Man you can learn a lot from Senior! He’s got a great technique and expertise on doing his stuff! Nicely done!

[vanislescotty]

As I watched this video, I thought how in WWII Caterpillar built the dozers that constructed the runways that sent the planes that bombed Japan where years later a company called Makita built the drill that is being used to help restore the Caterpillar dozer. Irony. Things come full circle sometimes. Love the series.

Fine example of experience on what most people consider a lost art, I love it.

[SootHead]

Enjoying the Senior content! It's been a while.

[thomasbailey]

That old stuff is Just so much better built then anything in todays world..Love old Iron..Great Video Senior

[blacksheep]

I’m still amazed that this carb for a little 2 cylinder pony is more complicated than any small engine carb 80s and never that I’ve ever taken apart. Thanks for the video

Another great demo, Senior! I've done a couple of them for the JD R Diesel pony motors. Very cool little carburetors.

Like Senior so is Junior. I see where Junior gets the attention to details and mechanical skills!! Wonderful video and a joy to watch!!

This is great stuff Sr. Thanks for the info on that passage, I’m sure that will help lots of people. Any chance you can post a link to where you got the carb kit from?

[mikelargent]

I wish Sr could be involved with more videos. He has a wealth of knowledge that needs to be shared. Very good series. Thanks

[clydeschwartz]

Wonderful video the screws are a good way to seal off the passages so you can clean them properly

[kmatch]

Out of several ways to control drill depth, take a wooden dowel such as 1/2” and drill down the center of it with the bit you plan to use. With the end of the drilled dowel now hitting the drill chuck cut it to length so the drill bit only has X amount exposed. X is the depth of the hole needed so the dowel limits it to prevent internal carb damage.

It's really cool to keep things original. Please don't get me wrong. But for stuff I use regularly, I see no problem in upgrading to newer parts which just work. Carbs for example.

[princepa]

Very nice tutorial Senior. I sure wish you would do more tutorials on things like: chainsaw sharpening, replacing a axe handle or hammer handle, etc. You have a way with explaining things in a calm and thorough manner.

[regsparkes]

This is a great tip to use in keeping these carbs. clean. Thanks very much for sharing your information here.

[darploin]

squatch senior that is absolutely brilliant Using a 177 caliber pellet To put a plug in a passage of a carburetor I guess it goes use what you have

[thestickfarm]

Nice one Snr. I have never been brave enough to remove lead plugs.

[chief-sr]

Nice job cleaning all those parts. I have had good luck cleaning carbs by spray blasting them with baking soda (powder). Cleans very well and dissolves completely in the final wash.

[KevinJones-pjkx]

You can get short button head screws also. You can trim them before installing them as well.

[darploin]

Also notice how he modulates the speed of the drill hes not going in at full force gives him more control
