Hey Taryl. Thanks for the awesome video. I just subscribed. This seems to be the same briggs and stratton engine that I have my lawn machines base mower. Can you please help me out and tell me which way to turn the governor post, that holds the governor arm/link to reset it correctly? I changed the carb for an aftermarket one, and forgot to put the link back in. I figured it looked easier to just remove the governor arm instead of the carb and put the link in that way. I didn't know that the governor was setup a certain way, and I moved the governonr post left and right using my fingers. Now I'm trying to set it back correctly but some videos tell me to turn it clockwise and others say to turn it counterclockwise until it stops, then tighten the bolt. The setup on my mower is EXACTLY like the Toro you show on the video. Do you know which way the governor needs to be turned on that Toro? Please get back to me and let me know if you get a chance to read this. Thanks Taryl!
Taryl, the best thing about your fixit videos is that you show every step about taking apart and then putting it back together again and why you did what you did. You are absolutely the best repair guy.
Without a doubt, the most entertaining and informational video on youtube. You guys are great! I wish you continue with the pace of publishing videos and quantity won't ruin quality. It must be hard to run a business and take time out for making videos for diy guys like me. Thank you and God Bless!
By far the best video I’ve ever seen for my B&G recycler I’ve owned mine since 2011, wish I had found this video years ago. Everything a weekend warrior needs to know 👌🏻
Great info. My Toro 2008 vintage 20066 Mower is the best ive ever owned. Never did any regular maintenance on it. I replaced the bowl and jet twice to clogging, (or clean out with a wire every spring). I didnt know how the choke worked, now i do. I have the chinese cheapo carb from Amazon, just need to swap it. The MOST common problem you pointed out at 15:50, is the clogged jet. If mower is not winterized and wont start in spring, 99% of the time thats it!. Ethanol in the pump gas, breaks down the bowl coating (and other fuel parts) and harden in the jet clogging it. Thanks for the assistance to the homeowner Taryl, much appreciated. P.S. i used to have that EXACT Honda trail 70 as a kid. Those are fantastic fun.
Super video! You solved a number of my problems. I was given a Toro Recycler having a Briggs & Scrap'em 126T02 model (6.5 HP 190 cc): Carb problems: float bowl needle valve seat swelled so that no gasoline would pass through it (I poked the hole in the seat with a stiff wire to ensure no blockage; but after removing the stiff wire, the swollen seat returned to its state of "constriction" and it simply would not pass fuel; the float bowl combo retaining bolt/main jet was plugged up; most of the other carb ports and drillings were plugged up; The thermostat lever retaining bolt (that 1/4 inch screw that screws into the carbu-traitor) had corroded and the lever would not freely pivot; you saved me from threading that eye-like loop on the muffler heat sensor. On top of all that, my compression on pulling the starter rope rose to all of 5 psi's. Had a nice healthy blue spark at the plug; but even with a nice shot of starter fluid sprayed into the carb intake, I couldnt get even a single "pop". No surprise there because there was no compression. In loosening the head bolts, I noticed about 3 of the 8 bolts (those 3 were near the exhaust valve, as you noted in the video) had worked themselves loose to a limited extent. I suspect that's where I was losing compression. I pulled the head off; examined the head gasket which had no evidence of cracks, leaks, blow-by, damage etc. Since this is just a lawnmower, I'm going to simply put the old head gasket right back on (sure, the gasket has been crushed already, but "this aint the space shuttle") torque the head bolts correctly and see if that wont bring the compression back to normal. Keeping my fingers crossed that proper compression will return. I don't suspect a flywheel key to be partially sheared. This is because I can't get any compression (other than about 5 psi's max) no matter what cycle. Finally, a HUGE thank you for your series of wonderful videos.
The seat seems to swell the moment it comes into contact with carb cleaner. Maybe it's the brand I use (Walmart) . I find that the minute carb cleaner touches the seat....I can no longer achieve correct float level and the seat needs to be replaced. No big deal of course. Maybe other brand carb cleaners don't do this?? IDK.
@@Rustycam1025 Thanks for your comments. Glad to hear of your experience with carb cleaner. Regarding the lost compression, it turned out that retorquing the head gasket did not solve the compression problem. I pumped some air into the spark plug hole at top dead center and air leaked profusely out the exhaust valve guide. The valve stem wobbles way too much. This valve simply would not seat well enough to bring the compression back. (I assume there's a guide in this block (might just be a guide-less drilling in the block). The mower is out of commission until I get a valve guide/valve that will not leak. Any suggestions?
