About

I repair neglected power equipment. This channel was started because I found a lack of good content regarding portable generator repair and wanted to document some of the things I came across to help others dealing with similar issues. These videos are detailed and long, but would rather leave the details in to help those who are learning. Do what I do at your own risk. Generator voltages are lethal. Small engines can cause serious injury. Gasoline is explosive and moving parts can cause serious injury. Always use power equipment outside. This is not an instructional video but meant for entertainment. I am not a trained small engine professional or certified in generator repair. No information contained in this video shall create any expressed or implied warranty or guarantee of any particular result. Any injury, damage, or loss that may result is the sole responsibility of the user. If you want give back, use PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/jamescondonYT

This Echo PB-500H blower is locked up. It belonged to one of Ken's (@KensSmallEngineRepair) customers. The customer declined the repair and told Ken to to keep it. Ken sent it our way. I was told it was staight gassed and needs a rebuild. So lets rebuild it! Echo Model: PB-500H Echo Carburetor Rebuild Kit: P003002230 K-10-WLA-306: https://www.echopartsonline.com/echo-...

I no longer use Harbor Freight Super Heavy Duty Degreaser in my ultrasonic cleaner. Harbor Freight changed the recipe. The bottle previously stated "NON-CORROSIVE". Now it says "CORROSIVE", "do not user on Aluminum". It now damages most carburetors. Recently I have been using Simple Green PRO HD with good results. #Shindaiwa #echo #SmallEngineRepair #SmallEngine #DIY #Fixed #Troubleshooting #HowTo 2-Stroke, Air Leak, Carburetor Adjustment, Carburetor, EB-508RT, EPA, Echo, Fixed, Frozen Ring, How To, How-To, Lean, Low Speed Needle, Locked Up, Locked-Up, Micro D, PB-500, PB-500H, PB-500T, PB500, PB500T, Rebuild, Repair, Scored Piston, Seized, Shindaiwa, Single D, Small D, Small Engine Repair, Small Engine, Straight Gassed, Tiny D, Top End, Troubleshooting, Two Stroke 00:00 Intro 01:21 Unsticking the Engine 06:26 Teardown 06:57 First Look at the Damage 07:43 Pulling the Jug 11:50 Piston Removal 12:53 Assessing the Damage 13:59 Taking Stock 15:04 Assembling the Piston 19:36 Piston Install 22:58 Assembling the Jug 25:02 Cylinder Installation 27:13 Intake Manifold and Reed Valve 31:58 Unpeeling the Layers 34:18 Carburetor Install 36:04 Where is the Evidence? 38:08 First Start 42:24 Carb Issues or an Air Leak? 43:12 Carb Rebuild 55:30 Fixed? 57:12 The Clone War 1:05:34 Hopefully it Idles Better 1:08:53 Clogged OEM Carb or Needle Adjustment to Blame? 1:10:24 Trying it Out 1:16:12 Conclusion
