Rebuilding a fuel pump and carb on a 14 HP briggs and Stratton

[@wyattklingensmith8862]

The best video ive seen about rebuilding a briggs twin carburetor, not too long and easy to follow. Learned why my fuel pump was leaking

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

Thanks bud

[@Lord0D]

You answered my question! My 18hp Briggs has a remote fuel pump on the firewall, instead of on the carb. It just looks weird like it's missing something IMO... Thanks for the video

[@virgiltoepfer7087]

Thanks Dave, ordered repair kit for my pump had same springs. When I took it apart two small springs were not in there. Also the gasket was like yours. 🤬 glad I found your video! Surged constantly after the last so called small engine tech rebuilt it. He said the jets needed replacement. BS He is no longer in business. Great video

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

Glad I could help Virgil

[@ZombieDaveAZ]

You had me at "a lot went wrong". 44° is when I hang the 'gone south for the winter' sign up. 👍

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

ulitepilot aka Zombie Dave Thanks bud what can I say I hate my life. JK

[@kevinarmentrout4117]

Thank You for the help, I only had a couple of bad things come out of my mouth, lol. Thanks Again it RUNS

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

I'm glad this helped

[@tolbaszy8067]

Nice job! There is therapeutic benefit for making a video of your work. When crap happens, you remain civil!

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

LOL. I try

[@jusken7853]

Thanks for a great video. I just rebuilt one with your help and had many of the same previous shit job problems. Runs great now thanks to your help.

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

Thank you very much

[@tonymacdonald2870]

Hi Dave have in a hard time there. Thats what i am like. Just means you a real man doing what real men enjoy. Hope you find the starter and show us your success. All the best Tony.

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

tony macdonald thanks Tony I appreciate it. It just seems like I look like an idiot in every video. I don't mind being funny I just don't want to look stupid

[@tryhard2454]

I have a 19.5 HP Briggs & Stratton. What's interesting is your pointing out that someone had messed with pump and put it together wrong. But when I opened mine up to fix it, it was set up exactly the same way, FROM THE FACTORY apparently because no one had ever been inside that lawn mower. So whoever put it together from the factory did it back assward. Apparently mine wasn't the only one. What else is interesting if you watch other videos they will have you putting it back together the way it came out which apparently is backwards.

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

I guess it works either way

[@01tubaplayer]

Great video! Helped me out so much putting mine back together

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

Thanks. Hope yours works great

[@ZippoVarga]

When I have a dropsie day, I usually take a break and regroup. I get frustrated then it all goes to hell in a hand basket lol. That's a SUPER deal on that trade. If that's a good Vanguard, it's the king of the hill as far as I'm concerned for the newer Twins. Happy Thanksgiving my good Friend! Zip~

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

ZippoVarga Thanks Zip I know the guy really well that I got the vanguard from he assured me that it's good but as soon as I get the starter on the opposed and get it running then I'll put the vanguard on the stand and fire it up. STAY TUNED. See ya buddy

[@BrucesShop]

I love those motors. The last guy just left evidence of what he did. OK Dave I get the droppsy's all the time. I blame it on being left handed with using right handed tools. That carb looks just a tad different than the 18HP ones. Nice swap for the V Twin. I have a telescoping magnet. Helps with the dropsy's. Looking forward to the next one.

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

Bruce Pender Thanks Bruce I found out it needs a starter which I do have in my hoard

[@BrucesShop]

Good for you

[@ZippoVarga]

Us lefties have to band together against the left minded! lol Telescoping magnets are my friend! I love these boxer opposed twins. Almost indestructible when properly maintained. I much prefer the satellite fuel pump over the carb mounted ones my self. More reliable than the problematic ones. They can easily be bypassed. Just have to scavenge the vacuum from a boss that's on all of the carbs by drilling, tapping and putting a barbed fitting in place, then just putting the old pump together without the check flap on the gasket so the fuel flows. The three Boxers I have (horizontal shaft) are brutes. But one has a pretty pronounced knock I need to tend to. The engine on Traitor I've had in 4 tractors and have owned for 15 years. Cheers Bruce!

[@gregryan7761]

@@@davessmallenginerevival2847 ...Dave, did you make a video showing the engine startup? If you did, point me to it, give me the link. BTW, nice job, no video is perfect, good technical information. I just picked up the same engine by chance and troubleshooted the problems (rats nest under cowl, bad starter, which is why it was parked to begin with, dead spark plugs, clean filthy carb bowl before I added fuel), so this was very helpful. Keep it up.

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

@@gregryan7761 thanks Greg. I do have a video of it running. I would send you a link but I'm not sure how to do that. If you go to my channel you can find it

[@jimeckenrode1271]

Dave, I believe you assembled it wrong. on the cover side you put the rubber piece on first but the cork gasket should have been first on the inside of the cover. From what I have seen on several other video's of the same fuel pump.

