Great video but would have been nicer if you would have placed the camera on a tripod. Was hard to follow with my old eyes 🤓.

Had 3 Tecumseh Vector carbs that the throttle plates were sticking on. Ended up taking the plates off and sanding the plate edges down.

Do you have some more light?

That was fascinating! Thank you!

What's broken part called?

You should have put more detail in the video. It would have been nice to see how all the cables are installed.

Hunk of gasket or oring or fuel line broke down by ethanol at at least one time in its life! I have had super bad luck w ethanol. Period. In older stuff anyway and all 2 strokes.

Well, I tried your fix and it did work, but I've got a better one. Over the last few years, I've discovered the amazing cleansing power of Simple Green detergent. Ive used it for general cleaning for years, but recently found out that it really works well as a stain pre-treatment for clothing and if you have a mildew problem in your shower, you can clean with SImple Green first, then rinse and apply your regular mildew treatment. THe combination works so much better! Now, back to the primer. Soak the single gasket for about 30-seconds in simple green, massaging both surfaces gently until they feel smooth. Insert the gasket, reassemble the the air cleaner baseplate on the carb, the primer should work perfectly. Apparently Simple Green causes the gasket to swell slightly and that seals it on both surfaces. !!!!!

Any tips for next longer jet stuck up there next? Thanks

I recently replaced the cable on my PowerSmart push mower. The cable I got wasn't OEM, but it worked fine the first 3 times I ran it, but all of a sudden it doesn't want to fire up. I pulled the spark plug and sniffed it for gas and it smelled like it was getting gas. I put a spark checker in and lone behold, nothing. I have a feeling it's this kind of killswitch that's the issue. That or the ignition coil magically shit the bed.

great video except now what do you do with the left over ethanol and water left from pouring the gasoline off?

If they would grease them at the factory we would not be going thru this.

So how did you actually fix the problem, you forgot to show that part 😮

Adjust the self propel cable first. Easy to tighten.

Toro claims no need to replace oil... just top it off. Total BS. Mine looked just as black as yours when I dumped it after two years light usage. I'm glad I ignored their instructions.

I have to cut the grass or l can't go fishing. Mine does that , bought it used, never checked the blade sharpness. Drops clumps all over the yard.

Thank you for explaining the orientation of the seat and which way 'down' is (down from how it sits while working on it vs 'down' when on the engine). Also the tip about how the float should be flat and the tip about putting a little oil on the seat. Both helped.

My walk behind lawnmower that is 12 years old I always changed the oil with synthetic oil and would run it easily 25 hours worth of lawn mowing. Changed it every spring and it never uses a drop of oil, always at the full line and wasn't even that bad because of frequent oil changes! My DR trimmer mower just bought has that "never have to change the oil, just add" sticker on it. That will always get a yearly oil change! Both engines are Briggs and Stratton.

The surging problem comes from o ring that slides on to intake tube. You are sucking air. The bigger jet is compensating for the extra air.

I've got one of these and the carb was leaking, so I thought I would just get a gasket kit and get it all cleaned up. then I found out entire new carbs are like 19 bucks on Amazon

GREAT VIDEO ! The lever on the top on mine was loose. So even though it would work sometimes , sometimes it didn't. I took the carb off to clean it. Was already shiny inside. When I was putting it back together the lever wiggled and moved loosely. I'm watching this video because I couldn't remember what direction it was supposed to move. You answered my question exactly. Thank you for sharing that info. *GREAT VIDEO !*

I have that same Toro Recycler that I purchased in 2017. Same issue, choke thermostat on backwards. I’ll be switching it around to see if that fixes my issue. Thanks for the upload.

What is that hose called I'm looking at

Thanks for the video! With a bit of luck I was able to simultaneously twist the bushing with vice grips and slowly pry/push it off with a hefty screwdriver. Heat definitely helped kick start it.

Yard Machines 21" Push Mower - 11A-B0BL700 ..start at first pull....can't stop . kill switch is not working..how to fix?

Do not buy a lawn mower with a Tecumseh motor...problems never end !!

hey i have a question maybe you can help..i hope lol..well we have same mower it cut grass 2 weeks ago..have replaced the carburetor..new stop cable..also..was running great..if i buy gas at gas station it will start right away but will stop after a minute..is it the water in the gas?? im going try a can 4cycle from store..but it will start everytime run for minuite and die

I was up, out of my seat at 11:32 screaming touchdown, both arms raised!!

After a disastrous arrival at a job with my new pre-owned mower I have spent all weekend trying to suss out the problem. Your video could not have been more perfect. Thank you so much. I'm up and running again. I have subscribed and will be watching more. ❤🙏

did the same thing after cleaning the carburetor, mechanism on backwards

Thanks for posting this follow up video. Would the metal parts tolerate Simple Green purple HD?

My previous Toro lasted over 20 yrs with minimal maintenance. I bought a new one two years ago. Nothing but trouble.

IRREGARDLESS!! 4:46

it burns the oil so fast you need to "check and add"

Good jop tank

Nice video. 👍

Same situation but even after replacement of the Main Jet with a new one the engine is still surging

Thanks. Good information. What did you do with the ethanol that you removed?

Hate Tecumseh too hard to fix poorly engineered carb/ govenor access etc

Do this and you can adjust height without bending anything out. I agree using the pry bar will work but is not permanent. This worked for me and can't work its way back in. Washers are no good. Need a fixed "spacer" instead. ruclips.net/video/RVK_po7BRZsu/видео.html

I always wondered what that plastic nozzle was for, than when my mower would not prime or run this video solved my problem, thanks

Wait…so we don’t use the grease fittings?? I don’t understand what the grease fittings are for

Detailed video about poulan lawn more restoration. Lots of repair videos on your channel. Are you up for a collaboration? Hipa supplies parts for small engines and maybe we would work together to help more people in the community.

Mine is the same but never had a problem priming or starting

My plastic white barbed fitting has no hole. perhaps some engines were fitted with the wrong one.

The most important thing and you skip it 😔

What is the shaft size thickness of your Honda

Great info.. thanks

It's for the folks that don't take their finger off the prime bulb when they're priming. It's a messed up engineering idea. It reduces the priming bulb's efficiency by about 70 %. Priming bulbs worked just fine without the hole in the middle but God knows, we can't leave well enough alone. Engineers have to account for their paychecks somehow.
