Easy Troubleshooting and Installation Of Carburetor On Briggs & Stratton V Twin Riding Mower Engine

[@laruex3]

As a 53 year old woman who loves to work on things and try (MOST of the time successfully- lol) to fix them myself, BUT had never worked on a carburetor before, this video was one of the most in-depth, helpful ones I watched. Like you, I had the issue of one of this linkages falling off while switching carbs, and your video saved me from a lot of worry about whether I had put it back on correctly! Everything went back together as it should and now I don’t have to haul our Husqvarna zero-turn off to be fixed. FWIW, I’m also a former high school English teacher, and I definitely give you an A+ for providing such clear, concise, step-by-step instructions. Thank you so much!

Thanks a lot, very good video. I put the choke wire in the back hole instead of the front. The motor would start using ether but would not restart. After watching your video I saw I had put the choke wire in the wrong hole. I had to remove the carb again to get the choke wire in the front hole. Runs and starts perfect now.

I replaced a carb on my craftsman yt4500 26 hp briggs. Original carb was surging bad. So decided to get new carb, took me forever after installing carb to get the auto choke linkage to work at all or even able to start mower. Now I have to give a shot of starting fluid, starts up then rest of time will start fine when mowing. I am afraid to remove carb again since took me a long time after installing to get it to run and I have 1.5 acres to mow weekly.

Another well-done, nicely described video with no fluff. Just curious if was your mower, no labor, rebuild or aftermarket carb? I personally have had 2 aftermarkets bad out of the box, while rebuilding is a pain gotten good results including a Nikki 4 screw to actually work great again. Just curious, thanks....

[@IndRepair]

I appreciate that! I always inspect whatever I get, sometimes the o-rings are not seating well. I would use an aftermarket with no hesitation. What was wrong with the aftermarket ones out of the box?

[@buffalobluecheese]

@@IndRepair exactly what happened in this video, surging. Both were on snowblowers, one I corrected by doing the enlargement of the low idle jet & that solved it. Other one tried low idle, main jet, nothing solved surging with that carb. Ordered 2nd one & worked fine.

[@IndRepair]

@@buffalobluecheese I see them work many times but always inspect carburetor bowl and jet sizes before installing. I was not aware the OEM carburetor of this has two different jet sizes but they do run well

[@buffalobluecheese]

@IndRepair The D shaped screw that stops the idle from swinging, low idle jet is under that. I count how many turns in, then back all the way out, pop low idle jet out & many times that's a gummed up ethanol spot. Also can be slightly enlarged by couple thousandths with a micro drill bit to reduce surging.

Just rebuilt the Nikki carburetor on my 26hp Briggs Intek only to find out that I had a massive air leak from a warped plastic intake manifold! Had to buy a new manifold to fix the problem!

[@IndRepair]

Yeah, they warp pretty badly sometimes at the intake, especially when ran hot. Thanks for watching!

[@joleaiperlis5347]

Was it causing it to surge up and down really bad?? My B&S 26 HP is surging really bad. Already cleaned carb, adjusted governor to no avail. My manifold has the rubber orings on either side that seal against heads but I still put intake gaskets. I did notice there seems to be some gasoline leaking down the manifold where the gaskets are . Upon futher inpsection, I noticed none of the intake manifold make contact with the heads( sit flush). There is a small gap. Should I remove the gasket and just buy new rubber O-rings? The ones on there are smashed in, which probably will not make a good seal even after removing the manifold gaskets I installed. Gonna buy the new Orings and replace without the gaskets and see if it seals correctly. If not i might need to get a new intake manifold unit Does anyone out there know why both the oring and the gaskets show up in the parts diagram??? Any imput is highly appreciated. TIA

[@markeasterwood1187]

Would you also need to spray the carb cleaner from underneath to check for air leaks below? The way the intake is attached to the carb I would think so

If the o rings (692138) are bad will that make the engine flood gas out the exhaust pipes and in the carb air intake?

