Plastic Carburetor, Repair It For FREE. Craftsman Push Lawn Mower with Briggs and Stratton Engine

- Easy Step by Step DIY video with simple detail to repair your Plastic Carburetor For FREE. Craftsman Push Lawn Mower with Briggs and Stratton Engine No Start. We also cover checking fire and what to look for when the coil isn't firing. Always check the choke on the plastic carburetors to make sure it is closed when engine is cold.
The plastic carbs that have a primer ball on the air cleaner operate a little different. If it doesn't push fuel from the bowl into the throat of the carburetor it is probably due to a warped air cleaner base not sealing to the carburetor face. This style primer usually has a hole in the center because it just pushes air into the carb bowl forcing fuel up though the main jet tube into the throat of the carb.
Another quick way to check for fire and compression at the same time is to spray some brake cleaner or carb cleaner into the throat of the carb and try to start. If it runs and dies it is a carburetor or fuel issue even possibly water in the fuel.

I’m glad I watched this my ground cable was stretched . The last thing you mentioned about the lawn mower 7.25 husqvarna with Briggs and Stratton engine . Thank you T Bone for the information . Got me fixed.
THIS WAS THE BEST VIDEO FOR THIS PROBLEM ON UA-cam!!!
Wow, Thank you 😊
You are the man! Wifey killing me over two weeks to mow the lawn. After following your detailed directions and with tlc and patience I just mowed the lawn. Thank you. Does this mean wifey will chill out now? Only until she finds another chore for me in the near future. Lol. Gracias amigo.

Thank you
the new camera and camera work are excellent!
Thank you
I enjoy your videos, even though I don't have the type's of equipment you work on,. I just enjoy watching thanks 👍
Thank you, glad you like them. What types of equipment do you have?
Yes! Great video. Easy to follow step by step instructions helped me get my mower running again. Thank you!
You're welcome my friend. Glad it was helpful
Great job. Got to love it when a plan comes together
Heck yeah thank you 😊
I like the new camera, sort of shaky cam, but I get used to it. I think a slight tilt down on your head strap and you are golden. Say Hay to Ms T-Bone for me. Cheers!
Thank you, yes I thought the same thing. Gonna work on getting better with it, I'm a slow learner LOL I will be sure to tell Mrs T you said hello. Hope you are well my friend.
This video is very much appreciated. Thank you
Great video thanks helped me out a lot Thanks 🙏
It's working out real ⏩ good for you
Really it’s such a easy carb to clean and should last for years if fuel is clean
Thanks Mr TBone
Great video. Did everything you said and started up first pull. I did have a hard time getting the gas tank off, that’s all.
Perfect, thaks man.
Woo-hoo nice job camera did great. The thing-a-ma-bob, well it's an emulsion tube. 🐓👍🏻
Thank you. Are you sure it's not called a whatchamacallit ? LMAO
This is the best example I’ve found. You have a new follower.
Thank you so much this helped us a lot!!
The new camera did really well, puts us right in the action. 👍
Nice video T-Bone 🙂
Thank you brother
Great video resource! Thank you.
Good job Sir great video👍👍
Thank you
I bought my mower, brought it home, put it together, added the oil, poured in some fresh gas from a brand new can, and it started right up, ran well, and I mowed a small patch of grass to see how it cut. Looked good, so, satisfied, I put it in the mower shed ready for work. I had it running for about 10 minutes.
2 weeks later, I pull it out, prime it, then spent the next 45 minutes repeatedly pumping the primer, starting it, and it running 'til the primer gas runs out, then stalling. Shot's of starting fluid/carb cleaner didn't help. I googled the problem, found this vid (along with about a dozen others dealing with this obviously common problem). I took the carb apart and cleaned/unblocked it. Gas looked clean, no dirt/grime in the bowl, filter still looked brand new (because it was). I put it back together, and it ran fine for the hour I used it. Happy with the fix, despite having to do it to a BRAND NEW mower with only 10 minutes of running time, but again, it was fixed . . . The mower only has about 6-8 hours of use on it, and of the dozen times I've used it, it wouldn't start and I've had to take the carb apart and clean it 3 times . . . one time getting lucky and walking away when it wouldn't start again, then coming out the next day to fix it, but tried to start it before going through that PITA, and it stalled out twice, then fired up and ran fine for 45 minutes . . . Today, 2 weeks later, I just spent 1/2-an-hour yanking on it trying to get it to start. I really, REALLY don't feel like having to pull the carb off, pull it apart, clean it, put it back together and installing . . . AGAIN.
