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!
@matthewjablonski61396 ай бұрын
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.

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.

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.

My float bowl gasket is broken, would that be the reason behind my engine starting and immediately dyeing?

Great video Brad, but I have a question. How can I set the float height without having the Tecumseh tool? Thanks again.
@JohnsonsSmallEngines5 ай бұрын
The measurant is in between 11/64" and 3/16". You can use a drill bit to get very close.

good video! when I prime it, gas leaks from carb over the float bowl any ideas?
@JohnsonsSmallEngines8 ай бұрын
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.
@JohnsonsSmallEngines6 ай бұрын
If the plastic float is a Tecumseh part, then yes the tool works the same and the float is adjustable.

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
@JohnsonsSmallEngines9 ай бұрын
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?🙏🙏🙏

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 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 Жыл бұрын
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.

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.
@JohnsonsSmallEngines6 ай бұрын
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.
@kge4206 ай бұрын
@@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.

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.
