Easy way to clean a metal Briggs carberator
Carb Spray is also Called Ethyl Ether or Starting Fluid
I worry about metal scoring the brass so I've used natural or plastic broom bristles and even a bristle from a tooth brush on small holes.
Also aren't you supposed to not remove the main jet on some carbs and try to clean it left in place?
I bought an old ariens snowblower at an estate sale. My wife called it a pos that will never run. After watching this video let's just say we proved her wrong! Thanks Steve!
Right on Scottie!
@Sottie D, in your eyes, you proved her wrong, But after 38 years of marriage..... I've found my wife is only 'mistaken' ! Some points ain't worth making! Lol
@@JohnSmith-tv5ep Any chance I get John. I don't have to use Google as she knows it all! LOL
@@downunderdave5417 Smart woman! I would venture to say then,. She's a great... "financial advisor and/or planner" also??
I have been married 12 years and I know how my wife thinks..... When she heard it running I didn't say anything I just looked at her and smiled!
Previous owners of our house left the snowblower. It wouldn't start until I tried your trick. You're a blessing Steve! Thank you
Right on. That's awesome!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Steve is the best, most informative small engine mechanic I have ever seen. LOVE his videos!
WOW! Thank You...
If a paper clip is too big for the jet holes, try the wire inside a twist tie from bread or stuff at the grocery store. Just peel off the plastic or paper and use the wire to gently clear the jet passages. Make sure you clean out inside of the bowl while you are doing this so that the jet does not instantly reclog itself.
Also, a tiny sewing needle might work.
I'm planning to fix my Brother's 8 HP Briggs Engine and plan to spray out carb bowl with carb cleaner after freeing the dirt from jets.
Thank you so much! This was exactly the situation that I had with my Craftsman 5/22 snowblower. My father originally bought it back in the mid 90's. I had only ever cleaned the carburetor once (bought a kit as well) when my mother still owned it and I used it for clearing her long, double-wide driveway.
After I inherited it, I kept in the shed out back in the summer and in my garage in the winter where it would be handy. I did the routine maintenance and always ran it for a while before moving it between seasons. In 2022, I had run it in the fall when moving it to the garage but then when I needed it after a heavy snowfall, it would not run! I dreaded having to get the kit and clean the carburetor so it has sit in the garage since. This year after several days of snow and shoveling every day, we finally had a snowstorm that dumped eight inches of snow (although it looked like more depending on where you were at). There was no way I was shoveling anymore so I decided to clean the carburetor. I got my tools, moved the snowblower and removed the cover. Then in an act of procrastination, I figured I would look up some videos as a review. The title of this video caught my eye and also the fact that the snowblower pictured looked a little older, more like the one I have.
OMG - It was exactly the same situation. In a matter of minutes the snowblower was running! I cleared my driveway and sidewalk, and two of the neighbor's walks.
Thank you again!
Hey Steve, my son, and Daughter bought me a used Briggs and Stratton 1150 snowblower 250cc for $300.00. The left tire was flat and the right tire was flat and off the bead. And of course, the engine would not start. So, I fixed the tires and changed the spark plug. But to no avail. I still could not start my snowblower. So, I went on RUclips and found your video (How To A CHEAT A Snow Blower To Make It RUN). So, I took the carburetor jet out and cleaned it exactly the way you showed how and I put it back together. Now my snowblower is running like a champ. So, I had to write you a comment and say thank you, Steve!
You're Welcome...
Always building my competence when I watch you performing magic on engines.
Right on
Thank you, was in a bad snowstorm, blower wouldn’t start, did your trick in the garage, 5 minutes later I’m blowing snow
You're Welcome...
I haven't checked, but I'm probably not the first one to say this. That little tiny hole above the threads, peel the paper off of a bread tie. Works perfect.
Thanks!
Welcome!
Thank you Steve! Excellent trick! My old snowblower has been in the garage 3 years, but still have not had time to take it to a shop to have it fixed. I was fixed once, but the gunk settled in the carburetor, the bulb. Now, this is exactly what I need to start it again!