Your by far the best and easiest to understand Taryl. Another great video. I'm having starting problems on my toro recycler. I've cleaned the carb and getting ready to check for spark. I took everything apart and I think I have auto choke issues and am so glad your so thorough to go through that. Thank you so much. You're the best.
Man, I appreciate your videos! You and Steves Small Engine Saloon have saved me $. I went & got the torch tip cleaner set & the micro speed drills. Just about everything in my garage needed "carbitrator" repairs & adjustments. Love working on small engines and you are so much better than a paper repair manual! Thanks Man 😎👍
I said I liked to watch these videos after lunch on Sunday but this one almost got me to supper. That video covered a problem I'm having with one of my push mowers . Saved me alot of trouble shooting.. thanks Taryl and the crew
hey thanks a bunch Taryl i just got the same mower from a neighbor it was going to the trash he had the thermostat and muffkin off got it back on cleaned the carbitrator and changed the spark plug and it runs like new i really enjoy your channel small engines are my hobby
Nice seeing everyone back in action again. I would say Anthony and Vic got a little more action then they wanted. Good information on the Auto-Choke function. Your videos always offer useful information and fun entertainment. Thanks for all your video posts, I enjoy every one of them. And Welcome Back!
You solved my autochoke problem! The spring was missing...also excellent tip on thermostat lever installation and also snogging up those head bolts...Harbor Fright O ring worked for the oil tube...Thanks again for a informative video.
These videos are RUclips gold. I just recently got into the small engine field from the aviation mechanic field and learned so much from these videos in my off time. Love the retro 80's comedy has me rolling! Going to purchase some of that assembly lube for my cam shaft jobs also!
My little grease covered - gas smelling hands LUV you Taryl !!! My lawn mower started spitting and a shuttering - I figured it was just seasonal allergies but NOOOOOOOOO. MIA "vane spring" . I put up a few " missing vane spring " flyers on my tele-poles but just in case it don't come back I ordered a couple of new ones. Couple of days later I was napping on the swing outside and heard that spitting / shuttering noise - I figured I was having a nightmare but my neighbor's lawn mower was acting up - geeesh it's contagious. Her lawn mower had nasty gunk in her carbutraitor bowl ...... after we cleaned it , we " fired it up fired it up" - it started purring like a kitten. You got urself 2 happy lawn mower girls ... Now there's ur dinner !!!
Thanks for your outstanding detailed presentation. I recently discovered the goofy auto-choke air vane system on my 24hp BS. Naturally, when I was reassembling and almost done, the air vane spring popped off and went to the moon. Had to find a replacement, but now she purrs like a kitten, no surging after cleaning the low speed jet on the Nikki.
I have the same system and problem. Now I know what is going on and understand how it works. It’s running correctly now. 20+ years with this mower. First time I’ve had any problems. Thank you sir. ✌🏽
Love your videos and terminologies. When reassembling my mower, I did latch the plastic throttle assembly to the thermostat on the muffler. Lmao. Thank god I was just watching your vid as you clearly said 😮 a lot of people hook it to the thermostat and you are not supposed to. You are a wet hoof information and the fact that you use do-hiky terminology, everyone gets you. You are a professional sir.
Thank you! I just repaired my auto choke system thanks to you. My neighbor was heckling me because it took 5 good pulls before it started. Now it starts the first time. I fixed it by cleaning the shouldered bolt. I also enjoy the crazy skits. Thanks again!
Thanks Taryl for the awesome tutorial! Was able to fix a lawnmower by replacing the needle and seat! I was stumped until I found your video thanks from south Texas!
Thank you for your help! Just fixed my carbertrator today! Amongst many things wrong with my mower. Your video was spot on helpful! Love the personality too...
I own a Toro mower very similar to this and never understood how the autochoke works on that Briggs engine. Now I know. Thank you. I also never took the carb apart all the way either. So now I know how to do that, too. I do remove the float bowl and clean the main jet once a year along with changing the spark plug and giving it a new air filter, but that is all I've ever had to do to this 10 year old mower. I really like it a lot and I especially like the Personal Pace system on these Toro mowers. Great video.
I have 3 dead 90s era Toros that all were low oil victims. Replacing rings is supposedly not DIY friendly. Not alot of vids on the Toro push mowers in general. Great to see this one. It just keeps gettin better! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!!! Thank you!!
I’ve got a mower like that. A neighbor gave it to me. It’s missing the long plastic choke lever, the spring and it’s got the wrong carburetor on it. Now I think I can get it going as long as I can get parts. Good video dude. 👍🏼
Hello You forgot to mention that the initial lifting of the choke is started by the wind generated by the flywheel fan. The thermostat ensures the choke is held in open position. The thermostat doesn’t activate quick enough initially.
