That Jello, looking stuff is part of ethanol. That it comes with the gas. You may want to clean The manjet. If you can get it out. Because it will be clogged up some.

[@erinhuiras7747]

You remind me of working with my dad as a kid. He had a way of putting words together that I would never believe would fit but somehow worked.

[@mattwilkinson8502]

Fought a Mantis tiller this evening. Thought it was carb issues but I think it was the gas line to the carb as it broke off with little to no effort. Good video Ross

[@michaelsheeder148]

Ross, looks like you resurrected the dead again 😉. I believe right I didn't hear any animal noises 🤣🤣🤣 thanks Michael

[@michaelshingleton1628]

The gelatin is the alcohol. I get this in my boat. There are gas stations around that sell straight gas. I typically get four gas cans at a time to run in my small engines every two weeks.

[@CoTOliver]

Thers is a project tractor for your collection on market place. 1969 oliver 1250 gas, for $1250. In almena Kansas though. Just a heads up.

[@keithwuchter624]

Good video Ross. Nice to see the old guy is running again. Seems to me also it's the watered -down gas. Nice job.

[@oldasdirt1909]

Isn’t it amazing how vise grips rust when you lose them in the grass then run over them with the lawn mower. Have a great day

[@williammatzek4660]

At least it's not stuck up!

[@garycathey7712]

Ethanol gasoline will have a certain amount of water in it and if it sits for long periods the water will separate. I think that is what’s creating the jelly. I put stabil in all my mower gas and other fuel that will be sitting for long periods. Maybe that will help your problem.

[@davidbarnes706]

Back to running again good job

[@corydriver7634]

Love how you still have the auction sticker on the steering wheel. How long have you had this now?😂

[@royhaught9516]

I had that problem with my small engines and it was because of ethanol gas! Started running non ethanol gas and end of problem!

[@paulbush-g4q]

It is for the ethanol in the gas I treat mine with sea foam and seems to help

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Nothing like getting the good old wash down from the gas blow back! All those older motors with carburetors seems to be somewhat problematic. I've repaired and replaced several throughout the years or had to rebuild them. I guess it's just what you have with those, I suppose, fun stuff. Thanks and I hope you don't have any sadness for today and/or the weekend.😁Have a good one!

[@alexgarrod9093]

Sweet little truck

[@Ron-m9p]

great job on cleaning the carb

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Cleaning out that fuel tank would be my next rainy day job I think. Using tools to bug for the job is all i know how to do too, especially when it comes to carburetors.

[@JohnBryant-qc5zg]

I needed that nap!

[@alexgarrod9093]

Might have some sort bad resdew in tank someting in bottom maybe flush it threw

[@Kronkus36]

Ethanol Gas causes gel like that, happened to me on my snowblower

[@corydriver7634]

That jelly is probably water, or was water. Why not use your ultrasonic cleaner for the carb? This is the perfect job for it.

[@100660mr]

Sta-bil did that to my generator.

[@larryklostermann5779]

Nice video Ross

[@Ham68229]

Well Ross, now days, they no longer sell carb rebuild kits, you have to buy an entire new carb.

[@waggtech4883]

I’ve come to the conclusion that a fella needs to add a shut off valve to the carburetor so he can run the bowl dry at shut down. Everything I’ve got without one has thrown carb fits while every one that has a shut off and gets run dry seems fine.

[@stephenheyes4324]

Ross only slight sadness but you got it running but for how long before sadness returns

[@NA-sy2fm]

Ross out here resurrecting the dead. The White House is going to be calling soon. 😂🎉

[@rosstheoliverman]

I don’t think even I could bring that mess back to life! 🤣🤣🤣

[@JasonWoods-d1v]

I agree 😂😂

[@jeffabney1984]

Looks like stabil or some other fuel saver additive.

[@williammatzek4660]

At Boeing Wichita.we.call them push man scooters.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

Petroleum jelly? You might want to check the filler neck for Vaseline. 😂

[@DonWelter]

Well...pshaw!!! Sometimes our best laid plans can go asunder LOL At least it's kinda-sorta runnin.

[@clarencetrice4442]

HI ROSS 😊😊 I seen a tractor 🚜 😮 do the same thing 1 time I don't know who had it or where it was from they must didn't drain the gas tank and flush it out at all it would do the same thing also start and run a bit and cut off 😮😮 had 2 take the carb off and a part and clean out good 😊😊 U never seen so much dirt and trash and also water 💦 😮 that look like it ou/ of a mud hole after thing was good and clean and the carb put back 2 gether and everything also put back and tight ready 2 start it started right 👉 😊 up then it ran the way it should as frog horn leg horn would say I say I say son it alot better than what it was 😊😊 OMG 6 28 2O24

[@bigun447]

Look for a vacuum leak stopping the idle.

[@paulcrawford8425]

I'm thinking somehow you got E85 gas in the tank, it tends to turn to gel over time.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Good chance.... Something I wouldn't have thought of.

[@paulprillwitz9901]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@corydriver7634]

Use Berryman instead of Seafoam, it’s cheaper and works more gooder.

[@JohnBryant-qc5zg]

I’ve been slimmed!

[@drunkensasquach3311]

Ethanol gasoline will jell at .5% moisture... Industry standard 10 years ago when I looked into it was .3% acceptable

[@drunkensasquach3311]

I'm talking 10% not e85

[@GemmaLB]

Looks like the result of ethanol in gas, the alcohol absorbs water and turns to gel

[@michaelhinkle6648]

It's ethanol Mr Ross. I work on small engines and add it every day just about.

[@brianhayes7618]

Use ethanol free gas and you problems will go way down

[@mowerjeff8990]

It’s chineseniuum gasoline.

[@brianhayes7618]

Sounds like wster in the fuel

[@oldasdirt1909]

I’d change the fuel filters that was some strange stuff
