Hi Dony.I just rebuilt the carb on a deere model 56 with a tecumseh V60 , 6 HP engine.Having a hard time finding the diagram for hooking up the linkage for it. I think it `was not hooked correctly when I got it. I did look at your video on carb rebuild and must say your videos are perfect , clear and informative. The best online.
Thank you! This was the only video I could find that explained the spinning carb bolts. My carb worked it's way loose and I couldn't get in there to tighten it until I saw this video. Thanks again!
I rebuilt the carburetor this spring on a 7 hp techumseh simplicity snow blower following your video. This winter we are having record snowfall ! My snow blower has worked like it's new ! I never have done engine work and this was a first for me, I was so successful I did my garden tiller- same excellent results. We just had another 7 in snow last night and again the snow blower started on the first pull and performed great. thank you so much for your video it made this winter's snow rather enjoyable ... rather than a nightmare ! thanks again and God Bless !! Rick , in Indiana.
you're welcome
probably the best way to go
Good video i took somany carbs like that from tecumseh and they are tricky they like to be perfect clean or they won't run properly. I can't wait to see part2 ... god bless you and you family ..

If you like them, then you will also like scannerdanner and realfixesrealfast.
They both have automotive videos but, donyboy73 is the best small engine guy on youtube I can find.
What a great video! I was able to rebuild my neighbors carb on a Toro 5 HP blower for a measley 13.00 buks. You were VERY precise and after following your instructions, it now runs like a new one. Saved a whole load of money. Thanks for your time in making this excellent video.
nice to hear!
Thanks, this helped me get my old Snapper 5hp snowblower running. DIdn't work after I cleaned the carb, but after I took it apart again and used the drill bit in the tube, all this crap came out. Ran great after that, thanks for the tip.
Thanks Dony, I live in Australia NSW It never snows where I live, I don't know anyone who has a snow blower. BUT I loved watching this; Love your work !
Thanks for video helped me fully clean and get my craftsman snowblower that has been sitting for 10 years back up and running. My carb looked about as dirty inside as this one in the video. maybe next time ill grab a rebuild kit for it but for how old it is the o rings and parts seemed to be in way better condition than I was expecting. I could never get my float to sit like you did it was up too high even after bending tab but it works 100 percent now anyway.
Thank you!!!!!! I followed your directions and I got my old 7 hp Ariens going. The video was very helpful.. Thanks again
donyboy. This video uses very good camera angles. very professional. this is why i enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the awesome videos.
Great Video and very very detailed. Hope you get some Outboards soon in your shop.
Thanks for all these videos and all the answers to my questions!!!
try propane but not much as the heat can melt it, i also use penetrating oil and a finishing nail to get it out
Nice vid. Been missing the carb rebuilds.
yes rtv silicone or permatex motoseal will work for those damaged gaskets
Interesting to see what 'varnished fuel' does and looks like, usually you only read about it. Thx Don :)
Great Video as always Don!
thanks
if it runs good then don't worry about it, if you knoe anyone with an ultrasonic cleaner that would help
Thanks Dony .
Nice Video !
try replacing the needle valve in the carb or adjusting the float
thank you
thanks for watching
As always, another great and very informative video. Great work, cant wait for pt. 2.
Great video and great camera work too!!
If the nuts spin on the carb mount you could also pull the carb away from the engine and keep pressure on the nuts so they don't spin.
Is the motor bogging down? If the motor is not bogging down a whole lot it may be the belt slipping. You may have to retention the auger belt or if its already at the limit then you'll have to replace the belt. When I replaced the auger belt on my main machine it went from shoting only 1-3 feet to shooting like 6-12 feet depending on how heavy the snow is. It was a night and day difference. Good luck.
Great video, Don! Can't wait to see part 2. God bless. John
WOW THANKS for watching them all, you will be very well educated! lol
I use a jewlers screw driver to remove the needle seat :) Overcome, adapt and Improvise...Going to get the proper tool though!
Hi Don,
Great videos!!
