Save $Money$ With Aftermarket Carburetors For Small Engines!

[@mustie1]

ive run them for a while with good luck too, the castings crack easy at the bowl nut so easy doesi it

[@doublewide6]

I have used the aftermarket carbs several times with great success. I really like the 2 cycle ones like for stihl chainsaws from china.

[@filbnineseventwo7410]

I just purchased an aftermarket adjustable one on a Amazon for $16 including shipping. It was not an Oregon brand but runs great so far.

[@mae2759]

Replaced a rusted carb on a hand-me-down Harbor Freight wood chipper from my inlaws. $16 aftermarket carb from amazon did the trick! I cleaned the carb on my snow blower last year for the second time in 2 years. Don's comment about sometimes you just gotta replace it might be sound advice. I might order one just to keep on hand so I don't have to wait on shipping to replace it when I need it.

[@buggsyspam]

I bought that exact non adjustable carb on Amazon. I can't agree more. For $15 I got an entirely new carb. I was going to spend $14 for an OEM bowl gasket and new drain button/valve (wouldn't seal anymore). Good deal, and so much less hassle.

[@MrAvant123]

Ive just replaced the carb on my fairly new garden tractor with Kawasaki v twin engine. I had heard horror stories about replacement chinese carbs but took the plunge. I compared as many internal parts as possible with the genuine Walbro unit and could see no issues. In short the machine started instantly, needed minimal idle speed idle air adjustment and has never run so well - full throttle - no issue -- very pleased..

[@BrucesShop]

I ordered the one for the 4HP Tecumseh # 631918 It has no primer orifice and it worked fine.. Great video Don.As always Bruce

[@donyboy73]

+Bruce Pender thanks bruce

[@Mr_Tecumseh]

I just finished up with a 1994 Noma Snowblower with a 5hp Tecumseh. It had an Oregon Carb. The Oregon carb is actually better than the OEM Tecumseh version. The main jet going up thru the center and into the throttle body was brass on the oregon. Its plastic on the Tecumseh version. The engine runs great. Its an older one so it may have been made in the USA at the time vs the new Oregon carbs, which are made in China, not sure. I purchased a no name Chinese one last year for just over $10 on ebay for another 5hp Tecumseh and it would not run right at full throttle, it surged bad. It probably could have been rectified by enlarging the main jet with a micro drill bit, but the Oregon carb worked exactly how it should and looked nearly identical to a Tecumseh carb, except it was better, Brass components vs. plastic on the Tecumseh. The Oregon carbs are good.

[@pbrstreetgng79]

Here's my experience with aftermarket parts and equipment: I have had good luck with the Chinese carbs all over ebay for briggs quantum engines. They are of lesser quality, but for $20 or less sometimes, they will last as long as an OEM around here where nobody respects ethanol fuel, and gums up their carbs. I have also had good luck with aftermarket Chinese 2 cycle carbs that fit "Big Box" store brand trimmers, edgers, hedge trimmers, etc, both Zama and Walbro. often times the Chinese carbs will have slotted high and low needles without the need for the special adjustment tool(s). I have had terrible success buying aftermarket (Chinese) in-line fuel filters, specifically the red Briggs & Stratton filters. I bought a pack of ten, and every single one leaked fuel. My friend who owns a Stihl dealership told me ten years or so ago that she only uses OEM Tecumseh rebuild kits. She tried aftermarket kits, and had about three dozen customers return their equipment due to leaky needle/seats. The Chinese knockoff Walbro carbs that replace WYL and WYJ carbs are pretty good too. Sometimes, depending on the make/model, an OEM replacement is around $80-$100, whereas a Chinese one is say $12 free shipping. I have not tried ANY aftermarket rebuild kits for carbs after hearing what my friend told me ten years ago. I'd rather shell out an extra $2 and get an OEM kit. The absolute best aftermarket carbs I have found are the Chinese ebay ones for newer Poulan chainsaws. They go for around $8-$9, and they come with fuel line and a snap-in primer bulb. I have bought dozens and NEVER had a problem with them. That being said, I have had great luck with Chinese primer bulbs; the snap-in type, the screw-on type for those Poulan chainsaws, and the common sized Walbro and Zama bulbs that go on the carb itself. You can buy a lot of fifty of each for a few bucks. I have heard bad things about Chinese knock-off fake "Tygon" fuel line. I have been told they color it yellow to look like real deal DuPont Tygon, when really it is just regular plastic. I buy aftermarket air filters for Briggs as well, both the common foam type for Sprint and Quattro type engines, and the paper ones for Quantum style engines, both with great success. Aftermarket Tecumseh air filters are good, too. Aftermarket Chinese Honda replacement carbs are a safe bet too, when the OEM is really expensive. When I can get an aftermarket carb for so cheap, I don't even bother rolling the dice on rebuilding a carburetor. Hope this helps anyone else who fixes equipment.

