I spray Kroil oil on the emulsion tube, let it sit for a few minutes and they usually pop right out.

Right, its just stuck from varnish, you need to dissolve that varnish.

[@irakozak1]

I used to manufacture tools one of the items was a plastic magnetic ring that went around a screwdriver. I called it a Stayzon®️ that would be very helpful when inserting a screw into the carburetor. You can also get larger ones that will work with sockets or I’ve even used them when drilling steel to collect metal shavings. I enjoy your videos!

[@matthewjablonski6139]

Certainly the art of carburetor rebuilding is slowly dying and being replaced by cheap foreign knock-off replacement parts. Nice to see this video being thorough. While foreign components may work fine, those foreign parts are typically not built to the same tolerances as the OEM parts and usually do not last very long. I have been rebuilding carburetors for 55 years since I was 12 years old (just for fun) so I can share a few thoughts. First there is no single correct way to do a rebuild. Use whatever tools you may think you need keeping in mind that nothing should be unreasonably forced. Soaking a carb body in mineral spirits or kerosene will help loosen gunk build up in older seldom used carburetors. Compressed air is a great way to clear orifices in the main valve and carb body, but be careful not to blowout a seat that you are not replacing. Sometimes a rebuild will seem too simple and you might second guess if you did it correctly. Trust yourself and your work. Carburetors are meant to be repaired fairly easily. The engineering is built into the designs. All you are doing is a refresh. Wear eye protection especially when using chemicals, and wear gloves especially if you have allergies, skin conditions, etc. If you put a good hand lotion on before you work it will help your hands clean up afterwards and protect your skin a bit better. Enjoy the time and the dying art. Its rewarding.

[@irocitZ]

Thanks for your input, besides small engine stuff hopefully I'll always have at least one vehicle with a carburetor. If I'm lucky maybe more than one.

[@jimkoca]

Outstanding video. The detailed commentary and close-up video was especially helpful for me to reassemble my neighbor's snow blower that I messed up by removing the bowl to drain old gas when the float pin fell out. I then lost the needle valve & spring also. Using your video I purchased the kit from a local small engine repair shop and "carefully" replaced the missing parts and put it back together. Thank You for making a video with enough details to show and explain how things (should) work.

I have a 1984 Sears lawn mower that I refuse to let die. That Tecumseh is an amazing engine and just keeps working. Much larger oil capacity, gas capacity and power compared to the Sears Honda I bought to replace it (but only used for a couple of weeks because its under powered). The mower base is mainly made out of pop rivets and sheet metal at this point, but it still does the job. Had fuel delivery issue and took carb apart (first time in 40 years). I was cleaning it with compressed air and blew the needle seat somewhere in my shop so the job grew from a quick clean to a carb rebuild. Although needle/seat/gasket kits are cheap online ( you can get multiple kits for under $20 - no idea if they are any good), I just went to my local supplier and got one for $10 CAD. Thanks for the guidance. Much appreciated - especially the orientation of the seat. I just reassembled it this afternoon, flushed the tank out and that engine started right up and purrs better than it has in the 24 years since I inherited it from the previous house owner.

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Thank you! I agree the older engines are better. If you can get non ethanol fuel that is the key in keeping the carburetors in good condition after rebuilding. Look at Aspen fuel online and read up on it. It is a great product.

[@LWhaples]

Thank you for this great tour! It pointed out a couple mistakes I made rebuilding one that was almost the exact same. Mine has a metal float and an idle needle. Was having a leak which seems to be fixed but I'm still having an issue where it seems to drink up the gas in the bowl and kill the engine faster than new fuel is delivered. Even though it flows fine with the bowl off and the float dangling. I might need to play with the float adjustment some more. We'll see if a ROP shop carb does any better.

Well... The snowblower started up just fine, ran for a while, then started surging. An idle screw out of whack?? Back to the drawing board.

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

The surging is a blocked port. You will need to rebuild it again. I would also check the fuel tank for debris. If it doesn’t work the next cleaning, you will need to replace it. Make sure your you also have fresh gas in the tank.

If it is a non adjustable carburetor? Sometimes it may take 5 to ten minutes if run time to start running good. The carburetor needs to warm up and that is difficult to due when it’s freezing outside.

Glad to hear! You may want to look into buying Aspen4 fuel if you can get it. It will keep you from having gas going bad and having to rebuild your carburetor. Check it out online and read up on it. It’s not for everybody but it is 92 octane no ethanol very clean burning, and will help with easier starts and you’ll be able to store in your machine for up to two years. You must only use this by itself and do not mix with other gas. I cannot recommend this fuel enough. Thanks for watching my video. Please share my channel with your friends to help it grow!

