I have a Toro 6.5 hp with a Tecumseh engine. It looks like the bracket that the cable attached to does not move enough to deactivate the brake. The cable looks ok. What do I do. I think this is a faulty design

I am working on right a carb and this was very helpful to me. Thanks

Not what I was expecting, based on your title. Aaaggghhh! These tips may be helpful for the younger dumber folks, but I certainly hope by the time I'm too old /unable to lift something safely into the bed of my truck, I will have the wisdom & experience of using my brain & the basic common sense of leverage. As for the "safely" aspect... for crying out loud! Keep a bungee cord, rope, scrap lumber. etc in your vehicle to secure what you're hauling, because accidents are unplanned. Don't put someone else at risk for your stupidity & laziness.

Great channel, awesome video. Would you mind reviewing which (diameter, length, thread count) bolt goes where? I'd removed the plastic shroud held in with screws, then the fuel tank assembly. Then unbolted the metal top covering. After that I'd also removed the air filter and bolts holding the breather box to the carb. So yeah, I have this model in a few pieces and am missing a few bolts. Or have some in the wrong spot.😅

Is this mower more expensive than a Honda HRR216?

Wow - you were born to teach, thank you so much

I have a Generac RS7000E. Just followed your video and cleaned the carburetor. (Great video by the way. VERY helpful!) It still won’t start. I followed another video suggestion and unplugged the low oil shutoff sensor to see if it was defective and preventing it from starting but that didn’t help either. Any suggestions?

So far you the best one I found on here youre brilliant

I have the same carb. Its leaking fuel from one of the holes in the front where main air sucks in. Took it apart, clean all the holes as you did. Still leaking. Open for any suggestions.

Really good demonstration video…helped me fix mine

6:43 Can you please find me a link to that screwdriver? I can’t find one in my home that thin and small to get in there to remove it. Thank you

When i pull my mower lever to the tortoise slow idle mode it cuts out, does this mean my carb needs cleaning?

Great Video. Thanks for taking the time and being so thorough. I have the same carb, but without the choke/governor plate. I noticed that you only used the "O-Ring", but the gasket on the mating surface to the engine. There is one that came with the kit (498260). Do I not need that gasket with this application?

Great video! Same mower here. It's making a bit of noise when I engage the drive... a repetitive click or clack or clunk (?), every few seconds (but not at consistent intervals) that is louder when mowing than when running it on the driveway with the front wheels up. The shaft+blade turn by hand without the belt moving. Without the engine running, of course, when when I pull the drive engage bar, it doesn't affect the tension of the belt. Should it? I've had this mower a few years but never noticed this sound. If it's normal and has been there all along... I'll chalk it up to old age I guess. :-) It seems to do its job, but the noise I think, is indicative of an issue. Maybe one of the wheels? Thanks!

Thank you! I enjoy finding women who do this type work… cars, lawnmowers, power equipment because some men talk too much or don’t show what I need to actually see to get the job done!

I would have emptied the tank just in case there was water in there…..

I think I can do it!!

Oh i have a kohler lawnmower

Ok lady lwt me lay one on you.i took the carb off and cleaned it. Being careful with the oring gaskets using carb cleaner i also roded out and sprayed all the holes on the brass tubes.then put it all together, then i checked and cleaned the back of the auto chocke thing,then i watched your video and i took the flywheel off and it was all good. Put it back together it started briefly and quit again wth am i not doin lady?

Thanks

how much cc is in this motor compared to the 216 commerial motor

Is E450 and 450E the same thing??

Thank You for sharing so clearly, I sure feel looked after and very grateful to learn about my Echo. Have saved both link and video to recheck when I have to time to follow your advice without haste. Gosh you are so Good!💐💐💐👏🏼👏🏼🤩🥰

Everything is made cheap and like garbage. Plastic carburetors , non adjustable garbage.

Hi. @1:01 your right index finger is pointing to a screw that is missing from a customer's carburetor. How does one replace these?.

Excellent tutorial! Thank you.

Nice video, good clear instructions! Several points: 1) Many starter fluids have an upper cylinder lubricant, although I don't know how much or how well they work. 2) Gasoline is highly flammable and is dangerous to use as a cleaning solvent so be careful! NO SPARKS and only use outside. One can spray the outside with carb cleaner in a spray can to keep the volume of fluid down. Alternatively, one can get gallon size containers of carburetor dip such as Berryman Chem-Dip. Not the cheapest, but only slightly flammable, and don't need an agitator. None of these chemicals are good to get on your skin...

These days everything is made out of plastic cars etc nothing is built to last just plastic junk the good. Ole days are gone when things lasted 10 years or more

I just got one. I've ran it twice and the 2nd time it started making a ticking sound for a few seconds maybe a minute then went away. While it was still warm I restarted it and the same thing happened. Oil level is fine less than 2 hours on the mower. Belt seemed very loose when I flipped it to check blade bolts?

Hi from montreal,quebec,canada!! You solved my problem i have to say to you a BIG tx miss You are Tha man!! Have a nice day bye bye!!

As a MS170 owner for the past 6 years who has performed basic maintenance on my saw, I found this video very informative and well done. I’m at the point of having to perform some of the maintenance shown here so what I learned will be put to good use. A tip O’ the hat to you.

I’m having issues with my Honda has lawn mower the thermowax keeps coming out.

nice job.

Daaaamn girl. Installing temp studs is genius. Thank you soooo much.

Best job I’ve seen for this model by far, keep up that Excelent work.

hi where do you get parts for these carburators ?

Thanks for the great video! You made this look too easy.

Not going to check your intake throat?

The heat sheild looks like an afterthough post factory like mine

So your a lawnmower dentist too ?

where can i get the pullstart cord holder from Miss?

Why not leave the all thread in the carb/air box and add nuts on the ends? That'll save ever having to juggle the gaskets again.

I use fuel stabilizer. No regrets. Also can add carburetor/injector cleaner to the fuel, for additional peace of mind. Normal gasoline works okay for me.

I like the Stanley knife field-expedient feeler gauge. Thanks.

Nice use of a plastic bag.

Nice use of an old oil jug as a catch pan.

Thank u….well done …

Very disappointed that after all that, he needs a new saw. What a waste.

18:52, Why does it look like there's a carb passageway not covered on that pump cover? I'm not familiar w/ these carbs so excuse my question please.

HRX and HRN are two different series that goes together. HRX is premium and HRN is entry level, so you can not say that the wheels are worse, because HRN is a different series, not a newer one. You can still buy HRX series
