I'm having trouble getting the bottom plate off. Your demo showed it coming off easily with a screwdriver. I'm afdraid of breaking it if too forceful. Do you have any suggestions. Also, what is the hex bolt at the bottom of the plate for?

Why are small engine carburetors having problems - is it the ethanol? I don't remember so many failing years ago
@LazyGrandpasGarage Ай бұрын
Yes majority of carburetor repairs I do have to do with ethanol. Regular unleaded didn't cause these problems. I used non-ethanol gas and never have issues with my own equipment. Cost roughly dollar more per gallon though.

I just purchased the exact mower used and it hardly could move so I purchased a new Toro belt for it. This video had great step by step directions and illustrated just where everything is. I ran into the additional fun of having one of the motor mount bolts snapping g off (it is a 12 year old machine that appears to have spent some time out in the weather) After drilling that out, everything else went smoothly. One additional point is that the travel cable may need some adjustment where it bolts to the handle with the additional traction of a new drive belt

I reseated it with the little needle pin in it's right spot and BINGO! Runnin' like a top. Thanks again.

If it's got gas running like that, the needle isn't seating properly. Check to make sure float and needle is not sticking. Verify rubber tip on needle isn't damaged.

Got the same OEM B&S carb 3 days ago. Changed it out as per your video. One pull, one start. Cut great for an hour then I called it a night. Got a break in the rain today so went to mow some more. It was hard to start, had to use some ether. Got it started, engine smoothed out in about 30 seconds. Cut for about a half an hour then backfired and died. Let it cool down. Checked oil and gas. Won't start at all now not even with the ether. It doesn't even sputter. Just nothing. Any ideas would be super helpful. Thanks!!

Pull the plastic cover off the engine, check if chock is closed or stuck open. Sometimes chock lever on top of carburetor rubs against metal plate on left side. If so, bend the plate slightly so it clears. Also I had a couple where choke spring fell off after using, verify the spring is in place. Verify valves are set properly.

That's a 6.25 lb-ft motor not 6.25 hp. I have the same one but 5.5 lb-ft and it makes 3.2HP. They hide that number. That one is 3.5 hp. High torque models advertise the lb-ft to let you know they are fixed at low RPM to save on gas. But if they get into tall grass they stall easier. But they use almost nothing in gas. Old ones advertise HP as the power at top RPM gives a good cut but as it goes into tall grass it falls into its torque band and doesn't stall.

I've got a Toro Recycler that has a similar Briggs engine. I tweaked the governor shaft lever and stiffened the spring to make it rev higher. It now doesn't struggle in tall or thick grass.. The RPM is higher thus it revs higher when needed. I also added a fuel cut off valve. You have to add a longer fuel line to do that though. When I'm through cutting grass, I turn off the fuel and let it run till it runs the fuel out of the carburetor. That eliminates the fuel messing up the carb.
