as the conventional four stroke carburettor has a float bowl structure where the neat gasoline fuel will contained ready to be used by the main jet.

Episode 34: Mixed up Screws! for Carburetor Fuel Air Adjustment | (on Chainsaw, Weed Wacker etc)

* VISUALLY EXPLAINED by Craig Kirkman, a renowned you tube educator of these systems. In this situation, I show you, that you must find any possible differences you possibly can between the two Fuel Adjuster Screws (Different threads, different lengths, different thicknesses, different shape, different ends and so on). Then you need to check the carburetors fuel screw holes and try to match the screw with a particular hole that you think could accept one of the fuel screws.

Chainsaw Engine Damage - 3 Common Causes 'Explained' - Chainsaw wont Start - BOG DOWN

For more useful information please take a look at my website: https://www.therepairspecialistonline.com/ If you are having any difficulties starting or running your chainsaw, then this free printable Fix-it checklist download on my website will help you. I'm a big fan of Stihl two stroke oil. I have used it for many years and it has always provided my two stroke engines with super quality lubrication and protection from engine wear, all whilst at the same time allowing great engine running. I have always found this brand to be of fantastic quality at a reasonable price, and have been using this type of oil for many years.

If you have an issue with any machinery and you feel you are not qualified to repair the issue, then please consult a professional repair dealership rather than undertake the repair work yourself.

Thank you I want to help people understand as I was helped by some fantastic mentors during my years as a University student, in Science, and a trainee apprentice as an engineer. In fact, I could NOT have became a qualified repair engineer, followed by a Science graduate and post graduate, followed by the creation of these videos, if I never had these wonderful people in my life. Sadly, some of them are no longer with us to see these videos, which I really want to dedicate to them. My very first manager (Mr Nadin), who gave me a chance straight out of school despite me not being the most ideal candidate for the position of engineers apprentices at the time. He believed he could make an engineer of me. So first of all, if it were not for him I wouldn't be here with all of this knowledge today. I will always respect him and remain grateful to him for what he did for me. I'm so pleased I achieved an apprentice of the year award in 1994 to give him back some satisfaction that I was working hard, and that his belief in me paid off. I also want to dedicate these to my Father, who is still a practising engineer, for always pushing me into this field and ensuring I applied my mind to it. More than anyone else, I want to dedicate these to my amazing late mother, who nurtured, cared, loved and motivated me all of my life. When I was down she would always reach down and stand me back up again, telling me I was worth something. I only wish I could thank her in person and show her these videos. I realise now that she was my biggest and most amazing mentor. Thank you for 40 Golden years mom. I am always thinking of you! Finally, I want to give all of my love and gratitude to my incredible wife, the only woman I ever have, and ever will, truly love. She is my Rock! She is the only person who believes in me, and supports me, 100% in all of my endeavours. She believed in me from the moment we met, and saw some potential in me. She provided me with two amazing children, who have added a very challenging but completeness to our lives. In this video I explain 3 common causes of chainsaw engine damage those with little or no experience (the complete novice). Some of the symptoms for this type of issue can be: -the engine will not start, -engine will start but not run correctly (loss of power, over revving, under revving, uneven running, carburettor will not adjust correctly, and many more) -engine will BOG down -engine will not even turn over (crank) I hope you will learn a few things about how a chainsaw works and save money on large repair bills. I will include the links mentioned in the video very shortly Many thanks indeed Craig Kirkman (Owner and Creator of the 'The Repair Specialist' Channel) including chainsaw will not start