[@donyboy73]

+pbrstreetgng79 yes exactly I only OEM carb kits, especially Tecumseh ones

[@dancin4]

+pbrstreetgng79 This is great to hear. I have a 39 year old Toro Tecumseh 7hp that I rebuilt 6 years ago and wow did that fix it...gummed up. Now I put stabil and sea foam in the gas...and drain it in April. Running the gas out most times when shutting down make start up easy. I did replace the starter three years ago and the bracket welds just broke off this year. I have yet to replace it, but the engine starts on second pull! I just added the rubber flapper impeller mods that many people have shown and then had to readjust last year's belt tension...also I use vegetable spray on the chute area before I use the blower to lube metal so snow doesn't stick to the cold metal parts. Now I am working on my non-adjustable Simplicity (1999 Regent 14 HP Kohler tractor) I think that is when they made them cheaper. Pulleys/belts everything went bad year 6 and I am barely cutting 1/2 acre. I would like to buy a Scag with 29 hp DFI Kawasaki if anyone has experience with them...I have been reading up on them on scag blog. Thanks for the resource of parts and repairs!

[@mikespain8655]

Hard to beat a Scag zero turn mower.

[@nova481]

I've used Oregon carburetors on a couple of my machines including my Yardman snow blower, they run just like new.

[@932stretch]

I was so disappointed when Tecumseh stopped engine production. So many people bad-mouth Tecumseh engines. I would not buy a power product unless it HAD a Tecumseh engine on it. My 32 old John Deere 826 never misses a beat and pumps snow all day long; literally, THE SNOW KING! My lawn mowers perform as well. I've never had a bad one. Yup, their carbs can be touchy and don't like dirt [like all carbs] but they perform. At one time, 99 percent of all snowblowers had Tecumseh engines because they perform. Check/change the oil, warm them up, run them hard [they love it and never give up] and let them cool down. Now that they don't make them anymore, I have to make sure mine stay running as long as I can. Your great website and knowledge will insure that that happens. Finally, instead of trashing Tecumseh, I finally found someone who understands/appreciates a Tecumseh. THANKS !

[@donyboy73]

I totally agree

[@oby-1607]

You are the small engine mechanic "go to" for me. Thanks for all of your sharing.

[@alssmallengines]

I've used aftermarket carbs for Briggs engines & also 2 cycle engines, had good luck with them so far.

[@99carnot]

Always good to have this information for replacement Tecumseh parts. Thanks!

[@rqdq8576]

Thanks Donyboy - this is exactly what I need to fix up my Troybilt snowblower. I will check the engine model number and order one of these carb's.

[@robertoswalt319]

After watching several of your repair videos, I have started keeping a replacement carb for each of my small engines especially my generators.

[@joev3315]

Dony, great video like always, good to know , your help has help me take care of my 1994 mastercraft snowblower. Runs like it just came out of the store.I even had the bucket tack soldered, Its like I said brand new, good for another 20 years. I see the new models are not as strong as the old ones. and now with engines made in china the look so cheap,again continue the GREAT WORK you do .waiting for your next weeks video. have a great weekend

[@seansysig]

I've used the Oregon brand on at least 5 SnowKing snowblowers with great success I just replace the washer as it deform too easily due to it being too thin.

[@johnpilagonia5238]

I have been using these carbs for years and have had a problem with 1 of over 100 I have installed. They are great carbs. Be aware that some of the oregon carbs will only accept oregon parts. Mostly on the Briggs carbs.

[@73honda350]

A couple of years ago I put the oregon adjustable on a tec hm80 on a 20+ yo noma blower. I had tried rebuilding the orig. carb a couple times before but it just never ran well. With the oregon carb it ran as well or better than when it was new. Still using the blower and haven't had to do a thing to the carb since then.

