Ya'll need to take notes from this guy on how to make a tutorial.
Keeps the convo to a minimum.
Sticks to the points.
Doesn't bet for likes and subs.
Doesn't have an obnoxiously loud dubstep opening.
Dude is easy to understand, speaks loudly, and clearly.
10/10 would watch more videos from this guy.
I’m oo
I would like but you at 69 likes so what else to want in life

@0xBABAFE77 ruclips.net/video/Y8vj-p68jQ8/видео.html
I just did and explained everything he did in less than a minute video.
The time stamp says 1:11 only because I had a little trouble getting the air filter back in place, but you may as well edit that part out.
THIS helped me sooo much, THANK YOU!
Could you make some on weed eater repair? I have an Echo. I had to change the bulb on it and used a universal one, now it over fills it when I add fuel, so it floods. I am going to order a new ECHO one to see if that is the only issue.
Any hoot!, this is a perfect video! close ups, all questions answered and fully understandable.
I’m bout to try this again cause earlier I was smoking and the dang fumes ignited my beard and my lawnmower was on fire but I did get the bowl off. I just got to find the jet bolt cause I throwed it when I was on fire.
Unfortunately not all mowers are this easy lol
Protocon59 you can get them at autozone advanced auto parts orealys and thanks I got a brand new mower with a cluaged carb for 20 bucks lol
Well damn, now I gotta take mine to the shop AGAIN where they'll keep it 6 weeks and charge me 130.00 cause you lost me at the second step.
Thank you so much! Lost my dad in Sept 09 and along with him went his knowledge of everything mechanic and my only source. I was able to clean the carburetor and fix the mower, even though I'm not really mechanically inclined.. and a girl! Thanks again.
sorry for your loss and good job I myself am trying to figure out this stuff
Being a girl has nothing to do with it
Same! I’m 26, daughter 8, full custody, dad died when I was 15 almost 16, and the lawnmower broke down…..long story short….RUclips videos have always been there for me when I have no one for advice or help….. sorry for your loss…. I’m glad we all can come together nowadays to converse
I lost my dad Aug 3rd 2009. And just like you alot of things I took for granted and never took the time to learn catches up.
Aint no way....thus video was your only source
I wish I had taken small engine maintenance and repair rather than home economics in high school. You can buy a batch of brownies at the market for $2.00, but the repair I just did on my lawnmower was going to cost over $95.00. This is BY FAR the best video I found on cleaning a mower carburetor. Thanks for showing me how to save nearly a hundred bucks and giving me the information and confidence to repair something I've never considered being able to fix before. Many thanks!
I broke the bolt that holds on the bowl the one you cleaned at the begining i need to get one so what is its name and where can i pick one up at
My mower starts up in 1 pull, but squeals loud and crazy!!! Anyone know for sure what it is?
14 years ago you have posted this video on RUclips. It still helping people today. Just want to say thank you so much. I am a woman and know nothing for fix lawnmower. my lawnmower began had problem yesterday. It started but couldn't keep running. I was going to throw it away. But I have found your video and follow it. In 30 minutes, I have gotten it back to work. Save me $200. Thank you again!
Do you not have to replace the gasket on the bolt after you scraped it off?
Looking for a video on how to clean the carb without taking it apart.
im still waiting for you to clean the carburetor .. all i saw was a bowl replacement and gasket do to being lazy and not wanting to clean the bowl
Apparently you missed him cleaning the main? Dummy
Oh shut up,
dont forget the side holes when cleaning the jet , and also take and airpick and blow the sucker out, with air but spray first with some carb cleaner after you clean all the jet holes.that click does not alway mean the gasket is sealing against the pin,and yes the bolw oring gaskets do rot or dry out ,primer bulbs also stiffen up and no longer work also can crack and leak so check the primer bulb as well, when clenaing the carb make sure its also ok ,
The needle will not fall out when you remove the bowl?
What size wrench is he using to take that nut on, off
Thank you so much !! This video saved me so much money... I was going to buy a new mower or get some guy to fix it ( at an outrageous cost). Now my mower is running good as new!! Thanks again
Thank you very much. I fixed my lawnmower myself thanks to you and your video. A few years ago, my carburetor got clogged and the lawmower repair shop charged me over $80 to take apart and clean, etc. This cost me NOTHING and it only took me about 20 minutes. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that value. Keep up the good work
Thank you every much, after cleaning my carburetor followed your instructions, my lawn mover is working
THANK YOU! You have the simplest, most "self-explanatory" video about how to take apart a lawn mower carburetor and clean it that I have found on youtube - I came "this close" to taking it and getting it repaired, probably for three-fifths the cost of a brand new one - but I followed your instructions and my lawn mower is running again - after 2 weeks of @#$%ing with it. You saved me $100 and I thank you!
