Thanks for the information on inlet seat sizing.I just received a knock off (offshore kit)2 complete kits delivered for 13$ Cdn .It came with 2 seats and 2 needles (one rubber tipped and one metal).The sizes are “close “ to factory gravity inlet (0.069 diameter) at 0.074 Large/ 0.054 Small.I assume the metal needle for pump fed units.Carb parts for 1997 vintage Briggs /Walbro carbs getting tough to access for reasonable $ in Cdn $.Can replace/roll dice for knock off replacement complete carbs for 18-28$ delivered free by Amazon.(tough to compete when they more than often work fairly well on an old beater tractor)
The later ones didn’t need a thin wrench but earlier versions did.I think if you bend over a buy a new 80$ solenoid you get the benefit of easy removal/replacement at least(plus a way lighter wallet 😢)I believe they are unobtainium now anyway…obsolete unless can find NOS pieces.
Some of them have a little needle sized air vent hole that can get plugged up. ua-cam.com/users/shortsF0sjibeXe2Q. My carb didn't have the bleeder but I had to change the seat and tweak the little tab on the underside of the float so it put a little more pressure on the seat.
Had a guy call me ask if I could fix a Cub Cadet carb I said yes , But i rather replace it I can get one cheaper than a rebuild kit . gave him the price he said they make everything throughway today . yep price of the carb over labor rebuild .
I would like to know the part# of that carb oem or ebay part # ,I am going to see if it will retrofit on 35 year old honda riding mower ht3810 they are NLA from all sources ,thanks
I tried, still flooded. ended up buying a cheap knockoff carb replacement(for less than the needle/seat/seal kit) and it cranked up first try. had to change my oil after flooding it so much
That’s correct however this video does not cover those carburetors covers the replaceable needle and seat in a Walbro carburetor on Briggs & Stratton, Kohler, and some Kawasaki engines
Question? Why did they design the fuel solenoid with the tightening nut extra thin so you have to use a specalized wrench??? Seems stupid, but I am sure there must be a reason. Ha Ha

Good video mm1 fixing that flooded carburetor
Most folks know how to do just the needle but that was the first video that I have seen on replacing the seat and using the special seating tool.
Thanks bud. Carbs carbs carbs This time of year.
Great video Jeremy

Thanks for the great video. I am wondering is this a repost of an older video?
Thanks for the video.
We had a few of these come threw the shop where we ultrasonic the carb install the kit and still the carb floods. So after that we replace the carb.
I would replace the carb as well normally

I have no idea what that OEM number is but I do know it’s off of a 287707-0115 - E1 Briggs and Stratton
@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 Thanks for your time .with that engine # Idid find an Ebay retrofit carb with measurements.
Yo yo me old mucker.. ta very much for the video
Love ya old bean ol buddy
Is that the correct fuel filter for a gravity fed carb?
I noticed that as well.
Does anybody know why you need to replace the seat? I would think the needle is all that would go bad and a brass seat would just need a cleaning?
It wears out
My carburetor floods even though it seem airtight when I blow in the fuel inlet while holding the carburettor upside down.

Simple. WOT and crank.
Anyone know where I can get a rebuild kit for walbro lmj47 carburetor. It's on my Honda gx160 engine.
Just buy a new one
According to the Raley's aka the bone. Rotary 10352. Work on all.
Some carbs you can't replace the needle and seat

My mower won't start without a dash of starting fluid.