[@scottfirman]

Be careful with after market carbs. I had one on a riding mower Kohler motor and the main jet was the wrong size. Most of these are cheap and remember you get what you paid for. That being said,we do what we need as to get these things running. I ran into a surging issue on a Poulan snow blower and it turned out to be the red plastic jet that just pushes in to the top of the carb needed to have the jet enlarged to fix the surging issue. I learned it from another guy on a You-Tube channel. He said it was a design flaw and I have to agree. The carb isnt anything I am familure with which leads me to believe Poulan is throwing cheap motors on their stuff. I also had to drill out the main jet. The customer said this blower ran like that from the start( surging). He never took it back under warrenty ( I would have). Another place quoted him $400 to fix it. That being BS and the shop simply didnt want to fix it. Its called putting such a high price on it you know the customer will say no. It does happen,even auto mechanics have been known to do this. Now days,people can be lazy and cherry pick a job I guess. I fixed that blower and am proud of myself that I was able yo save someone a lot of money and not charge some stupid price like that. Because of a poorly designed cheapo carb.

[@dagrote1]

Don, Very timely. A friend asked me this weekend to look at his tiller. The carb needed a rebuild kit, but when I saw your video, I just ordered a new carb. The new carb was about the same price as a rebuild kit!

[@FRANKSBESEK]

Hello Donyboy. I have used several of these aftermarket carbs on Homelite string trimmer, Dynamark snow blower and Yardmachines push mower. My machines are all ancient and they look and run like I just bought them. Aftermarket saves an unbelievably large amount of money. The quality, I have found to be unsurpassed ! Nice. Stay well buddy and thanks for always posting useable and knowledgeable information and tips. Sincerely, Frank.

[@poochie49]

I bought a Chinese carb for my Honda G100 engine. It was like $11.00 free shipping. Fit like a glove and starts on first pull every time.

[@paullarson2178]

Dony, I just tried the Tecumseh OEM bowl O-ring on the replacement (non-Oregon) carbs I bought direct from China and it is too big and sloppy! Just a heads up and buyer beware, there are apparently many different versions of replacement carbs for Tecumseh engines coming from China, and many of the parts don't interchange. I've ordered an original Oregon as my spare at your advice. Thanks for all you do.

[@donyboy73]

+paul larson THANKS FOR THE TIP, if it still does it with the Oregon try another o-ring

[@Menditman2014]

I've used a few I've bought from China and they work great, I hardly worth buying carb kits anymore. Good vid Dony.

[@johng6124]

I've had great success with these aftermarket carbs. Just put one on a snowblower a few weeks ago and it only cost 11.99 and the machine runs great with it

[@turningwrenches7867]

Hello Don, You did not mention if the carbs are interchangeable. Would there be any benefit to install an adjustable carb in place of the non adjustable one? I've been "Turning Wrenches" for over 50 years now and its good to see to see people like you fixing and repairing machines instead for scrapping them and buying new. People like you with the knowledge to repair equipment are few and far between. Great video's.

[@donyboy73]

+Turning Wrenches yes you can interchange them, the benefit of the adjustable is that is adjustable!

[@kyles609]

$15 on Amazon is the best deal with fast and free shipping. I had issues after installing one of these and had to keep cleaning the main jet. After replacing the aging fuel line and adding a $5 Briggs fuel filter it runs great. I'd say these are about 25% of the cost of oem.

[@Patrick4959]

love the good old Bowl type Carburettors very easy to clean and rebuild you cannot go wrong with them great video by the way Dony mate

[@slimmers00]

[@leatherman651]

Thanks for this video. I have recently figured out that every time I have a stating problem, it's always the carb. I will replace it myself next time. Appreciate the information and tips on the gaskets.

[@GERALD0071000]

Hi dony, I've swapped my carb out for the Oregon replacement. However the snowblower still hesitates when going from low to high throttle and gives a quick puff of black smoke but evens out and runs fine. It runs fine at idle or high speed but stumbles a little going from low to high throttle. New spark plug as well. Any thoughts? It is the non adjustable carb.

[@jmc5341]

GERALD0071000 the non adjustable carbs will always be right on the edge of running bad. That's why he has another video where he replaces it with an older style adjustable carb. I'd be thankful it runs good at all. I did everything I could and mine still runs terrible. I'm finally just gonna order the old adjustable unit.

