PLEASE KEEP IN MIND when you are watching my videos: I am demonstrating the least expensive, quickest "backyard", "backwoods"methods for repairing or servicing your lawnmower. Replacing all components such as gaskets and fuel lines is always recommended when rebuilding or repairing equipment. With these videos I hope you are able to fix and repair your lawnmower yourself with minimal parts, knowledge and tools. Remember to always work safely and follow proper mechanic procedures. Thank you for watching!
Jeff
You’re great! I followed the video and now my Craftsman runs like it should.
one of the best engines made by B/S love working on those when I had a repair shop, thanks for sharing
I agree!! Thanks friend!
Very nice and detailed explained, explained the pitfalls too, thanks a big lot !!!
By now I have to deal with water in the fuel system, snow-blower that rested 2 yrs in a barn, through
day/night temp.-changes built up moisture in the fuel and drove me mad....
Great video! Thank you for sharing!!
Great Job! Your the first person to show the part number. Thanks for your video.
Glad to help
i myself thank you so much sir for making this video,, it solved my rebuild issue.. keep up the awesome work ..
Very Good video. I use wooden dowels, stick them in the screw holes, slide all the gaskets and parts over them, then take them out one at a time and install the screws. Seems to help hold all the stuff in place. Thanks
Thanks friend, good tips!
This was very helpful. One thing, I actually put in about 4 oz of fuel in carb before installing the top of carb back on. Having the fuel in the carb, made for a very quick start without having to crank long. I also used carb cleaner stray and shot it through the passages. Runs great now.
you all probably dont give a shit but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot the password. I love any help you can offer me!
@Lane Kolton instablaster :)
@Deacon Braydon thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Deacon Braydon it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass !
@Lane Kolton no problem xD
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
Nice video. I like to go over the carb with a toothbrush and some solvent before I crack it apart. This helps eliminate the possibility of debris falling down into the carb.
Great tip!
Subscribed. Very informative video! It will come in handy when I go to rebuild my Simplicity 6216 with this exact engine. Handed down from Dad, who bought the tractor new, the carb has never been touched except for a rebuild of the fuel pump 10 years ago. Today, I had a hydrolock on one cylinder when I went to start her up, so I suspect a faulty float valve/needle sealing.
yep sounds like it flooded
Nice job. I wound up buying a new carburetor after watching this video ahah
Good work & music!!! Even though I'm diehard AC⚡DC fan..
Thanks friend! I like them too!
First time I have ever saw any mechanic rebuild a carb and not soak it or check out the linkage or anything, you know, details of what it takes to do a job right.
All I can say is that I don't waste time doing things that don't need to be done.
The material you were calling THIS is the "Fuel Pump Diaphragm" as for the springs simply put a dab of grease on them and they will not move or fall out, and I do mean a SMALL dab!
What is the foam ring for? Can't find it on my carb. I also have 2 New needle screws in my rebuild kit. Only one on the carb. Also my main jet is attached to an electric solenoid that didn't come in the kit. I'm assuming spare pieces are for other alternate models. Thanks. Great video.
I use Vaseline on the small springs and gaskets to hold in place. The gas will wash it off.
Use a knife blade to hold springs and diaphragm in place as you assemble cover and screws
Ah ha! Magically at 5:50(ish) you're talking about the main jet, yet in the background,the fuel pump is already removed! Time travel? Are you related to Doc Brown? Lol!
haha! ooops
Great video , I have a 16 horse Briggs Stratton twin there's vacuum on the engine i rebuild the pump as you showed ,. But it isn't sucking gas at all doesn't seem to have any vacuum leak's what is my next move i open for ideas thank you for your video
Make sure fuel line is not kinked or plugged. Make sure vacume tube/hose from engine to pump is not damaged. The float bowl should fill up with gas eventually when you try to start the engine the first time after servicing. It can take awhile you must try to start/turn for 30 seconds or so before the carb fills up with gas. Also, double check your work something may not be right.
i swear i play vr with you, voice twin
You said someone must have rebuilt the carburetor. I think you meant to say someone rebuilt the carb then swapped engines. I have NEVER seen an LTX Cub with an opposed twin. Probably better off than the Kohler Crappage motor. ;)
Thanks for the video I needed the part number but watched the whole thing! Did all of the gaskets and springs come in that one kit?
yes.
@@JeffsLittleEngineService thanks!