No, this will be because of the needle/seat not sealing or the gasket between the plastic and carburetor

Hi Sir. Thx for the great video. I was wondering, I have the same issue and thought about pulling out the carburator. When I did tho, I noticed there was no splash of fuel like you when you take out the fuel tube on top of the carb. I tested the solenoid alone and it seems to work but it feels of going down kind of slowly. (Its the first time I do this so I have no reference on that) Anyway, I have 2 questions pls, 1) With what product can I clean the solenoid? 2) I suspect the fuel pump as there seems to be no gaz in the tube, how can I test the pump? Thank you very much

[@IndRepair]

Your test with taking the fuel line off at the carburetor and turning over the engine by trying to start it will tell you what you need to know. It should shoot out of the line about 2 feet if the fuel pump is working good and there are no restrictions in the line/filter. You can use carb/choke cleaner to clean the fuel solenoid

[@helloween665]

@@IndRepair Thx a lot for the tips. I took out the carb, cleaned it with card/choke cleaner and did the same thing with solenoid. I put it back and wanted to test the fuel pump and I noticed that the little round dot on the fuel pump(which I suposse it the air entry point) was kind of obstructed but stuff. I cleaned that also and tested the pump. It wasnt shooting the gaz much but I had some. I connected all that and my tractor started right away.

I need help. My mower last year had complete tune up new carb, belt whole9. Was running great till the other day got ready to mow white smoke billowing out the front engaged the blades and kept cutting off. Rewind in my mind the last time I mowed id notice the garage with a strong smell of gas.

I would double check that the is not an air leak between the engine/intake or intake/carburetor. Get the high rev issue figured out before addressing the smoking

[@coryrose67]

I bought the same carb you did bc it matched my engine too but for some reason the engine is shooting gas and oil out of the exhaust and gas keeps flooding out the air intake then the engine shuts off and won’t turn over. Any ideas?

My throttle won't go back to the idle position with the new carburetor. Like you mentioned in the video, I had to grind down the intake a bit for the throttle linkage to move freely. But when I reconnect the linkage, it is still at full throttle all the time. Wondering if I need a longer linkage arm with the new carb or if I maybe bumped one of the springs out of position when putting it back together. Any suggestions?

[@IndRepair]

Linkage will not need changed, does the throttle move freely if you move it and the linkage up/down? If not one of the gaskets or the metal plate could be put on wrong

[@cmose42]

@@IndRepairYes, it does move freely. Metal plate is facing out away from carb like you had shown in the video. When I install and connect linkage, I'm able to push it back to idle/low throttle by hand but there's tension from the springs so it doesn't stay on its own.

And it is not resting against the low screw right?

All these videos of so-called mechanics not cleaning parts before they reinstall them is the exact reason why I never take anything to a shop. That and seeing how dirty the shop is. As far as notching the intake that is just dumb! That carb because of the governor will never run past about 1/2 throttle, unless someone dicked with the governor, and it is way over revving. As fa as the surging is concerned the throttle cable is not opening the throttle all the way, the circle that the throttle cable hooks to is supposed to be all the way to the stop at full throttle. You sold them a carb that they did not need. Take the old one and clean it. put a 10 dollar oring kit in it make sure you watch which jet goes where and put it back on. You didn't even check to see if the knockoff carb had the same jets in it that the original carb had.

The throttle will absolutely go to full when put under a load. Without the nothing it will get stuck as some point. This is actually the same with the OEM replacements. Missed moisture in the line because it cleared up within a couple minutes of running. Everything important was cleaned then we power wash everything after

Yeah I understand that. I have made changes to ensure the newer ones are not like this but hopefully you found what you needed to

[@elmore119]

Or cleaning it before you tore into it

[@IndRepair]

Did we show the process? We clean everything up well after it is finished with a pressure washer. No risk of contamination with this job unless you don't pay any attention to what your doing
