    Your procedure solved my problem. I couldn't solve the surging and dying problem when trying to adjust my new carb. By checking the fuel flow back to the fuel tank like you showed I found the orifice on the bottom of the fuel tank was blocked and only allowing gas to trickle out, once I blew it out I was able to get the carb adjusted quickly and easily. Others had posted that surging is always the carburetor, they were wrong.

    Thanks, we tried cleaning our carb and replacing it about 3 times trying to figure this out. We figured if the line was clogged it would never turn on to begin with, but we had these exact same symptoms. This video got us to look upstream of the fuel filter, and sure enough, clogged fuel line. Saved us a lot more time and money!

    Just subscribed after watching a few of your videos. I like the thoroughness of your service and your explanations. If it were my machine, I would have added a fuel valve for running the carb dry at end of season.

    • @kramnull8962
      @kramnull8962 2 года назад

      Be alert that the valve can clog as well. I had a partial clog in my valve. Came on here to see if there was anything else. I had gas still flowing without the valve, but still kept shutting down after 3 or 4 minutes of running. So I guess my tank or my fuel line is like this one.

  • @kramnull8962
    @kramnull8962 2 года назад +1

    Have you ran into the camshaft compression release breaking off yet? My 17.5 broke on mine early this year. Briggs and Stratton Amazon store's reviews had bad reviews of late about the new ones were breaking within 3 months of replacement.
    I took the bottom off of my engine and cleaned all the free parts out of it and put it back together. It's a 2017 model so the oil seal on the bottom was still good. I can crank it ok now, just removing the filter and covering it with my hand. I don't have any bad vibrations from the compression release not being on there. So I hope she'll make it.
    I also found that my shut off valve was clogged yesterday; but not entirely my engine's shut off problem. Like yours, it is taking about 3 to 15 minutes to start acting up.
    Thanks for the information you gave here. I think you have found my problem. Even though it is a Troy Bilt, the Briggs engine is acting much the same as yours.

    Like your diagnosis process. I’ve got a Briggs v twin. It’s been stumbling and backfire occasionally. I changed plugs and fuel filter over the weekend. Mowed for three hours and it ran pretty good. Now tonight started acting squirrelly. Surging a bit and then die. Would start back up. Acted like it was out of gas but without out that run a bit faster just before dying. Even so I opened the gas tank thinking it’d run dry but there was still maybe 1/4 tank. I’m convinced it is simple. Managed to limp up the hill 1/10 mile back to my shop. Let it cool off and restarted it and it ran good for a couple minutes then just started sounding funny again. After watching you, I’m wondering if it’s fuel line or debris in the tank. As I’m writing it did seem to run fine when tank was full. Hmmm. Subscribed btw.

  • @rickjames6948
    @rickjames6948 8 месяцев назад

    You need to use that brake cleaner to check for vacuum leaks is what was needed. We all know the fuel tank is partially plugged, fuel line is deteriorating internally causing running issues and the carb it filthy. Clean the tank out. Install new fuel line and shut off valve. Just watched the vid. At 7:30 he found this issue.

    I bought a rider with the same engine. The guy I bought it from said it would only run for 10 minutes and quit. Sears had serviced it for him twice changing fuel line and filter, then the carb. I tried it and, sure enough, 10 minutes and die. I noticed that the fuel line was so long that it dipped down almost to the frame. I shortened it up considerably and have never had a problem since.

    • @kramnull8962
      @kramnull8962 2 года назад

      I was wondering about the droop myself. My line is long enough the filter leaves an air pocket in the top corner of it. I might have to take that into consideration when I reline my tank to my carb as well... Also found out my shut off valve was clogged yesterday. But didn't totally fix my issue.
      Here's to new fuel line!

    Also, my tractor uses those thin fuel filters. Any link for what you're using.? I'm assuming a beefier fuel filter will work okay over those pancake ones without any impedance in fuel throughput to the carb?

    Hey brother great video just subscribed. So I got a free Husqvarna rider 20hp single cylinder kohler doing the same thing almost, except all the time. It’s been sitting for like 4-5yrs but its in really good shape. It was dumping fuel out the bowl so it’s got a new carb fresh gas, new plug, got spark and starts and runs fine everytime…..only runs bad above 1/4 throttle, like with the air cleaner lid off and you try and give it more gas it starts breaking up and blowing fuel back out the carb…..like choking itself out. I’ve even took it off the fuel tank and ran it on another tank milk jug with fresh fuel also just as a separate fuel source and same thing. I checked all the linkages for the choke flap and throttle and all seems fine. Any ideas? It did the same exact thing with the old carb on it also besides it dumping fuel out the bowl and I was confident the carb wud fix it but nope. After seeing this video it confirms to me I need to prolly break out the speak tester also and see if maybe the coil is breaking up when I try and go above 1/4 throttle like maybe the flywheels rust isn’t letting it make the spark like it should as she spins faster and thus not burning the fuel and it splashing back out the carbs intake

    Thanks Brother! Hello from Blacksburg, SC... My Craftsman Lawn Tractor surges when it gets warm, have to keep it on choke, then it dies. Sounds like the same problem with the fuel line to me... gonna check it out! Do you think ethanol fuel is eating the rubber lines?

      Thank you. We see it all the time. Ethanol in fuel is not good for small engines in my opinion.
