Thank you
Np. Thanks for commenting!
He forgot to mention that he hit something? 🤦♂️
Haha yeah, well in his defense, it was rental property mower that the tenant uses. I doubt the tenant admitted to hitting something haha
How frequently do I need to change the fuel filter? Does the oil drain out the fill port or is there a separate exit? Professional vid, thank you!
I hardly ever replace fuel filters. Most are inside the gas tank and only clean them out when a running issue occurs and no fuel flows. Compressed air cleaned them. If they are in line fuel filters I just inspect them, replace if dirty. Most new mowers dump the oil out the fill tube now. Run the engine to get the oil warm and mixed up with the sludge that settles on the bottom. Then dump to the side with the exhaust downward and the carb up towards the sky.
@@SHONEY21Z Thank you for the quick reply! When I was inspecting the right wheels I tilted the mower air intake down. Oil got on the air filter (oops) . I will replace the air filter. Do you think anything else got messed up that I should look into (spark plug?)?
@@MKSchmitt13nah it should run, might smoke for a minute or two but it’ll burn off. Could pull the spark plug and clean it if you want to. Not necessary tho
The link in the comments isn’t able to be clicked or copied and pasted . What’s the name of the video on your page
ruclips.net/video/zCkU0gZdBFI/видео.html see if this works
I got the same mower . It didn't work for me.
Are the gears stripped or worn?
@@SHONEY21Z No . Gears aren't stripped.but it's hard to push . I think it's the transmission.
Yeah or jammed belt
I gave you a thumbs up on your advice but that Craftsman still a piece of crap
lol yup
You have to pump at 10 times flip switch don't pull trigger.my Stihl 2pump .... start
Are you telling me how to start a small engine?
@@SHONEY21Z not really it's just hard for me to count to 10
I just count to five twice
I'm from Texas
lol
I have a parts bike that has the exhaust in great shape Wanting to sell the bike.
I finished the bike over winter. Here’s that video. You shouldn’t have any issue selling yours. Trail-bike restoration: Maverick Gemini SST50 ruclips.net/video/NhN-49CCHYo/видео.html
Lol i jut held it and turned….. wtf
Held what?
How do I clean bad gas
Out of the carb? Or out of the tank? Best practice is to drain the tank and rinse with clean gas. Add fresh gas and prime the carb to flush the lines and the carb from the old gas.
@@user-mq4oc5wv2x pour it out
Had the same exact problem. Bought the part and after the part arrived, the mower seemed to work fine so I never installed the part.
That’s weird. Maybe it just got stuck that one time.
Well, THAT was easy, Richard! 😉🔧👍
Very easy. Who’s Richard? Lol
@@SHONEY21Z Jeez, I thought that was your name! I must have seen someone else address you that way and assumed it was. Sorry! Care to enlighten us? 😉
Jed but you can call me shoney 👍👍
@@SHONEY21Z Jed it is!👍
Not to be that guy but did you try and start it? many times it is operator error. I always dump the fuel and add fresh, then I start the saw. Ther 025/250 has always been a great saw.
Yeah I guess I shouldn’t filmed that part. I pulled it with the choke to get it to Hickok but it didn’t. So I opened the throttle and pulled 30 times to see if it may have just been flooded but that didn’t work either. Then I started filming for a carb clean. If the chain is dull, makes a lot of dust, and gets through that airfilter and into the fuel system.
Nope I’ll just buy a new one my cord just snapped and my back up weed eater the piston keeps slamming the gap on my spark plug I’ll spend the 120 to 150 for a new one
😂
I’ve developed a method for installing the needle, lever, axle and spring that is dead easy using silicone/dielectric grease to hold pieces together. The grease washes away easily as the engine fires. I use a large set of tweezers and the open tube of grease, inserting first the spring into the tube and then setting in its location in the carb. Then the axle is dipped into the grease and inserted into the lever. Lastly, the top of the needle is greased and set in place into the lever. All ready to install, making sure to have the screw and screwdriver close at hand to install. I make sure the axle is offset more or less correctly to fit and in everything goes! Easy peasey, even for fumble fingers or sausage fingers! 🔧👍
I always use the appropriate gauge to confirm the lever height is correct. They usually are, but those few times they aren’t means removing and partially disassembling the carb again. Takes no time to check.
Pretty good technique. Might have to try that. I’ve been pretty lucky with getting the needle and rocker in without the spring launching across the garage but I feel like that time is coming haha
@@SHONEY21Z My method is SO easy! I came up with it in this application, but to be fair it’s a riff on others who apply grease to fasteners to prevent them from falling out of sockets during installation.
Thanks for sharing!
I worked on a pair of these Mantis tillers early this year from the same customer. One they’d had for many years and one was a newer backup so it was interesting to see the changes. Great little machines!
