Hey Don I'm watching this 10 whole years 2020 after you made it in 2010. Congratulations for keeping me on for all this time. Thanks for putting this up.

I'm a retired GM engineer (INN LATE 60'S) and LOVE to work on/fix things. Your carb rebuild video was WELL DONE and just what I needed to guide me thru the job. Thanks for sharing, we need more tech folks in the USA to keep it functioning well. GOOD JOB!
Great example of how a fix-it video should be done. Good focused close-up views, no stumbling around, good pace, well-planned. Thanks for a good clear explanation of everything needed. You just won over another new subscriber.
I have to say this,Our ride on broke down,so i resorted to pulling out a lawn mower we had in shed for i would say ten years.Living in Ireland we need to act when the sun shine`s as it`s a rare occasion....It never really worked to be honest,that`s why it ended up in the shed,anyway,i came a cross your videos and i took it apart and followed all your videos.....To my shock i got it started!!!!!!! All thanks to your clear, concise videos....Thanks so very much for all your informative help....My other half works abroad and he was shocked i done it..I think we are the only people on the planet with this lawn mower as i cant find any info on it.......Thanks a million Ruth x
Hurricane Irene is bearing down on us here in Eastern NC. I had someone who was going to throw out a generator that had not been cranked in 8 years. Instead I got it , changed the spark plug, and followed your video. She fired right up and we are good to go when the power goes out....Thanks!!
Awesome video! Got an old lawn mower from my grandfather as a house warming gift. Only used half a season, but has been sitting for 12 years. He had drained the gas, but when I went to fire it up, gas just poured out of the air filter though the carb. Other research told me it was the float. This video was so easy to follow! Took of the bowl, cleaned it and the exposed part of the float, and was good to go! Thanks for the video
Thank you so much for this video instruction. After I changed spark plugs, air filter, fuel, removed rust off the coil/flywheel, etc.....my mower still would not start. But when I simply removed and cleaned and reinstalled the bowl around the carb float, and the mower started right up and now runs as new!! Awesome!! Thank you again!
Kudos to you donyboy73....and to others like you who take the time to share their knowledge....
I have zero small engine experience.....And after being in storage for nearly 10 months, my Troy Bilt Storm 2840 snowblower was DOA today.
Your vid taught me enough to get the carb off and give it a good cleaning....I just got it all back together, filled the tank, engaged the electric starter and it fired right up.
Thank you so much!
Saw a mower on Facebook today, "free to collector, non starter spares or repair" it has this same engine. It already had a new spark plug so I searched and found your video. I stripped the carb and did exactly what you did.........and the mower started first time! Happy days and cheers for the vid mate. All the best from Swansea, UK.
Donyboy73 definitely has the best Briggs & Stratton carburetor video, I would just like to add if you are still having problems with your lawn mower dying out try changing the fuel line if you haven't already.
Thank you for your video, I tried fixing my lawn mower three times before coming across your video. One time I had the carburetor dismantled and cleaned it. Apparently not well enough, so after watching your video I followed through with all the steps you showed and wallah she started right up and kept on humming.
Thank you so much for your video! Your first step, cleaning the bowl was all I needed to get my lawnmower running again. I really appreciate people making excellent content like this and making it so easy to find and use for free.
Lucky bastard
I'm going to attempt just removing the bowl on my mower tonight to see if that alone will help.
Just wanted to say thanks. Just fixed my Troy Bilt mower using this video. You rock. Saved me a trip to the small engine guy. Pressure cleaner is next on the fix list!
As usual. clear, simple, and straight to the point with no meandering or detours.
Well done. Thank you, DonyBoy73.
Great video! As a 54yr. young gal I was able to find a two carbs, remove them, clean 'em and reattach 'em without losing a part!!! (Push and Rider) Would not have attempted it without this great video. Thank so much, you saved me a bundle. Lawn mowers runs great! Now to sharpen the blades.
I dismantled and cleaned the carburetor on my B&S 675 yesterday. A little different but close enough. I found the needle had some gunk on it it took 5 minutes to scrape it off and burnish with a very fine sanding stick. I sprayed starter fluid in rather than carb cleaner then cleaned the jets the same way. I needed a replacement air filter/carburetor gasket and found it at a Sears parts/repair shop.
The procedure was very easy and the mower runs like it was new. Thanks very much!
I've got the feeling my B&S lawnmower's carb is going to require a thorough cleaning, including removal. Your video will most certainly help. Very well done from lighting to camera work... wonderful detail.
No manual necessary. Thanks!!!
