    Absolutely brilliant Mick!
    Watched this about 4 times, bought the 6 in 1, carb files, plus seals and gaskets off eBay.
    Followed your instructions to the letter and now I have a sweet running mower that doesn’t leak it’s fuel anymore!
    I bought the mower cheap so expected some problems but now, after a full service, sharpened and lapped blades and some fresh belts (also guided by you) it behaves and performs as good as new.

    This video couldn't of come at a better time, as I am stripping my carb, have ordered the 6 in 1 tool off amazon so will have to wait and see if I can get that part of the carb off. Great video I would of used carb cleaner rather than wd-40 but it surprisingly works!

    • @policewitnessenforcer
      @policewitnessenforcer 2 роки тому +1

      Just to update you guys, the 6 in1 tool of amazon arrived and it works! perfect fit and removed the top jet. So all cleaned and reassembled and runs ok, according to the manual it states that the mixture jet adjustment is normally set to 7/8 turns open from fully closed. Not sure if that means full turns or half turns?

    I am pleased you have covered this carb, almost! Its full of parts and secrets I have the exact same machine that has been with us from new. For the past 14 years I haven’t used it but having recently renovated the lawn needed to start using it again. I too had problems with the carb as you can imagine I even found the very thin emulsion tube but missed the larger second one. Having cleaned the carb it worked well for a few cuts then started flooding due to the needle float valve not sealing. At that point I ordered a new needle valve for the float and a new float bowl rubber seal. One thing I discovered then was that the float needle is not solid like most but is spring loaded. The small tail end that hooks onto the plastic float moves in and out it also has the rubber point on the other end hence buying a new one. On examining the original it had stuck solid and all these features help the sealing of that float needle. So mine now starts and runs fine but at the end of the season I will strip it down to clean the piece I didn’t find to clean. Thanks Mick

    Hi Mick,
    Me and my wife are really hoping you may be able to help us. We watched your video and thought you were brilliant. We have a Atco B24E. The engine pull start & battery key start work fine but it doesn’t last very long and cuts out. After watching your video we believe that the carburettor needs a clean. Would it be at all possible for you to do this for us. It’s just that I really don’t trust anyone else you really are so so knowledgeable and we know that the carburettor will be in fantastic hands. We are willing to you pay for your service and all postal charges.
    Kind regards
    Matthew& Paula

    Cheers for the video Mick. I found one of these at the side of the road today locally to me with a free scrap sign on and after cleaning the fuel tank and line, stripping the carb as per this video and resembling it runs sweet. Only downside is its missing the grassbox. Other than that it's in lovely condition. Oh, and as for getting to the emulsion tube, I was not defeated. 8mm socket hammered on and it came straight out 👍🤣

    Just had problems with my mower carb, and the O ring expanded by about quarter inch after I removed it. I left it while I was searching out what engine it was (failed) tried to find what carb it was (failed). By the time I got back to scratching my head at the bench the O ring fitted again. Job done. So now I know I have a Tillotson carb, will that indicate the engine make? Just found that six in one on Amazon, it’ll be here Friday so I can finish the job then. It’s a Rolson by the way.
