Haha you started calling them “carby” too now 🤣 I want that bloody ratchet! Great video kenny. Good camera angles and quality!

Imagine if I had a real camera and editing prowess? Thanks for watching!

After many years, I'm going to pick up a rolling cart tomorrow. Use it for tools and parts when working on 'stuff'. The one I'm looking at has shelves with sides. Like I said before, if you ain't making mistakes, you ain't working. I've made more than my share.

My 1000 pound Pender Lift is being used as a table in the shop, I need to make use of it lol. Thanks for watching!

Yes sir, the main jet was plugged, just took it out with out taking the carb off and ran the Harbor Freight carbide micro drill thru and it running great for this winters snow fall.

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Fantastic job, you make it look so easy. I would have gone for removing the handle bar too

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

Sometimes you have to remove the carb studs, this just seemed too easy to pass up. Thanks for watching Joseph.

Good one Ken - forgetting the gasket is such a classic. Nice that you show it cause often it is part of the job👍👍

Sounds great now. I was laughing with you. Different model but I have an mtd also. Specially with the handles. I like fiddle fairy. Great job. Take care.

Too bad you couldn't hear me shouting through the screen to put the gasket on before the breather. I could have saved you the time it took to dismantle. Great video Ken...Thanks and Happy New Year. John

The first inch we get, I'll be swamped with equipment! Thanks for watching!

Fine job Ken. The one thing i would like to know is how many SER mechanics have lost one of those metal bushings when they remove the plastic cover? You hear it drop, hit something then look all over and rarely find it eh! I now put a drop of Seal All glue on the exterior of the bushing and push it back in once i remove it from the carb then never have to worry about it the next time i work on it.

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

Great Idea! I'm too lazy lol! Thanks for watching Wayne!

[@Big_Johns]

Nice job Ken, she's running great now. 👍 Yep, you sound like Bruce!! 🤣

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

What a compliment!!

41:41 I did remind you, you didn’t listen. I did a very similar Snowblower two weeks ago. The carb was so corroded I bought a new one. I tried a cleaning/ rebuilding 3x. It would not seal the needle. I removed the handle doing mine.

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

I did another one today 212cc MTD Powermore, carb was so Rusty and Varnished I just replaced it!

[@haneyoakie14]

@@KensSmallEngineRepair I like to think I can save them, but when they are cheap Chinese carbs to begin with, replacing it with a cheap Chinese carb is not a sin.

What is a snowblower used for?

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

Lately Pat it's anyone's guess!

Snow Flurry Warning for Wednesday!!

[@mrbubetube]

I think they're used in the fall for blowing leaves

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

@@patbfd I hope so!
