Fantastic job mate. I've never had an emulsion tube drop out on those newer kawasaki carbs. They are usually pigs to push down.

[@RegSchmo]

Nice work Mick - having had more than my fair share of carb cleaning problems I would urge anyone starting this process to clean the outer body of the carb thoroughly and lining the bench with clean towel BEFORE attempting to dismantle any carb. To do otherwise you are just inviting crud into the inside of the carb

Nice tip about the fuel bowl tap getting clogged. I wouldn't have thought of that.

Hello there Mick!! This was a great demo of how easy it is to service a carb. Nothing high tech, just some simple bits and pieces that are easily cleaned. Great video and take care!!

Great video Mick! I’m in Denmark so a bit of a nag to get them serviced here. Wish I’d seen it before I did the job last week, took me 4 hours of fiddling🤣 Now I know how to in 30 minutes! Now a subscriber !!

[@themowerman]

Hi Henrik glad to meet you .. thanks for watching the video..

[@henrikstrandgaard2980]

@@themowerman Thanks Mick. Just re-did the whole thing yesterday, and two thing I can't figure out: 1) Mine runs same speed when in either high or low, doesn't make any difference at all and 2) there is a screw with a spring on top of carb that controls the position of the carb arm, I can adjust that, but set for low speed the engine cuts out. if I turn it up 1/4-1/2 turn engine runs very high and if I back it down just a bit it runs high for a minute and then backs down to coughing and finally dying. Any ideas?

[@themowerman]

@@henrikstrandgaard2980 hi.. you my need to undo the cable on the engine.. set the speed to full throttle on the leaver at the top of the handle bar.. and set the throttle to full on the engine. Then do up the cable.. now try the mower again.. the screw on the carb should have around 2/3 threads showing.. hope that helps

[@Ray_ray11]

Mick. When you took the hinge out from the float bowl did you not notice the very small spring that fits on the the pin and float. I didn't notice it on mine and I had to look at the parts drawing to see where it is located. The spring is hair like so very small and fine. Thanks for the video. I have the 14k, love it to bits.

[@themowerman]

Morning mate .. you have a spring on the float needle.. and can be lost very easy.. thanks for watching

[@sarindersingh3200]

Mick, many thanks for a great video. I cannot seem to work out how the spring on float and pin goes back. Can you let me know how it fits? Many thanks SS

[@psi10001]

It'd be great to see Aspen sponsoring one of your videos, I don't think there's a bigger killer of petrol garden equipment than poor pump fuel.

Well hopefully they will one day..

[@Grahams-Grass]

Thanks mate

[@adrianphotovisions2308]

Hi Mick I have seen other Kawasaki carbs with an emulsion tube and also a short jet that screws above the emulsion tube. Mine, I think like this one, only has the emulsion tube, but I am wondering if I am missing the jet??

[@themowerman]

I would say it needs a jet.. if it's the same as my carb it's still available...

[@andrewmaw76]

Thank you great video Where can you get the files you used for cleaning the jets please?

In the comments above mate is a link

[@davidlaird5077]

Hi Mick. Straightforward job EXCEPT, miniscule spring came off the float assembly. Anybody know of a closeup image, as it's not obvious how it goes back on

[@themowerman]

Email me some photos of how you have it fitted. [e-mail]

[@davidlaird5077]

I don't have it fitted. It was lying loose when I went to take the float pin out

Morning Wayne.. thanks for the comment.. hopefully someone can make use of it .

[@nigelsims207]

Great video Mick, just what I needed as my Kensington was hunting. Only issue I had is I couldn't get the emulsion tube out it seems to be stuck solid. Any ideas on how to remove without damaging it?

[@themowerman]

Use a screwdriver in the carb and push it down.. it will come out.. use lots of wd40.. you can even use a small Alan key to help it come out too.. hope that helps mate if not come back to me .

I cleaned up the end and got it running ok. I am actually trying to source a new tube at the moment but it seems they are not available. I am not sure just how critical the length of the bit that sticks up into the airflow is, would like to file it down a bit to remove some marks.

[@gordyl9247]

Hi Mick, Robbie from Premier Lawns Belfast utube channel linked you. My question is : On a rotary mower what engine ie blade speed do you run at. Would it be in relation to the drive speed, I did a first collection cut at a lower blade speed (after 3-4 mulch cuts) and found it was very neat and even, any guidance would be appreciated.

Could be a belt problem or a new pinion gear as well as a drive upgrade where the pinion gear goes.. hope this helps www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393869368682?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=UlyIrJAdQnS&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=VxofTcWjS-2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

It's a home user model.. but can be used for greens if you use the fine cut cylinder.. it's a fantastic mower..
