Добавлен 19 мар 2020
Hey everyone. My name is Gerry. I've always liked tinkering around with engines. So I turned my love for working on small engines into a hobby business where I offer quality service and sales at affordable prices. I have learned so much from others RUclips channels that I thought I'd try and give back and help others who might be out there looking to wrench on their own stuff but might not know where to start. So if you like tinkering just like I do, you've come to the right channel. Hope you enjoy!

Top 5 Reasons Why Your Lawn Mower Is Leaking Oil
I have recently purchased one cheap and the existing carb jet bolt was stripped so I ended buying a new carb but it tends to leak from the bowl gasket, any way to fix that?
Are you certain it's from the bowl gasket and not from above. It's sometimes difficult to tell. Does it leak from that area all the time or just when running? Leaking from the bowl gasket could be several problems. Easiest thing to check is ensure the bowl nut is secured. Do not over tighten. It could be the needle valve not seating properly. I would start there.
One little trick I learned while working on small engines (or any kind of mechanical equipment) is to use your cell phone camera a take pictures of parts BEFORE taking it apart so you know how it goes back together.
Great tip. I do this quite often when working on a machine I've never worked on before. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
When buying a late model blower, just know that alot of them have switched some of the parts to plastic instead of metal. And plastic and subzero weather doesn't mix. Plastic gets brittle and brakes easily. Time to looks elsewhere. Troy Built used to make great solid equipment, but now it's just cheap MTD crap that is not very well made.
Agree. They definitely don't make stuff like they used to. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
I was able to remove the bowl without taking anything else apart. Dropped the main jet & emulsion tube. Main jet was plugged, emulsion tube was clear. Put it back together but it still won’t start. 🤨 fires for a second with starter fluid in spark plug hole.
Ended up removing carb & disassembling. Idle jet was plugged. Couldn’t have done it without this video, many thanks!🙏
Glad you were able to get your machine back up and running. Sometimes you get lucky and don't have to remove the whole carb and disassemble so wasn't a bad idea to try that first. Thanks for watching. Cheers
I have a toro 621 R power clear that leaks fuel. It doesn’t leak right away but when I check the shed in the morning the tank was empty. I tried it again I put some fuel in it I started the machine I shut it down I checked for leaks I didn’t see anything around the tank or fuel line but next morning the tank was empty. Can this be a carburetor leak?
I would suggest putting a piece of cardboard under the machine and set a timer for maybe an hour. Try to isolate where it's leaking from. Hard to diagnose if you can't see where it's dripping from. Check back if you find the source and need some suggestions. Cheers
Great detail. I have a Briggs and Stratton surging problem. Spesifically where is the low jet in the carburetor?
Sorry but you'd need to be more specific on which type of briggs and stratton engine. There are many different types of carburetors used on briggs and stratton engines.
Thanks 🎉
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers

Hello there I have a similar snow blower mine leaks gas after pressing the primer once any ideas?
Leaking gas after priming is normal, but not usually after just 1 pump. Does it just leak a little bit or leak continuously? If it's just a bit, I suspect you over primed it. If it still starts afterwards, I don't think there's an issue. Cheers
@ it will leak 4-5 drips on the floor after pressing the button one time that’s it. I still starts everytime and does leak consistently I think I’ll just keep it the way it is would do you think?
@hamzamouslmani if it leaks all the time, running or not, the most likely cause is a faulty needle valve inside the carburetor. If it only leaks when you prime it, consider tipping it slightly with carb tilted upwards. This will likely force the fuel down the throat of the carb, into the intake, instead of on the ground. Hope this helps.
@ thanks my man appreciate a lot!
Mine runs the same, I guess I got used to the redmax blowers
Hope it helped. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers

