5HP Briggs and Stratton Carburetor Clean and Rebuild (Pull Choke Type)

[@ThePostman777]

Just what I was looking for. Refurbishing a 1970 Bolens Roto Tiller. SOB still runs. Pull start doesn't always engage the crankshaft though. Glad to see a fellow West Virginian not afraid to tear things apart and find out how to repair them. Thanks Guitar Man.

Remember, these things were designed for leaded gas. On mine, the jet for the needle valve was plugged solid, solid, like metal. Didn't even look a hole in the jet. Couldn't tell one used to be there. I tried poking a needle through it and nothing would clean it up. Finally I used a plumbers aceteline torch (B Tank) and that worked, along with a needle. Thing is, it got the brass so hot that it became soft and squished on the side I was holding the pliers on. Not so big a deal, I just heated it back up and quickly threaded it back into the side of the carb. Don't know if I'll ever get it out again, but it's working right now, anyway. Instead of taking the whole carb off, I just used my air compressor and blasted 180 Lbs of air into every little jet and hole I could find. I also dumped all the old gas and cleaned the tank with spirits. Left about 1/2 an once of spirits in the tank when I filled it back up with supreme unleaded gas. Worked really well. Thing runs like new, now.

Great video thanks, answered my question about 2 screens as I couldn't see the small on on the parts list. Do you know what the part no is please? And what does it do? is it a return ?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

If your talking about the 2 pickup tubes with the screens on the bottom? The long one pull fuel out of the tank, then the pump (diaphragm on the side) puts it in the little chamber under the carburetor then is drawn into the carb through the smaller pickup tube. so yeah, it is constantly pumping fuel through the long one. The part numbers are dependent on tank size. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@steveandrews8301]

"..then is drawn into the carb through the smaller pickup tube", you said. I don't understand. The smaller pickup tube is shorter, - how can it draw fuel into the carb if the tank is over half empty? I was thinking it might be an overflow tube / gas return line, I'm just guessing, though, Please explain a bit better; I want to understand this, too, - I have a carb on my tiller just like it, I'm trying to get to run. Thanks! And great video, and much needed!

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

@@steveandrews8301 I don't remember saying that, but I may have said it wrong, how these work is, the fuel pump draws fuel up through the long tube then pumps it out into the reservoir where the short tube goes in, the carb will draw gas in through the short tube out of the small reservoir. The reservoir has open sides so it is constantly being over filled and just spills over in the tank, works similar as a bowl on a float a type carburetor. If it didn't have the reservoir, like some of the early 2hp (and others) carbs didn't have, it makes them alot harder to start since it would have the pull the fuel up clear from the bottom of the tank. Hope this makes sense, and sorry about the confusion. Thanks for Watching!!!

Does it have good compression, the valves can stick or not seal and keep them from running if the compression is to low. Also, make sure the flywheel key did not shear, if its sheared then the spark timing can be out. Thanks for Watching!!!

Greetings. I am trying to resolve problems with a very older style Briggs horizontal mower with a Pull Choke looks like the one in your video. It is installed on an old Ariens rotary hoe (a barn find). I have solved all the problems except it requires a spring for the governor (missing) plus I am not sure how to install a replacement (fixing points, one is obvious). The model details where it should show the model number ..says model number but there is NO model number (faded away?) Could you kindly tell me the model number of the engine in your excellent video please?. Your support would be most appreciated.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

The model number should start with 13 on the 5hp, you can usually go by that, (that represents displacement, 13 cubic inches) there wasn't a whole lot of changes on these, as long as it has the same carburetor setup its the same, there were changes on piston rings though. And you should be able to find parts on tulsa engine warehouse or off of ebay if you just need a few parts. You can upgrade these to electronic ignition for not much more than the cost of putting new points in, by buying a magnetron coil for it, buy one for a model 13 made around 1983. But i do have videos on replacing points and condensers and setting the gap. hope this helps, Thanks for Watching!!!

Have you ever seen one leaking gas out of the back of the pull choke? i can't figure out how to fix it. Thanks for the video!

It might be from the gasket between the carb and tank, sometimes it can kind of spray up towards the carb. I've never had one leak at the choke though.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Thanks. On just about any small engine I set the adjustment to either 1.5 turns or 2 turns and that is usually close to what it should be, then just take small adjustments from there. Turn the screw in all the way till it bottoms out, just barely snug it, it won't take much to break or strip it, then back it out 1.5 turns and see what it does.