[@MrDandan170]

Champion sold me a replacement carb for my generator , but thanks to you its still in the box ..... makes since tho with generators to maybe have a spare in a full time off grid situation, always have a clean one ready to swap out incase you have other things going and dont have time to do a good cleaning at that moment

[@jeffsnyder5456]

So I have a simplicity 3890 snowblower that I picked up cheap. It has a non adjustable carburetor and won't come clean, surging and no idle circuit. So I bought a new one (actually 2) non adjustable and no primer port. Any suggestions on how to install a primer port? I just don't want to end up destroying 2 other carburetors.

[@johngrein3325]

I've probably replaced 50+ with these aftermarket carbs. I also recommend to people to shut the fuel off and let the machine use up the fuel in the carb before putting it away. And recommend using non ethanol fuel in all their small engines. Don you do a great job with your KZbin posts!

[@jean-claudeproulx6019]

You know DonyBoy73, the welch plug is missing on. Many Chinese carburator are missing welch plug.

[@curtwuollet2912]

I can't see why a DIY would use the n.a. part, no one is ever gonna check to see if you have the EPA approved part and with the mixture tweaks you'll have the only blower in the neighborhood that runs right. Especially when it's below zero.

[@dc5000123]

I've seen aftermarket carbs go from $50 each to $15 each in the last 3 years. They are a bargain nowadays.

[@bg147]

+dc5000123 Did they move production to China during that period?

[@dc5000123]

Most aftermarket carbs are made in China. Even most of the OEM carbs are also now made in China so I rather pay less for import parts :)

The idea to replace the gaskets is a good one. I replaced the carb on my tiller and it leaked like crazy.

[@jmabs5096]

Oregon seems to be a better aftermarket carb. No name Chinese ones from Amazon do NOT last or quite work as good.

[@glengrossnickle4985]

Do you have a way I can get a hold of the company so I can get the right one. Or can I talk to you about getting the right one. Thanks

[@googleusergp]

I have used aftermarket carburetors on Tecumseh powered Craftsman blowers, namely to replace Tecumseh 632107A (which is Oregon 50-640, not either of these two part numbers) which is a popular one for the 5 hp Tecumseh Snow King as used on a Murray made Craftsman blower. I bought one for about $9 off Ebay and bolted it on a machine and it started right up and ran great out of the box. As you said, the Tecumseh original was rebuilt a few times, but because it sat, and no matter how much it was cleaned it was still a problem. There are multiple versions of this, so I suggest to look up your original part # from the parts list and then interchange it on the Stens, Oregon or Rotary website to determine which one you need.

[@wtbm123]

I have used quite a few aftermarket carbs , and no big issues yet

[@lovestihlquality1369]

DB, do you ever use silicone or other product on O rings?

[@bigbob0042]

My question is since its an aftermarket carb can you buy a replacement needle and seat ? cause I noticed it uses a brass seat and viton needle and OEM Tecumseh uses a rubber seat and metal needle, so a Tecumseh rebuild kit wont work other than the bowl and bowl nut gasket. That is why I don't use or recommend aftermarket carbs anymore, ive tried cheapo's from ebay and more expensive aftemarket ones like the Oregon and have never had good luck with none of them at least 10 different ones so now in my eyes its OEM or nothing if it cant be rebuilt.

[@sheldon8916]

Another good video Dony. I have a 1985 2HP 4 stroke boat motor (BF20-1005485) that needs a carb or at least a bowl because the bowl keeps rusting on the inside and causing problems. Do you know what carb or bowl I would order for this motor? Or is there a good way to make the bowl stop rusting on the inside? Thanks.

[@marathoner43]

If my Tecumseh came with a non-adjustable, can I replace it with an adjustable, or do I have to use a non-adjustable?

[@paullarson2178]

I've bought both versions from China for an 8.5hp Tecumseh blower but eventually ended up just rebuilding the OEM Tecumseh. The aftermarkets I purchased (not from Oregon) look identical to yours except that they both had a plated steel fuel bowl. They also leaked exactly as you described. I finally put the rebuilt OEM back on because they never ran quite as good. Can the fixed and adjustable hi-lo jet parts be used inter-changeably on the OEM Tecumseh carb? i doubt I will ever use the aftermarkets but wondered about using some of the parts.

[@MOAArtstore]

Thanks Son, just put a $20 USD carb on an older, but like new Ariens 520. Works like a charm, I paid $100 for the blower this past summer cause it wouldn't run and hadn't for the past 6 years. Guy just wanted it gone. His loss, my gain. Thanks again, I'm loving my $120 investment.

