How To clean the carburetor on a Toro 22198 with Kawasaki FJ180V engine

In this video I show the process of removal, disassembly, cleaning, and re-assembly of the carburetor on a Toro 22198 with a Kawasaki FJ180V engine.
Successfully prevent fuel related carburetor damage by using SeaFoam in fuel, year round. It is the only product that works.

Thanks for this video ! I had the 2 linkages on the carb swapped and it ran very rich but good enough to cut, very easy to do for a homeowner that likes likes to tinker...... thanks man!

Hey there Todd, thanks for posting this video. It is certainly very informative and useful for making "DIY" repairs. Since you make your own repairs, do you know if a Toro Shop Repair Manual is available for the Toro# 22297 & the 22298? I have searched the internet but have not found one yet.

[@austinado16]

Thanks for watching! I don't know if there's a manual available for them.

I got this one the problem is that it runs on full choke if you drop the idle she dies is there an adjustment for the carb

[@austinado16]

You're experiencing the symptom of a clogged carburetor. This video shows how to handle that.

[@rbljackson]

do you have a part number for those air cleaners? I need those. So, here is my question....my exmark 30 with same engine is pouring gas into the cylinder and hydro locking. Also seeing the gas in the air intake. Is that a needle valve float bowl issue? I found your channel becaouse Im looking into the problem. Thanks!

[@austinado16]

11029-0049 gets you the filter with the thick ring around the top. And yes, you have a float needle that's leaking fuel into the carburetor and gravity feeding the fuel tank, right into the cylinder. My suggestion is to disassemble and clean the carburetor, and test the float needle after cleaning, and also to use our fuel shut-off valve if equipped. If the exmark doesn't come with the fuel shut-off, purchase and install one and consider installing a clear inline fuel filter if you don't have one. Moving forward, I'd recommend treating your fuel year round, with SeaFoam, otherwise the issue will just re-appear in a few months, if not sooner. Thanks for watching!
