  • This repair applies to most mower engines like.. Kohler, Kawasaki, Toro, Honda and many more.
    We show step by step how to repair this issue. Yes this carburetor could have been repaired but I have to do what the customer wants.
    Briggs and Stratton Smoking Easy DIY Fix, Engine Is Not Blown.
    At about 13:19 I am wondering what Derek ‪@ViceGripGarage‬ is working on.
    At about 13:28 I am guessing ‪@STTC‬ is probably camping somewhere.

      @Gator that is great. Thanks for watching our channel my friend. Take your time, no need to spend a fortune getting started. Get set up with Rotary, the best parts source. We use quite a few others now after years in the business. Generally Rotary will have your parts there next day or 2. I've never sold any tools, it takes time, been collecting tools since the 1970s. We wish you all the best in your new venture my friend.

Overall, I enjoy watching others. T bone, you do very good work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and abilities with others. Even if someone is afraid to jump in the middle of a job that looks difficult , they can still learn and listen to a repair shop, and can get sn idea if that shop knows what to do, or should go some place else. That Sir is a great help as well. 😊

    Great job T-Bone, man I can't see how some people let their engine & fuel tanks get that filthy under the hood to the point where you can't even see where a leak is occurring. I have owned a Craftsman YT 3000 made by Husqvarna since 2013 with 800 hours on the B&S 21HP Intek single engine and it still purs like a kitten as I've been truly blessed that it's never blown the head gasket, broken the camshaft compression release, or had a rocker arm stud back out which all were common Intek issues. Everything is still as clean as day one as it only takes a little wiping things down occasionally, using a leaf blower, or an air compressor to blow it off once in awhile, and it can only help to keep all that dirt and grime from ruining everything.

    • @RaleysSmallEngines
      @RaleysSmallEngines  2 роки тому +3

      You are correct my friend. A little cleaning and checking over every time it is used goes a long way to making them last. Also keeping the filters and oil changed. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend.

    brother thank you. I just fixed an auction mower by having to weld a darned deck bracket back on, remount the deck with the parts they left in a box, fired it up and went mowing and she started to smoke and really really smoked when I went into reverse. Figured a seal was bad or something. Stuff running out of the front of it. I even priced a motor just in case. The oil is down. But will go through this test first. The oil seems a little thin to me too, but we'll start here.

    I think it is more fun to rebuild the carb, and then have the needle not seat correctly, or a leaking o ring, and that will fill the crank case with gas again, so you can do a 2nd oil change. It is so much fun fixing small engines, that I want to maximize the time I get to spend goofing around. Well, I guess an aftermarket carb is quicker, and if you are working and trying to make money ... but who needs money anyway? Right?!!!

    IF I had a shop like T-Bone's, I would never use Chinese Scamazon/Fleabay carbs. Either replace with OEM or rebuild with OEM parts. All the OEM carbs that customers said to junk, I would rebuild and toss on the next customer's engine. Saves a lot of time and effort. Hi sir your mower is fixed. Just as they drive back home and hit the easy chair. Keep a couple 2 barrels like this video and the 594593 Walbro for the single cylinder jobs on the shelf, ready to go.

    Your video was excellent! I’m a tool junky and wish you had a link for the tools you used so I could buy them when I do this to my mower.
    My riding mower randomly runs rough. Puffs out smoke and then runs normal again. I hope to diagnose the problem myself. 🤞

    Thank you for the video. Apart from causing smoke, can the addressed fault cause the oil to quickly darken? I have both things happening.

    Long story short I was given a "smoking" snapper riding mower with 500cc Briggs. The feet places aren't even scuffed. Guy had to much money and little time. Oil level, air filter, carb, Head gasket , any ideas , I haven't had a chance to look at it yet , but I feel it's got to be simple fix ✌️😎

    Guys, on EVERY carb rebuild, dump and CLEAN out the fuel tank. Install NEW fuel line from the tank to the carb. Install an inline fuel shut off valve and a good paper filter. Wonder why the carb needed rebuilding in the first place? Yes dead fuel and trash in the tank passing to the carb.

    I've got the same mower, but someone replaced the engine with a Briggs and Stratton 19.5 twin....apparently the factory engine is infamous for not working well, and the B&S is the go to replacement.

    Great video. Where did you get replacement carb?

    It's interesting how that mower model had a gas tank that could gravity-feed the carb with no need for the pulse fuel pump, but how when not in use the fuel pump didn't prevent the gas from traveling to the faulty needle valve that caused the near hydro-lock and smoky condition. Of course, for that model, even with the fuel pump, an inline fuel shut-off value is helpful. But, conversely, I have zero-turn mower with that same V-twin Briggs with the Nikki two-barrel carb where the gas tank is in front and lower, so it cannot possibly gravity-feed to the carb when not in use, even if the fuel pump were capable of running interference (which you seemed to have proved that one cannot), so I don't bother to put an inline fuel shut-off on my unit. Otherwise, you did seem to say that the anti-backfire fuel solenoid cannot prevent a hydro-lock condition on a gravity-fed fuel system that has a faulty needle valve or faulty float, and I agree with you that the fuel solenoid probably can give many a false sense of security in seeming to prevent a hydro lock condition and/or fuel in the oil, i.e., a fuel shut-off is still in order to prevent that.

      You are correct my friend. Also check the fuel pump pulse line for fuel. Sometimes the fuel pump is the issue. Fuel can still flow thru a fuel pump gravity feeding.
