No problem. Thanks for watching

Thank you

I use #5 for mowers and snowblowers and #4 for smaller two strokes. This is what I use for mowers. amzn.to/4hwRjs4

Yes. It’s listed under the links that they are associate links.

You can usually blow the fuel filter clear with forced air into the tank of the tank is empty and the cap is off. But you can idiot test fuel flow by removing the fuel line at the carb and allowing fuel to flow into a cup. If it’s good, then it’s just clogged carb.

@SHONEY21Z You're missing the point about the fuel filter. It is letting particles through that clog the jet causing the problem. It needs a better filter.

@@MikeJones-rk1un that’s not what happened here. Rarely do I find particles in clogged carbs. It happens, but a majority of the time is old fuel that breaks down and turns to gel and then hardens, especially ethenol gas. As long as gas is flowing through the filter that’s in the tank, it’s stopping any small particles

@@SHONEY21Z I have the same machine. The filter allows particles through and into the small jet into the carb. It has happened several times to me. I assume by your comment that you have tried using non ethanol gas and had no problem like this clog?

@@MikeJones-rk1unit can definitely happen. I only use non ethanol fuel but I can’t say the same for my customers. The ethanol gas definitely gums much quicker than non ethanol. Debris I’m usually comes from your gas can.

You could try. It’s a steel bolt going into aluminum, only needs a light tightening. Can try using a tap on the threads but prob not enough metal left. If it was me, I would remove the carb, drill the threads tap and install a helicoil. Or… The aftermarket carbs for these are good enough. They are usually around $20.

No problem

Good call. Thought I made a full length video for a Honda carb clean but now seeing I didn’t. I’ll get on that this summer. I did link a video of a Honda engine carb clean for a pressure washer. It will show how to clean the carb which is 99% the same process. Thanks 🙏

My guess is the carb got gummed up from old gas. So the needle is probably sticking and now letting fuel to flow. It’ll likely need a good cleaning. You may be able to get to the main jet and needle by putting it on its front end and pulling the bowl off. But it really should be removed and cleaned well.

@ Thank you , I wil give they a shot

That’s happens to me once before. It depends where it broke. It may be fixable. Otherwise prob needs to be replaced. Does it look like this?…. amzn.to/4hd3YR6

Thanks 🙏

Glad it helped

I was say highly unlikely unless the clogged jets are barely clogged with stale gas.

Expecting 6” here in the northeast tomorrow as well. Been a very busy day today

@SHONEY21Z save me a snowblower. We don't know how to drive in that stuff. There'll be so many rear-ended cars down here.

No, have to remove the cover to be able to slide the carb off. You can only take the bowl off without removing the cover.

Still running lean. Did you remove the carb and clean everything? Including the float and needle, both main and pilot jet and the small holes in the mouth of the carb? If so, I would make sure all gaskets are there especially the intake gasket between the carb and intake. If that all looks good, I would check the valve clearance. And spark plug gap.

I have them too. Work really well when the jet is clogged with dried fuel and corrosion. Don’t need them often but work great when I do. Most ppl have wire around so I usually show vids with that. Thanks for watching!

@@SHONEY21Z awesome! Did this job on my ariens last year and stored it well without fuel, empty carb etc but lo and behold it was still surging this winter. Took no chance and slightly enlarged the hole on the pilot jet. Let's see if that permanently fixes it

See what happens

I’ve done that. I use all three. The drill bits when the hole is so dried and harness with fuel and corrosion, the torch tips for bigger jet holes that has some edge build up and the wire for tiny pilot holes that aren’t caked on but just gummed up. Thanks for watching and the tips!

🍻

Thanks for watching!

So, do you think the cause of cylinder damage is a bad fuel?

Np 🫡

Thanks my man. Glad it helped. Hoping for more snow here in the northeast!

I can’t remember haha. One came out with the spring attached, one came out easy. I think I had to twist them to come out? Like I was unscrewing it.

I just looked back at old footage, pretty sure I unscrewed the fork tubes. After unscrewing the collar at the broom of forks.

Yes sir. The smaller pilot jet is too small for torch tips. I use speaker wire usually.

And thank you for commenting!

Piece of cake. Glad to hear!