[@shade38211]

Had a 20 year old generator that I finally bought new after market carb for. That was after hrs of trying clean old carb with no success. I believe the newer carbs are setup better to handle the shit ethanol in most gas now. Think carb was 25-27 $ . Screwing around for hrs with old carb and 12$ rebuild kit was complete waste of time.

[@umajunkcollector]

Hi Don, Good tip, the TIME that it takes to r&r is much less than to rebuild a carb. I fussed with the carb on my 6hp B&S for hours, gave up, got a cheap new one, works great. Unclogging an old carb can be a pain. Use non ethanol gas too, or get new carbs regularly. Don

Hi. Thanks again for great tips. I am always concerned about non OEM carbs but the savings can be considerable. I,ve worked on a couple very new TroyBilt Storm 2410 blowers with the Powermore Chinese engines. Both of them had less than 10 hours on them and surged like mad. Like you I cleaned and rebuilt the first one to no avail Then replaced the carb. The one I am working on now was run for just about 2 hrs. last winter and I don't want to waste time rebuilding. Went to Amazon for new carb and they list almost a dozen aftermarket replacements cheap. Besides Oregon are there other good suppliers of aftermarket carbs? I did try to clean out the existing carb by removing bowl and needle valve and using carb spray. Now the thing leaks when priming each Push (even the first) and if you tip the machine downward. I double checked and all connections are as tight as I dare. Any ideas?

[@aarondaniel7688]

How interchangeable are carbs from different small engines? I just received a 30 year old Yamaha YS828 snowblower. Most things on it look like clones of the Honda 828 and 928's I've used, but it does almost as well as the Honda's, so I'm thinking of putting it at our rental in addition to the MTD snowblower it has (the 10HP MTD does pretty well (just removed 32" of wet, partially compacted snow with it), but it would help to shoot the snow further like the Hondas or this Yamaha does). I've fixed several things on it, but the carb leaks just a little out the drain plug and holding plug on the bowl. The external fuel pump, which I haven't seen on another small engine I've played with, might leak too. Could I replace the carb and fuel pump with a carb clone for a honda of similar HP? The OEM carb 7KF-14501-01-00 is available online for around $120, but I'd rather simplify to something I'm more familiar with, getting rid of the fuel pump (which I think most bowl carbs do away with, or internalize like a Zama or Walbro non-bowl carb on a chainsaw or the like). Thanks for the great videos and info!

[@aarondaniel7688]

BTW, the main reason I'm looking to replace this carb is that when cleaning the carb in trying to get the engine running, the screwdriver notching on the main jet striped, and so I was unable to get the main nozzle out to clean it's small orifices. It's working for now, and I can likely fix any fuel leaks with similar seals or fix-a-seal, but it would be great to know if I could put a different carb on it if it or the pump fails.

Don, nice video! Just wanted to tell you that I bought a nonadjustable carb from the Tecumseh dealer for $60. tax in...... yes he gave me a good deal. Then I ordered a nonadjustable one from China for $21, Ebay. delivered. Neither had the mounting hardware for the choke lever. I didn't change the gasket on the Chinese one, but had no leaks. I did have to exchange the Tecumseh one because it didn't work right, 2nd one was OK. I took the bowels off and compared the insides. The only difference I saw is where the primer tube comes out into the bowel..... on the Tecumseh one there is a plug with a tiny opening on the side. With the Chinese one there was no plug and you could see the end of the fitting that goes out through (better for cleaning). Only thing was I had to wait a month for the Chinese one to come. Keep the video's coming, remember the world is watchingByron

Can an adjustable carb be swapped out with a non-adjustable carb? A friends snowblower sat for 3 or more years, I cleaned it up, but it still surges and backfires.

[@donyboy73]

yes it can

Can you replace a non adjustable Tecumseh carburetor with the older adjustable carb

[@wbgator1]

OK! Forget the comment i left in your last video, BUT does it say on the Oregon box that it is imported from China. Oh, yel, i didn't replace the gaskets and didn't have any leaks. It was no trouble to see the difference in the thickness of the 2gaskets that went under the nut though.

[@donyboy73]

yes they are from china

Hey, I've been soaking my lawnmower carbs in gum out and replacing the gaskets when necessary, I found gum out in the 60s when I was a kid mowing lawns . I haven't heard you say you use gum out, do you not like it or is there some reason that maybe I shouldn't be using it that I don't know about? Thanks Ed