I have a 8/24" Techumseh Snow blower HMSK80 155448S (D) D"O"M 4273R. How do I remove the Red knob from the Choke control lever so that I can remove the cover to access the carburator for servicing. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Hi. Great videos. I have a toro 521tecumseh carb. There's a small tube that's part of the main jet. So when you attach the bowl that center piece has a small tube attached to it. Another video said there's a ball in there that moves and we should hear it move. I don't. Is that true ? Says to be careful putting in the air mixture screw could damage it. Can you help ? Thx.
Hi Dony love your videos, I have and old troy built tiller with tecumesh motor the carb looks like this one your video, every time i use the tiller when it leans on the side of the carburetor ( right side) there's some gas leaking to the air filter cover and start choking the engine, I have it check last year and they replace the floater in the carb any idea whats causing the gas leak, the machine works just fine as long as the tiller don't lean towards the carburetor side. thanks for any input.
Good timing i am taking a carb off cub cadet 100 that wont start or run. it only runs momentarily with the help of starting fluid. what would u recommend for parts? complete carb kit!
good one
Good Stuff !!
check partstree dot c they have diagrams and part numbers
I just cleaned a carb from a 2005 Honda Metro scooter. Now my cleaning went well with the jets etc. but I used carb cleaner and let it set 1 day and it still needed more work, do you recommend anything else for this cleaning?
thanks for watching!

I've got a 5.5 hp Tecumseh in a Craftsman snowblower .. maybe 15 yrs old looks a bit different..
you got vid on this ?
replaced the needlevalve mini gasket..fresh gas... elec start.. few revs it started ... ran ok under load.. the second I let go of the wheel drive and the auger drive .. the engine wanted to race.. is the governor a suspect ?
hay donyboy do you have a video, on converting a points and condeser, to elecetric magnito useing a magnito, frome another engine,
great job as always. i have a chance to buy a 10 hp chipper it needs a new piston and rod. what do they go for price wise?
Great videos. I am rebuilding the carb on a 7hp Tecumseh, and I cannot remove the pin that secures the float. Not the float needle, just the pin that the float rotates on. I soaked it in carb cleaner, tried using needle nose pliers to spin it free, but I got nothing. I read trying heat can help, but I don't have a torch or a heat gun. Any suggestions?
are you certain it was mixed gas? Here in BC, we have dyed farm and marine gas in green and purple.....
I have mine put back together but it looks like the throttle is all messed up. When the throttle is set to slow, the spring like bends over on itself. Wondering if it got pulled too far Also it only runs on half choke. Don't know it that's an idle air issue or bowl nut adjustment.
hey bud awesome vid i was working on pretty much the same snowblower carb did everything work on alot carbs but this one i just cant get right~! i dont know if some one got the wrong float kit in it i see its got s new tehcumseh float plastic up graded,, Anyways cleaned it a million times still will run and seems to run out of fuel so i adjusted the float level abit more still same thing runs very nice then shuts off pull the bowl still has fuel in bowl? Thinking maybe points? but that doesnt make sense either cause you prime it abit runs starts right up! However did notice if you shake the snowblower abit it changes stuff runs differently? Must be something in carb is not the points? maybe the float or is this a classic new seat problem cause i never did change that yet! or the needle port needs cleaning maybe its hanging up jamming the float shut or open?
Thanks great info.
I'm having an issue where the nuts just spin with the bolts when trying to get off the carb. The issue is one of the phillips screws came out. The one on the right side where u have to angle your screw driver has a stripped head. Any suggestions on how removing the bolt? or getting the bolts with the nuts to stop spining?
hey donyboy,
i got 2 weed eaters. both need primer bulbs. ones a homelite and the other is a yard machine. can u show me how to replace them. and also there leaking gas. where the line gose into the tank its leaking between the line and the tank. how could i fix it?
Hi donyboy73. Thanks a lot for your videos. They're great! Do you know what part number the two large gaskets has between the carburetor and the "motor" (sorry, I don't know the word)? I got a Tecumseh H60-75447P (I think it's from -80).