Sounds like a rattle in the clutch. Could be the washer between the clutch and the crankcase. Not anything I’d be worried about. Sounds come through the speakers different than they do in person.

Good points. I don’t always show everything I do on a snowblower because the videos would be long. Always a good idea to check for oil, as I always do but wing it ran for 3 seconds by spraying fuel in the intake it wouldn’t hurt anything. The fact that I heard no fuel being squeezed up into the intake took my mind right to clogged main jet. Since I’ve worked in hundreds of snowblowers, it’s usually pretty simple. But you never know, it’s not always the carb. I’ve seen valves out of spec, bad coils, kill switch shorted, electric start teeth stuck in the ring gear, broken rods, wrong spark plugs, you name it. Thanks for the tip!

@@SHONEY21Z You’re welcome! The rest of the video was great, especially the tip about removing the carb with the intake intact. I purchase needle seats in bulk and automatically replace them just because they’re so cheap and so easy to remove and install with the Tecumseh tool. 👍

I’ve replaced them many times and the tool comes in handy for sure.

Thank you my man. Keep up the good work saving the 🐝

It will probably work. You have to look at the output shaft. Some have a counter shaft that spins backwards. That works on the drive gear and would make the snowblower drive in reverse very fast. If they both have 1 output shaft, it should work. The bolt pattern should be the same. May need to reconfigure the pulleys a little to line up. I’ve put a 8hp tecumseh on a 5hp rototiller with light modifications, I could’ve dug a hole to India after the swap.

Awesome! Thank you! Glad I could help, hope to grow this channel for years to come. 🫡

I don’t. Donyboy the small engine doctor does I’m pretty sure. They are a pain. There are YT videos available if you can’t find donyboy’s

@SHONEY21Z great, thanks. Yeah I read the manual and was more confused than helped...lol. Still a little better than some I've read for Swedish heavy equipment though...🙂

Meaning sitting back on its wheels? It should only take about 20 seconds to fill the carb. U less there is and issue with the needle, sometimes it sticks and the carb won’t fill with gas, then you’ll need to remove the bowl and needle, and in that case, I would remove the whole carb because it’s likely there more to be cleaned than just the main jet and needle.

Shoney 2028! Glad i could help. 🍻

This is good when in a pinch and didn’t get too clogged up. Most times it’s worse than this and does need a full carb clean. Thanks for sharing

Glad it helped. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah that was my fault, I did that before I started filming, wasn’t thinking. This isn’t the first time time my dad let the carb get dirty, and he was using it regularly so I was fairly confident it was just a dirty carb. Normally if I have no history of the saw, I’d do spark and compression test first. Try a little fuel into the intake and see if it starts, then I know for sure it’s carb related. In other videos I show the steps to diagnosing non start issues. Thanks for sharing though!

Definitely don’t build them like they used to. More quiet and smooth now but with junky plastic, thin metal and paint, and conveniences that often break.

Happy new year! Def son’s cold air inbound. Might be some snow pretty far south.

Thanks for the comment

@@SHONEY21Z 1. Title too long-not SEO friendly, 2. Description too short-not have keywords, 3.tags too short-not high rank volume tags, 4.Not doing checklist 5.backlinks- need to do

@@tamimahasan5209 copy and paste. You literally don’t know anything beyond the title and description. Which is wrong

Awesome glad I could help. Happy new years!

Thanks man. Glad it worked out. 90% of the time the carb can be saved. Saving you money and usually time. Plus the oem carbs are much better quality. Thanks for sharing! 🍻

What’s wrong with it?

It could happen again. That lock washer should stay on but it’s a dumb design. If it happened again I would probably get a new lock washer or maybe melt a little of the plastic so it has a lip and won’t pop off.

@SHONEY21Z I've got a Craftsman WS210 pole saw that has been used twice that did the same thing the other day and I haven't had a chance to fix it. I think I'm going to fix it and sell it or give it away to somebody in the family and get me a Stihl.

@@FJBsaidcornpopthat’s probably a good idea.

Merry Christmas!

Never a bad idea. If I couldn’t create suction after cleaning I would’ve ordered the needle. But if held so I kept it. I’ll mention that in future videos. Thanks!

They def do work. Usually don’t use one on 4 stroke carbs but I think they are helpful with the 2 stroke carbs with diaphragms
