THANK YOU! I recently started renting from a house that provided this exact model lawn mower for me to use. It was caked in gunk and mud, and it barely ran. It would struggle to start and wouldn't stay running more than a couple minutes at best, until it got to the point it wouldn't start anymore. I suspected it was the carb is clogged and so I watched this video to see how hard it would be to clean it rather than take it to a shop or buy a new one. I followed your video precisely and now the lawn mower runs like brand new. You saved me a bunch of money and I am super thankful for this video.
Getting ready to go do this. 4 years later and your video is still useful. Don't know much about small engines, but was tempted to spend $20 on a new carb because I figured it would be as much of a pain as it is on a car. It doesn't even LOOK as complicated lol. Thanks, man
Your video instructions have given me the courage to tear into this newer style Briggs carburetor. A little courage and some detailed knowledge will get you where you want to go!
I was supposed to bring my mower into the shop tomorrow. I've never attempted to take apart a carburetor before but after watching your video....You just saved me time and money. Thank you sir.
Found this exact mower put out to the street so picked it up. Later spoke to past owner and he said it wouldn't start. I am a subscriber and many thanks.
Super helpful. I cleaned my mower's carburetor today, and it started like brand new. Knowing how to fix it myself was satisfying, and I wouldn't even have known how to start without your video.
I've always been intimidated by small engine repair. Thanks to your video I was able to tear down and clean the carb on my Husqvarna mower (diff model number)...and she started first pull. I'll be back if I need to tackle any more small engine issues, many thanks.
Dude!!....Glad I found this & glad the local shop said 4-5 weeks out. The only problem I had was the needle popped out when I removed the float and I incorrectly put it back in......then, when reviewing this video, I saw that it was suspended by sliding it in within the track. I took the carburetor back out, and placed it in the correct place.....gave it a nice spray , the jets were clear , replaced everything and it started right up! I'm certain you just saved me about 4 weeks and about $150.
Man thanks for that , I have the same mower and I’m going to use your video to fix my mower again thank you and all those who are giving out knowledge on You Tube
I have to this tomorrow since mine starts then stops. I looked up online what the problem is and the answer that was the most common is a clogged carb. Great video thanks a bunch and you saved me a lot of time as well as money.
Thanks Bud. Newbee here. First time home owner. so i had no idea what was going on with my lawnmower. It was starting up but then after 10 sec it would die. Your video helped me clean out the carborator. It started back on half pull and stayed on.
Fixed my mower with the help of this video! Didn't look like anything wrong but cleaned the carb, checked the spark and started first time. I used new gas after fixing which might have helped too. Thanks so much for the vid!
Your video is great. But man, I STILL get confused about cleaning carburetors. I'm a novice about this stuff and am teaching myself how to change oils and clean carburetors for my lawn mower, generator, and snow blower through youtube videos. Yours has been the one of the most detailed I've seen. Thanks.
Thanks for the information and taking the time to do this video I bought almost the same mower and it wouldn’t start and thanks for your video it runs like a brand new one!
Thanks for the video! Very clear explanation on how to fix this. Never done it before and worked perfectly. Only cost me a $4 can of carburetor cleaner!
thanks I got the lawn mower started - I didn't have to actually remove the carb - I sprayed quick start into it and the fuel line/hose - and that did the trick
Guy forgets everything at the shop and still starts it like a boss. Great vid! No one else freaked out at that large wasp at 10:10?? Apparently he had a carb he needed to clean as well and was just going in for a closer look.
Yeah I end up taking all of my tools to the shop and that leaves me to get creative at home on the weekends when I decide to do more work. That wasp is a "dirt-dobber" or "mud-dobber" in Mississippi. They won't hurt ya but will plug up any hole they can find with mud and spiders!