That was an excellent video on lawn mower repair. Great detailed camera work & instructions. Never knew about this automatic choke. Mine is a Craftsman. I'm sure It will be pretty much the same procedure. Thanks for making this video.
Man I swear your the best at what you're doing instructing us with the repairs and the humor as well lol it keeps us viewing and learning at once which no one else is doing! Awesomeness all around the board and thank you for sharing your repair tutorials the help big time!
Pure comedic genius, as always. Love you and the guys. The creator of the skits is the real comedian and I'm guessing that's Taryl. Real comedians are born. I'm guessing Taryl has made people laugh since he was a kid and he has never stopped. Anyway, you guys need to be recognized for your work. The real genius here, is jokes, not chokes. Ps., Slippers is tougher than he looks.
Wow! thanks for the video. I was able to get my 10 year old abused lawn mower going again. Twas the float bowl boogers, but you taught me good stuff. Aaaaand…… Now I need to go buy something from you, the least I can do. Thanks again....
Slippers comes thru as a karate expert:) LMAO The great things about your videos is of course your how to’s but you add great comedy to them which beats out anything I have seen on RUclips! Thanks for making these videos!
This video was definitely worth the wait! Ol' Slippers is no one to mess with apparently, LOL! Great info on the Auto-choke system! I always come away from your videos with useful info and a good belly laugh, thanks for the entertainment my friend!
Taryl, first i want to say that your videos are very informative, you're a really sharp guy...keep up the good work. So with that being said, i have a Troy-bilt lawn mower model 11A-26M011 with a Briggs & Stratton Eng. model 126T02-0675-B2 with auto-choke that's having staying running issues. It will start after a few pulls but dies soon after the choke starts to open. It will run and stay running with the choke fully close (horizontal position) but dies as soon as the choke is open (vertical position). I have replaced the thermostat so that does work, I'm thinking it may have something to due with the choke or carburetor itself. The choke is kind of spongy with the first start up so you have to keep the choke closed with your finger or something until the Eng. warms and the thermostat starts to open the choke, after that , it just dies. So do you have any suggestions to what might be going on.
I had Craftsman with almost the same engine but it had the primer bulb that didn't work along with the bowl nut holes being plugged. I bought a rebuild kit from the local mower shop and the guy said to put two gaskets on the filter housing backing plate and evenly tighten the screws. I did that and the primer bulb work fine then. Something about the backing plate flange being warped and sucking air instead of gas. What's your experience with those primer bulbs, Taryl?
thanks for the thorough video! 1 tip I can add is don't ever use an impact on the bolt that mounts the plastic "autochoke" arm unless you want to break the mount (I learned this 2 days ago) love the entertainment! reminds me of some old troma movies.
love your videos very nice the way you present what exactly you re doing with real live pictures and explanations of what you re doing thanks for all you do
You just saved me several hundred dollars as I was ready to either take my mower to the dump and get a new one or take this one in for service. (Troy Bilt model 12A-466m011 which is discontinued unit probably due to a poorly designed control lever for what you showed how to fix in this video! I know it will probably fail again but at least I now know how to fix it. Many thanks and great job on a very thorough video tutorial!
Ive run into guys putting the auto choke laced into the tbermostat. Did a 2 part video on what it sounds like when it came in and after the fix. I also just use the tecumseh tool or screw to put in the seat. Awesome video from Grass Rats Garage again. Thanks.
DUDE! Many thanks on your great video. I'd been wrestling with this d*mn engine for 2 weeks trying to make it run better. Your tips are spot-on and my mower runs great.
Hey Taryl I own a shop in Bug Tussle Alabama, I’m 57 been at this work 65 years, pretty damn good at it if you ask about me. Now I have all this knowledge but instead of making my OWN channel and putting my own content out there about how I absolutely know everything there’s to know about small engines and the implements there attached to, I like to jump on yours and everyone else’s I can subscribe to, so hey Grass Rats keep putting em out and I’ll keep Co-singing.
Cool Video! Really explained the auto choke and carb rebuild very well. We all appreciate the part numbers too. And the Classic Fight scenes. . . Well done

This is hands down the best lawn mower video I've ever seen in my life!
You’re a great teacher with awesome experience and knowledge, but not arrogant or condescending when you teach. You da man!
Slippers is such a stud lol
Phenomenal video. 100% bonus that it's the exact mower I own!