Do all recyclers have the auto choke? Toros manual is really badly done!
Auto choke systems are dependent on engine types, not mower brand. So no is the short answer to your question. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
Thanks for this video. I was given this snowblower by my sister. It had been sitting for years, but barely used. It ran, but surged a lot, and required partial choke. While tearing it down to clean it, when I took the float bowl apart, a needle fell out that has a small clip on one end. You barely mention that piece in the video, but I think I see how it goes back together. Also, just next to the primer hose “port”, there is a much smaller “port” that nothing appears to connect to. Is that correct?
Could be just a vent. Just make sure all ports and passageways are clean before reassembly. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
I have the same issue definitely going to try this fix. If you still have this machine are you able to do a video on the drive belt? I can’t find any videos and it almost seems like when I engage my drive the belt loosens so I am thinking I have an issue with the tensionor.
I no longer have this machine. Most snowblowers have cables that you can adjust the tension of to help with your possible issue.
Thank you very much. I plan on trying this myself soon. I have a new model, but I am sure the steps are very similar.
Most will be very similar. Good luck.
I've had one of these sitting in my garage for 7 years now, now I have an idea of where to start. Thanks so much for this video!
Hope it helps! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
Thank you for making this video M8
My pleasure! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
Got mine going today cleaned carb but only runs with choke on. Gonna try clean again and remove gas tank and clean rust out idk why they didnt use plastic tanks.
Good luck. I agree that plastic would be a better choice for small engines. Cheers
Engine is kawasaki fc150v i have the same engine in my mower
Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
Mine moves on it's own and the augar moves on it's own.. Went back through the manual and everything and can't figure out what to do.
That is odd that both systems would be engaged all the time. Sounds like the cables are out of adjustment
@@brantsmallenginerepairs Figured it out. So yes, it was the cables but specifically theres a weird loop and spring and that loop was oddly on the bottom side of where it pins in... This makes zero sense unless you're looking right at it. I moved the "loop" to the top of the lever on the right side and it fixed it.. The cables were too tight due to that "loop".
I'm likely getting ready to do the same thing on my Husqvarna snowblower. Do you have to do anything with the valves or timing or anything when you put a brand new head on?
Yes, you definitely have to adjust valves when replacing the head on this type of engine.
@brantsmallenginerepairs I think I will try a helicoil first
@MikeMurphyinc nothing to lose
Thank you so much. Excellent instructions. You saved me a lot of money.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
Need to vent the tank, possible Cab vent clogged ,or tank vent clogged.
Thanks for the suggestion. It ended up being a sticky anti-backfire valve. A non-vented tank would create a vacuum and not allow fuel to flow from it. As I showed in the video, there was fuel flowing out of the line that enters the carb.
Thank you very much for the helpful video! I was able to locate the belt/pulley on my (slightly different) mower and there was a wood chip stuck there. We had a tree removed earlier this year so our yard is probably full of little bits like that. A moment with some pliers and I was back in business. RUclips saves the day again!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
You are smart guy! Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
Thank you this is wat I was looking for. The one on left is one I got and if u ain't got the spring on that seat u ain't got that it leaks gas every where

Tilting it like this can put oil intonthebintake
The engine is mounted sideways so no oil entered the air filter.
Flip it on its rear end like the other rer’s

Glad to help. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
my firman 1200 leaks fuel too - but cant find anyone local who will work on it.
Small engine mechanics are a dying breed. Everything is going to throw away electric junk.
Why do you keep lifting the mower?
I was trying to allow the primer fuel to drip more on the intake side than out the air filter side
I have the exact same mower model. Out of the blue, the starter was experiencing the same symptoms shown here. When I went to look at it, I noticed the starter was loose. After pushing it back into position, the electric start worked. Looking further I discovered the starter's mounting screw was missing. So I just need to get a new screw of the right size so I can securely mount the starter.
Great job trouble shooting your problem. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
@@brantsmallenginerepairs Just to followup, there are actually 2 mounting screws for the starter, and my second one was loose. Removing it allowed me to determine the right size for the replacement screw.
Having only one belt for that large amount of snow that machine can throw is disappointing. Typical MTD cheeping out while ariens have 2 belts which prevent most belt slipping which makes the snow get throw farther.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
replaced friction disc which has some play in it after tightening ,used old thrust washer, i its purpose to stop the play in disc ?
A new one shouldn't make much difference honestly. Unless the old one was in really rough shape. Are you sure it was the proper replacement part? Did you tighten the nuts properly? Shouldn't be much play.
@@brantsmallenginerepairs the replacement drive disc was matched up to a aftermarket disc that is slightly larger but fit unit, that must be the problem?
@@TimLongeway it's possible but hard to say for sure without seeing the unit
Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
Yo thanks for this! I fixed mine no problem.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers

Thank you awesome comparison
My pleasure. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
What a great video....well done. I have the same snowblower and it runs a bit rich. Any recommendation for adjusting the carb to have it run a bit more lean?
How do you know it's running rich? Is it blowing black smoke? If it's a non-adjustable carb then the only way it would be running rich is a jet that got drilled out too big or there is a restriction in air flow entering the carb. I'd start there.
@@brantsmallenginerepairs The spark plug is black, carboned up. No idea if a jet was drilled. No smoke at all. I'll check it out, thanks for the info.
WHAT!!! That's amazing. Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
I need help , when i pulll either trigger to unlock the diff so it can turn better it doesnt unlock for me, but when i pull both triggers it will go in neutral. Confused. Never had it apart before
Usually when you pull the trigger, it releases a planetary gear and allows the tire to free wheel. Each handle has its own independent cable and gear. Not sure why they won't work individually but work if both are engaged. I'd have to see it to diagnose.
Same Mower, same problem! Awesome video, worked great! Thanks!
