How to Remove & Install a 90° Fuel Inlet

Step by Step!
Briggs and Stratton, Tecumseh, they both use carburetors with these plastic 90° fuel inlets.
Over time, the plastic gets brittle, cracks, and eventually leaks.
In today's video, I'll be showing you how to easily remove and install a new fuel inlet, using a pair of pliers and a 1/4" bolt extractor!
Common Fuel Inlets;
Briggs and Stratton: 692317
Tecumseh: 631807
This carburetor: 699103
Model of Craftsman Snowblower: 536.881501 or 536.881800

As ALWAYS, Quick, Precise and NO childish BS, if I was in his town I would GLADLY use him as my ONLY small engine mechanic ! If ya every think about coming to Florida ya can stay in my little travel trailer for free if I can get you to get some B&S flat heads up to par !

Yo yo from the 🇬🇧.. hope you and the old man are keeping Safe. Watching as I eat a takeaway

Cheers Mick! Yes doing good, steady work always coming in. Hope all is well over in the 🇬🇧 cheers from 🇨🇦

You SAVED the day AGAIN, just got a old Snapper Hydro tractor & that plastic was broke & leaking on the 15.5

[@mattsmith9270]

Great video. If you don't have extractor's but you have a vice you can clamp the broken end in a vice and just twist the carburetor right off.

[@judisinger3693]

Great video. Anwsered all my questions. Mine was purchased in '98 and has set 10+ years. Cleaned carb just to see if still ran and started right up. Didn't know connector wasn't suppose to turn so of course it leaked when reinstalled and tested. Need to order kit and replace seals now that I know it works and is worth saving. Newer ones not built as heavy as this one and hated to junk it! Thanks again!!!

[@kbssmallenginerepair2615]

Excellent video. Never thought of using a bolt biter. Thanks for sharing!

@@EliminatorPerformance I'm hoping to restore an Arions 18/28 rear engine mower in good shape ( it ran a few yes ago ) the part in video leaked and mower sat . My question is will that part be in a rebuild kit ? I'm guessing no . Always great videos !!

[@stevelee4653]

awesome,, my scotts mower was leaking in that area.. did not know how to fix it.. I now know.. thanks for the video.. big help!!!

Thanks for watching!

[@dj5752]

This is a great video. I really liked how you removed the fuel inlet. Thanks.

[@waynestefinashen239]

Very nice job on this video with information just about anyone will find helpful. Hard to believe that so many of these plastic fuel inlets crack, have also seen them melted right through from the muffler on riding mowers.

[@mikehill1376]

Thanks for this video as I need to do this on a 10hp Briggs . I had no clue about these. Keep up the great work !

[@rickbroerman9267]

Let me Guess!!!! Those wooden blocks in your vice are your Colored Wooden Blocks you played with when you were a child.. We still have a BUNCH of them... Oh by the way,,,, great video!!!!!

[@EliminatorPerformance]

No just some pieces of wood we painted green lol I guess plastic would work, anything soft really. Thanks for watching Rick!

[@kjell-richardlvdal373]

Useful info, good to know how to do it the correct way, without distroy the carburator body

[@jeffreygleaves2931]

Good info. I ordered a replacement carb for a Tecumseh but this inlet was facing the wrong way. I saw a video that said not to turn them. I did anyway and it worked but now at least I know why. Also the replacement had a longer outlet and hit the back wall of the mower. (China knockoff carb but I wasn't going to spend a lot of money on an old crappy mower) It wouldn't bolt down until I added a spacer to the intake manifold. Pretty sloppy rigging but it worked. I need to go back in and make sure its not leaking and maybe replace it with the old outlet off the original carb. At least I know how to do it right now instead of guessing.

[@ChubbyButcher]

very good video. I never knew that part could be replaced. thanks again EP FOR CONSTANTLY EDUCATION US.

[@judisinger3693]

Local shop wanted $35 to pull put connector after buying $40 worth of B&S parts for carb! Went to Homedepo and purchased set bolt extractor set with 5 sockets for $20! Hopefully tomorrow will be as easy as you made it look!😂

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Just take your time, they are plastic so don't rush it.

[@pavil58yt]

Good video. I was wondering if that fitting was swaged in place. Now I know.

[@samueljaramillo4221]

And as always, a great job done.👍🏻

[@EliminatorPerformance]

[@billkrause4585]

Great Tip! I alway wondered what to do to replace the Hose Connector, and how to order it. Thanks.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching!

