* VISUALLY EXPLAINED by Craig Kirkman, a renowned you tube educator of these systems. Very few people know this, but there is a very special Pump inside your Chainsaw Carburetor, and any malfunction of the pump and can cause a whole host of problems (bog, incorrect running and starting issues, to name just some). Powered by the fuel pump diaphragm, this pump is the heart of the 2 stroke chainsaw carburetor. This is why 2 Stroke Carburetors actually need fuel adjustment screws. Have you ever wondered: What does adjusting the needle on a Carb do? How do you properly adjust a carburetor? How do I know if my Carburetor is too Rich or Lean? What is the adjustment screw on the bottom of the Carburetor? This might surprise you! Uniquely explained, this video will give you a firm understanding of how to adjust your chainsaw two stroke carburetor. Having this knowledge will give you for more confidence when undertaking any adjustments and repair work on these small but tricky carburetors. I really hope you enjoy.

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.

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
