If you work on small engines, chances are you'll come across a Briggs and Stratton Snow Series engine, equipped with either a Walbro, or Nikki carburetor.
These are 2 very different carburetors, and thus feature 2 different mounting designs.
The Nikki Carburetors will have 2 Studs that thread into the engine, which have male Torx T25 ends on them.
To remove these studs properly, you will require an E5 socket. I chose an E5 socket with a 3/8" drive, because that's what size my impact tools are.
As for the Walbro carburetor, it has 2x 10mm headed bolts. However, fitting a socket in that area is next to impossible, and removing them with a wrench is difficult, due to limited space.
To easily remove these bolts, I recommend a T30 extended torx bit, with a 3/8" drive. As a bonus, if you're looking to purchase an extended torx bit, you might as well get the T30H bit, which is a "security" bit, that will allow you to remove special "tamper-proof" screws and bolts.
Additionally, if you work on Stihl chainsaws, I would also recommend a T27H torx bit as well!

The Neiko set I listed in the photo is the 10080A (non security set). If you want the security set, you'll have to purchase the 10062A kit. Tekton makes the E5 socket, and it's available in 1/4" or 3/8" drive.
Yes! I never think to let my viewers know about special tools that you need awesome video man
Thanks Medic!
Well put Jeremy and congratulations on hitting that 100K mark buddy!
If you don't have an E5 socket for the carburetor studs then put both nuts on one stud and tighten them against each other until they are jammed tight. Put a wrench on the nut closer to the carburetor and use it to take the stud out. When it is off use two wrenches to loosen the nuts and repeat on the remaining stud. Reverse the procedure to reinstall the studs
That is an excellent comment and a system we use on a regular basis here at EP. Not sure if you work on a lot of equipment but we salvage lots of parts from scrap engines that are seized or blown up from low oil making a point to keep the carb mounting studs. The ones that are long enough and without the shoulder are used when working on Honda engines to keep all the parts and gaskets aligned when the carb is removed. Watch the Lawnmower Lady on UA-cam Stella uses 10mm studs a really good video.
Yes we have used the double nut technique on many engines with carb studs. The thing is, for these Briggs engines with the Nikki carbs, it's so much quicker to use the E5 and they come right off.
I remember using a Sae small socket can’t remember what size, but definitely been looking for a set like these to ease the work, much better when having the right tools
Good stuff there ol-boy thanks for sharing. Tell the old man Rooster said "hey"
Hey back atcha Rooster keep those tail feathers moving buddy!
You got it
E6 sockets is used for Toyota RAV4 valve cover wire harness stud removal too . Every one should a small set of these
I've never worked on a Toyota, but good to remember. Thanks for watching Patrick!
Glad you got that socket set to do the job there on those special bolts and nuts on certain types of engine,s and yard care equipment
Yes it's almost like they don't want anyone to work on these lol thanks for watching!
@@EliminatorPerformance you are welcome young man 👍😎
Always in the market for tools
Jake just bought the top of the line Fluke voltage tester, this thing does everything but drive a car and Ken at Kens Small Engine in Conn. USA says they are the best. Basically we have all our old voltage meters now for sale.
Yes I could spend all our profits on new tools, I have my eye on a few things. Maybe some videos for 2023 🤔😏
Good day Jake I found a snowblower like this side of road, I guess I won't being working on carb if I need those special tools. Good video. Thanks Jake
Thanks Don!
Good tools o have in the shop
100% right on there Hank
Thanks Henry!
Thanks, Jake. 👍
Thanks for watching Rein!
I could use one of those E5 today
Makes quick work of those studs!
Great video idea I'm just glad it did cost me any money.
At the rate I buy tools, I might not have any money left 😅
I will definitely be looking those special sockets thru my small engine journey thanks for the video Jake 👨🔧
Thanks TW!
Really nice if you can find them at a flea market or garage sale for cheap eh?
@@waynestefinashen239 exactly sir
Yes Sir your correct, can’t destroy bolts unless you wont to be out of business
Always need the correct tools, these 2 Sockets make those carbs a breeze! Thanks for watching!
Neiko i like. Great tips bud. Nice when you have the right tool for the job
Yes definitely, I enjoy buying tools just to have them when I need them
Going into his 9th year of business Jake has purchased many tools that have decreased time and effort on repair and service jobs. This then has lowered any aggravation factors and helped make the shop a very likeable business venture. You will daily hear at EP "lucky we got this tool eh?" or "number one tool in the shop!"