I will try your trick on it.
i learned something today about snowblowers without air filters and micro drills. Steve if that were my machine there would be 3 black widows coming out of the carb area. I do not miss my tecumeh engine on my Rototiller I had to fiddle with the carb every year. Love the briggs sleved engine. Just put gas stabilizer in pull and go. As always thanks for the teaching session and saving me money.
Nice trick, I have learned quite a bit from watching you and Dony. I must say that is the CLEANEST "been sitting outdoors for 3 years" machine i've ever seen! I leave a machine outside for a few weeks and it looks way worse!
I like that you have a different beer for all your videos, very original. When are you going to sip on an Old English 800 for your South Bronx supporters!!? 😃
Man, my snowblower was running terrible. Full out on throttle and it was up& down, up& down. Mines is an 8hp briggs.15yrs old. It has the needle valve set screw up through the bowl.
Took it out, and took the set screw out cleared the holes then swisher it around in some lacquer thinner. Put all back to gather made some small adjustments. It's running like new!
Thank you for this video.
I'm in North Dakota and Right now we need our blowers in good working order.
Be well brother!
You're Welcome...
I was fortunate enough to purchase a well kept TroyBilt with electric start this spring. I stored it after running the fuel tank dry and just prepped it yesterday. Fired up right away and back in the garage it awaits the dreaded snowfall.
Nice video. Good to hear from you again. Look forward to your videos. Snow coming this week in Michigan. I got my blower ready three weeks ago. Touched up the paint job. Checked the drive wheel...From a troll in Michigan.
Thanks much, Steve! I did as you suggested in the third step and cleaned out the main jet, which WAS all clogged. And since your instructions are so great, I did it in a few minutes. Then it started right up!! You saved me a bunch of money, so double thanks!
Alan
Great job!
You’re the man Steve. Hasn’t worked in 2-3 years, went out and did it to mine, and it fired right up at 1:00am. My neighbors thank you too😂
I’m sure they enjoyed hearing it that late at night
Cant thank you enough, left fuel in my tank the year before had all kinds of problems starting, eventually got it running with your help, then made sure tank was empty before putting away last year, pulled it out yesterday put in some 93 and it started on first try and purred like a cat.
Again cant thank you enough🙏
You're Welcome...
If you have a tip cleaning set for a torch they work well too to clean it out
Your cheat is very straightforward, and practical! I will use it to revive my snowblower. It also has been sitting in my garage for 3 years including winter this year.
Thank you,even though my problem was a priming issue.It's nice to know that the jets are clean.
Good to hear
Great video, Steve. Show people not to be afraid basic mechanical intervention. I have to say that I have grown to love the Tecumseh Snow King engines. They are unkillable, and respond to all the most basic repair/tuning methods. Cheers from not-yet-snowy Ottawa.
Right on
my ariens started right up ,,its oiled,, serviced ready to go ,,hope it scares the snow away lol
I will for sure be trying this. I mounted an old snowblower engine on a wood splitter. It ran about 15 minutes and just died and won't restart.
OMG, it worked!! Just liked you said it would!!! My Tecumseh is ready to blow again, I'm so excited and waiting for some snow. Thanks for the tip.
Glad I could help!
Well if it was sitting for 3 yrs, the first thing I would of done, was drain the gas, drain the oil, new plug, but I'm sure that was next on your list. Great video, good advice.
Thank you so much. I'll try to fix mine
You're Welcome...
Good show! I've used that before just to get the engine running to see if there are other issues. Then proceed from there.
Great point!
I just purchased a 70’s Roper Snowblower, the seller said it before it revved high and surged and now doesn’t run. Thankfully after running this I’ll know what to do hopefully
gonna give this a go tomorrow. thanks luh
Just bought old ariens snow blower Steve thank you
You're Welcome...
What do you think of Honda snowblowers? In USA their discontinuing single stage and lawn mowers
I used twist tie wire and it worked on my old Craftsman! Thanks!!
Nice work!
I am so grateful for your help with so many things
Thank You...