I've got this same model bought brand new back in mid 2016, it started great at first, then hard starts like crazy, took many pulls before i needed to spray some carb cleaner into the carb just to get it running, then it would quit after a few seconds a couple of times. I took the carb apart 2x already for a thorough cleaning, thoroughly cleaned the gas tank and spark plug as well, checked the flywheel key, it was spot on, but the hard starts persisted, but once i got it running, it runs like a gem, not a single issue, so that rulles out the ignition coil. Figure it might be a choke issue, it sticking open, thats from part of the choke lever hitting partially on the metal frame towards the front of the engine that keeps the lever from moving freely, just bend that piece of sheet metal out slightly away from the lever to fix that issue. Another issue is from the carb main jet being too small that gets clogged easily, again, causing the hard starts, the remedy, from what i've seen online in other problematic hard start videos, is to drill out the main jet out to .5mm/.020, thats next on my list to do, and it should always start on the first to second pull everytime like it should, so whats needed is called "Pin Vice Hand Drill", just make sure it holds 0mm to 3.0mm drill bits and you're golden.
@@SmallEngineRepairhello - I am having some trouble getting the fuel hose off - I keep trying and pulling and twisting but it won’t come off and i am afraid of damaging it - any suggestions?
Just the video I was needing. I work on stuff all the time and it's pretty much all the same concept, it's just nice to watch a little video before actually going to do it just to see how long it's going to take and what the terrible parts will be lol.
Fixed mine. I left the linkages and just tilted the carb enough to pull off the black dome to get to the jets. Used single strand from wire brush. Cleaned them out and it started right up. Got my power back
The bottom bowl on the carb has what looks like a place suitable to install some type of fuel filter trap to collect sediment or water that would otherwise settle in the carb bowl. It appears the opening is plugged with a plastic screw fitted with a hex head. Is there any sort of filter or sediment bowl available, where can I get one, and if so is it a simple install in place of the hex head screw? Great video and very helpful.
I have a question I took my carburetor apart yesterday and put it back together and it ran fine for about 15 minutes. This morning I came out to cut my grass it started like a champ. Then it stopped and it will not start again any ideas?
I thought you started off so well by doing the step by step process but unfortunately when it got to the main information I needed, which was cleaning the carburator, you literally skip over that part. I enjoyed and appreciated the information you did provude. Thanks!
No sorry I didn’t mean wire connectors I meant the metal rods coming from the choke in the throttle I believe how did you get those off with out taking everything apart off the movable levers on the carburetor
This is a wonderful step by step video even for a person who has no idea about carb clean. I was able to clean mine within an hour or so and it stared in one stroke. Thank you
Just realized that the bolts that I was trying to remove were behind the carburetor and do not have to be removed. After you get the fuel line off the carburetor just slides out of the bracket then remove the two rods. Mower runs great after cleaning. Thanks for the quick response to my Question.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Managed to get a non-starting mower started last night but when we tried to restart it we found it was leaking. Took it off three more times. On the fourth try, it started and stayed running. Able to shut it off and restart a few minutes later. But it still has a (now slower) leak. This morning the mower wouldn’t start- what little gas we’d put in the tank last night was gone. Put in a little more gas and it started, but it definitely has a slow leak. Any suggestions as to what we’re not doing right? Thanks again.
Hey, I just did one of these today on this exact same model.. my suggestions for your leak is one of the following: 1) at 5:22 in the video you can see he has what he called the needle (the thing he dropped when popping out the float) when I was doing mine I nearly lost that and didn't know where it came from but it's a counterbalance for the float, so if you didn't put that part back on properly it could be flooding your carb bc the float is no engaging cut-off. 2) you did not properly tighten the bottom of the carb or damaged the gasket. 3) you did not properly reset fuel line back to carb and properly place the clips back to position. Best of luck 👍
Thanks for the suggestions. I’m going to look at the pin again. It seems from the video like it is set in there asymmetrically whereas we put it back in symmetrically…
I'm trying to replace the carburetor on exact mower. I used 5/16 to remove the nuts to get to the carb but there are two other nuts that are smaller. I tried 1/4 and 3/8 but neither worked. What size did you use to remove the two smaller nuts?
found this video literally the day after i had to do this. frustrating as hell, sitting on my front porch with the whole lawn already edge trimmed and a busted mower. by the time i got it back together and running it was like 9pm. all i have to say is that i freakin hate plastic carbs.