They are pretty awesome. They are in high demand around me in the northeast.
@@SHONEY21Z Cape Cod here. 👍
If you got it to fire then you’ve eliminated 4 of the 5 components necessary - air, compression, timing and spark. The only thing left of FACTS is fuel. 🔧👍
Never hear facts before. I like that
@@SHONEY21Z Really? I don’t know where I got it - maybe a high school shop teacher on RUclips during the Pandemic. Anyhow, after I learned and started using that my diagnostic capabilities have definitely improved. Now when I hear fuel, spark, air I realize how incomplete that was, despite it being used by generations. FACTS is always foremost in my mind when I go into a job and whenever I’m wondering which way to go next I really think about what all those five entail, including things like blocked exhaust ports, which are really part of “air”.
After the many videos I searched trying to figure this out, your video was the most helpful. Thank you very much for that!
Glad it helped. And thanks for sharing!
Well done!!
Thank you sir. Longer vid than I wanted but wanted to explain things a little better
@@SHONEY21Z sometimes the vids have to be longer than you want.. I edit to keep them snappy and sometimes they are just long lol.. your doing great
Thanks. Little of both I guess
I haven't seen one of these lil guys in a while.. can't wait to see if it runs
Great machines. Highly sought after in my area
@@SHONEY21Z This winter I am gonna start buying broken machines off EBAY .. stuff I can't find down here in Fl to make vids on them.. tillers and snow mobiles and stuff..
Idk how many snowblowers you’ll find in Florida haha
@@SHONEY21Z Thats why I gotta buy em online and have em shipped down just to make the vids.. gotta cover all kinds of machines even when I can't get em here lol
I have the issue of not making enough winter equipment vids and my channel takes a huge dip in the winter. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have a Yard Machines Y2500 trimmer. The carb looks the same. Do you think it' the same Rebuild Kit 🤔. Thanks for your video it's really helpful
Does the carb have any numbers on it? Or words? There’s not that many different carbs. Most are either zama or walbro. Unless replaced with a Chinese aftermarket brand
that came out lookin sweet! loved the borescope view... you sold me i'm going to give your tank sealer method a shot in the near future... thank you
Welcome. It’s the best option for the really rusty tanks.
it sure did clean up nicely great work... i'm piecing back together a 1970 zebra trail mini bike "she's in real rough shape" it wont come close to how nice your gemini came out but it will live and ride again ... thank you for sharing your restoration
Thanks for watching and sharing your story. I hope the bike comes together for you. This video was fun to make, too bad it didn’t get many views but I sure did have fun bringing this bike back to life. Let me know if you get your bike running!
In the upper shaft there's a plastic funnel and a cable. Is the cable n plastic attached together or separate. In other Word s the cables spins freely wo the cable.
I’m pretty sure it’s separate. The cable should be square at the end and slides into the bell housing.
Your Vi-Tee-Oh's.... lol
Lol
My T15 screw is turning but that silver piece won't come off. What's up with that?
Did you block the piston from turning?
Also, there’s a link to a video in this video description that has a more detailed step by step version of this repair. That may help explain things better
Love the videos great teacher Shoney
Gracias mi hombre
Great video. Very helpful. Got a HV with a kohler on it for free. Got it all cleaned up, she fired right up and ran great….. except where in the HE double hockey sticks is this fresh oil coming from. Hard to see up in there but this video helped me narrow it right down.

@@SHONEY21Z 45 minutes start to finish.
Wow awesome! When I don’t have to record and the gasket comes off easy I can do it that fast, but that’s rare.
Thank you so much for the walk through on how to do this. Ordered the rebuild kit like you recommend and my problem has been solved.
Awesome, love hearing about success stories!
I thought you said anything I got to take a carburetor apart
I start my Stihl weed eater with a couple of pumps and crank it this son of a b****light brain surgery
Excellent video! Thanks.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting
You helped me big time! I've never messed with a carb before. Nailed it! Now it runs but it runs really slow and stalls. If I shoot air i in the filter box it runs perfectly. I'm not a smart mechanical person. So I don't know what to do next. Thanks for the help.
Shoot air? Like with an air compressor? Sounds like either that choke isn’t opening or the throttle is sticking (or hooked up wrong) there are two butterfly gates in the carb, both allow more or less air to increase or decrease the engine speed. The choke is closer to the outside of the carb, usually on a manual lever or autochoke. It’s closed to start the machine but then you manually open the choke or hear automatically opens it. The other butterfly is the throttle, that’s usually hooked up to the govenor and Anita the speed to normal operating speed around 3000 RPMs. You need to see if the choke is opening first. If it is, look to see if the throttle is hooked up right and that the butterfly isn’t stuck closed.
@@SHONEY21Z yep, air compressor
@@SHONEY21Z found out it's leaking water so it's done
The pump is leaking water? They can be replaced. Usually about $65-$70 on Amazon.
