How does a Carburetor Work?

Step by Step Explanation!
Over the years, I've done quite a few videos on how to clean a carburetor. However, I've never done a video explaining how a carburetor actually works!

Oh man, you should be a professor in a college!

[@eugenespakowski8767]

This is an excellent video. Lot’s of information, clear camera work, very good explanations, well organized. Good survey information on lawn mower type carburetors. Well done.

[@kailarsen6148]

I think almost every video maker on YT could take a lesson from you. You are always clear, concise, and to the point...no wasted words...no distracting background music or sound effects. You always seem to anticipate questions & include info that viewers wouldn't even know enough to ask. Man, I really respect & admire your knowledge and the straight forward way you share it with the world! THANK YOU!

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching!

[@haroldhibner6890]

Dude you deserve an Academy award for this video. Every single aspect that makes up this video is perfectly done. I'm SOOOOO glad I found it. You are truly a professional THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Wow! Your knowledge and communication skills are off the hook! This is the gold standard of how to make a educational video. I learned so much from you and I've reviewed dozens of videos over the past three days. Awesome job!

[@coryprice149]

I'm 56 and have been rebuilding carbs my whole life...and this explanation is, by far, the best one I've read. Great job!!

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching!

[@donaldpaterson5827]

Good video. I’ll have to watch it a couple of times though. Maybe remove my reluctance to tamper with the carb from my 5hp, 4 stroke, Mariner Outboard which is currently difficult to start and quickly soots up the spark plug?😊

[@briandyche]

Not sure how this doesn't have more views, this is the best explanation of a carb that I could find, thanks for the thorough info.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for the kind words, and for watching!

[@HalGore]

The 1st carb I ever worked on was about 10 years ago and it was so easy. (5HP outboard). Great review video.

[@alext8828]

@@HalGore I had one of those. So great to be able to carry in over my shoulder. Great little motor. Never failed us.

[@joelarcher9022]

I totally agree. Very good explanation.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks Joel!

[@BaldurKhr]

This is not only an updated carburetor type, but the way you explain it's so professional and easy to grasp. Many THANKS!

[@WatchingDemocracyDie]

I had to listen and watch through SOOOO many videos to get to this one with the most efficient, most knowledgeable small engine carb tutorial. Thank you, Mr. Eliminator! You've eliminated the long winded time wasters and you should be at the top of search results.

[@johnl3286]

I don’t work on engines. I’m a tech guy. Give me a laptop and let me code, and I’m set. I cleaned my carburetor on my snow blower to get it running. But then wanted to learn more about them. Found this video. Damn my brotha is super detailed and doesn’t seem to miss a beat when he’s explaining things. Thanks for the knowledge!

[@gwaynewilcox2702]

My father would be proud of you as an Educator in the 60's

[@stillcrass]

Very helpful. I'm a college teacher who likes to do practical stuff but never learned about engines. It's great to learn what something does and why before learning how to actually fix it. You seem like a great teacher. Thanks.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Everyone learns from someone else's experiences! Knowledge is great like that, shared and occasionally improved upon. I went to college for Automotive and Small Engine Repair, but have always had an interest in this stuff. Thanks for watching!

[@venkiperth]

After watching this video my lawnmower not going to scrap …easy explanation anyone can understand ..best of one in KZbin 👍👍🙏

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@venkiperth]

I starts to strip carbureted now bro …appreciated 👍

[@jamesandrew1117]

I rarely watch a 23 minute video. But this video is a non-stop info download. Excellent. After watching this video I gathered some more information to continue tinkering. Appreciate the rapid fire constant teaching throughout.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching!

[@ScottsAwatchin]

I maybe sort of knew before how this worked, but not with this level of clarity. Recently, I replaced a worn out torn up primer bulb on my Toro snowblower. When I took it all apart to replace the little rubber piece, I found that the whole tube had come off the carb. (And I wondered why it had been so challenging to start.) It's great to have more clarity now on exactly how this part works. Really clear explanations with appropriate shots of the parts you're talking about.

[@robertdouglas2177]

Great vid. Four years ago! that's when I was looking for this, I was looking for this info. No more buying carbs.

[@mildside322]

My mom had a mower that would fill with gas and oil, would start and blow smoke, then die. This absolutely showed me what the hell was going on. I kept the mower and will buy a new carb, but this is hands down, the best carb video on the net. Wish I would have searched this before I bought her a new $1200 mower.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for the kind words, too bad you didn't find me sooner. Good luck with the carb and Thanks for watching!

[@MACLADILLY]

Great! I watched lots of KZbin videos this evening and finally found yours which explains perfectly how these Honda gx carbs work. Thanks 👍

[@firstordercommandergames2542]

Your lesson is better than a bona fide instructor. The delivery, explanations and all around presentation is spot on. Thanks for the upload

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching!

[@mikeb359]

I love when people film demonstrations as they are suppose to be filmed. Great demonstration! Perfect explanation - Perfect audio and pointing to areas in mention. Awesome video! Most videos seem to consist of a microphone placed across the room so you can't hear anything. Then when you do hear something,its not useful. Video is usually of someone constantly moving the camera as it adjusts to focus. Perfect job! Thank you.

[@firkopersson]

Very well explained! Came here after watchinh smarter everyday's video with the see-through carb, and I think you filled in most if not all the blanks :)

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Glad it was helpful!

I actually came here accidentally while searching for practical principle behind Venturi and Bernoulli's Principle. Saw it in Practical and i definitely think this helps me in a more intuitive way than to cram it all up. Thanks for Posting Quality Content. Respect

[@robertredditt7973]

Just wanted to thank you for this video. Last winter I put off, then forgot to get my generator ready for summer storage. A few days ago I knew I had a problem when I took the gas cap off and it had a smell of varnish. Being an electrician I do not know a lot about how to repair and fix a gas engine. Watched several videos on how to clean and repair carburetors. They did not help a lot. Your video on how a carburetor actually operates and works. once I understood how they work I could see what I needed to do. Most of the videos on here do not go into enough detail on wow to repair a carburetor. Now I know where to come if I have any generator problems. Again thank you.

[@warnersmith3987]

@@EliminatorPerformance Have a question: I just cleaned two Honda pressure Washer carbs. A GX 160 and 200. Both had no ring in the top part of the Pilot/idle jet but seem to run fine when tested. I looked at rebuild kits and there seems to be only one O ring for it shown. Is this an issue. Also I found the 160 had a spring washer in the shut off valve lever and the 200 did not. Thanks for any advice.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Anything to seal them, sometimes they have 1, most Kohler's with same carbs have 2. No worries! And spring washer gives resistance on the left right movement of the shut-off valve. It's so it doesn't rattle and close from vibrations

[@Adam-118]

Got a generator that bogs out, finally backfired one day and never started again. I don't know anything about these things so you have really opened up my eyes. 30 minutes ago I didn't know what a carburetor was, now I think I understand why my generator has been so rompy. I'll be reverse engineering the damn thing until I learn what does what and why it don't do what it should. Thanks man

[@jamesj1523]

This is the best explanation I have ever seen. I removed the bowel on my generator tonight and thought I was in deep crap. After watching this I cleaned the needle and bowl tube, replaced the bowel and the needle. Generator is back running again. THANK YOU SIR!