@@waynestefinashen239 lol oh i bet you do hear that because nothing more satisfying then doing a job and knowing its a pain but remembering that you have the tool for the job.
Great idea for gifts , good video .
Yes definitely, thanks for watching!
Great info Jake! Awesome tips;
Thanks Don!
NIce video, does Walbro make any carbs that will replace the Niki carbs? Thanks for the video.
From what I have seen, Taryl Fixes All has a video on swapping a Nikki to a Walbro but that's on a riding mower
I find the Nikki carbs a pain in the butt. Although i have done enough of them they are getting easier but i find i always need to pressure test then bench test to ensure they do not flood.
Nice to have that’s fursure
good stuff brother!
Thanks Tom!
I use those with the hole for assembling bathroom partitions and playground equipment
Pick your brain question, Briggs and Stratton Nikki 2 barrel carb has spring on choke shaft to hold open which is operating off solid cable with choke knob. I bought aftermarket carb that doesn't have spring on choke shaft. My question is can I use aftermarket carb since choke cable opens and closes choke?
That should be no problem BUT check very carefully the choke plate opening we have seen many aftermarket 2 barrel carbs that were bigger than the OEM and required the air intake to be ground out for the choke to fully open. Our customers requested these aftermarket carbs due to $ savings. Problem ran fine for 15 minutes cutting our front lawn and 45 minutes at customers than started to run crappy. Ended up swapping out to OEM for $525 and still running fine for second year.
Great information brother thanks 😊
Thanks for watching!
Nice informative video Jake, thank you sir. 👍👊
Thanks for watching John!
Anytime brother 👍🏼
@@Big_Johns What i picked up another son?
🤣 Yes, I’m the slower older one. 😳
@@Big_Johns Funny you would say that cause that is a hoot and last night we had an owl in the backyard for the first time ever just Hooting away.
You can get individual specialty tools without buying the whole set.
In the long run,
The less you spend,
The more you bank.
Each time this kind of thing comes up, you'll be glad when you don't have so many bought that go unused and fill your drawers.
Yes absolutely, which is why I recommended that as an alternative option to buying whole sets like I did. Thanks for watching!
@@EliminatorPerformance yeah, I was led to believe I needed sets when we first had torx, then tamper proof torx, then female torx, it never ends.
The way I used some of them is to work on all makes, then found the best were brittle.
Back then.
If I knew which would be needed, I could keep spares and change the piece in each holder when there was trouble.
I bought 5 dollar bit sets in the red cube from the part store for just having anywhere.
You have to closely inspect that foreign stuff. They will mess up, run off a batch, and ship it anyway.
But what can you expect from a nine year old.
100% correct sir danny
Well put together special tool video Jake, nice and short and to the point. As Mick's Mowers would say "sweet as a nut."
Glad you enjoyed it
I love these videos.
Thanks for watching, and thanks for the kind words!
@@EliminatorPerformance you're welcome. Also take a look at Leslie tools.
Well I was going to ask her permission to order the sets but dang I have them allready
That Neiko 10080A Set Is Not The Same As Yours Because The Bits Are Not Security. If You Go To Amazon You Can Look At The Different Pictures And See There Is No Hole In The Ends. But At Least They Are Only $20.00 Right Now.
Yea for some reason they don't sell it on Amazon Canada anymore! When I clicked on my purchase link of the 10062A kit (security kit) it takes me to the 10080A kit (non security kind). I guess they changed the listing.
OK I'll Look For The 10062A Set Then, Thanks For The Number.
👍
Thanks for watching Pete!
Toyota Pete only one thumbs up there were two special tools in this video.
Torx🤦♂️🤦♂️🤬 I hate em. My thoughts of them is they were developed because folks couldn’t distinguish between standard and metric Allen bolts. With torx you have one standardized set to use in place of Allen, Phillips or slotted. Allen bolts/screws and wrenches are 10 times better than torx. I’ll round/break 3-4 torxs bits and hardly ever break an Allen wrench.
I like torx, but anything under T20 seem to break easily. Luckily I have a lot of MasterCraft tools, and I've replaced my T15 about 3 times now for free lol
What a load of rubbish most of that is a waste of money just use a 10mm socket on a long extension no need for all the fancy torque bits
Correct if they only made them to be removed with a 10mm socket that would be great. Some are bolt hex head, some hex nut only and then the dreaded E5 torx eh?
Bah Humbug but to you and your family have a Merry Christmas Patrick and a prosperous New Year from Jake and i at Eliminator Performance.
