[@scalestuff1066]

Self employed gardener,I used to get through a mower a year,since finding this channel iv had the same mower 3 years now,thing looks like its been through WW3 wheels are nearly falling off of the thing XD

[@richard74200]

So glad to see you back doing another lawnmower vid. This new type of B&S engine seems to be on every mower in the big DIY stores now.

[@rogerlucas5248]

Thank you, @mowerman, you saved our mower! It kept surging and stalling. I followed your video and stripped down the carb, especially the white plastic bit with the tubes in. All blown through with WD40 and reassembled. Runs like a train now! 😀

[@MowerMan]

Excellent!

[@carolinelea3063]

Thank you Paul managed to tweak the governor spring on my cobra 450 e seems to of done the trick … for ever grateful you just saved me £45.00 at the mower repair shop. Wishing you every success with your new venture.

[@eclectarama]

Great to hear from you, Paul. You've bounced back.

[@kiltishly]

I just found your videos. My 450E is surging like yours in the video, I'll try cleaning the carb before replacing it. It's been a great lawnmower (Lidl buy from a few years ago) and I've neglected it. It's got the original oil still in it lol. Thanks to your video, I'll treat it to new oil and a spruce up this summer.

[@danieljones6805]

Great video, my briggs 35 classic has a problem. It runs very well while just idling or when mowing fine short grass, but when mowing long tough grass it makes a lot of black smoke. I use the correct NGK plug in it and wondered if a diaphragm and gasket would fix the problem. Thanks.

What a pleasure to see a new video from you Mr Paul ! I was watching you years and years ago. Cheers!

[@horacepinker6578]

I swear when you started wrestling with the fuel line I thought there was going to be one of two outcomes. 1 split hose 2. broken off fuel line barb on the carb I find a flat screw driver wedged and gently twisted between carb and hose applies just the right amount of force for the hose to come off even if the rubber has bonded

[@richard74200]

I removed the flywheel on this model and then underneath there is a metal tray which supports the fuel tank and oil dip stick. This was well rusted on mine so I went to remove it to clean up and found that it has a liquid gasket applied to the underside where I think there is a chamber for fuel air mix. This type of engine seems overly complicated compared to previous B&S engines. If you ever remove this tray, please post a video on this. Many thanks.

Hi great video, glad your well.i have the same proplem with my mower, it's a mountfeled with a auto chock and no primer best wishes to you. Hope you do another video soon.

[@LiveseySeaDog]

Thanks for detailed video! Managed to fix carburator isues. But looks like there's one more problem with gas tank vacuum. After some time of work the engine starts to loose power and stall. This can be temporary fixed by opening the fuel cap for a sec. Then it works fine for 5-10 minutes untl the next opening. Can't see any gas tank breather that can level pressure difference out. Is there something to cleanup that I missed?

[@themowerman]

Yo yo hi Paul.. what a lovely lunch time video.. I have the same mower without a box..

[@MowerMan]

Cheers Mick!

[@Grahams-Grass]

Good for you I've not had very good results on these think I'm 50% success rate on these 🤮👍🍺

[@lnby]

I think I've watched every 300e/400 video that you've done, a massive help so thank you! I have a Briggs 300e and it surges/pulses, I've replaced the carb, spark plug, air filter but no joy. Next plan is an oil change, new blade and fresh petrol. One question: with the copycat carbs they include a red O-ring which I assume goes on the manifold between that and the white retaining washer on carb? The fitment from copy at black O-ring wasn't that snug so I had to re-use the original briggs black o-ring. Any other ideas?

[@marshmower]

Those engines have a secret or two. Out of the box..... test it before the warranty expires. People buy these on sale and don't try them till spring. The jet needs a slight reaming with a .5mm drill bit. Maybe a .6mm on the larger displacement. I messed up and had to remove the jet and solder fill it. Then use the .5mm..... .7mm is too big for the 125cc and it will chug like a steam engine. Works great now. My "customer" keeps it in the garage too. Oil level seems to affect the governor in a big way.

[@turd6776]

I bought A new Mac lawn mower with new briggs e engine their nice lawn mowers

[@johnanderson3746]

Where the triple towers goes in you need to clean down in there too. I think there's a jet ir hole that gets clogged in there too. Clean with carb cleaner and compressed air . Make sure spray in hole it comes out other end

Hi Paul, i have sickle bar mower build with briggs 550e motor. My problem is the motor is surging. I cleaned the carb twice, but still surging. What i find out is, when i adjust the trotthle the rev not changing. Could you pls help me? Thanks a lot 😊

Great to see this video as I'm tinkering around with my qualcast xss41d push mower which keeps surging last year I did a carburettor clean and it improved its performance but still surging as such could a damage flywheel key make it surge as well? any advice would be much appreciated kind regards Dave 👍

It will be the carb. theses are prone to it. You can get a replacement real cheap

[@CheezeeMcCheez]

I have a 10 yo mower with this Briggs and Stratton 450e engine. It revs up and down, as though the throttle is continually opening and closing. I watched another video of Mowerman's explaining how to clean the carb. I did that, and it was just the same. Then I figured the fuel was old. So I replaced it with new conditioned fuel. Then, still no better. Finally, I decided to simply replace the carb because they're cheap enough. Still no better. It also has a new spark plug and filter. I figured it may be the throttle governor, but I can't tell. Can anyone help, please?

How is your engine a year later? I am a dummie in petrol motor lawnmower life. I got today a new from shop, some austrian made, i guess "old model" 46cm lawnmower with 500e briggs engine. Would be good if you give any replies or comments. Thanks

[@davep4703]

Hi hope you can help, I have a Briggs 500E engine on a lawnmower its one year old it has the red fuel primer bulb. Now when I push the bulb there is no sound of fuel being squrted into the engine, so starting is slow. On the right side of the carb there is a white plastic spur shaped plastic stub of a tube, that is not fitted to anything. What is this for. I have seen videos suggesting this plastic stub should be blocked off in order to get the primer to pump fuel, what is your take on all this. Regards Dave Porter

[@MowerMan]

The white plastic stub should not be connected to anything. I believe it's some sort of air inlet. You don't hear much when you prime that model. I would spray some quick start spray in the head by removing the spark plug spraying then replacing. Quickly try to pull it over. If it fires up for a second and dies you know its not ignition related but fuel starvation. Service the carb and make sure the choke opens and closes if it has one

[@jasonb4166]

I have the same primer bulb problem myself. Looks like a plastic stub tube sticking out the side…. I can hold the primer bulb plate and carb together in my hand and cover that tube stub with one finger and push the primer and i can hear it trying to prime gas through it. I think im gonna block that tube off
