How to Replace a Fuel Line on Tecumseh 5 5hp Snow blower ~ Craftsman - MTD and Others

[@rcote1234]

Helpful sir. Thank you!

[@TheNovaJohn]

Thanks Rob!

I have the yard machines version of the snowblower. Originally mine didn't have the extended dipstick tube. It was the short dipstick with the tiny threaded cap. I wonder if Craftsman just ordered the engine that way. I installed the extended dipstick tube that I borrowed from a 5 horse Tecumseh that was on a Toro 521.

Nice,,, yea I'm not sure,,,,even now some of the newer briggs do this.. I think its a cost savings,,,cheeping out kinda things if ya ask me...

Just use Tecumbseh hose

I use a 1/4 in Bolt in between both gas lines and I never have a problem pushing it through

This time it got caught up on that PCV cover.

[@thegreener196]

can you do a video on adjusting the governor on a Tecumseh 5hp Snow blower?

[@TheNovaJohn]

I have two craftsman/tecumseh machines in house waiting for a full service!! I can add that into the rotation! Great Idea!!! Thanx!!

Great video , I like that you show what we all struggle with . A lot of people do not know that there is much to maintain . Rust is the biggest fight when it come to snow blowers .

[@TheNovaJohn]

The fight continues!! LOL,,, Thanks for watching

Normally the head bolts by the muffler are always loose and need re torque, due to heat and cooling more than the others

[@waynestefinashen239]

Arch just to be clear the bolt i use has a thread outside diameter of 3/8" since the inside diameter of the fuel line is 1/4" the hex head part of the bolt is 5/16" just in case anyone thinks the threads are 5/16" outside diameter. Additionally if it is a Techumseh the proper fuel line is 1/32" smaller on OD than the B&S fuel line and it makes a big difference on getting it through without a struggle. Good video and thanks for the shout out. There are a few others i have seen do this and i think donyboy73 may have been the first.

I have a question @ 5:59. As the carburetor is being removed the primer line and fuel line are closest to us but on the other side of where the carburetor was mounted there's a short black line. Would someone please tell me what that line is for? TIA

[@TheNovaJohn]

On this carb, the primer line wraps around the front of the bowl and connects on the left of the carb..Just two lines!

[@Josh-km9vc]

The breather tube