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

You might be right Jim I noticed that on other videos also but all I can say is it did work

[@jimeckenrode1271]

@@davessmallenginerevival2847 That is ok glad it worked

[@garymallard4699]

my shop manual shows it as cut gasket on outside metal part first..then the rubber diaphram next...you did it wrong..the person before had it right..but lost springs etc...lol

[@chuckiiidee8704]

Nice video. Thank you

[@richrichy6094]

What fuel line goes where on the carb

[@gabrijeldragun276]

Hy, can you taka a picture of governor springs....I missing one and the engine wont take throttle from the stick on dash...dont know what kind of spring do I need to buy...thans

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

It's an old video. I no longer have this engine

[@kevinarmentrout4117]

Is there a video of how to replace old with new carburetor/fuel pump combo?

[@tonis2u]

tks Dave, currently working on a 1990 8hp I/C B&S running an MTD 31 ton splitter. The pump replacement that starts at 7:40 is right on. this freakin pump is more complicated than a heart valve, lol., the 'other notch' is the breather hose, the pump on my splitter is a plastic standalone unit that's screwed to the sheet meatal housing , pretty ez on a workbench compared to the craftsman in the vid. The spring (s) orientation is crucial. What size fuel line are you using? tks again you nailed it.

[@dannymuncey4650]

Could you give me the model number of the engine. I got one just like it but my numbers you can't read all of them

[@garydowns9237]

I love this video, it’s like I did it !!! Lol we work exactly the same!!! Would love to help and learn, just got out of small engine repair class here where I live and want to find a place to learn!!

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

They have small engine classes? If you're nor subscribed to Bruce Pender you should. I'm not the best teacher and not real happy with this video and I'll probably do another one. Thanks so much Gary and it doesn't cost anything to subscribe

[@garydowns9237]

Dave Ackerman 1967 that where I found you was on Bruce’s channel and I started watching you now and have subscribed too you now also

[@dirtandtools0474]

Where did you buy your kit for the carb thanks good video

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

I was rebuilding it for a friend. He works at Napa and he got the lit through there

[@kevinarmentrout4117]

My mower runs fine but when I engage the mower deck the motor stops like it's running out of gas. I disengage the mower deck and it re- starts and runs again. Have you ever heard of this happening?

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

You either have something like a lot of grass build-up stopping the blades from turning or you have a bad safety switch. You'll have to find out witch one it is and replace it

[@Mezman101]

Well since everyone else is telling you good video, I'm going to be the honest one and let you know what it would have taken to make it a phenomenal video. Focus on proper assembly. Not the incorrect major in which it came in. No one wants to know the wrong info, only three proper and correct info. Respectfully

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

Soooo let me get this straight , you know a phenomenal video???? HOW??? I looked you up son and low and behold you have no content, just like all the know it alls out there in tube land. You are a troll because you're a cowered, to scared to put himself out there for criticism. Get a life loser!!! Oh and next time you feel like criticizing someone just remember it takes a lot of dedication and effort for someone to make a video just to have people like you come along and step all over it. Respectively 😁

[@voya8480]

Spring made of copper?

[@truthurts1692]

waaay too long video. You should try to be more prepared for the job you will be doing. I gave up at about ten minutes.

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

BY!!!

[@MikeJones-rk1un]

​@@davessmallenginerevival2847 Dave constructive criticism. We appreciate your effort. I did notice your assembly of the pump at 8:00 contradicted the diagram for the tractor I am working on but when I did it their way, it wouldn't pump.

[@MikeJones-rk1un]

For the first 2:20 it's just babbling so skip to their. At that point he says the cover cork / rubber gaskets are reversed. Online diagrams I have found disagree. After 28 mins. of this video I still don't have an answer.

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

Mike M I never ever claimed to be a professional you tuber or mechanic I'm just a regular guy playing around in his garage. But then guys like you come along and criticize everything because you're so much smarter than everybody else. I tried to find your channel to see how smart you really are but of course there's about a million Mike m's out there so I'm going to assume you don't have shit you're just a keyboard commando right Mike m

[@MikeJones-rk1un]

Don't be so sensitive Davie. Maybe you can learn from constructive criticism rather than lashing out in anger. I did not "Criticize everything" as you said. I pointed out what looks like a mistake according to what others are showing me. If you can't stand that you should leave the camera off.

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

Mike M by the way the gaskets were wrong. If I had them wrong it wouldn't have ran. I probably didn't explain it well. I'm still learning how to make videos it's not as easy as you think but you wouldn't know that would ya MIKIE

[@MikeJones-rk1un]

Dave Ackerman 1967: I checked several other video's and diagrams and you are either wrong or you explain things poorly. Check on that and deal with it. You keep making ignorant assumptions about me because I questioned a part of your video. Notice I didn't downthumb it because I know you took the time to make it and upload it. As I said, don't make video's if you can't handle a little critique.