Knowing how to fix the carb isn't a solution to the problem when you have to do it nearly every time you use the mower.🤬
Too bad consumers, along with the help of consumer advocate groups, don't pressure Craftsman to come up with a fix . . . like a normal carb replacement, to make up for ripping off their customers.
thanks a million!
You're welcome 😊 Thanks for commenting.
Good video like that extra screen on small things being worked on 😊
Helped out a ton, thanks!
Thank you! I followed all your steps and got the mower running again. You saved me a grip of cash for service repair.
That is great!! I'm so glad our video helped you. Thanks for commenting my friend, you made our day!
Thank you! Excellent video!
I like to use dielectric/silicone grease on all O-rings since it’s already on my bench for other uses. I also apply some any place two plastic parts rub on each other.
Great video T-Bone. 😁👍
I like the new camera angle.
Do you edit with Premiere Pro?
Thank you. I do most editing on my phone
@@RaleysSmallEngines Ok, I was going to share a tip with you to smooth moving footage in Premiere Pro called Warp Stabilizer. I don’t know if there’s anything like that on the phone or not.
@@baldeagle242 thank you. I have no idea if I have that. Testing out a chest mount for the camera now. 😆 the editing stuff I use isn't the best because I'm cheap and it's free lol 😆
Thanks for your video.
Great video! Keep it up brother
Another great video. The new camera is crystal clear and the audio is perfect. Keep up with the great info. Take care.
Wow, thank you 😊
Love Mr TBone, he really simplfy things. A fool need not error after viewing his videos. Thanks a lot Mr TBone!
Excellent video, you're even getting the PIP in it! 😀👍
Thank you Steve. I had to do something because of my crappy camera work with that new camera. 😆 Glad ya liked it brother
I've been watching your videos for so long that it popped in my tiny brain. Do what Steve does 🤣 thanks brother
Love you Steve you are the man
This is a really great video, very informative! Thank you so much for all the extra details.... We have a Briggs and Stratton mower- the filter has gas in it every time we check it prior to mowing. DO you think it's the carburetor causing the filter to be wet?
Love your videos!
Thank you, Tbone!
I repair appliances for a living and am quite mechanical, but have to be the absolute world's worst small engine mechanic! Lol
I've decided to turn over a new leaf in life and learn to be a better small engine mechanic with your help.
It seems like I always have at least one peice of lawn equipment that isn't working! Not anymore! LoL
Thanks again!
PS loved the camera work. Worked wonderfully and audio was great.
Thank you. It takes time and practice to get good at small engines. Just like all the time and experience you have under your belt repairing appliances. I'm am sure you will learn quickly my friend.
Great camera work ,thank you with all due respect you can pull tank and carbuerator all at once,and dont have to have gas spillage,thanks for your excellent video😊
I have never mowed a lawn in my life but I grabbed a broken m110 lawnmower out of the neighbor's trash just to see if I could fix it. This video is all I needed 💪
What did I say I don’t even remember now. 😂😂😂😂
great job sir, i have been helping monroe at his shop and been working on plastic carbs myself. thanks for another video . have a great week end .
Thank you. We appreciate you watching and commenting my friend. Tell them we said hello, they are Great people. They know who we are.
I like this guy. First time digging into a plastic carb so I thought I'd look for tips online. Totally confident now. Thanks.
There is a better faster way to diagnose any and every engine .What you do is before you pick up any tools do a little experiment . Pull the air cleaner cover off and shoot some carb cleaner down the throat . Then pull it over if it runs on the prime then you know Ignition , compression , mechanical and electrical timing are good . If it does not you have the regular testing to do . I call this Prime for a Good Time . This method is quicker no unnecessary testing .
Exactly. If you look at some of my older videos I show doing that exact thing. I think one of them is titled Diagnose any riding mower fast.