Thanks very much! This is the same lawnmower I agreed to service for a friend. I'm not a mechanical guy, I've never worked on a carburetor before, but with this and a couple of other HD videos on carburetor tune-ups, I was able to get it right on the first try. It started up on the second pull! Woo-hoo! Thanks very much for this video. 7+ years and still helping us out!
Thank you sir, after a career in mental health that ended due to budget issues, I am going to school for small engine repair in September you are an excellent teacher.
Thanks and God Bless
jonathan bosco you're welcome
best carburator video i have seen, gng to fix my lawnmower next weekend, dnt want to cut my yard with the weedeater again... thanks for step by step explanation i would not have had any idea of even how to start...
i have an XR600 that I had not run in about 3 years. A mechanic friend of mine told me to make sure I drain the old fuel out of it before starting it..
I should have listened. I put fuel in it today and took it for a run. Petrol was flowing out of the tube off the carb.
Seeing this vid I have the confidence to take the bowl off and give it a clean. Fingers crossed that is all i need to do.
Great video.
Hello Dony,
You and Steve have helped me a lot over the year with y'alls well narrated and informative videos. I have made some different carburetor/brake cleaner tips for different angles and size jets/passage ways. I use a lighter or torch 2 barely heating the red spray extension tube and make the sizes and shapes I need. I heat them about a 1/2" from the end and stretch it 2 desired size and or direction for example a 90 degree angle for the little holes inside the carburetor. By stretching the red tubes makes the outside and inside diameter of them smaller. Easier 2 get in those small jets and your carburetor/brake cleaner can will last twice as long. Thank y'all from (D.R. Small Engines) and keep it up!
donyboy73, thanks a million for this great video. Not only did it help me clean the carb on my Briggs and Stratton lawn mower engine, but you did it without talking too much about meaningless crap like other folks. I love how your video is straight and to the point so I can spend less time watching and more time doing!
I am not a mechanical person but thanks to this video, I had the confidence to service my mower, which had not worked properly for some time. Today, it started first time and runs like a charm. Thanks!
Thank you for this. Helped me with my snow thrower didn't spend any money just time. Now the snow thrower starts up on first pull and that's just amazing. They say we got snow coming this weekend and I am now ready for it! 1/2/2015. Thank you for your very detailed clear video on how to do this!
you're welcome
I have a similar Briggs and Stratton engine on my mower and it was giving me problems starting. It would start and run and not start again if I shut it off. I took it apart and removed and cleaned just the carb. bowl and nut. I wasn't confident enough to remove the whole carb so I just sprayed cleaner thru the hole where the butterfly is. Got it back together and it runs fine. Thanks so much for your video. It helped a lot!
been 20 years since I cleaned a lawn mower carb. Followed your excellent video and my briggs started on the first pull. THANK YOU!
Excellent video very well explained and 100% correct. I've been working on Briggs and Stratton engines since the late 1980'S and you've done a perfect job of the carburettor and an equally good job of carefully explaining how to do each step. This will help out lots of folks to get their lawnmower running again.
thanks
I did this with my Craftsman 2700 PSI, 2.3 GPM Briggs & Stratton Powered Pressure Washer and it worked. THANK YOU!!!
Excellent how-to, many thanks. First time really disassembling any carburetor. My problem was that it was very dirty inside, clogged jets (especially the jets on the screw) worn seat and corroded needle. Originally it wouldn't run an leaked gas from the carb. Just got finished with it and its working great. A small drill but works well for removing the old seat, its the method I used. Also for anyone wondering the needle/seat kit is part # 398188 and costs about $5.
One of the best maintenance videos I have ever seen on RUclips... and that's a lot. Clear, concise and thorough. Thank You!
Dude talks calm and matter of fact... Good instructions, excellent video!
I do it the easy way.....always use clean gas, and lately Non-ethanol from a local marina , plus replace or tap out the air filter. Bought the mower in 1991.....so 23 years and have yet to clean the carb. Good video....saved it for possible future use.
I have this exact same carb setup which has no idle and runs rough. Experience over the years tells me to do exactly what you have shown but it's nice to see all the steps illustrated. Small motors have carb problems all the time due to running in dirty environments and sitting a lot. A fuel tank can draw moisture over time, even if it is covered so I suggest the use of "Stabil" gas treatment for stored motors, especially 2-strokes! Very good job on your video. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Great useful advice just stripped and cleaned my neighbours carb and started first time. Used a butane cylinder which really cleaned the jets spotless as I did not have an air line. Thanks for posting useful advice - just earnt myself a free beer!