You are very knowledgeable. You are very helpful.
Thank You...
Mine has a needle screw in that brass jet for adjusting fell out the other day the spring got weak. replaced it with one from an old carb that I had from another engine. I like to put a shut off valve on the fuel lines on any piece of equipment that has gravity feed fuel supply . To prevent the gas leaching into the carb past the float valve and leaking into the engine and filling the crank case with gas. I always smell the oil dipstick for that telltale gas smell .
I always put the bolt jet thingy in my ultra sonic cleaner, along with any other small parts
Can I use sea foam as a cylinder fogger for my snow blower
Nice one Steve. Carb cleaner is an essential tool these days with unleaded fuel. Anything four stroke, I shut off the fuel line and drain the bowl. Otherwise you can guarantee it will gum up.
Well, I’ve been cursing the surging on my Tecumseh motored snowblower for years. I’ll be cleaning this [hopefully] before the snow flies. Thank you, Steve.
Steve, Plymouth MA USA
From the south, no snow blowers needed around here. Did you remove the air filter or does it not have one?
If you haven't got a torch cleaning set or a paper clip I use a bread sack tie they are usually coated with paper or plastic, just burn it off and use the wire inside works great. Its small enough to go through most jets.
Steven and April, good vid. Down in Florida, Tampa area. We're under a hard freeze advisory. Used to live up in shy town, thank God I'm not there no more. Just wanted to wish you and Mama a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
Hi Steve, for cleaning tiny jet I use a wire removed from a steel wire brush n do the job really good without need buying fragiles drill bits at high costs !
Just wanna share it w you in case you didn't already know.
Thanks Steve.
Life doesn't have to be complicated.
I agree!
I haven't come across one with the tiny hole above the tread, but good to know. Thanks
No snow yet in Utah. BUT same type snow blower. Will try with new gas. Will see. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
You're Welcome...
I use a torch tip cleaner. Works great for all different size jets
Thank You Steve,! Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
A set of tip cleaners for an oxy/acet torch works too
Mechanical difficulty level zero !! wow I'm in. Great Video.
Glad you liked it!
Paper clip flossing.... brilliant!
Thanks again Steve.
Very welcome
I use the torch tip cleaners come in different sizes
Steve...you did it again.... You can´t repair gold...platinium or money....but an investment that clears your lawn...awesome... Just some I need to tell about the Tecumseh, the floater is sometimes completely corroded....its Tecumseh...it works or doesn`t...enjoy your beer...greetings from mid Portugal...
Great top. Thanks again! Simple fix for the non-mechanical.person.
You're Welcome...
Very easy for a guy with a lot of knowledge.... Thanks for the tip 👋😀😀😀
Glad to help
I like your honesty and most of all your personality, I just subscribed. Thanx 4 the vid information. Happy New Year 2023.
Thanks for the sub!
I just cleaned my Troy builts carb and I didn’t notice the holes in the bolt, now tomorrow morning I’m going to remove the bolt and see if mine is the same as yours, great videos
Good luck!
Yep, that'll work! Now just throw some SeaFoam in the tank to finish cleaning it out. Good video, will save a lot of blowers.
BTW, a set of "torch tip cleaners" is both cheaper (go to a farm store or harbor freight welding section, used to be about $2-3) and less brittle than those micro drill bits, at least if yours are like mine... I tend to snip off the first bit of useful sizes in the torch tip cleaner set so the serrated part starts right away.
Great tip👍🏻 done that cheat myself a few times! Also, if you need something tiny for the really small holes, snip a bristle from a wire brush!
I agree!
I worry about metal scoring the brass so I've used natural or plastic broom bristles and even a bristle from a tooth brush on small holes.
Also aren't you supposed to not remove the main jet on some carbs and try to clean it left in place?
Steve that was too easy to make it work, great video 😀
Thank You...
Great video -- welder's tip cleaners are a handy item for this also
cutting torch tip cleaners work really good for this
Steve you got lucky with lucky beer. great informitive video
You got that right!
Thanks for the help! Snowblower is running. Appreciate your humor;)
Any time!