Great step by step video, thanks! But I did everything and rebuilt the carb for mine (same engine as yours) and still have to run it with some choke. All ports cleaned and clear. All new gaskets and float pin w/spring. Float in great condition. Rebuilt and everything great on the fuel pump. But still will only run with choke about half at full throttle and almost all the way out at idle. Very frustrating!
You may have used the wrong gasket or missed cleaning some passage ways inside the carb.. You are still having a carburetor problem
Or perhaps the engine is only running on 1 cylinder
Good video but the gasket you used under the float didn't match the one that you took off the carb. I saw one that looked like it would have matched it better in that handful of gaskets that you had. Just an observation but I didn't know if it might would have effected the carb function.
good eye! You are right, the gasket I used did have an extra hole but it was ok to use.
@@JeffsLittleEngineService no the gasket you used has round opening and smaller opening which would affect fuel air mixture you are an amateur buddy you should watch how to videos not make em
I have a 19.5 Briggs and have torn down the carb and put a kit in it but it still runs too rich and misses and blows black smoke. The air screw has no adjustment. Would the fuel pump be causing this or a passage in the carb be stopped up? Thanks
Black smoke usually means too much fuel, running rich. Probably not the fuel pump more like carb problems. Also, MAKE SURE YOU have spark on both sides. I have seen this when 1 coil goes out
@@JeffsLittleEngineService Thanks Jeff
Since you have easy access to your carb ,wouldn’t be easier to dismount it to work on it . I saw you struggling with the fuel pump gaskets / springs . I am working on a yard man 19.5 twin carb exactly like yours ,but the only way I could work on it is dismounting the carb off the motor .
sometimes I have to do that
Hi Jeff, I have a 17HP Twin and my engine just started to rev up then slow down. ( It was running fine four days ago. I topped off the fuel before covering it ). When I pulled the filter exposing the carb, when it started to slow down, it would squirt fuel and causing it to rev up. Once the fuel supply was used, it would repeat the cycle of squirting more fuel, etc. Have any thoughts for troubleshooting it. Will I have to rebuild my carb? From what I suspect, there may be a vacuum leak for the fuel pump.
yes clean and rebuild carb and fuel system
Jeff's Little Engine Service
So that same jet adjustment screw is for low and high speed?
mostly for low speed operation but it is involved with high speed operation also.
Did you use any carb cleaner and blow out the ports and passages off camera?
yes, I did sorry I did not show, I used a little bit of carb cleaner and compressed air. I always try to get everything as clean as possible.
Ya can't film it all I know but some ppl will use your video (which is pretty good) as a tutorial to try it themselves. If they read the comments they'll know there is more steps which may not be shown.
+Jeff's Little Engine Service my carb and engine is very hard to find fuel solenoid
I know I can cut the tip off and screw it back in but some idiot drilled and tapped its hole so its bigger
My kit only came with all the gaskets for the fuel pump and carburetor and flot needles and the needle spring and one red tiny plastic o ring a a little bit bigger black o ring as long as I don't lose the springs in the fuel pump can I get away with the kit I got and how do I tell witch needle I need to use I always use the wrong one every time I rebuild a flot carburetor
you must pay attention and match up the correct parts
I have a 19.5 hp briggs and stratton engine. Same application?
If it is an opposed twin cylinder engine like this, then yes.
Got everything cleaned out and back as it should, adjusted as it should be...still does NOT run. Primed with starting fluid several times. It just refuses to pull fuel through. Guess it is so bad a new carburetor is the last hope.
This is a good Walbro carburetor. If the carburetor is a Nikki, replace it with the Walbro. Problem solved.
THE SPRING CAME OFF WITH THE PLASTIC SPACER.
good eye! I must need some glasses!
Can you rebuild mine if I send it to you?
Thanks for asking, have you tried your local old man lawnmower repair guy yet?
No decent techs around here...not even at dealers
Blow on flot valve fo see if it good
I didnt see you clean ANY ports and sure was dirty outside getting a lot of dirt rite back in.
Pull the Welch plug to clean the passages good. And the side hole on the main jet
good tips
Money calling
Your air filter could have also caused your problems and you don't rebuild a carb that is still mounted on the engine.
psh
As I watched every time I wanted to curse you for working outside, using a plastic container for a bench , etc, you would do something right, call a part by its correct name etc. Good job. Sometimes we get by with what we have....
lol!