My 2 year old Toro self-propelled mower kept stalling. I replaced air filter, gas cap (no vapor lock), cleaned carb just like you did, cleaned gas tank, replaced gas and spark plug ( it was fouled black sooty). Carb was clean, no dirt no clog.
It still stalled just as bad. Then I tightened the self-propell cable. Now it runs like a demon! No stalling, no carbon fouling. Starts right up.
All because of that cable being a bit slack.
Great video. Enjoyed the new camera view. Your approach is methodical and goal directed. Mechanical ingenuity at its best. Enjoyed complete video. I always learn something new everytime I see you perform miracles. Thankyou Sir.
Thank you knindly for sharing your knowledge.
Awesome professional work!
You are welcome my friend. Thanks for watching and commenting
Thanks for that tip at the end it’s what actually made my mower work the kill switch was stuck I bent the thing up and it started first shot other then I have to stick a flat head to shut it off but not a big deal better than taking the carb apart ten diff times for nothing you got my grass cut today Ty very much !!!
Thanks T Bone. my first experience with a plastic carb. my first impression is "as worthless as t*ts on a man" my Husky went 10 years before developing a surging issue. this thing became problematic the first season. it's on a Briggs EXi 625 Yardforce purchased at sam's. the "just check & add" no oil changes seems laughably counter intuitive.
made it 3 seasons here LMAO
I currently smell gasoline, and it won't start
With the float removed we see a shiny metal disk pressed into the plastic carburetor body. The disk in my carb had fallen out. What purpose does it serve? May I leave it out? If it must be installed how is that done so it won't fall out again?
Thanks
all I needed to know was how to get it apart without breaking something I didn't know it was a bunch of O-rings but thank you thank you thank you. thanks especially for getting straight to the point.
Great video. Camera worked great. Wish more folks used them.
One of the fastest and most proficient carburetor cleaners I have seen yet. It's a good thing.He explains the important points and slows down with close up shots to illustrate them. This good old boy is a real professional, Great job. Although I didn't see him check the oil! 😁👍👍👍
Great video I have an issue I have the same mower I replaced the carb and plug and prime bulb and spark plug and it still won’t fire up it has spark I’m lost not sure what’s going on any help would be appreciated I even tried squirting some gas in carb and nothing
Great video, I changed the whole carburetor, cleaned the gas tank, new air filter, and spark plug,... also I check the breaks levar,.. and still doesn't start,.... about to blow it up in 1000 pcs
Nice job! Just did the same thing for my mower a few days ago.
Why did Briggs and Stratton redesign their mower engines to these awful plastic carburetors.
I'm working on a Toro HRX217 with the B&S 150cc 93J02-0167 engine with this plastic carb ..they're junk in my opinion..
Dear Briggs... Go back to the Walbro Carbs
Mine was a different model carb but basically the same. Ty sir. Neighbors lawnmower wouldn't stay running. I knew it was a fuel issue. Took carb off , dismantled it and cleaned as you stated. Reassembled and whaullah. Ty again
Thank you Steven for watching and commenting my friend. Glad our video helped you.
Extremely helpful! I’m going to go fix my craftsman M220 right now!
Awesome, I know you can fix it my friend
Raley , Buddy you nailed it ! This is the best informative video on this carb I have ever seen. You went straight to it , Dit everything exactly in order and then back together . T Bone you are the MAN. The Lawnmower Man . Keep it up Bro
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀👍👍👍👍👍
I tried the same things you did, still having trouble, I can hold the Gov. arm all the way back and it starts, but will not get any RPM's
One of the best DIY videos I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. Worked exactly the way you showed it. Thank you thank you!
You're welcome, glad it was helpful
Goog video.
Thank you
Thanks for your video
Very well explained. I picked up an almost new Toro lawnmower that would not start. It starts now.
The butterfly on mine opens manually if I push on the connecting rods to the butterfly but when I squeeze the throttle it doesn't engage the butterfly
Darn I just ordered 5 of those Jets from Ebay for $5.25. If only I had watch you first. Good show!
DOES THE CRAFTSMAN PUSH MOWER HAVE A FUEL FILTER ?
