Tecumseh Needle & Seat Tool - Product Review

Product Review!
Today we'll be looking at an aftermarket version of a Tecumseh 670377 Carburetor needle & seat / float adjustment tool.
I'll show you why it's a great tool to have when working on snowblowers that use Tecumseh Carbs, as it makes removing the old seat, and installing the new seat incredibly easy!
I purchased mine on Amazon Canada;

So it's actually called a Crochet Hook, and not a Darning Needle, but you guys get the idea!

[@R.Akerman-oz1tf]

Yah, Mum had quite an assortment.

[@fort147]

Praise to you, passing knowlage from person to another is a true, and kind gift that is timless!😊

[@BrucesShop]

I use that tool every week. Fun stuff.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching!

[@waynestefinashen239]

The OLD MAN here just to mention a few weird things i noticed while watching this video: 1. Like the 3 in one tool while using the 3 IN ONE OIL for lubrication, 2. Craftsy actually had a crochet ad put on your video while you showed us how to use the crochet hook to remove the seat. A weird coincidence? Keep them coming you are doing an excellent job on these tutorials.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching, and helping with set up!

[@beanolatte2682]

My seat removal method is an air hose on the fuel inlet while I have my finger over the needle hole. Almost always works. I use a pick to loosen the stuck ones. Drill bit to install new one that I coat in 2 cycle oil.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

That'll work too, thanks for watching!

[@stayathome2]

I bought the genuine Techumseh tool a few years ago, and I don't remember it being outrageously expensive. But I'm in the U.S. and it was before covid. However, it's a very useful tool to have, even for a non-professional like myself. Great video!

[@R.Akerman-oz1tf]

I wonder what the height measurement is(if no tool is available)?

[@marknye51.thefixitguy]

Great Video.. I've used everything cept the tecumseh tool.. I think I'll look.for one

[@arbez.nation]

I just use a drywall screw to remove & blunt end of a drill bit to install. I've done hundreds without an issue.

[@vernonbosshard9317]

Might add that if you have the old brass metal float, shake it, if you hear liquid inside you need to replace it. If you suspect it pour a small amt of gas in coffee can and using something to gently hold it submerged for a min or two then check. Its brass, its thin, I had seen a few get holes in them, the carb will overflow with gas when that happens.

[@adamjurrens1897]

Hey Brother, awesomesauce video. I love doing carburetors. Done probably 15 from my 350 Mercruiser boat, snow blower, mower, Harley, and I did a video on carb clean dvx 400. I never took the seats out and now I'm buying this tool thanks to you. I got it from Amazon for 3 bux but with S @H was $8.50 and it's a different brand. Peace from Minnesota...

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching, cheers from Ontario, Canada!

[@Tommyr]

I bought this tool a few years ago, good one to have even if you just work on your own stuff like me. Multi use too and not expensive either.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Yes it's definitely worth $12, thanks for watching!

[@Mike-ig2zq]

Super vid Jake. The only time I did this I held the carb in the upright position to push the seat in with drill bit because I figured with my luck it would flip for sure. Thanks again!

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheBandit93]

Thank you for the great review on the Tecumseh carburetor tool. This was an interesting video because I am going to be purchasing one of these tools. I learned something new in this video as well I did not know that the center of the handle was designed flat to check for the correct float level. Take care and stay safe. 🔧👍

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching, it's a great tool, very useful!

[@n8sot]

Ive found ALL your vids very useful and imitative. Great job!!! Great stuff!!!!

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching!

[@dfields9511]

great video, without tool this is my method to kind of get the same results - I use a drywall screw to remove seat or an angled mini pick, ( I know it destroys it , but it removes it ) - for install I use a mini pick or paper clip to get the seat into the hole - to push it down I use a machine screw or Allen wrench - to measure the float distance height, I use the shank of a 11/64 drill bit

[@EliminatorPerformance]

A drywall screw would work great, thanks for watching!

[@jimmypopp2695]

Thank you I needed to learn how this tool works. I just bought one.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

[@oumenelabrise2155]

Thanks for the informative video.

[@kjell-richardlvdal373]

Wery good information, i Have to get the china pin, IT is important to Have a tight seal for the float needle, so the carburator work best AS possible

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Exactly, thanks for watching!

[@fenrislegacy]

The Tecumseh tool really is a crochet hook on which they attached a piece of machined brass. They're available in various sizes.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

It works great!

[@JamesNickersonThePhotoShopGuru]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@marksarkaquariums9056]

I use a air hose and shoot air into the gas barb.The seat comes out fast.First time I did it I put my finger over the hole to catch the seat and it felt like I got shot with a pellet gun.Lol

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching!

[@chadbosko8935]

I have 3 used tecumseh carbs and they all poor gas out when I turn the gas on, would it be because when I'm cleaning them I use an air compressor to blow through all the openings and I would have blown the valve seats out and the needle can not shut off the gas now,
