John Deere Lawn Tractor Briggs and Stratton Aftermarket Carburetor review install LA115

[@erich3570]

Great video, simple and to the point. So many of these folks doing tractor repair videos on KZbin think they’re comics and it’s painful to watch.😂 while others seem to just do it for therapy and talk about all the wood they have to split and everything else going on in their life. Also painful to watch.😂

Thank you for the feedback!

[@rejmonwilson]

great video. I used super unleaded in all my small engine tractor to snowblower.

Thanks for the feedback!

[@jyench1]

Followed you instructions, all is fine except same throttle control problem as you had at end of video. Did you ever figure out what problem was?

[@shumanatorsgarage8921]

Hi, glad it's working for you. Honestly, I have not spent the time to figure that out yet, but the thing runs great at the RPM it's running at and I have been cutting grass and towing the lawn trailer ever since, so I just left it alone. I will look at it one of these days.

[@TheOldKid]

Possibly your air/fuel ratio. Adjust the air down half turn

[@donny-ho1bm]

Yea my carby flooded out..turned it upside down an blew into the fuel entry..wouldnt hold mouth pressure..blowing into it..turfed it out bought a new carby off ebay..an the starter motor wouldn't turn to crank it over..it would spin the motor when i took out the spark plug...turfed it out ..bought a new one..good ol ebay..motor goes like a charmer..smooth as ..good as gold..only thing i hate about john deere ride on..the paint from factory dosnt stick to the frame..rust out..piece of crap..now to give it a bit of loving..paint job coming up..

Hi That’s the model number ? For the new one you please it with and who did your punch it from on Amazon? Allan p

[@williamsmith9287]

Had the same problem with a Craftsman snowblower. The carb was old and you just kept breaking off screws trying to rebuild it. Ordered a replacement carb from Amazon ( 2 day turn around time) and in an hour was blowing snow. Going to order one for my John Deere Briggs and Stratton 44 next week. In a half an hour I'll be mowing grass. I'm done trying to find parts to rebuild old carbs. The one for the snowblower was like $25.00 and the one for the John Deere is about $35.00. Must be a 1000 videos on how to change them out on KZbin...just got to look.

[@shumanatorsgarage8921]

Well thanks for watching mine and for the feedback! Still working great! Havnt touched it since the install

[@tomd2442]

Did you ever figure out why throttle speed wouldn’t change. I have same exact issue starts right up but cant speed up or slow up rpm

[@jessebrown6416]

I’m having the same problem

[@shumanatorsgarage8921]

No I honestly havent played with that yet. Things been running good and at a good enough speed that I just left well enough alone. It does adjust a little with the throttle lever, just doesnt go as high rpm as could. I have heard that the mixture screws can affect it. Still starts right up and runs great though. I use stabilizer in all my fuel now too.

[@robertogonzalez2027]

Hi, can u let me know why d throttle was not working because I'm having d same problem whenI changed carburetor, idle to high throttle not working

[@shumanatorsgarage8921]

I dont have the answer for you. From what I have heard, those mixture screws have an impact on that. Be sure your linkages and springs are correct and not binding up on anything. I never ended up doing any additional adjustment on mine and has been running great ever since! I have a little speed adjustment with throttle lever, been good enough.

[@mnick3905]

Looks like there may be some Idling and rpm issues?Read the orifice sizes can be a problem with aftermarkets which I am trying to avoid

[@PeterKontor]

Did you figure out what cause rpm not to change ?

[@shumanatorsgarage8921]

No I never messed with it. Runs good though, been using it as is ever since.

[@shakeman9961]

Looks like you forgot to attach the throttle linkage. I can see when you are moving the throttle, the linkage is doing nothing. I'm sure you have since figured this out as this video was made 4 years ago. Thank you for the vidoe.

[@shumanatorsgarage8921]

Thanks, actually never did anything else with it. Still running great to this day though!

[@rgarcia5353]

Great video. Do you have a video on how to remove the LA115 carb? I’ve done a few small engine and I’m ready to move up. My JD has been parked for a “while” and it cranks but doesn’t run. Got a replacement fuel pump, filter and carb kit from JD. thanks!

[@shumanatorsgarage8921]

Thanks! No I did not do a video on the removal.

[@55chevytruck]

had the same problem. Could buy a rebuild kit for 8 bucks on ebay or a new one for 15. just order the new one and save a lot of trouble.

[@shumanatorsgarage8921]

Exactly! Thanks for the feedback.

[@Grim0954]

The plastic "spring tool" and "cable clamp" are for installing a choke set-up. Seriously... and I'm looking for folks that have actually used them. NEXT! lol

[@riverunner9978]

Just got this and installed and mower won’t rpm up

[@daniel.gilliss6030]

Whoever at the factory tighten those bowl screws need to be told it's inch lbs not foot lbs!! I gave up after almost stripping the slots and bought a new carb.

[@thedeadsquirrelnetworkpodc1883]

The one that goes from the Throttle to the Carb. Is the one giving me hell.. it won't let me send a picture... of course cause that'd be too easy.. ive wasted my whole labor day weekend battling this pos..

[@thedeadsquirrelnetworkpodc1883]

Man how in the hell do you put these stupid wires back on the Carb?? I can't see them clearly in your video..

[@jaceski5806]

How long is it gonna take people to realize stuff from amazin is chinese garbage not worth buying!