Yes. It's a screen inside the fuel tank
@@RaleysSmallEngines a lot of good that does there when the rubber fuel hose between tank and carb is deteriorating from the inside into small rubber chunks!
great but put gloves on to protect your hands from chemicals
Thank you
3:05 view of choke assembly (ref. for putting it back together)
Wish they made a metal replacement carb so we don't have to deal with that stupid plastic crap
Thanks for the info! New subscriber! Thoroughly detailed, awesome video.
What's up with fly wheel key? I ran over a stick and now she just runs for a minute.
I hear a lot of bad on these carbs , I find them easy to clean and very forgiving . no rust or corrosion . simple to install and easy to disassemble .
Thanks for the excellent video. Luv ya T-Bone !!
Great video. Voice volume was perfect.
Thank you
New subscriber. I got 3 broken mowers in my yard. Im tired of it!
Thanks for the detailed video. Mower is like new again!
I got a Walmart return one time in a lot of push mowers , it was a new mower and cleaned the plastic carb a couple of times . It had a miss that just couldn't get out , ordered a new cheap Carb from Amazon and installed it - it fixed the miss . I sold as an almost new push mower , so didn't mind putting a new carb on it . I've worked on a lot of these plastic carb's and 99% time just dirty .
You make these jobs so entertaining to watch brother, cool video. You better not have put Mrs T-Bone out of work though
Thank you. Of course not, Mrs T will always be #1
Nice video. Have the plastic carb with "just pull for power" automatic choke. Will run with a shot of ether or carb cleaner, but will NOT pull fuel on its own. Had carb apart twice and cleaned, able to shoot carb cleaner thru jets, fiel bowl is filling, but it just wont pull its own gas out of the bowl. Never seen something so basic yet I can't find the issue. Seems like it HAS to be clogged jet, yet I can spray cleaner thru the jet and it comes out into the venturi.
ANYONE got an idea what's left to try? I have many old mowers, but this plastic carb OHV is new to me.
Thanks for commenting. Did you take apart the 2 piece jet/emulsion plastic apart like in the video? ALSO did you put o-ring and white plastic holder in carb b4 installation?
@@RaleysSmallEngines I appreciate your response. No , I didn't do those things, and seeing the video, I know what to try next. I have mostly old flatties, so these plastic jobs are new to me. I kind of figured that white emulsion tube thing was pressed in, but I didn't know if it would break if I tried to get it out. I shot cleaner through it and figured that was OK if I saw it squirt into the venturi. So now I'll go for round 3 since I have more info!
Also, the two rings stayed on the engine last time, so I'll put then in the carb first. I had a theory that something was maybe not sealing there, and lack of vacuum might prevent drawing the fuel through the jets. I knew those 2 rings didn't feel right, but I didn't know what was wrong either.
I was not gonna take it apart again until I had something new to go after, so thank you very much for the tips!
These carbs remind me of how Lego parts snap together. Maybe not a bad design once I get used to it.
@@RaleysSmallEngines Well, took it apart again, took apart the emulsion tube, carb cleaner and compressed air in everything, o-ring and retainer snapped into carb, Vaseline on intake spigot, choke closed when cold, and....still NOTHING! Just like before, starts on a shot of carb cleaner, then dies like no fuel. Fuel bowl is filling. Going nuts, as there seems to be no cause. Mower like new and don't want to give up. Any other tricks or ideas? Just get a cheap Amazon carb, even though this one shows no obvious reason?
how do i fix a leaking carb??
Well done very clear very understanding and very informative
Thank you
I still like the old quantum carbs. But plastic is here to stay
Thanks you just showed me something that I didn't know on them carbs. I know what the problem is with mine. I didn't know the jets came apart. Mine runs good till it needs more gas. I bet them small holes are stopped up. I enjoy watching your videos.
Thank you
New camera is great - on your forehead?? Love your videos - wish you had a new one everyday!!!
Thank you. Yes forehead gonna work on doing better with it. Thanks so much for supporting us. We only have 4 more subscribers to cross the 10k mark 😀 Thanks to viewers like You
This is the best video I have found. I am not a mechanic but I watched this and followed step by step and it worked. Saved myself a little money. Thank you so much. William in Texarkana, Arkansas
I'm glad it helped you William, thanks for watching and commenting my friend
The new camera works good T- bone. I hope all is well with you and Mrs T-Bone 🔧👍
Thank you my friend. Yes we are doing good. Hope you are also.
