I once found one in the trash and repaired it. Just as I have done hundreds of times with other mowers before. All the others were resold and hopefully still run well today. This is the only one I kept. Even purchased a new bag. For some reason I like that Kohler. Just looks good to me.
Great video! I have done many of these carburetors and you did a fantastic job and this video should help many people wanting to fix their mowers.keep these videos coming!!✌✌✌
Great video. Fixed my Kohler powered lawn mower in an hour after watching. Don't have a sonic cleaner just used carb cleaner on all components and it worked.
Great video ... I use to spend my winter nights rebuilding/cleaning my carbs that needed work ... as I aged I lost the desire to do that ... found that many cheap non OEM replacement carbs sped up the process of c getting my equipment running again ... then would clean the OEM in my spare time .... just picked up a carb on amazon for my Toro 6.5 for $16 and will instal this afternoon ... when I need my stuff quickly, swapping out a replacement saves me time and frustration ...
Thank you Buck!....great video. It's not at ALL boring at all to watch you clean the jets and to reassemble. We rooks have not a clue how to. Thanks again!
The part where he sprayed the hole then put the screwdriver in and started to clean 😅 and said “oh yeah” made me tell wife let’s just go to bed early bae.. I’ll fix it tomorrow 😅😂😂😂😂 great video btw
Just want to say that's outstanding video I have a Toro it was brand new it's probably doesn't have more than 8 hours on it but it's set through the season and the winter time and stuff and it just wouldn't start and you have provided enough information that a monkey could probably do this job.
I have a Craftsman Lawnmower with a Kohler 149cc engine. We bought it around 10 years ago from Sears and (bite my tongue) but we have never had a issue with it. It sits outside year round in our Canadian arctic and hot summer months getting snowed and rained on each year. I just change the oil at the start of every spring, check and clean the spark plug if needed. Put a new air filter on it and ( i converted the fuel filter to a external one) check the fuel filter and it is good to go for the season. The only other thing I changed was a fuel line because we had a pesty mouse that likes the taste of rubber and gas. We had to give him a burial ( thank god) because the high octane gas was to much for him. The key to making it last year after year is a little maintenance and some high quality high octane gas. I will be giving this one to my son and getting myself a self propelled lawn mower for all out unlevel yard and older age lol. I will buy another Kohler engine lawnmower again.
Had one of those ran like crap. Did carb, adjust valves, coil gap, ect in the end the plug wire end on sparkplug put a normal one on fixed. I have fixed and sold many of those. Sold 55 used mowers last summer.
Those threaded holes on the top are for a different auto choke set up. Kohler changed the design either before or after and didn't have a reason to change the carb. They are simply not used here. Also, IMO, it's faster and easier to remove the top and take the choke linkage loose from the muffler than to remove the studs. Makes it easier to reassemble as well. Good vid
good vid. i dont mess with the studs though, jsy two nuts holding on the autochoke and it comes off allowing you to free the carb. Those autochokes are unreliable. . i converted mine to manual
I have 4 of these machines, and I don't know why they make small explosions, three of them do not have air filters, maybe this is because I have to adjust the valves of one of them.
Yes Man Romo wouldn't start either here I'm missing the spring that runs down and pulls the choke open or closed that's why I won't stay running and bad gas
Picked one up at a garage sale, starts and runs but as soon as you engag the drive and push forward to cut grass it dies.... also dies even if you don't engage the drive???
You did not give a chance for your viewer to decide if they wanted to watch you put the parts back into the carburetor. I think you should have left that choice to your viewer
Obviously there is a lot of skill involved in my opinion what you just did. So I'm going to have to get an estimate from the dealer what a brand new carburetor Will cost and bounce that off the option of maybe getting bad and just do a bolt on replacement take the cowards way out another words. But as a side note I am definitely not going to use anything but old-fashioned fuel not this corn fuel and I'm going to completely run it dry every time I put it away if it sits there for 30 minutes to burn everything off I don't care I want it dryer than a popcorn you know what.😊
74 years old and I don't have a table to put it on so you know take that in account before you think I'm doing something I shouldn't. If I lose one or two screws and can't find them then automatically I probably going to have to take it to a dealer anyway and he's going to charge me the dealer's rate per hour and possibly I can get a brand new carburetor for less than two or three hours labor whatever they want to charge So economically I think it might be a wash and so that's what we're going to do and I'll provide feedback and see how that went so everybody is interested will know. Cancer thank you very much.
It helped me. It would be hard to do if you didn't have a tripod or one of those cameras strapped to your forehead. This particular motor must be a different year than mine. Some of the linkages aren't the same as mine. I'll figure that out when I reassemble mine. I have to get a couple of gaskets that are torn. I've already cleaned mine out. It's ready for reassemble.

Did you drain gas tank and clean? Don’t remember seeing that.
Great video. Fixed my Kohler powered lawn mower in an hour after watching. Don't have a sonic cleaner just used carb cleaner on all components and it worked.
I use torch tip cleaner to clean the orfices on the carb. it has different sized tips. great video.
One of the best vlog. Fixed mine last year similar way. Always learn some thing different and continue learning. Thanks.
Best video on my Toro starting problem ! Thank you!
I’m impressed with the technique to remove stud by using 2 nuts!! I’m a 5 gen plumber and I just learned somthn today!! Great Video
Thank you so much!

Great detailed repair, runs great now. Thanks

Very good video thank you for the video
I like the way you explain that very well and you right if you can do it so can I
Amazing job❤
Hi, great video. What are the dimensions of the air filter? I can not get the correct size from amazon
Thanks you just answered my question. Thanks alot
Nice work

Is that huge gasket OEM, or aftermarket? Looks weird. 😮 18:31
I’m about to do this, I’ll update if it works, which it should.
Have that same engine on a Lawnboy.
Get a tea ball to keep small loose parts in . 😮16:38
I never clamp off close to tank just in case it has a inline inside filter
Just some advice Sir 😊
good vid. i dont mess with the studs though, jsy two nuts holding on the autochoke and it comes off allowing you to free the carb. Those autochokes are unreliable. . i converted mine to manual
"..if you put your mind to it."
So it's mind over mower!

Main jet is plugged. Running on idle jet.
@@billhenry7833 cleaned the carburetor... main jet was plugged thank you.... my $5 dollar garage sale lawnmower is running like a Swiss watch 😂
Why didn't you just remove the thermostat from the muffler to remove the linkage,you didn't need to remove studs

Calm down and be grateful

Hard times now and every one is dragging their old stuff out and trying to fix it
Biden days are terrible 😢
That old stuff is better than this new plastic crap they are pushing down our throats.
god even the maga cult are here..
@@cliveyoung3619yes Sir the wiser people 😮
@@philliphall5198 lol i hardly think so
@@cliveyoung3619truth of the matter is he's right
Should just take off the thermostat