Your by far the best and easiest to understand Taryl. Another great video. I'm having starting problems on my toro recycler. I've cleaned the carb and getting ready to check for spark.

Your the best teacher ever!😂
Filing down where the bolt goes through the auto-choke arm fixed my problem. Thanks for posting a great video.
You are an excellent teacher , very nicely explained thank you . i was having problems with my mower but now i can fix it.
Best part of learning is the attention to detail. Thank You Taryl. Good imitation of Joe Pesci too. Best laugh of the day too.
This guy is excellent,his lawnmower repair videos are second to none,thank you!!!
This video was chock full of info and intertainment. Thanks!

Mustie1 CT70H (4spd with clutch). We had the EXACT same growing up 😀
Mustie, you’re one of my favorite youtubers! Didn’t expect to see you down in this comment section. 2 year old comment, hope your day is going well
The production value in Taryl's vids are amazing and the fixing is great too
Best video for the B&S auto choke and carb. Many thanks.
I said I liked to watch these videos after lunch on Sunday but this one almost got me to supper. That video covered a problem I'm having with one of my push mowers . Saved me alot of trouble shooting.. thanks Taryl and the crew

Thanks for the detailed and useful information on troubleshooting, hints, what the major parts are for and how it should be
I have the same system and problem. Now I know what is going on and understand how it works. It’s running correctly now. 20+ years with this mower. First time I’ve had any problems. Thank you sir. ✌🏽
The Slip Dog laying the smackdown .
Glad I found you. Told me exactly what I needed to know. Took longer to find my tools than to fix the problem. Thanks for hookin bro up!
Love your videos and terminologies. When reassembling my mower, I did latch the plastic throttle assembly to the thermostat on the muffler. Lmao. Thank god I was just watching your vid as you clearly said 😮 a lot of people hook it to the thermostat and you are not supposed to. You are a wet hoof information and the fact that you use do-hiky terminology, everyone gets you. You are a professional sir.
Thank you for haveing an identical unit to the one I found in the trash. Now it's running great.
Thank you! I just repaired my auto choke system thanks to you. My neighbor was heckling me because it took 5 good pulls before it started. Now it starts the first time. I fixed it by cleaning the shouldered bolt. I also enjoy the crazy skits. Thanks again!
Thanks Taryl for the awesome tutorial! Was able to fix a lawnmower by replacing the needle and seat! I was stumped until I found your video thanks from south Texas!
Very clear explanation. Thanks Taryl.
I haven't seen a fight that good since Rocky III
Literally just hooked the frickin’ air vane into where he said it’s not supposed to be hooked into. Thank you Taryl 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for your help! Just fixed my carbertrator today! Amongst many things wrong with my mower. Your video was spot on helpful! Love the personality too...

Ol' Slippers knocked the dinner outta both those cronies, haha!
Despite corny acting, this video helps loads!
I have 3 dead 90s era Toros that all were low oil victims. Replacing rings is supposedly not DIY friendly. Not alot of vids on the Toro push mowers in general. Great to see this one. It just keeps gettin better! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!!! Thank you!!
I don’t even own a mower with an Automatic choke nor will I probably ever but it’s Dinner time ! Thanks Taryl!
Learned enough in 7 minutes to diagnose and solve my mower's problem. Thank you, I'm subscribing!
I’ve got a mower like that. A neighbor gave it to me. It’s missing the long plastic choke lever, the spring and it’s got the wrong carburetor on it. Now I think I can get it going as long as I can get parts. Good video dude. 👍🏼
Muchas gracias desde Puerto Rico los vídeos me han ayudado mucho.
Great video, learned a lot. Taking this with me out to the garage and doing the same thing to my mower! Thanks Taryl
Hello
You forgot to mention that the initial lifting of the choke is started by the wind generated by the flywheel fan. The thermostat ensures the choke is held in open position. The thermostat doesn’t activate quick enough initially.
That was an excellent video on lawn mower repair. Great detailed camera work & instructions. Never knew about this automatic choke. Mine is a Craftsman. I'm sure It will be pretty much the same procedure. Thanks for making this video.

Great entertainment n learn
Not only informative but with plenty laughs.....thank u
I just wanted to say this video helped me fix my problem and understand the exhaust system better. Thanks!
When I want to step away from the craziness of the world I love the videos. I have been sick for 8 days with Covid and I appreciate the mental break.
Wow! thanks for the video. I was able to get my 10 year old abused lawn mower going again. Twas the float bowl boogers, but you taught me good stuff. Aaaaand…… Now I need to go buy something from you, the least I can do. Thanks again....
