    I can't tell you how relaxing it is to watch a small engine repair video after getting home from work and replacing the low beam bulb on a 2012 for fusion. You have to take the coolant overflow off to get at it at all and then they provide about 2 inches of wiring behind the bulb just to make you say some really bad things. I don't know how he thought that snowblower was going to start with that carburetor hanging off there like that. Thanks for another great repair video Random !!

    Just finished watching this. I really like your videos they are well done with good, easy to follow explanations. That said, if you still have this machine I would suggest you have another quick look at it and maybe pop the carb again. The spring for the throttle shaft is not hooked up. You can see it clearly at time stamp 6:05. You could just hook it back on. But given the state the customer left the carb, if it were me I'd want to check the throttle plate and make sure it wasn't removed and reinstalled wrong, loose or a combination there of, if you haven't already caught it. I've seen people go to unnecessary lengths to install linkage when they don't have the experience. Just my two cents.

So thank you very much! I do have one other issue and that is the cover by the carb, choke, throttle etc. (at 37:50 mark of your video). The screws or bolts that were holding it in place on my unit are gone. The cover is only holding on by one screw and it vibrates like crazy when running. Do you have any suggestions on what kind of screw or bolt I can buy to secure it down?

    One of the few models that use an actual ball bearing on the impeller shaft instead of the brass bushing I see on so many.

Someone before me had already changed the piston and rings, and apart from the top it looked almost new! There was also no play between the piston and chamber and I wonder if the issue resides somewhere else, maybe the carb. Also the spark plug was sooted. Any ideas? Should I put new rings and piston?

    I need to bring up a couple points for your viewers. This is not a battery tester, it’s a battery LOAD tester. People should understand the difference. Also, 230 CCA is not a lot. It’s what many lawn tractors come with from the factory to save costs. They will work but I wouldn’t buy one. 350 CCA is more like what lawn tractors should come with, especially the larger engines.

      This unit is nowhere near being called a load tester with its 22ga tiny little wires. Its an electronic tester that measures internal resistances and capacitance to get an idea of what the health is like. Good link here... cloreautomotive.com/battery-testers-and-load-testers-tools-with-different-purposes/ Load testers have a large resistor in them somewhere that loads the battery down, using large gauge cables. Also, I have found over many years that a quality 230CCA battery is just fine here in the cold north. Stay away from anything less though

It has almost the exact same process and display for testing. The button labeling is different. The beep on this one is annoying and unnecessary.

      Like I said in the video, I have an older type load tester as well. They each have their place. A real load test requires the battery to be at least 85% charged to be accurate, while these little testers can be accurate on a battery with a much lower state of charge.