1. Where can I get an air filter for this type of engine...? Mine was rotted and fell apart when I pulled it out of the housing, and I can't find a replacement for it anywhere. 2. I have a 5-hp B&S engine looks just like the one in the video except there is a spring that goes to the choke to adjust the choke as the engine warms up. The auto-choke kills the engine after it's warmed up, and I don't see how to adjust it anywhere at all. If I can grab the choke fast enough before it dies, barely pull on it ever so slightly, to open it just a hint, the engine will come right back to life, but after a minute or so, will try to die again, and I have to repeat the process to keep it running (if I can catch it in time). It would be a great engine if that choke didn't move in too far after it warmed up like it does. Any idea how to adjust one of these pull-type chokes with the spring that auto adjusts the air/fuel mixture while it runs...? I can't find any info on this anywhere, but it looks like the choke on the engine in the video above, though it extends out from the carb just a little further, and has a spring attached to it that pulls it in as the engine warms up.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

The filter can be found on ebay or amazon, or any lawn mower parts store, if it is a 5hp like this it should be part number: 27987, here's a amazon link www.amazon.com/Briggs-Stratton-27987S-Filter-Element/dp/B0038U3GB4/ref=sr_1_3?crid=DCWS63F67VM1&keywords=briggs+and+stratton+air+filter+27987&qid=1576438467&sprefix=27987+%2Caps%2C185&sr=8-3 As far as the choke goes, your best method would be (in my opinion) to do away with the auto choke and work it manually, thats what i would do.

Hi, I have a 5hp Briggs with this carb on my mini bike. It would only start with starter fluid. I took the carb apart spraying everything with carb cleaner twice now. But still wont start and run. The piece inside the screw with the spring wasnt plugged. How can I tell if the diaphragm is bad? It wasnt torn. Thanks

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Sometimes the diaphragm will be stretched and won't pump correctly. A common problem on these is the small chamber where the shorter pickup tube goes in, will sometimes rust up and have pin holes. Its supposed to stay full of gas so it won't have to fill up the chamber first to start, after its running, shut it off, then remove the gas cap and look inside, if you see gas dripping down from it, then i'd say that is your problem. you can actually take these tanks apart at the seem and epoxy it on the inside, its a pain but can be done. also, if its running to lean these are hard to start as well. Hope this helps. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@larryfloyd7198]

At 4:37 in, while looking down into the carb, between the female thread housing for the air breather and the pull out choke, in the bottom of the choke housing is a small pin like item, about an 1/8” in diameter. What is the purpose of that part? Mine leaks fuel when I pour directly into the carburetor base. Do I need to replace the entire carburetor?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Its actually a rivet that holds the slide out choke in, if that is what your talking about. Its not really meant to seal, and they will also leak out of the vent tube on the side sometimes as well, especially if the rubber elbow is cracked. I wouldn't worry to much about it to be honest, these carburetors are really expensive, over a 100 dollars, and the cheap 15 dollar ones are for the new style tanks and won't work on these. These carbs are also bad about leaking between the carb and tank. Great carbs, just really picky at times! hope this helps! Thanks for Watching!

[@dearthworm]

Can anybody tell me if the "oil breather tube" is necessary for the engine to work properly. I'm currently working on a rototiller engine with a similar engine/carb. (Briggs 5 hp). I think it's a newer version though - it's the kind where it has the throttle and choke levers on a little 'control panel'. It is missing the oil breather tube, and when I checked an online parts catalog, they list the tube as "obsolete and unavailable". Mine still has the retainer clip for the tube under one of the carb-to-tank screws.A guy in another similar video about pulse-jet carbs casually mentioned that the port on the carb for the breather tube was plugged with silicone, but didn't say any more about it.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

IT will run fine without it, it doesn't affect performance or power, its just a emission control and if any oil is pushed through it will spill on the ground instead of going through the engine and can let water in the oil. You should be able to find it on ebay. But yeah if you plug the whole on the carburetor it will run fine, if you don't plug it can suck dirt/water into the carb while running. Thanks for Watching!!!

Good afternoon friend ... hey, sorry, my water pump engine won't get gasoline ... the tank will be covered as I do to fix it.