Nice video except for one thing - I didn't see him spray anything? What did he spray? Where did he spray it? I assume that he used carbeurator cleaner, like gumout. Did he soak the carb in gumout? Did he have to brush anything?
Carb/choke cleaner is what I use. Brake cleaner will also work and is a little easier on rubber seals. I sprayed the inside of the entire carburetor, mainly focus on the jets but need to spray everything in case there is dirt inside. I usually don't have to brush anything, the carb cleaner will take care of most things. Every now and then I have to take a torch tip cleaning set and poke through a jet. Any more questions just ask. Thanks for watching.
@@SmallEngineRepair Appreciate you! I decided to stop worrying about it and just give it a harder tug. It was already gunked up so i figured if it broke i wasn't in any worse position not being able to use my mower. Got it working thanks to your video!
Have a 2 year old machine. Any tips on how to keep the dust down on these machines. My wife wants her old Lawnboy back because this thing throws dust up like a tornado!
@@SmallEngineRepair I have a Lawnboy Gold mower. When I set mine next to my wives husky. I notice when set to the same cut height. The Lawnboy housing seem to sit lower to the ground. Also the Husqvarna has raised cut in the front housing between the front wheels. My thought is that this cut and higher sitting housing doesn't build as much vacuum from the ground to the housing which allows more dust to fly out the front and sides then out the shut. I notice the first time I mowed with it small rocks and debris flying in the grass in front of the mower. I have never used a mower in like 50 years, that did that. I think if they redesigned their housing lower, removed the gap in the front and maybe brought the blade high in the housing to create more upward vacuum. This would help greatly. 😉
Upon reassembly the lawnmower started leaking fuel from the carb. I checked and it does not appear to be the linkage to the fuel line, but coming from inside the carb itself. I have tried disassembling and reassembling several times. Any idea what the cause might be?
@7:15 you can see the flat-head I used. It just needs to be sharp enough to get between the plastics. Not glasses screwdriver small but not big either.
I cant remember exactly on this model. A lot of the new ones you do have to tip over. Most of the older ones had a square recessed nut under the mower that a 3/8 ratchet would fit into.
Thank you for the response. I was going to junk this mower but it is so clean, the blade is good and the motor still has compression. I have Augustin grass in my backyard so it remains low and I pull out the weeds. So it overwhelms my push reel mower. THANKS. Now this is a question from left field and I shouldn't ask it but do you know how to remove the rear seat out of a 2005 Sentra. I saw it done once but can't remember if the clips are on the base. Stupid question from a guy in Rocky Mount, NC. But love your RUclips channel!
Thank you so much. You have a friend in Rocky Mount, My name is Bert Williams. This guy also got rid of a weed eater which he said runs great but needs a muffler but let me get this mower running first. then I'll tackle the trimmer. Thank you!
I have this same mower and it was brand new last year. Now it doesn't start and all of this is necessary to get it started again each year? Kind of ridiculous I must say when I have an old B&G lawnmower that is about 10 years old and it starts up every year just fine even when it has sat during the winter months. Oh well.
It has to do with the jet size. The newer mowers are problematic because the jets are way undersized and the engines run lean, which will shorten the life. This is due to EPA and carb regulations. It's the same reason why I would rather repair an older unit now vs. buying new. I had an old 6.75 hp briggs on my high wheel trimmer that seized after 8 years of use. it had a real carb, not these plastic ones. The jet sizes are about 20% less and thus any clogging or congestion anywhere in the fuel system will give you problems. This is really a case of poor engineering on BS and also the regulatory insanity over co2.
Imma help anyone here with the white plastic piece inside instead of using a sharp flat head use 2 and pry the same side at either end of the tab and it pops right off with no hassle and no accidental break

How do you get the two bolts out there isn’t enough room for a socket to fit over the head of the bolt. Everything else was spot on. Thanks Steve C.
The ones that hold the carb on? Sometimes you just have to force the socket down onto them and the plastic should flex enough.

