"Drawing a vacuum on the fuel line" priceless! Thanks for showing us how it's done in the real world. Carburetors have always baffled me. I had to put the old carb back on after trying 2 worthless aftermarket cheap Chinese carbs. . I just had to replace the solenoid which worked fine even though it was off of the Chinese carb. . I think it's high time we bring back all manufacturing to the U.S. !!!!

[@garyalensr]

So true, I ordered a cheap Chinese carb and when I installed it, it ran but had a miss and pop to it. So I just swapped the internals of the new carb and put them in my factory carb. It worked awesome. I don't understand why it was having issues with the new carb? But in the end with the new parts swapped it runs like new.

[@Chickanic]

Great video! Ron and I are going to Dallas for a weekend in Feb.! Let's meet up!

[@garyalensr]

Great video MM1, I really enjoy your longer videos. When you do ones like this one there more in detail and educational. Thank you good Sir for all the hard work you do to show us how to fix our small engines. I can't speak for everyone... Bit I know you've saved me a bunch of money frome watching your channel.

[@travismauldin7194]

It gets old with people (keyboard mechanics) jumping on my back about using starting fluid... claiming i'm going to blow the engine up etc. I always send them the link to the Project Farm video where he ran a briggs quantum for like 30 minutes on pure starting fluid... Great video. keep it up.

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

OMG I almost fell out of my chair laughing !!! The suck and blow..... 🤣😂🤣

[@lisab3396]

OK boys an girls, lesson today is "suck an blow" your carburetor. 😁 OK I admit that I haven't done that before and looks like a fine demonstration for confirmation that the bowl seal, float and jets are working. Now then you heard it right, She has a good idle and She's got good wide open throttle and she's good to go! To me, She sounds sweet and ready to chop anything that gets in Her way. 👍 Keep that thought in your mind boys. 😆

[@rickeysmith3774]

I use a fuel shutoff valve for any storage and run engine till it dies. Works well for me so far.

[@garyalensr]

Same, I always run Trufuel in my rider and push mower and trimmer. I never use ethenol gas. But I still use a shut off and run till it shuts off. Better to be safe than sorry in my opinion

[@duaneolson3998]

Usually I find those rubber o rings & gaskets are all swollen and distorted from the ethonal in the gas. Those carbs will always leak and no run right. You lucked out on that repair Mower Medic.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

No luck to it.

[@don7406]

Thanks for the info on the fuel shut off solenoid.

[@tjiacab3272]

Thanks - i own a 2009 like this with 4 wheel steering. It has 780 hours now and has been shutting down on me after about 40 minutes, then no start until it cools down some. I may start by replacing the anti back fire solenoid. Then cleaning the carb like this video. My engine is a 22hp kawasaki. Love this mower, time to get it to run for longer time frame. Could be a coil or switch too, not sure. Might take to a repair shop to avoid agony and paying for parts i dont need on my ideas.

[@jameshedrick6839]

It's most likely a bad ignition coil or coils. Had the same problem with a push mower that did that replaced the coil and never had any starting issues when the engine is hot

[@stevemoore8599]

Make sure your fuel line isn’t plugged up. Also check your tank for dirt and debris.

[@butler386]

Thanks for a great job of fixing that carburetor. Great analysis as well. Thanks for the video.

[@adnacraigo6590]

Vreery logical approach to the problem. I guess you have encountered the same problems a thousand times.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Yessir. You learn the tricks of the trade

[@rickthelian2215]

Great Job and tutorial Jeremy. Battery, Solenoid, carburettor clean and labour customer should be happy.,

[@Jay73.69]

Starting fluid or whatever is not going to hurt a thing. Remember It's LAWN TRACTOR not a Spaceshuttle! Great job Mower one! 👍🇱🇷

[@genesloan3175]

A perfect video for me... I have a 24YT48 Husqvarna same carb, except mine has the auto choke...this was a well detailed take apart....I appreciate the camera work..

[@Turningwrenches85]

Sometimes like you said u have to replace those carbs because they are finicky when cleaned but this one worked out great.

[@vernonbruce3722]

Have never seen a Niki carburetor. Thank you for showing us.

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Wow they are on everything nowadays

[@vernonbruce3722]

@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 I usually work on older push mowers. I'm a tinkerer for the fun of it. I don't work at or run a business.

[@nashguy207]

Great video Jeremy. There needs to be more videos about these Nikki Carburetors!

[@andrewjohnston6230]

Thanks for the information about sorting this issue out

Dude you are a God. I aspire to be just a fraction of how good you are with motors

First time I have ever seen the proper use and need of a crows foot tool. Now, of course, I have to buy a set from Tekton…..

[@motoman5023]

I love when they do that dump fresh fuel on top of very old fuel.

[@jameshedrick6839]

I've seen where some run straight gas in their chainsaw and burn up the top end and then put mixed fuel in it and try to get it fixed under warranty

[@TheIronDuke502]

One thing that I noticed was that when you released the old gas from the carburetor was that the gas was green like it had algae. To be quite honest, I never had the displeasure of working on any of the Nikki Carburetors. Looks like mostly plastic to me The X330 lives again!!!

[@SuperPaulbunyan]

That’s a nice mower. Thanks for the info.

[@JJLandscaping]

Another awsome educational video

[@konstantinusstoyanov9749]

Knowledge , you are fun to watch

[@jameshedrick6839]

I've replaced so many of those nikki carburetors because like you said sometimes cleaning them doesn't work. And surprisingly when i bought my generator a few years ago it sat with old gas in it and cleaning it in my ultrasonic cleaner got it up and running like new again then i just went and gave it a tune up

[@watermanone7567]

I get lots of those Nikki carbs in my shop and hate them. The older ones don't even clean good in my ultra sonic cleaner. I heard that Walbro might make a replacement but have not seen one yet??? Great video, more bad ethanol gas. Do you know of a replacement for the Nikke carbs? Thanks much.

[@ClipperzPM]

The man! Enjoyed the bed time video. Thanks man

[@logantheobald9485]

Awesome video

[@Jamwcjconn]

Nice video Jeremy

[@jamesnelson6565]

I subscribed to your channel per the chickanic ,she told us about you and what you've done for her ,so im subscribed liked and also went to your parts store

Very thorough, great video

Really enjoyed this one brother

[@MrRmh3481]

Always the best. Good Job MM1

[@jarriola5893]

This is amazing. Thank you so much. How much would a job like this run? Just curious? Maybe a ballpark price would be helpful. Thanks.

[@brianking1138]

Great video! I usually just replace these carburetors but now I might try cleaning one.

[@TheTrailblazer1974]

Is your work area fenced inn? I like the idea

You're awsome, dude.

Nothing else runs like a John Deere when you take care of this machine 😎

Get to feeling better Jeremy.