I've ordered the kit and I'm waiting for the parts to come.
Thanks again!
how about a beer?
I just got an old tractor with a 7hp Tecusmeh engine. It's leaking oil and gas from the carburetor. where do you find seals and gaskets?
Can you PLEASE help me? I'm stumped. I have an Earthquake 9800 post hole digger with a 3.8 HP Tecumseh engine. I have overhauled the carb. It cranks right up and runs. It throttles up. It seems pretty close to done. the problem is, it sputters a little. I replaced the emulsion tube, the tube O-rings, the bowl gasket, and it has a new air filter. The float is good, needle moves freely, everything looks great but it sputters a bit while it's running. Fresh gas too.I also took that little brass screw out of the side of the carb and it's clean too. I bought a bulk bag of the Viton O-rings that go on the emulsion tube. I'm wondering if they might be the wrong size. Can you tell me the size so I can check. Other than that I don't have a clue.
Is there a new carb complete with float bowl for a tecumseh V60-70363J online or somewhere else? Im trying to keep my old snapper running.
this video would be the closest diagram i have on video
what kind of carb cleaners do you use i use berrymans b12 chemtool
crack open another can of carb cleaner an lets celebrate 600 ! WTG
I have a Tecumseh roadatiller that won't start and it's carb is completely clean, I tried putting starter fluid on the air filter and it still won't start, and the valve timing is right what could be the matter?
Hi, i have a 12 y/o Ariens snowblower with an HS50 techumseh engine. Will start, run strong for 30 sec to 1 minute then die. Then, wont start again for another hour. Cleaned old carb, same result. Installed new carb same result. New spark plug with new carb, same result. Any ideas??
approx 3/4 turn out
Hey Dony, I have a Toro 7/24 I believe 1980 model #38050. I swapped engines with an identical model and had it running but the blower stopped and I have been unable to get it started since. I have rebuilt the carb from both blowers and neither gets the blowerrunning. It seems like it wants to start and then dies. I have good spark and it is getting fuel . Please help I am at my wits end....
My metal parts rusted and slowed the flow from my gas tank. Started good but starved with in minutes.
This means you'll have rust in your float bowl also. Acts as a settling tank and if metal , tons of rust because of an off season water problem. My machine is 45 years old so everything is metal.
Don or anybody, I have the same carb on 6hp hh60 Tecumseh engine. When I start itt runs for about 6 seconds then dies. I thought the gas line was clogged. I would pull fuel from carb and let the fuel line drain to ground. Every time I do this the fuel coming from line was orange color for a few seconds until clear fuel came out. It seems the orange color is coming from the carb. I took bowl off but it was very clean. Any thoughts on this.
Hello all I have a question. I have a 7hp Tecumseh , mtd snow blower. I start the engine normally , with the choke opened and the engine start right up. Once the engine is running I switch the choke to the closed position and the engine will stop running. What may cause that problem? From my understanding the engine is suppose to remain running when I shift the choke back to the closed position. Please help, thank you
Hey donyboy 73, question, is it possible to convert a Tecumseh hm80 single shaft pto to a dual shaft pto if you switch the back of engine and add the longer cam shaft???- just wondering your experience with this. thanks... rick
+ricker bear yes it is
I did as described with a new needle and seat, carb leaks fuel through air filter?
you might need a new float
that was due to the old gas
corel video studio
I have a 6.5 I need a new carburetor how can I find the part number on my motor
Have the bloke pick up a 6 of kinger's
Like the vid DON.
i found a lawnmower that was sitting for seven years and when I opened the bowl the gas had turned the bowl a weirdish orange that will never come off
just pull it out, watch your fingers
previous owner
lol why you had Mixed gas in it?
just buy a new bowl, they are inexpensive
Oh man, carb cleaner to the eye is the WORST.
This bowl is almost as dirty as the one in my apartment.
Oh yea, and I replaces the spark plug.
lol ok. I think they didn't what fuel it needed :)