[@gregorychalmers2466]

Thanks. You saved me a lot of time

[@michaelteti5148]

wow you made it look so easy. tried a 1/4" extractor and it broke the end off. gotta find a new way to get the rest out. should i use heat? will that melt the sealant thats in it? like your videos, short and to the point, get the job done till this one lol. not your fault hope i can get the rest out. take care!

[@EliminatorPerformance]

If they break off just use a tap and thread it in, vice grip and hammer it out

[@michaelteti5148]

Ran a tap in so we will see. TY

[@thewiseguy7100]

Thank you coudnt figure out what to use to remove the brass insert

[@thewiseguy7100]

10:32 I don’t have a vice like that in my home, what other tool can I use to fit it snug?

[@rustyrepairs2565]

Super helpful information. Thanks for sharing!

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching!

[@henrysmith8012]

Put slight tension on the vise and whack the back of the jaw with a hammer. Fitting will pop right in.

[@thewiseguy7100]

7:33 When I remove the needle, I noticed the rubber needle is torn apart, is it mandatory to put one on?

[@motoman5023]

New subscriber here great video i noticed you are from canada also where are you in the country?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Ontario!

[@robertobrien4044]

That looks almost to easy to do. A small engine guy up by me wouldn’t try and remove it. Was afraid of cracking the casing. Is there any chance of that cracking the carburetor?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

I've never broken a carb and we remove these all the time! Find someone else who's done it before.

[@robertobrien4044]

@@EliminatorPerformance another question , will using that seal all cause problems down the road if you have to install another one? Or would it come off in the same manner? I have the part ordered , I'm going to attempt the job myself. I'll let you know how it works out.

[@robertobrien4044]

I was a bit worried at first, thought it was just going to chew the brass piece apart. I used a manual impact to get it started and finished the rest with an air ratchet. Came out no issues.

[@mcarroll598]

Great tip man!!

[@leonvanderpol4645]

Great video.!!!

[@dgav4539]

Hi do you have a video on replacing a metal fuel inlet?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Basically the same, they will twist out. I use a bit of seal-all on the outside of the metal before pressing them in.

[@dgav4539]

Than you for your quick reply. Love love your videos. Your detailed explanations are always on point. Keep it up.

[@janetyeoman1544]

What detergent are you using in the ultrasonic cleaner? Looks purple.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

At the moment it was some left over INDO 701

[@waynestefinashen239]

We also use ZEP Orange and Simple Green but i have heard Dawn dishsoap works well

[@ejkoford5303]

Just ordered a fuel inlet (tecumseh 640363) and it is only the plastic. No metal insert. Am I missing some important variation on how to replace a fuel inlet?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

That's the wrong one

[@DKSE123]

Can they be replaced w/o removing carb ?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Hard to do but I'm sure it could be done

[@mgomez5606]

What is other port next to inlet?

[@mgomez5606]

Is your shop at home?

[@gregkraft7292]

Wouldn't it been much simpler if the made the entire inlet of brass?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

@@gregkraft7292 yes but of course they didn't lol

[@johncitizen3927]

easy tap with hammer works too...

[@REVNUMANEWBERN]

Can, but also risks cracking the plastic, I bought a pack of 2 so I may try that

[@mikev7661]

Can you just replace the plastic piece.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

No

[@jtiles6517]

why not just glue/seal the plastic back onto the metal insert without replacing the whole connector.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

It will leak

[@rywolf01]

For $10 or less you can slap a scamazon knock off carb and call it a day. No need for testing, replacing 90 degree inlet. Sell that customer a real snowblower.

[@nickluzzi8767]

Done who . Just joking he's good also . Thsnks

[@notsure9079]

found one at amazon for $7 but whole carb only $16 LOL buy the carb

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Yes but the issue is, this 699103 OEM carburetor is discontinued by the manufacturer Briggs and Stratton. Which means only new old stock exists (expensive) or the Chinese knockoffs that are Nikki style (too many issues). I'd rather clean and rebuild this OEM carb for around $25 and give my customer a guarantee!

[@notsure9079]

@@EliminatorPerformance I was speaking in general. that $16 carb just popped up on search for that 90* fitting, NO idea what it fits. I have been buying the china carbs for years & they have always worked perfect. I like replacing them, rather then rebuilding. I'm in CA you can't get carb cleaner solution to take even paint off a carb soaking for a week ! let alone clean the carb at all. even out rat killer just feeds the rats doesn't kill them.........