Very good video Steve!
Many thanks!
Steve, Coors on tap in Pops garage when I was a very young boy my Father told me that Tecumseh was an Indian word for won't start. I'm 78 now
Good info to know. 👍🏻Thank you. I do wonder how you get that big snow blower up on your counter though.
Nice person, niece and clear explanation. Thanks for your time and goodwill to heilp us.God bless you
It's my pleasure
Steve does it again! Thanks for the information on this video. STEVE OUT ! Cheers 🍻
Any time!
My snowblower is doing the same thing. Can't wait to try this fix! Thank you for posting this video!!
Good luck!
You would think we would run out of video subjects about small engines but, nooooo. Thanks for doin what you do, Stave.
More to come!
Good info right there. I got a little Stihl MS180 with the same problem. I guess I'll have to take the carb off and clean it unless you have a shortcut video on that. Thanks Steve.
Haven't seen you in a while Steve. I hope everything is going well for you. Great video.
Muchas gracias from Texas, Steve! Got a pressure washer with the same no run symptoms. I'll have to put your technique to work this weekend.
good luck
Steve, Nice tip thanks ! All the best to you and yours.
Hi Steve, I like to use JB-80 instead of Carb Cleaner when doing that trick because it works as a starting fluid AND it lubricates the cylinder. I think the lubrication is especially good for an engine that's been sitting awhile...plus I think it smells good (don't laugh too hard)!
...If you have an interest, I have a video on this.
Agreed! JB-80 does two jobs in one which is always a huge plus.
Love the idea of using forceps on the fuel hose!
I'm always draining the gas tank, and still spilling gasoline everywhere.
Thank you!
That was great. Thanks Steve, I'm going to join you with a similar beverage.
Sounds good!
You saved the day, thank you!
You're Welcome...
Your the man Steve, worked perfect. I wouldn't have known about that tiny hole in the jet above the threads and I had the pin drill set already. Started first pull!
Glad it helped
Thanks Steve! That was it...and fast!
You're Welcome...
I worry about metal scoring the brass so I've used natural or plastic broom bristles and even a bristle from a tooth brush on small holes.
Also aren't you supposed to not remove the main jet on some carbs and try to clean it left in place?
Thanks for the great video once again. I have a generator that starts right up pretty much. However when I turn the choke all the way off, it cuts off. What advice do you have for the issue?
Your idle jet is probably plugged. Look up cleaning a Honda or Briggs or whatever carb you have.
You got that bad boy run'n again...👍🏾
are those tires massive compared to other snow blowers or is it the camera angle distance throwing me off?
Thank you! Great trick! 👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏❤️❤️
Best wire to use to clean the jet,wire holding the needle to the float.Another great video.
Great tip!
Hey!
That's kind of brilliant!
I worry about metal scoring the brass so I've used natural or plastic broom bristles and even a bristle from a tooth brush on small holes.
Also aren't you supposed to not remove the main jet on some carbs and try to clean it left in place?
Had the same problem with mine but the float was sticking. Good video
Thank you 👍
You are welcome
That’s usually what I do at work as well. A good sign to find out if you need a new carb or cleaning.
Unfortunately the Ariens deluxe 24" snowblader I have doesn't have a jet with a bolt like yours; no holes just a bolt. I've completely cleaned the carb, it's getting fuel in the bowl and it's getting spark I've got no clue at this point except to replace the carb.
Good easy fix 👍
Right on
Very helpful video thanks Steve
Very welcome
Thanks Steve! Just trying to limp this baby along for now 😅
That one didn't even take one sip of beer. 🤣 Talk about quick and easy! How on Earth did you get that thing up on the bench and back down? Even using a ramp would have been a PITA. I have a set of Dremel Tool drill bits that are tiny like that. Thanks for another great tip, Steve. You're the man.
It is actually a car hoist!
I figured it was some kind of lift. You come prepared for everything! I really wish I had a shop like that!
Nice easy fix. Thanks for posting.
Glad to help
This is a timely post, were you in my shop yesterday lol great info man