This model doesn't have wires going to the carburetor.
Did you mention that the spark plug should be disconnected prior to tearing into it?
Sad that many giving instructions miss such an important point.
Any advice on getting the plastic pieces apart - the fuel injection pieces. Mine won’t easily budge and I’m worried about breaking the plastic.
Flat head screw driver and gentle pressure.

thanx
Thanks, carb appears to be the same as mine, video was very helpful as this is the first one I’ve seen with the same plastic carb bowl.
when you said spray the jets , you mean the air gun or it will be to much air pressure for those small parts?
Im pretty sure he means spray with a carb cleaner with straw attachment
After removing the fuel line the video skips over how to get that bar off. How do you remove it without bending it?
Once the carb is free from the fuel line twist the carb up sideways so the bar can come off.
I just bought a new carb. Came with air filter fuel filter fueling Owings for less than $20.
Have a 2 year old machine. Any tips on how to keep the dust down on these machines. My wife wants her old Lawnboy back because this thing throws dust up like a tornado!
Not really. You could try buying a low lift blade but it's probably just turning a lot more rpm than the older machine.

It can either be a gasket around the bowl or the float is sticking open and letting gas fill up the carburetor and overflow.
check if that little pin/ needle not missing under float

Hi, you mentioned the use of a small flat screwdriver. We didn't get to see how small it is.
@7:15 you can see the flat-head I used. It just needs to be sharp enough to get between the plastics. Not glasses screwdriver small but not big either.
What can you use to clean
You say spray, with water?
Have one question about this mower? How do you change the oil and do you have to tip it over?
I cant remember exactly on this model. A lot of the new ones you do have to tip over. Most of the older ones had a square recessed nut under the mower that a 3/8 ratchet would fit into.
Thank you for the response. I was going to junk this mower but it is so clean, the blade is good and the motor still has compression. I have Augustin grass in my backyard so it remains low and I pull out the weeds. So it overwhelms my push reel mower. THANKS.
Now this is a question from left field and I shouldn't ask it but do you know how to remove the rear seat out of a 2005 Sentra. I saw it done once but can't remember if the clips are on the base. Stupid question from a guy in Rocky Mount, NC. But love your RUclips channel!
@@herbertwilliams1608 I can help all day on mowers but I don't have a clue about the car.
Thank you so much. You have a friend in Rocky Mount, My name is Bert Williams. This guy also got rid of a weed eater which he said runs great but needs a muffler but let me get this mower running first. then I'll tackle the trimmer. Thank you!
How do I get the carburetor off you didn’t show that in your video
Just grab it and pull. It's pressed on. Subscribe!

I have this same mower and it was brand new last year. Now it doesn't start and all of this is necessary to get it started again each year? Kind of ridiculous I must say when I have an old B&G lawnmower that is about 10 years old and it starts up every year just fine even when it has sat during the winter months. Oh well.
It has to do with the jet size. The newer mowers are problematic because the jets are way undersized and the engines run lean, which will shorten the life. This is due to EPA and carb regulations. It's the same reason why I would rather repair an older unit now vs. buying new. I had an old 6.75 hp briggs on my high wheel trimmer that seized after 8 years of use. it had a real carb, not these plastic ones. The jet sizes are about 20% less and thus any clogging or congestion anywhere in the fuel system will give you problems. This is really a case of poor engineering on BS and also the regulatory insanity over co2.
You don't need to pull the carb off to clean the float assembly
Just pull the two bolts on the bottom of the float housing and off it comes
Imma help anyone here with the white plastic piece inside instead of using a sharp flat head use 2 and pry the same side at either end of the tab and it pops right off with no hassle and no accidental break
I wanted to see how to remove the carb. You skipped that part.
You wouldn't happen to know what the number is for that carb. I need another one .
I don't. Just get on Ebay and look for briggs push mower carb.
@@SmallEngineRepair I did and it popped right up. Thanks. Go figure,lol. I was trying to look up model numbers,serial numbers,bla,bla,bla,lol...
