[@PoorThor24]

A lot of people complaining in the comments but I learned more from this video than any other I've seen.

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

[@connectingdots3574]

Finally after around 30 videos that sucked and bounced all around topics, like a rubber ball, i found what i needed. Thank you.

[@lmsmallenginerepair4471]

Glad I was able to help!

[@elizabethpowell9986]

Thanks for the video! Can you show where the throttle linkage and spring thing connects on the left side?

[@elizabethpowell9986]

Sorry, I mean choke linkage

Hi! Do you know if the carburetor is located in the same spot for a Z530? And is there a way to clean it without removing all parts? If you dont mind, please explain to me as simple as possible, thank you!!

[@lmsmallenginerepair4471]

all b/s engines carbs are in the same place

[@Drspeiser]

You say you boiled the carburetor? Like on the missus' range top in her pot?

[@lmsmallenginerepair4471]

like putting it in carb cleaner or a ultrasonic machine

[@Drspeiser]

@lmsmallenginerepair4471 Oh gotcha, sorry, I'm a bit slow 😆 Thank you!

My mower is still struggling under load. I replaced the fuel filter, air filter, oil and oil filter, and spark plugs late last fall. Had the fuel solenoid replaced early spring. Today I replaced the carb. The mower no longer stalls and konks out, but feels extremely weak, especially with blades engaged. Any ideas? Should I replace the fuel pump? Thanks,

[@lmsmallenginerepair4471]

is it running on both cylinders

[@conejiuxable]

Thank you! For the video

[@lmsmallenginerepair4471]

My pleasure!

[@topp51]

What bit do you use to remove the manifold from the carb? I think you said a torx? Thanks,

[@lmsmallenginerepair4471]

5/16

[@DIYVariety]

Good job

[@ExpeditionOverlanding]

What's the best way to drain the fuel out of these things?

[@Rob-Heaston]

Take the fuel line off before the filter and blow compressed air in the tank with rags around the tube to seal it.

[@lmsmallenginerepair4471]

a eletric or vacum pump

[@jamesmcqueen6038]

What kind of engine was on that Zero turn Z235 mower? Is the Z530M a better mower?

[@lmsmallenginerepair4471]

hi it is a 40ci. briggs stratton twin the z530 is a bigger mower

[@stevemcdonald6445]

Mine quits at about half a tank of fuel? Just wondering if there’s a fuel pickup in the tank or anyone with knowledge before I start tearing into it. Thanks

[@lmsmallenginerepair4471]

somtimes they have the fuel pickup at the top of the tank

[@Mike_713]

Wdym as boiling like just water and you put it in

[@lmsmallenginerepair4471]

i put the carb in a ultra-sonic cleaner

[@TenaTrotter]

Need to stay in front of camera...can't see half of what you did.

[@Mike_713]

[@jaceski5806]

I jad high hopes for this video. If you put the plastic piece in the bowl it will hold it in place…

[@jaceski5806]