I’m one of those idiots that hooked the choke lever inside that loop.
Thanks for helping me out! Great video . 👍
Slippers comes thru as a karate expert:) LMAO The great things about your videos is of course your how to’s but you add great comedy to them which beats out anything I have seen on RUclips! Thanks for making these videos!
This video was definitely worth the wait! Ol' Slippers is no one to mess with apparently, LOL! Great info on the Auto-choke system! I always come away from your videos with useful info and a good belly laugh, thanks for the entertainment my friend!
I forgot to ask, Is there a Fast-food video part #2 coming up again sometime, I really got a kick out of that one, haha!
"Hey Vic, go grab that guy; he should still be laying out there" LOL!
Great video! Was a big help on the Pressure Washer I was working on today. I'll be looking for more of your vids! Thanks Again!
You are such a great teacher!!! Thank you!!!
Surprise ending, very nice! 👍👍
Taryl, first i want to say that your videos are very informative, you're a really sharp guy...keep up the good work. So with that being said, i have a Troy-bilt lawn mower model 11A-26M011 with a Briggs & Stratton Eng. model 126T02-0675-B2 with auto-choke that's having staying running issues. It will start after a few pulls but dies soon after the choke starts to open.

So do you have any suggestions to what might be going on.
Wow! Spot-on.
Why didn’t I find this two days ago...before I spent most of yesterday learning by doing??
You are sent from the heavens. Thank you.

Taryl you need to get a lift to raise things up. Bending over and laying on the floor gets old and hard on your body
Part numbers, sound explanations and overall, an excellent video! You're to be commended. Signed, Chief Engineer RCR
thanks for the thorough video! 1 tip I can add is don't ever use an impact on the bolt that mounts the plastic "autochoke" arm unless you want to break the mount (I learned this 2 days ago)
love the entertainment! reminds me of some old troma movies.
Good how too. Didn’t think slippers had it in him. Thanks for the laugh guys.
"Ohh well uh, that was just an example!" lol........... Nice repair, very thorough!
Excellent tutorial choke and a carb rebuild. Looks like Slippers opened up a can of kick ass.
love your videos very nice the way you present what exactly you re doing with real live pictures and explanations of what you re doing thanks for all you do
Always great videos. Also when when you remove the float bowl be sure the float isn't full of fuel or the float won't work properly.
i had a feeling slippers was a bad ass. on a different note all that auto choke rig just to do away with the primer bulb? wow
You just saved me several hundred dollars as I was ready to either take my mower to the dump and get a new one or take this one in for service. (Troy Bilt model 12A-466m011 which is discontinued unit probably due to a poorly designed control lever for what you showed how to fix in this video! I know it will probably fail again but at least I now know how to fix it. Many thanks and great job on a very thorough video tutorial!
This was a good one taryl. Thanks for the laughs
Them boys should have know: Never mess with Slippers coffee Mug!
Ive run into guys putting the auto choke laced into the tbermostat. Did a 2 part video on what it sounds like when it came in and after the fix. I also just use the tecumseh tool or screw to put in the seat. Awesome video from Grass Rats Garage again. Thanks.
Love you guys,wish you all lived close,I'm in Texas it would be cool to hang out,keep up the great videos
Absolutely on time. That’s what’s wrong with my Toro Briggs & Stratton self propelled mower. Air vane spring. Great helpful video. ♦️
DUDE! Many thanks on your great video. I'd been wrestling with this d*mn engine for 2 weeks trying to make it run better. Your tips are spot-on and my mower runs great.
Hey Taryl I own a shop in Bug Tussle Alabama, I’m 57 been at this work 65 years, pretty damn good at it if you ask about me. Now I have all this knowledge but instead of making my OWN channel and putting my own content out there about how I absolutely know everything there’s to know about small engines and the implements there attached to, I like to jump on yours and everyone else’s I can subscribe to, so hey Grass Rats keep putting em out and I’ll keep Co-singing.
Cool Video! Really explained the auto choke and carb rebuild very well. We all appreciate the part numbers too. And the Classic Fight scenes. . .
Well done
Slippers earned his dinner.
This was a very good, instructional video and a lil fun too👍
Nice tutorial buddy. It really helped me. Keep on your good videos! 5 stars!
Thanks Taryl, just got my B&S working like new without taking it to the local shop for repair. Doing your compatriots out of work my man!
Best video I have seen on this type of engine
Where can I get Anthony's sun glasses. They can really take a beating.
Wish I lived closer would definitely buy my gear there! As always you helped me get mower standing tall and cutting grass!
