Your videos are much appreciated! I bought a 20 year old Simplicity snow blower last year. It ran great for a few storms. Then it ran rough and gas was gushing out of the carburetor bulb. I had no idea what was wrong. Looked up KZbin for help and discovered your videos for rebuilding carbs. The brass float wasn't floating because of fuel leaking into it. I followed your videos for taking apart, replacing the float, adjusting the idle screws, governor arm, and throttle screw. It started on the first pull and is adjusted just right. I've never done anything like this before so congrat's for posting these videos!

That's a great video! Our snowblower sat outdoors, partly covered for a number of years (at least 10) and with fresh gas did start and run for a few moments briefly this fall, but then wouldn't start at all. I got a rebuild kit and new float and followed the video instructions and it started, and ran, on the the first try; and restarted easily. So thank you very much for the excellent presentation. It was clear, and I especially appreciated the close-ups showing exactly what goes where. Also appreciated your explaining that drill bits could be used if the special tool wasn't available--it wasn't.

You talk about installing the needle seat with the ridge facing the bottom of the carb. To me, it looks like you installed it facing the top of the carb. You did have the carb upside down in the video. If the ridged end goes into the hole first, then it is truly facing the top of the carb. Is this correct? Other than that point, it is refreshing to see someone present material like this in a professional and methodical approach. Keep up the good work. Chris

Hello Dony. thanks for the instructions. I have a (I believe it's 5HP) MTD Snow King Model 317-550-000 with the Tecumseh engine. I was given this snowblower. It had sat for years. I cleaned the carburetor, but it still won't run good. Perhaps I didn't do a very good job...not like you did. I'm going to get the repair kit like you did. The main problem with my carburetor now is that it will only run on full choke making the control lever useless. When I try to "off choke" it dies. I believe I have everything out of adjustment now as I've been tweaking it to make it run on full choke. Any other pointers much appreciated. What I'll be doing at any rate is follow your video instructions. Thank you again.

Thanks for another great video! I'm working on my daughter inlaw's 20 yr old Toro7/24 with HSK70 engine. New carb is the way I would go for gas delivery issues but Tec has discontinued. I bought rebuild kit and proceeded as you so aptly teach on this video but cannot get more than 1600 rpm and lots of popping. I see that TEC has venturi listed as a separate part but noticed that you did (and other videos I viewed) did not remove it as you do in other videos. I also could not remove it as I have in large TEC engines. Are there any side holes in this ventury? By now I have watched tons of your videos and am pretty capable but having lots of trouble with this machine that was extremely well cared for and looks better than many 6-8yr old machines. I rebuilt carb on my aunt;s 36 yr old 7/24 Toro and that starts 1st pull consistently. Cleaned and adjusted ignition coil as well. It is an HSK70 130282U. Any ideas? I have viewed your vids on ignition issues and wonder if there is a definitive way to check the ignition module for spark present but maybe weak?

Hey Dony, great vids. My carburetor is leaking gas from the tiny air intake hole...It just streams out and won't start. Is it an adjustment or need a rebuild? Or is the float not working? Also the governor arm is not attached to the throttle linkage but is connected to the carburetor the throttle has a bent wire thing that is all twisted up to be kept out of the way? I just got the machine its an old one but ran great last year. Its a 4hp 20 inch something like 900023 model.

yeah linkage is ok I took a pic before and matched it up exactly, ahh so frustrating, hope its not the governor...could carb still be dirty?

I was wondering about that, I am sure his carb is probably dirty and needs a rebuild, it's gas oil mix, it starts ok in the summer but it won't in the winter
