8 HP Briggs Carburetor disassembly and Cleaning

8 HP Briggs Carburetor disassembly and Cleaning

[@sweetkellymay]

Great video ..Real mechanic, no gloves.. Just a tip ..When you screw in the main jet, tighten it, then loosen it..Do this a few times and it will help to seat it better..

[@km6344]

Excellent video !! thank you very very very much! I just started getting into this carburetor and I figured something wasn't right, and lo and behold there was your video! You taking your time you didn't speed through things or gloss over facts no matter how simple they may have been, and that made this the perfect video! Better than most other videos on KZbin, we're guys assume that their viewers no certain techniques or what may appear simple to them as they gloss over it by stopping the video and picking up somewhere else. That usually leaves me with my jaw hanging open screaming, that's the part I needed to know! Thank you very much!

The best video on these carbs that I’ve seen. I like how you lay it all out in “country folk” language so us “hillbillies” can understand you. 😂 A great video that shows how to do it right !!!!

[@douglasbattjes3991]

Great job, first time I saw someone do the whole cleaning, SM

[@BruceBoschek]

That was a perfect tutorial, Stan! They don't get better'n that! I liked the home-made screwdriver. I've made or modifed a lot of tools get the job done. I have to admit that I'm a bit envious of your steady hands. :-) Thanks for showing us how to do it.

Thank you. Getting ready to clean the same carburetor on a 34 year old, 8 hp, Briggs and Stratton engine. ...perfect.

[@Hear-MeoutTwo2]

Great video, great tips.

[@rob8529]

I have this engine on an old Coleman Powermate generator. It's running really rough and only runs if I have it almost fully choked. This video will be very helpful when I take it apart. Thank you.

[@exhebetche]

Same, with a walk behind leaf blower. Glowing red exhaust to. Carb's apart, one of the 4 holes in the middle of the main jet is clogged. Hope u got yours fixed up.

When I remove and replace mufflers I always put anti-seize grease on the threads after cleaning them.

[@Fixinthatupvideos]

[@MissouriOldTimer]

the first time I worked on one of those carburetors, I ruined that fuel nozzle, I didn't know it had to come out before taking the carburetor apart, but learn by doing I guess..

[@Fixinthatupvideos]

MissouriOldTimer yes sir been there also - Thanks for Stopping by ......... Stan

[@johnwiese577]

[@williamdavis3509]

[@jdram58]

Good video but tolate I messed up the needel the long one so Im gonna have to buy a new carburator but guess what its pretty cheap so Im glad about that but I will still have a motor w electric start

[@davidhatzenbuhler6888]

On gravity feed fuel systems you should stick with the fuel screens. You don't want to use a paper fuel filter element for gravity feed because the fuel can get hung up in the paper element. The red Briggs & Stratton 298090S fuel screen on your tiller is 150 microns. The White Briggs & Stratton 394358S fuel screen that I run on my tiller is a 75 micron element. Not sure that they make a finer mesh screen element than 75. Running a slosh of E0 Synthetic oil 2 stroke fuel in an empty tank just before storage is not a bad idea. It'll keep the tank and float bowel from rusting as quickly and Zero Ethanol fuel won't turn to goo as fast as E10 or E15.

[@cutworm59]

Wow Stan! That tiller is huge mclarge Is all your equipment BIG?

[@Fixinthatupvideos]

cutworm59 no that thing is a little ole Horse Model Thinking about getting a Crosley and putting a Tiller behind it for a Big one lolllllllllll Thanks for stopping by Steve

I hope this fella has monitized his channel. 11k subscribers could fetch him a nice paycheck.

[@paulmatejcek8936]

Might be useful to mention a couple of steps between removing a gasoline-filled carburetor and hitting it with a torch. Somebody's lawyer will think he won the lottery when he sees this.