[@sgtjdawgx7995]

I have the engine on a go kart and need help hoking up the throtal any advice?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Its best to connect it to the bottom piece under the tank, so it will be governed, if you bypass the governor it will not hold up with the high rpm's. If you do it though... you will need some type of clamp and may have to make a bracket to anchor it to then connect the cable to where the linkage connects on the carburetor. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@billymoon1775]

Where did you purchase your carb rebuild kit at?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

You can get them off of ebay or amazon or from mfgsupply. several other places have them, the best kit i've found is made by primeline, better quality parts, will cost a few dollars more but i think its worth it. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

I will need your model type and code, there were a few slight changes to these carbs over the years. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@M6T7Y]

Do you still follow this video? If so, where do you buy your parts?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Yes, i follow all my videos, i always answer comments, i'm not always the fastest at getting to them though! I get most of my parts from tulsa engine warehouse (tewarehouse.com) they have the best prices, and you can usually save a fortune with buying aftermarker parts, usually just as good and a 1/4-1/2 the price! And i buy alot of stuff of ebay as well. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@steveandrews8301]

They seem to not be in business any more? Can't find them. When I googled them, this came up at the top of the search. Did this company buy them out, maybe? Thanks! www.smallenginewarehouse.com/

mainly wanted to know how to get that bottom bolt out ! and you did it off camera!!! , other than good info

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Sorry about that! I have showed it in newer videos though! Thanks for Watching!

[@ro7all]

@@fnaguitarplayer9 did you have to use a special wrench? , i can't seem to get any to fit and turn the bolt.

[@irwingreen7764]

​@@ro7allThat bolt is a 9mm, I believe. It's easiest if you remove the exhaust. It can be done but it's a pain with the exhaust on.

[@jeondatrack]

my motor only starts when i cover the carb with my hand then it cuts off after like 5-10 seconds its a briggs raptor on alky

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Sounds like the carburetor is trying to run to lean, the carb needs cleaned and or adjusted, if its cleaned thoroughly and still does it, it might need a rebuilt kit. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@stancromer5818]

I'm thinking about a needle-nose vise grips or a chisel

[@zenoist2399]

@@stancromer5818 Have you managed to get the air filter off and the choke plate part? You can buy things called s spanners or obstruction spanners ( wrenches). You can also get crows foot wrenches if you know the right size. You can also get offset spanners / wrenches.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

It can be a real pain on these carbs, its the only thing i don't like about them, you may be able to use a offset screwdriver on it or use the open end parts of the wrench on it. Alot of people change them out to a socket head/ allen drive screw. Thanks for Watching!

Yes it is, i actually just added a new video today on this same generator. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@carsonalbrecht4290]

We cleaned the carb with brake clean then pulled out the main jet but that is it we did not clean all of it

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

+Carson Albrecht Probably the governor needs adjusting then, follow the link in the video and that should take care of it. The carb could still be out of adjustment too.

[@christianweiderer7365]

what is the model number of the air filter and box

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

air filter is #27987 and the box is #397703 for before date code 84011000or 297036 fore after that date code. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@richiepadgett8946]

When I kill the motor has comes out from the pull choke.

[@richiepadgett8946]

Gas comes out not has lol.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Its normal for a little gas to build up in the carburetor when you shut it off, it will run out like that. thanks for watching!!!

[@BAZZAROU812]

You can buy a brand new carb for $16 on Amazon or Ebay.. Just saying..

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Those are the newer type that doesn't have the pull out choke, they will not bolt to this tank, they will work on these engines but the tank has to be changed as well, these carbs are over a 100 dollars. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@BAZZAROU812]

@@fnaguitarplayer9 Are you sure..

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Yep, the newer type will not bolt down on the tank, without serious modification, and there is no fuel mixture adjustment on them either. if you can find this type for that price let me know, i will buy like 20 of them haha

[@stinerart1]

Great vid and info,! Found the diaphram info I needed here. Outstanding and I would trust your advice.

[@fortyfour3087]

He is exactly right , I bought the one off Amazon , and the holes Do Not lineup ! Not worth making mod to tank, my problem is leaking fuel from gasket in between tank and carb I made my own , no luck Then I coated it on moto seal solvent gasket maker ... Made it alot better but still weeped out Bought the OEM gasket and still leaks slightly more than when I had the one with gasket maker .... It's a late 60s early 70s cub cadet snowblower Briggs 5hp , my guess , the tank or carb is slightly warped ... Not enough for me to worry about

[@nutthrower4415]

Really nice vid, my issue , being pretty much the same design as you have there other then the choke setup , mine being a lever on the side , is where to get new linkage, thanks for this vid though 👍

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Thanks! You may be able to find the linkages on ebay, sometimes people part out engines and you can find them, you can buy them new. Go to the briggs site and get the parts diagram for your engine using the model type and code numbers and that will get you the part #'s for them. Thanks for Watching!!!
