Nice one Terry, another happy customer👍

[@wtbm123]

They will be able to mow again , But been so hot and dry the grass is not growing much here now.

I find it hit or miss with cleaning these carburetors. Sometimes it's hit or miss replacing them with aftermarket carburetors too. You nailed this one Terry! Good job for sure.

[@wtbm123]

Yes if corroded up in one of the passages it is sometimes not possible to just clean.

[@jefftovani5535]

Great job my friend!! You seem to have slot of knowledge with those pesky little carbs!!! Thanks for taking us along!!

[@wtbm123]

Thank you

[@ricklane8342]

Nice work Terry perfect video

[@wtbm123]

Thanks 👍

[@RustyGlovebox]

Nice work getting the Husqvarna back going and mowing. That track in the carb from dirty fuel can be a problem. That new fuel can be a real head ache for sure

[@wtbm123]

Yea years ago the fuel may dry and get hard in side but it never ate metal like it does now.

[@RooneysSears01]

Great video Terry! It’s crazy that just alittle bit of that gunk in there makes a world of difference on how they run lol

[@wtbm123]

Yea just one piece of dirt in the wrong place .

[@GregsGarage]

Good fix! These fixed jet - low emission carbs seem harder to fiddle with.

[@wtbm123]

Seems they do not want people to be able to fix their own stuf anymore.

[@ManicMechanic007]

Don't be a Hercules - you got that right.

[@wtbm123]

Thanks for stoppin in , Yea i have overtightened a few things in my life .

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

First guess, fuel cap vent is plugged up maybe. I’d say you’re right about stabilizers. I had a clear bottle of stabilizer on the bench for a year or so. Looked at it one day. It sure didn’t look to good. Seemed to be all jelled up. She sounds good. 👍🏻

[@wtbm123]

That is what it does in fuel too. Fuel is just not what it used to be . Thanks for stopping in

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

I have to have lots of light no matter what I am working on. I remember being able to work in dim light back in the day.

[@wtbm123]

No glasses no light , no magnifying glass . The things we took for granted .

[@txsviking]

I spend a lot on Sta-Bil and still have to clean the carbs from time to time.

[@wtbm123]

Yea i am not sure how well if any the stablizers work.

[@buzzsah]

Bingo, it started anyway, I had something close. I was water in the bowl, and gas. LOL, I am going for cataract surgery 07-24th. It sucks trying to see and read stuff. I run high octain 91, and use 2cyc in all my yard gas or Marvel Mystery oil.

[@wtbm123]

Hope all goes well with surgery

[@robertmailhos8159]

Dead battery Plus I think it's got that Nikki carburetor unless it is a Kohler engine not a Briggs and Stratton engine which is equiped with the Nikki carburetor

[@wtbm123]

Yes some of the briggs has the niki carb , this is a kohler.

[@robertmailhos8159]

@@wtbm123 glad you got it running again Kohler engines might not be using the Nikki carburetor unless they have decided to do that @wtbm123
