How Throttle / Choke / Governor Linkage & Spring is Setup on Briggs One Piece Carburetor

[@randyhenderson892]

Hey there fnaguitarplayer9, I've searched high and low to figure out how my choke was supposed to be. I just watched this video, and figured it all out, also learned that the last one to work on my Murray 10/30 was either standing on his head, or something and had the throttle and choke rods back-asswards. Got her all back together, and voila, perfect!! Thank You sir for an awesome, educational, video.... MrRudog.

[@brianwelch8941]

Finally found a clear and well explained video on the choke linkage. My mid 80's 12hp B&S carb has been acting up (one of the very old versions with the manual choke lever, and no choke linkage). The replacement carb has the choke lever mounted on the rear side as you have shown. This video is/was exactly what I needed to find. (Even tho' I will probably end up rebuilding the original, at least I have a mower that runs again...) THANKS!

[@johnbowers6314]

What a great video! I had to take the carb off my garden tractor after it stood for a year and a half. The carb was full of water! The linkages both fell off and your video shows exactly how to fit them back! Thanks!

[@number9fan]

Just bought a 1980 Simplicity 4211 11hp. It has a new carb but only runs at full throttle. I was a little confused how the linkage worked and this video answered those questions. Thank you.

I was reading some of the comments below and I am in the same boat as many others, I messed with it for a long time until I watched your video and it was a five minute fix for the choke linkage. Thank you so much, God bless you.

Thank you for making this video. I'm working on the same setup and pulled the carburetor off to replace and or rebuild. I always take pictures prior. But missed the linkage at the other end. The choke linkage fell off and could not see how it goes back in. As well as that little thin spring wire you mentioned. I suspected it loops through the small hole, as mine was not connected.

[@charlesmccullick8008]

Hey, I checked out a few of your video's about these one piece carbs, love them, very helpful and got me through a lot. I do have one quick question. The oil breather hose that connects to the carburetor, while trying to get things set to run and my mower wouldn't run, it kind of looks like the might be/have been some oil getting in before the choke plate, is there something I should be looking at or what could the cause of that be?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

+Charles Mccullick Appreciate that glad to help out! Usually oil from the breather hose is from excessive blow by (past the rings on the piston) forcing oil past the rings or to much oil in it, or, they have what works similar to a PCV valve on the valve spring cover, its possibly for that to be dirty or sticking letting oil seep through. Thats really about the only causes for it. Or if its been run on a hillside or turned over it will cause it to seep through as well. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@ocrun6765]

Why does the governor choke at high throttle? The engine on my riding mower chokes out when I try to set it to the high throttle setting for mowing. This doesn't make sense to me.

[@ronaldgillis4403]

Hi, thanks for this video i was able to figure out the choke linkage. One issue i am having is engine won't start unless i remove air filter, i replaced this. When it runs and I engage the choke the engine will stall. Governor linkage is fine though the spring is broken. Would a clog breather cause stalling when choke is engaged?

My throttle plate adjustment has a lot of bounce. Yours was tight. My throttle has the spring and it is connected. If I manually move that assembly with the idle screw adjustment I get good full spectrum throttle. With the system it has one sweet spot ant either throttling up or down will cause it to stall out. Any suggestions? Great video.

I wanted to know explanations for MULTIPLE 3-5 magnets on outside of small engine Briggs flywheel . ( not underside 12 magnets) There is one that runs the Magneto coil. Does this have anything to do with AC type induction into ac magneto of North and south?

Yes it is some type of sequence of north south north or something like that to get the field to energize and collapse to generate a charge. and the magnets under the flywheel are just for the charging circuits. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@homesinwinnipeg]

I have a question I rebuilt a 19.5 hp briggs engine for my john deere lawn tractor. I've done this many times in the past but this time when it was all assembled and ready to start it didn't. All it does is back fire through the carburetor but won't start, just back fire. I have checked the values, they are good. I took the fly wheel off 3 times to double check the alignment but it was perfect.. Took the engine apart again to make sure the sprockets were all timed right and they were.. I have exhausted everything I know and gone over the entire engine over and over again and just don't understand what is wrong. I just ordered a carburetor solenoid for it thinking that was the problem but the more I think about it , I don't believe it is.. Any insight you may have on this?

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Check for spark, I've that happen alot of times, if the flywheel key is good, valves are set, if you know the carburetor is clean, then its usually a intermittent spark on the coil, not always but if you have a inline spark plug checker put that on it and see whats it doing, if its just parking now and then you need a new coil.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

The only adjustment on most is on the governor itself, and you usually don't have to mess with that, the governor spring can be adjusted by the bending the tab its connected to put more/less tension on it. If that is what your talking about. thanks for watching!!!

Very helpful video thank you I have exactly the same set up and that spring you said was broken is missing, how important is it? Cheers Bob

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Your welcome! The small one on the linkage? All it does it keep tension on the linkages so there is less play in it, which in extreme cases can cause a small lope or surge, but as long as its running good and not surging or anything it will be fine to run without. Thanks for Watching!!!

I think i saw you called it a oil hose but i don't see where you hook it up at does it hook to the back of the carburetor?

Its a oil breather hose, or crankcase vent hose (basically the same thing as a PCV valve on a car engine). It connects on the back of the carburetor right beside where the mounting bracket connects to the carb. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@foxybrown2]

Mine has a lot of oil spewing out of it, what would cause that? It did not do that at first. After letting the engine run for about 2mins it started spewing out oil.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

It could be a bad "pcv" valve, they don't call it that but it serves the purpose of one, or it could be from excessive blow by, if the engine smokes alot that is probably what it is, or it could be as simple as to much oil in it causing it.

I have the B&S 8HP Engine on my John Deere 108 Riding Mower that I am trying to Restore. But Missing the Carb and the Air Filter and the Housing, in this Video it's pretty much the SAME and what I need. Can You or Anyone here help me to get ALL the Parts so I can get my Engine running again? THANK YOU very much in advanced!

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

I need the model type and code off the engine just to make sure i get the right part #, because that should use the smaller one piece flow jet if i remember right. It looks identical but is just smaller. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@grpsmartgrpsmart5285]

Hi, THANK YOU for trying to help. But Finally I found the Part and the right Carb :))). YES, you are correct, its' the 1 Piece Flow Jet and your memory is correct and good as well :)) THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!! :)))))))))))

[@grpsmartgrpsmart5285]

Also, I like to ADD, this is VERY USEFUL and THANK YOU for teaching us what you know :))). Although I am pretty knowledgeable, but it's always something NEW to learn. When I install mine, I watched this Video a few times to see yours... Make the Installation a bit easier. THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!

Honestly, it seems the O-line is not very cohesive and blocking very well. The receivers are not being schemed open when they can't shake their defenders. Also back to the O-line we can't run the ball. USE THE LUEPKE!! GET A GOOD TIGHT END!!

[@douglaskford]

This video is exactly what I'm looking for. Any chance do you have a spare intake filtering system? I have the carb, but the filter is missing and I have tried to get another system from B&S and it fails. Here is the engine numbers Model 253707 Type 0206-01 code 86031911. This is an old B&S I/C Cast Iron Bore 11 HP Vertical shaft. I think I have everything else including the linkages and throttle bracket. Please let me know if you have something. I'm in Oak Hill FL.....