When you prime the carburetor, it is designed to be pumped up into the throat of the carburetor. If you over prime it, it will flow out of the front of the carburetor and seam like it is leaking. It may just be over primed.

Does a plastic float sit at a different level than an old metal float? Does the tool work for both to adjust the height.

If the plastic float is a Tecumseh part, then yes the tool works the same and the float is adjustable.

Do you have a similar video for an adjustable tecumseh carburator?

Yeppers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqGWla2LZqyXjqs. It is also at the bottom of the description. I think I will move it up so more can see it.

I was given a snow blower with Tecumseh 5.5hp and it's missing the bottom bolt so how do I know if is adjustable

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

The adjustable carburetors have the low speed jet on the side that is adjustable and the bottom bowl nut is adjustable. The non-adjustable carburetors have a brass jet that screws into the side of the carburetor and it’s non-adjustable and the bottom nut is non-adjustable. You should be able to figure it out by the side jet if it’s fixed, it’s a non adjustable carburetor and if it screws in an out it’s an adjustable carburetor.

Hi, thanks, your video helped a lot! I'm now restoring a lawn mower with almost the same carburetor (143.955500 - Craftsman 5.5hp Eager-1). Now I have a problem that after the engine stops, gasoline starts to flow from the carburetor primer! Can you please tell me what could be the problem?🙏🙏🙏

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

The needle and seat are not sealing properly. You will need to double check the needle and seat. If you have a brass float? Shake it and make sure there is no fuel inside it if there is replace it if you have a plastic float also, shake it to make sure there is no fuel in it.

​@@JohnsonsSmallEnginesI have a brass float. I think maybe I attached the needle incorrectly. Tomorrow I will disassemble the carburetor and reassemble, thanks for the answer!

​@@JohnsonsSmallEnginesI have 1 more question. In your video at 10:30 there is a golden spot (the size of a coin) in the carburetor on the left side. I don't quite understand what it is. Because it's rusted in my carburetor, does this somehow affect the operation of the carburetor?

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

There is a Welch plug and I don’t replace them unless needed. If it’s really really bad, you should probably replace it ultimately, if you could put the carburetor in an ultrasonic cleaner, that would be the best way to clean it. I do not believe unless it’s extremely rusty that it will have an effect on the carburetor running. I do not know what your carburetor it looks like, so this is just an educated guess.

[@-a_s_t_a_r-]

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines There is a small layer of rust on top and that's it. I think maybe I can clean it with sandpaper?

[@68pishta68]

My old craftsman carb was full of jello! Must have gotten water in the crap E15 we got out here. Float seized up, rusty needle had to be pried out. Jet was completely clogged, didnt even see that small jet on top? Float was different, it didn't have that metal needle hook, only cast plastic rail the needle slid into. Then I dropped the needle into the starter rotor while trying to install it mounted to the lawnmower....argh! Now I need a needle or a whole new carb. I can rebuild a V8 but I cant get this mower to start! 😕

I have this carb on my tiller. Rebuilt it using B&S kit and it responded great. Engine starts and runs very well with the exception of running rich. Any advice on what may be causing this! Did not change the emulsion tube as I’m not sure it had/has one.

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Check to make sure your float does not have fuel in it? but it’s obvious, you do not use a Briggs & Stratton kit for a Tecumseh carburetor. If you have the Original Equipment Manufacturer Tecumseh carburetor, you will have a emulsion tube and I replace all.

[@kge420]

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines I should have been more clear. I have a B&S engine and carb and I was asking more to the point of a non adjustable carb running rich. I looked on the parts diagram and there is no emulsion tube in this carb. I did buy a new float but didn’t install it as it was running so well I figured I’d leave well enough alone. If this can be an issue I’ll definitely install the new float. Thanks for an in-depth video and also for the quick reply.

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Ooooooo! Yes you are correct, no emulsion tube for the Briggs carburetor. I have not had the greatest luck rebuilding the Briggs non adjustable carburetor. I now normally just replace them as I have learn that Briggs is using China to make some of there carburetors and you can get a reasonably priced carburetor on Amazon. Most I have had good luck with. I hope you figure it out. Let me know when you do as I am always interested.

[@kge420]

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines Will do and thanks again. I was wondering if the bolt that holds the bowl on and acts as the jet could be worn oversized from use. Engine is 30+ years old.