This is one of the best videos on youtube for someone wanting to learn how to clean a Briggs carburetor! I have been doing small engine repairs for 4 years (retirement hobby), and I have watched dozens of videos on cleaning a carburetor. Your video leaves nothing to say. Very thorough! Good job!
here's m high definition updated video on this ruclips.net/video/yBU86SYFjQE/видео.html
Hey Dony,
Just another thank you for this thorough video. You are so easy to understand and it gave me the confidence to take on the repair. I successfully resurrected my old lawn mower. It would not start at all. I have had it about 12 years so I guess it was past due for some TLC. It now starts with one pull every time! Im so proud- I did it all by myself!
Best regards, Cindy

I couldn't agree more. The tutorial in this video is excellent. I was able to get both my DR trimmers running perfectly again. Thanks a lot.

Donny.... you are my GO TO guy on all things 2 and 4 cycle ... hope you and the family are well... thank you and God Bless...
I love watching these videos I don't think there isn't a thing this man doesn't know about these engines, Thanks!
Many thanks. I have a 6.5 Briggs Stratton engine on a craftsman 19.5" self propelled, electric start lawnmower. 917.378381. I noticed that the bowl fastening nut had one horizontal passage that runs clear through the nut and one very small vertical passage that runs into the horizontal passage. Your suggestion to use the wire from a twisty tie was brilliant. Many thanks again & again. Now if I can get my blower engine running !

Thank you so much indeed. Very informative. The main thing you did was to patiently explained every detail slowly. My lawn mower was acting up and I was thinking what is the problem. God bless you . Great job. Thank you very much indeed
Thank you Dony! Your helpful videos have taught me to change my starter and clean the carburetor on my Briggs & Stratton mower. My husband is not at home during mowing season so I'm grateful for your knowledge and easy to follow videos! 🙂👍
YOU'RE WELCOME
Wow, an entire education about small engine carburetors. Thank you. I now feel I can tackle this job on my lawnmower next spring. I'm going to store it with fuel stabilizer for now.
donyboy73, your the best at teaching small engine repairs.
keep up the awesome work
Thanks for posting this - this was the first time I've had to disassemble the B&S carburetor on the mower due to a fuel starvation problem at full run throttle settings and poor starting. Your guide was very useful. Cleaned the blocked main jet and the engine started and ran first pull.
This worked very nice for me! Good job. Of interest to note...after I put it back together the carb was flooding. Tore it back apart and made sure the needle was seating correctly. Put it back together, no problem. Awesome vid.
You have the best small engine repair videos on You Tube, Thank you so much for providing such useful information, I recommend your channel to all my friends
This was an absolutely beautiful guide. I successfully fixed my lawnmower today because of this. Thank you so much!
This helped me so much. The first time I've cleaned a carb and it was straight forward thanks to this video. Now my old mower is running smoothly.
Very good video. For a beginner like me. Step by step. Does it matter which direction the needle sits? Does the flat part face the back?
Thank you for such a great tutorial. Simple and easy to follow but yet in depth and comprehensive. I have just cleaned and rebuilt the carb sucessfully on my Mountfield mower thanks to this video.
I don't know if you got your answer as i am not that familiar with You Tube but I have a key start Toro which seems to keep a long charge for many starts.
Problem is........ Don't wait like i did to do maintenance lol These guys on here are great. Geez if someone shave their toes and had a good way to do it they put it on here! So thanks for everyones dedication to helping your neighbors
Thanks for posting. The engine on my log splitter wouldn't start. I figured no fuel was getting through but had no clue what to look for. A friend said check the carburetor. I have no mechanical experience, although I am handy, so I had no clue how to go about this. I found this video....the engine and carb are similar not exact matches though. I followed the instructions in the video and just started the log splitter! Success!!! Thanks for saving me money by allowing me to fix it myself
Great job! I have a lightly used 1100 (on a big chipper/shredder) with the float carb and when I turn the gas shut off to the on position, gas pours out of the air cleaner tube. Previous owner probably stored old fuel in the tank without Stable. Figure it is the float hanging up with the needle suspect too. Have the confidence to remove carb after watching your video twice and will grab a rebuild kit and have at it! Many thanks!
Thank you for showing this video. You saved my lawnmowers life!! Before my lawnmower would start up then just die just like that. I found the manual for my carburetor so I can have a guide on how to put it back together again. Unfortunately, I did NOT have any carburetor cleaner. So I did some research on what i can use to clean my carburetor. Then I found this method that someone wrote down:
Very helpful video! I cleaned the carburetor and replaced a broken gasket, and it started on the first pull. Thank you.
