Good to see you using the old carb rather than opting for one of those rubbish amazon ones. Nice job. 😉
thanks!
@@BackyardRepairs Your welcome. Even though I've been repairing this stuff professionally for over 47 years, I still enjoy seeing these videos.
Great job! Those little Briggs engines run forever. I’ll bet it would always start on the very first pull with a new diaphragm, but still a couple of pulls is nothing.
Either carb should work.. The part number difference was probably the red ring over the primer.
I was actually thinking the Venturi insert might have been different for the different HP rating. Probably should have taken the donor apart to compare and confirm that
I enjoy your educational videos
It would have been great to see you patch or braze the old tank
I was debating evaporust/vinegar bath and then epoxy putty, but I didn’t have either of those on hand. I also don’t have a torch for brazing in my arsenal yet either. Maybe I’ll hold off tossing it to do a short video on repairing that tank in the future
Good job!
Awesome
Would like to see some quantum series briggs and stratton engines be worked on. any yardman or yard machine mowers you can review aswell!
I do have a video of a Snapper with a quantum from last year if you haven’t seen it already. That being said I was surprised it’s my only quantum video lol. I’ll pull out the camera next one I come across!
Excellent detailed explanation and video close ups.
Thanks!
Great job 👏
The fact that you didn't clean off the leaves and twigs off the mower deck before repairing it annoyed the crap out of me. 😅
Completely understandable and I don’t think you’re alone lol. I just prefer to wait until I have a working machine to keep it “as-found” and unchanged for troubleshooting before I go to clean it.. unless of course its going to get in my way during a repair
Calling MTD sales: Ring..."Hello."
Calling customer service after the part soon breaks: Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring...
The downside for that combo tank/carb from Amazon is more than likely the hole the air cleaner bolt screws into in the carburetor is metric in size whereas the long screw is SAE. I had to build up the air cleaner screw to get it to hold in the Amazon combo tank.
Good point! Didn’t think about metric vs SAE with overseas Amazon products
I have a mower with the same engine, It pulled over fine twice, i tried some starter fluid, and after it ran for a second its now hard to pull over. two of the strokes is easy, and then the other two strokes are hard to pull through, and it will not run at all. new carb and tank due to rust, new spark plug, nothing but it has spark. valves move smoothly, any idea of what i can check?
Based on what you're stating I would check if the flywheel key sheared next. Most times when those are sheared you'll have a hard time pulling on it because the engine's compression is fighting the valves opening/closing at the wrong time.
