    This is the second time one of your videos saved my lawnmower. In the beginning of the summer i resurrected an old one by following your video, but then it got stolen. We had a very old lawn mower sitting around that hadn't been used in at least 10 years. This morning I cleaned the carb, replaced the air filter and she fired right up. Thank you for all your help. You've saved me a ton of money.

    Many many thanks for posting this video.
    I have a 1974 Mountfield M3 mower (with a Briggs & Stratton engine) which had lain unused for the last 7 years, because it was impossible to start.
    Courtesy of your tuition, I had the courage to remove and clean out the fuel tank and carburettor.
    My M3 now runs almost like new. (Only "almost" probably because it is now impossible to obtain the correct fuel for this engine ---- i.e. 4-star leaded. But at least it DOES run on 2-star unleaded, with a little squirt of Redex !!).
    Thanks once again ..............

    So i cleaned the carb and gas tank as they were filthy. I put it back on and i still got nothing. Everything seems to kick back like it supposed to. I checked compression and got a little over 60. When i check for spark i cant see any but if i hold it the wrong way i sure can feel it. Do you have to be able to see it? Even in day light?

  • @donyboy73

    @superbillc spray a bit of gas in the carb to start off, maybe adjust the screw. or you can spray a bit of gas through the spark plug hole. if it doesn't start it could be deeper issues. it is hard for me to diagnose without seeing it

  • @donyboy73

Thanks to your video/you. my problem is mechanical at this point ; a worn worm shaft at the points under the bearings and also the shaft bushing and seal. However i am unable to get the unit info. manufacture and model number off the name plate to source parts etc. Wonder if that info.is available off that unit? Hope by a long shot it is.

  • @snickerstorino
    @snickerstorino 9 років тому +1

    i have 2 of these that i have been working on. i have cleaned out the carbs very well and replaced the diaphram. it will run for a second then slowly run out of fuel all while surging, if i spray start fluid toward the intake it picks up or can slow down so i think its a fuel issue. however with a cleaned carb and new diaphram what else could it be? the tank is clean also, i was wondering if you have seen any of these pick up tubes start leaking at the top where that black sealant is. also i have been working on a couple other engines as well that have a miss (not spark drop), i adjusted and cleaned all spark components and cleaned carbs very well. one is a tecumseh from an early 90's craftsman similar to the eager 1 series and the other is a 5 or 6 hp briggs on a newer toro. with both these i pulled heads thinking the miss was from leaking compression due to leaking head gasket or bad valve seating. both were full of carbon, i cleaned the heads the best i could. with both the miss got worse after doing this i know one of the gaskets were bad but the other was not. i got a new gasket in for the toro and i am going to try it again. any chance my miss could be related to valve seat issues if the head was full of carbon? your videos have helped me on occasion when i get stumped and are always very informative and i do alot of small engine repair but this is still my weak point is this miss unrelated to spark of fuel. any help on these issue would be greatly appreciated, or at least maybe common issues you have seen that cause a miss unrelated to spark or fuel. thanks!

    • @techbill2900
      @techbill2900 9 років тому

      wyomings elkoholic what happens is the gas tanks warp. you need to check the top of the tank with a straight edge and a feeler gauge. There is a repair its a roll pin and a little round gasket from Briggs and Stratton or a supplier. Doesn't work on pulsa-jet with all temp choke. at 3:54 in the video the hole in the middle of the screen with the little channel going into where the spring for the choke goes is what usually warps.

    When i prime 2x the gas on my snow blower, i seen gas leak...i opened up the cover thinking i have a broken gas line, which i did not....the gas came out from the opening of the carburator out of a small hole....i watched your videos, does anyone know why this is happening? i heard you say in one of your videos if it is leaking you have to take a gasket out with a wire and face something down..not sure of that name...is that the cause of the leak through the front of the carburetor?

    • @gregorymalchuk272
      @gregorymalchuk272 6 місяців тому

      The engine related stuff can be found from the Briggs and Stratton engine code on the cowling just above the spark plug. If you want stuff for the tiller like belts or gearbox components, you need the tiller model and serial plate. It's probably stamped aluminum mounted somewhere on the tiller.

    • @tomlewitt

      The choke spring chamber can fill up , if the tank is very slightly warped in the central area of the gasket. A tiny teflon washer was supplied to help with this. But there should be a small locating pin-dowell at the center (small holes are there for it, ), it's not on many carbs you see ....

  • @Guillotines_For_Globalists

    Dony, do you know if there are still carburetor rebuild kits available for this engine?
    I believe my 2002 Craftsman edger uses the same engine. Really, I only need that paper looking diaphragm for the carburetor. I feel as if that's the culprit because I have cleaned everything else out really well.
    Same style engine with the fuel tank also filling in as the fuel bowl, with the carb mounted directly to the top of the fuel tank.
    Thank you!

  • @tellmesomething2go

    Nice clear video. I suggest cleaning the outside of the carb and petrol tank before you open it up. Less chance of getting dirt and grass inside the carb. Always put a new diaphragm in the carb: it worth the expense. You shouldn't scrimp here because you don't want to open it up again just because you want to save a few dollars.