Thank you for a very instructive video. I am trying to resurrect an old Max motor 4 hp in a Stiga Turbo 510 S, bad treated by former owner. Your video gives instruction with a nice flow and important close up pictures. Too many terrible video shakers showing a lot of pictures impossible to follow. Thank you very much!
Donyboy what a fantastic video! My mower is 23yo, it started on the usual 3rd pull and cut about 8 ft before stalling, restarted fine only to stall again as previous, third time mower wouldn't catch. I assumed the carb needed work as the plug was dry after several attempts and it was the first tank of fuel this season. Your video made this task so simple. Only difference was my carb did not have the side hole but all seemed open. Reassembled and same problem, no start, plug dry, bowl wet. Help
I was able to pay 10.00 for a mower and after watching your videos I was able to spend about 15.00 and fix everything and get it running again... THANK YOU!!
I wanted to thank you for your video. This season my 5 year old Troy Bilt pressure washer started, ran for a couple of minutes and then refused to start again. Even though I've never been an 'engine guy' I am a 'RUclips guy' so I watched your video a couple of times and then started working on my pressure washer. It At the end, everything was put back together and with a single pull on the the pull cord it started right up. So now I'm thinking about cleaning the carburetor on my Mantis tiller :)
used this cleaning process on a free craigslist mower with a 5.75 briggs quantum engine that would not crank. started on the second pull after the cleaning. many thanks !
donyboy = still the king of small engine on youtube.
Thank you for your video! You helped me fix my lawnmower and saved me some money, too. This is what makes RUclips great. Thanks, again!
make sure you're subscribed
Donyboy73 you are doing great helping us all, your videos are very clear and easy to follow God bless you.
Thanks! Couldn't get my lawnmower running. Took the bowl off, reinstalled it, and now it is running perfect!
Awesome, thanks! I was ready to buy a rebuild kit or a complete replacement carb, but tore down the carb and cleaned everything thoroughly (esp the jets+bowl) instead - my B&S Quantum 50 then started second pull on the rope and had the smoothest idle I've ever seen from it (bought second hand) and allowed me to finally get the thing in tune. Subsequent starts have occurred on the first gentle pull on the rope.
This is the same engine that wouldn't run for more than 20 seconds this morning!
No adjustable throttle, I did clean the carb 3 times and finally gave up and bought a new carb off ebay for less than $30 and now everything works fine. I guess I was just missing something in the cleaning, but thanks for video, it helped me get started rather taking it to the dealer.
donyboy73,
it is rare to find someone as selfless as you.... thank you so much!!!! a loyal fan in so cal... i wish i could do something in return.....
/midewo
Oh, my goodness! Thank you SO MUCH for this video!! My mower would not start and was less than a year old. I watched your video a few times, cleaned and reassembled my carburetor, and now she runs like a champ!! :-)
nice to hear!
Very good job... just learning small engine repair with mowers. So fascinating how all this works.
I have an almost new lawn mower, it’s been sitting without use for about two years now it won’t start, do you have a video explaining what to do to start it again? Thank you for sharing your knowledge sir.
If I would have found this video months ago it would have saved me hours of wasted work on my pressure washer. Thank you for what you do.
Adam
Hello Mr donyboy ....it me again !! This time is about
Rover 2111 --4.5 HP Quantum lawn mover .
My 86 year old friend Giovanni asked me to cut his lawn .
The lawn mover look new but it is hard to start .
Giovanni show me how to start it !...he shakes it . Of course
it is easy to understand it is a fuel problem . This story has been
going on for a few months, but lately doesn't wont to start
at all . My thought was to see if you had a video on internet
about this machine ....And like for me you do have one !!
As i watched and listened your advise
I pulled the carburetor apart it was dirty as well the petrol
in the tank .You mentioned the adjustment screw to come
out ONE and HALF TURN ... Is this the same for our
lawn mover too? Because the screw was ONE TURN OUT .
Thank you TONY D from Australia .
Thank you very much for posting this. It made me see how easy carb maintenance can be, so I did it and got my lawn tractor running again. I used a lot of your ideas and they worked. Many, many thanks for your help!!!
Well done on your video. It was so easy to follow your instructions and you saved me from taking my mower for a service as now there is no hunting anymore. Thank you very much!!!
Hi Donyboy,i just viewed your tutorial on the carb cleaning for the quantum mower.It was just what i needed to get my old mower back on track! Thank You !! I will be watching for anything else that you produce. Wayne B. in the D! DETROIT !!!!
