Craftsman Single Stage Snowblower fuel line repair

I bought this snowblower for 50 bucks. I was told the fuel line fell off and they did not want to take it apart and fix it again. Did I get scammed or was I lucky?

2 in a row where the carb didn’t have to come off. Always good when thats the case. Nice video Bri 🤙🏼

[@5beesgarage]

Thanks Chris. I am worried when my luck runs out how bad the carb will be. HAHA

[@640amthemix]

Great Video👍. I had the same snow blower years ago that eventually seized up. Ended up on the curb. Wish I kmew 5 Bees back then!

[@5beesgarage]

Thanks for the comment. I guess it is all in the timing. LOL

[@taekwondobro]

You make it seem super simple to fix these things

[@5beesgarage]

If I can do it you can too. Its not really that difficult once you understand the concept of how these engines work. Thanks for the comment.

[@MowersNBlowers]

Good angles and editing bro! Nice job!

[@5beesgarage]

Thanks Henry. I learned from the best! LOL

Had a neighbor who worked on lawn mowers who wanted me to do a dab of welding for him and he gave me one just like yours that’s in good shape and runs.need to change the oil and make a crank handle for the soot and I’m good to go but I was going to do the welding for free.his idea

[@5beesgarage]

That's awesome

[@baaablacksheep4003]

Found one today and brought it home Put some non ethanol 1:40 already mixed Started up Idle was running high ? Auger wasnt spinning ? And thats it

[@5beesgarage]

There is a belt under the plastic covers. I think it is on the machines left side.

Nice save doctor...

[@5beesgarage]

Thank you Sir.

[@barrykilts4506]

With all my cords I can’t find one with the right end on it to try the elec start but that’s so cool and for free

[@5beesgarage]

Thanks for the comment Barry. There is more to come.

[@barrykilts4506]

It does work and a couple yrs ago when I was still disabled it started right up after sitting for yrs.no such luck now though,fuel in the carb and finally dry rotted the fuel line so I ordered a carb kit but haven’t gotten to it yet.after being down a long time I’m way behind but I know it runs and has new oil so soon as I get to it all I’ll need is snow but I’m not dumb enough to pray for it!

"So picked up the SS Titanic from someome on Craigslist. They say it won't float and it wont start. Let's pop it open and put some new gaskets in it. Maybe it'll come back up"

[@5beesgarage]

Never hurts to try.

[@CMCSS-to3to]

@@5beesgarage true haha, keep resurrecting these machines. Its pretty cool

[@warlardevil]

Silly question i recently got a pretty beat up one like this and need to get replacement wheels, do you know what size are the wheels? Also how do you change the oil?

[@5beesgarage]

II am not sure of the wheels size but if you take the Craftsman model number and google it you should be able to find a parts diagram with the part number of the wheels listed. This unit is a 4 cycle and requires the lower rear cover be removed to change the oil. If yours is a 2 cycle it uses oil/gas mix.

Hello, did you use plastic tubing for fuel line? Just trying to learn... I didn't see fuel lines in HD, maybe I can use plastic tubing?

[@5beesgarage]

When it comes to fuel lines make sure they are rated for fuel. regular tubing may dissolve or deteriorate and cause leaks or worse.

[@lezleycurran9076]

is there a video on changing or cleaning the carbruetor

[@5beesgarage]

I do not have a video of cleaning that particular carb. Some of my other videos feature carb cleanings. Most are very similar.

[@barrykilts4506]

Can you drain the oil out of the engine or pour it out the fill tube?

[@5beesgarage]

Barry, I am not sure as I have not changed the oil. I plan on doing that soon as the snow season is coming.

[@curtwuollet2912]

I hope you didn't pay much for that. Looks like it's been rode hard and put away wet.

[@5beesgarage]

50 bucks

@@5beesgarage I picked up a 21" 212cc powersmart on black Friday for $200 so I was looking at single stage blowers to get an idea what to expect. I had been watching for a used 2 stroke to fix up but no luck.