@@SHONEY21Z thanks, I'll look into it
Just installed a new carb and plug on mine and it still won’t start (this is after I took apart and cleaned two carbs I had on hand as well). I would assume at this point there may be carbon build up in the cylinder? I even poured a little fuel into the cylinder in hopes that it would help but nothing. Any tips?
Compression. Was ever run with straight gas? Does a compression test or pull the exhaust and look at the condition of the side of the piston. If that’s good check if you have spark, the coils could go bad and finally make sure fuel lines are in the correct position. If none of this. If it’s none of that, my guess would be bad crank seals or the O-ring at the back of the engine
@@SHONEY21Z turns out i don’t have spark 😂
Test to see if it’s the plug or coil
@@SHONEY21Z had 3 different plugs. My money is on the coil at this point. Going to order a new set of torx bits and replace it since I lost my set. Thanks for all the info.
I replaced with new carb , fuel lines, fuel filter, spark plug and still wont fire up! What is left?
Compression. Was it ever run with straight gas? Do a compression test or pull the exhaust and look at the condition of the side of the piston. If that’s good, check if you have spark, the coils could go bad, and finally, make sure fuel lines are in correct position. If it’s none of that, the only the left would be bad crank seals and not worth fixing.
Same issue here, replaced everything. Maybe Got bad new carb. I used thumb over spark plug hole and blows my thumb off so I believe compressing is good, it has spark. Gonna try starting fluid see if I can get it to pop at least. How can you test crank seal.? I'm stumped on this one😅
@@thomastrotier4267if you pull the back cover off, these have an o-ring that seals the back of the crankcase. You can check that it’s in good shape and not pinched. The carb you got is aftermarket? If it doesn’t pop with squirting fuel directly in, check the timing on the flywheel. Try different spark plugs, and finally pull the exhaust and make sure the piston isn’t scratched. Might as well check the spark arrestor at that time too.
Great video! Short, to the point, and it works great!
Thanks for commenting! Glad it worked out
How do you remove the coil wire
To replace it? Is the coil bad or the wire torn? Some coil wires screw into the cap and the coil. Some are sealed at factory
You just saved another fs55r. Thanks!!
Happy to help. Thanks for sharing!
It not working for me it just keeps spinning 6:10
I have the same model. Bought used, it runs on starter fluid, but despite having a brand new carburetor it won't run on gas.
The carb you installed, is it adjustable? Could be out of adjustment. Also, it’s possible that the compression is low and needs a valve job.
@@SHONEY21Z It is adjustable! I got it running after I figured out how to adjust the carb. Thank you!

Haha, Ok thanks buddy, but I’m good
my question is, how do I remove that plastic cap, someone online said to melt a screw in it that fits and so I did but it bites after it cools but I can't get it to come off
I’ve use a small pick, a heated screw, a regular screw and a sharp flat mini screwdriver to get it out. Takes some patience but you’ll get it out.
Just got mine done after watching this! I have a 20383 so I didn't have to pull the wheels and all the back guards with the design change. Also no grommet, just a bracket. Great, and well produced how-to video! Thanks!

Thank you sir. Thanks for commenting
Your ads for other videos cover up how to get the tab in the hole.
Thanks. I’ll go in and try editing the end screen
Very helpful. I will try these steps on my brand new craftsman that won't start
Make sure you have compression and spark before starting the carb
If the primer bulb has to be replaced where do you buy that?
amzn.to/3Sr4ssx. Just double check the size. I’m not sure what model you have. There is dimensions in the pictures
Nice job! Is that flux core?
Yeah. 110v. Works good for what I need it for. Lots of deck repairs, brackets, handles, etc
Good job! I’ve had those carbs apart but for some reason I don’t remember that main jet being removable. Maybe I was working on a slightly different model. Someone else mentioned increasing your audio volume. At the loudest sequences it was fine - just variations in volume from one clip to another, so I had to adjust volume at least three times. More consistent volume is what’s really needed. Great editing, by the way - I always appreciate speeding up fastener sequences.
Thanks for the feedback. When there’s outside noises it affects the pickup of my voice. I have a mic but I don’t like using it because it doesn’t sound natural. Maybe I’ll try a few vids again with the mic.
No matter what I try.....I can't get the torx screw off that holds the clutch drum on. This one I'm working on is a Craftsman.....but as you know it's the same. My screw is a T30 and it looks as if someone may have messed it up. Any suggestions. I sure hate to drill it.
That’s a tough one. Stripping that screw is a major ordeal. I would search Amazon/harbor freight or anywhere you can think of for a long skinny stripped bolt extractor. Another option I’ve seen ppl try is hammer a flathead into the bolt head to try and make new groove and turn it that way. I’ve also seen this done with a slightly larger torx T-handle