Great thank you. Cleaned the carb out and found some corrosion . Also found a lot of debris in the pipe from the fuel tank to the fuel valve/tap before the filter. Change this pipe too and it now it runs really well.
Thanks for the video. I'm about to do a carb rebuild on a Quantum 5 HP. You've saved me a bunch of time. I usually just figure it out as I go along. Take care.
Thanks for the video. My 20 year old lawn mower would start but not stay running. After cleaning the carb and replacing the fuel line it runs great!
Thanks for your time and effort in putting this together and making it available. I just bought a used mower and this is pretty much all I think it needs, and I haven't torn into a small engine in years. This reminded me of all the stuff I had forgotten. Cheers!
I'm at a loss. Currently mower (B&S 650 series) will start with starter fluid sprayed in and then immediately shuts off. I replaced spark plug for good measure as well. So far, I've pulled the bulb and cleaned the bold like you showed. It was in fact gunked up. I cleaned the jets. Gas seems to be making it into the bulb area ok and all. I put it back together and same thing. As far as I can tell, everything is cleaned like you showed (First time trying this so...) But no luck.
Great camera work. Your video is excellent because you show every small and important detail. Thanks!
Thank you. I just did what you said and I am now waiting for delivery. Bravo.
thank you, I forgot to slide the needle in the float slot. Your video showed it clearly and now I'm pressure washing again!
This is great except for one thing. How did you get the engine so clean before you start the job? Dish washer?
You have a real gift of producing quality and helpful videos. I have viewed numerous videos (small-engine & snow-blower related). Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time!
You helped a non-mechanic get his tiller up and running. Thank you!
Thank you. Not the same engine but it gives me an idea of what to look for and more importantly what tools I will need. Hopefully the carburator cleaning and valve adjustments will do the trick !
Thanks for reponding so quickly !
And again much appreciated !
Thanks for taking the time with this great video.I never worked on mowers and your video sorted out my problem --Big thanks.
Thank you sir for a great video of how to repair of the briggs and stratton quantum carb. It is a very clear and detailed video and makes repairing the lawnmower an easier task. I find it great to go back and view the video again if i can not remember the full processor while cleaning the carburetor. again thank you Danny. :)
Ray Gavin you're welcome, make sure to watch the updated HD version as well, links are under this vid
Glad I eventually found your video! Unlike other videos for 3.5 Briggs engines this looks exactly like the one on my 1990 mower. It's a 3.5 HP Briggs and Stratton Max. Gas went bad last winter and it stalls constantly now. I almost pulled the trigger on a new mower since I thought cleaning the carb would be complicated but your instructions make it look simple.
Great job! One of the best instructional videos I've seen.
What's the best way to winterize the engine?
Awesome Video Lots Of Knowledge .Thanks I Have A Briggs & Stratton Just Like In Your Video.I Push On The Primmer Blub And Started Leaking Gas By The Gasket On The Back Side Of The Carburetor The Primmer Blub Has A Leak.Any Ideas Thanks
Thanks. My carburetor didnt look too dirty, but I cleaned it after watching your video and my mower is running again.
Superb video man. B&S engine looks like my pressure washer and the principles are sound. You are a good teacher so please continue making your videos. Thanks again donyboy.
Молодец! Приятно видеть, что всё умеешь!!! Привет из Южной Каролины!!!
Many thanks form the informative video. My Harrier 48 has been good for the last 18 years (with regular servicing, last time a year ago) but has just developed a fault. Once primed it will run for a 5 secs or so and then stop so assume a dirty carb or fuel line ? Have some confidence now to clean the carb thanks to you and hopefully will fix it. Any other tips welcomed ?
Almost a million views on a video about cleaning a small engine carburetor! Well done you! Very useful. It seems to be the same carburetor as on my rototiller engine, a tiller that was in the garden of the house we just bought. It seems to have stood in the rain and snow for several years. We'll see if all the repairs on transmission and engine pay off.
+Andy Jensen thanks Andy
ok,heres my story. A friend of mine said i just got a new mower i couldn't figure out what was wrong with my old one, if you want you can take my old one for free its just missing the spark plug. I said shure i'll take it, then when i got it home the it wouldn't start, so i sprinkled a little gas on the air filter then it would run about 3-15 seconds. and then i tryed what you did here and it was 100% perfect! And thats the story of the freemowerme and my wallet thank you donyboy73! you rock! !
Dony what do you think of using kerosene for soaking a carburetor for cleaning and then using carburetor cleaner spray for final clean up?
