Walbro HD199 Fix

[blsnelling]

It's Treemonkey's video.

Yes, that's Scott.

 

[TreeTangler]

Yes I've watched that video. Did everything but I'm not sure how to check the 15psi. Not sure what tool he's using

It's a popoff tester. What is your carb doing?

back around p.17 treemonkey made a video on the fix. it is gone now. maybe you can get him to repost it.

It's a very easy fix. The problem from the beginning was just a bad carb kit from the factory. If yours has the clear blue plastic one, it needs the new kit that has the clear white one. All the new kits I've ordered for them recently are good ones. Do yourself a favour and get one that will tolerate the ethanol fuel. I hope that helps.

My 357xp ran fine with the blue diaphragm but I changed it anyway. The new kit had the amber diaphragm, not a clear white one. Can't say I've ever seen one o' those, btw. Oddly, the saw began exhibiting the symptoms described after I changed to the amber diaphragm. Haven't taken the time to figure out why, but plan on putting the blue diaphragm back in as a first step.

Saw won't idle correctly at all. Bogs horribly after idling most of the time it quits and needs a restart that takes 3 pulls and it won't rev over 12500rpm. I have tried adj and that is not it. New carb rebuild, fuel line/filter, air filter and plug. All was done according to tree monkey video and the hole was drilled on top cover of carb.

 

[huskyhansen]

My rebuild came with an amber ish colored diaphragm but I pulled a clear one out. Could that be the issue?

 

[tree monkey]

oem kit?

I have not seen a clear diaphragm for that carb

 

[huskyhansen]

Honestly couldn't tell ya if it was oem

 

[huskyhansen]

I'll get a picture tomorrow.

 

[huskyhansen]

that's the one that was originally in the carb. Color looks much lighter in person. The one in the rebuild currently in carb was much darker

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

That's the one referred to as the 'amber' one....and supposedly the correct one...., or at least the correct 'color'. Looks identical to the one in the K24 kit I recently bought. Very, very, very thin.

 

[huskyhansen]

Yes very thin wonder what the other one is I put in carb? I'll swap them and see what happens

 

[LegDeLimber]

Take a look at that original diaphragm.
The center hole where the screw goes and then look at the 2 corners where the locating pins are.
Now I'd have to have the carb in front of me to know if the flaps would be far enough offset to leak.
Anyone else wondering if that was related to the problem?

Ask me how know, that it will keep your friends mower,
from running worth a hoot.

 

[tree monkey]

ya I saw it, could be
after market is darker and thicker, never had luck with them