Mark Bower, sir, you are my new best friend!! Thanks for the great video!!
Thank you. I removed the jet and cleaned out the hole with a wire and my lawnmower started right up. Great video, helped me a lot.
Thanks so much. i know now that i need to clean the main jet too. i have the same engine as you. Just be careful because that carb cleaner will eat up the plastic float inside of the bowl.
This was so good and you are a good teacher.
very helpful video, cleaned my carburetor and my lawnmower started right up. now I know how to do it myself.
Thank you for your helpful video. Followed your suggestion about cleaning and got our mower started again. Saved a few $100.
Best video! Really helped! Thank you!!
Lawn mower service centers charge 100.00 plus for this......
I just bought a Cheap Siphon Pump (Pennzoil) from ‘Home Depot for around $12.00. It really works well for removing Gas and Oil from your Lawnmower. I used mine to remove both from my DR Premier Trimmer...
theres no money in this business sadly? when you can buy a lawn mower for 200 and parts are like 50 plus labour yikes :( they need to raise the price of lawn mowers i suppose to make it worth fixing :(
Thanks for the great video. I like how it was short and to the point. Just what I was looking for.
So you replaced the bowl because you didn't want to clean it ?
Do you want to explain that ? We're you to lazy to clean it and charged the customer extra for it ? Do you want to talk about why you think it's necessary to change the bowl instead of cleaning it ?
You should explain that !!!
i took the bowl off of my mower and it had no holes in the bolts. It actually had two bolts. one attached to the carb and the other serves no function that i can see, other than perhaps draining the gas. At any rate I then removed the carb and sprayed cleaner in all of the orifices. the mower seems to be running well now.
where do you buy the carburetor gasket from ?
If the lawnmower is older model, like a Noma Brute 4.5 HP ?
Thank you so much...I used old gas and didn't know how to get to the carb. Appreciate your video!!
I think that guy works at lawn care equipment company in Webster groves MO
Thanks for your video. I made a mistake and left old gas in my mower over the winter. I can get it to run 5 to 10 sec if I put gas on the air filter; I was thinking my carb only needed cleaning. I cleaned out the old gas a week ago. I was going to take the carb off the lawn mower unit is found this video. I am going to try this, this weekend and hope that it works!
The carburetor needs to be removed to be able to clean the carburetor.
Thank you. I had been doing this blind for a while but now i kinda know what I am doing.
Would this work for me?
I didn't know but all summer I was useing mixed gas for a sled. Ooops. And now that spring is here it won't start...when I prime it, I don't hear gas going in.???
The manufacturer states that you are not supposed to use wire to clean passages. Carburetor cleaner and compressed air is what you need to use. The wire can enlarge the calibrated passages and make the engine run rich!
Very good, question - what type of gloves are you using and where do you get them? I'm always looking for ways of keeping the gas off my skin and these look to be the correct type.
My lawnmower is self priming. Cant find anything that looks like that piece with tge hole in it
Thanks. I wish they made it all simpler. I dont' have most of these tools or understand most of what is said. I just bought a new one to replace my mower and on second time using it it hsa broken again. Have spent an hour already trying to get it working, oil change etc. There is no way I can do most of these things. They are too complex for me but thanks for the vidoeo.
You need self-confidence, too. :)
Hello,you can use this cleaning kit: amzn.to/2MArlGO
It's really easy trust me just try again
Thanks! I couldn't figure out why gas kept leaking out the air filter but this totally fixed the problem!!!
i would have removed the float assembly and needle valve, there could be lots of dirt etc on the seat and cause you no end of problems
Thank you very very much. I have never done this before, but your video gave me the confidence I needed to clean the carburetor. The bowl had what looked like yellow resin rocks inside when I took it off. Now it works great.
Good, clear video on how to clean and/or change the bowl and gasket not the actual carburetor. Please specify on your title. Thx
thanks so much for this video :) Next time my mower breaks (hopefully it won't) i'll be able to do fix it myself!
Thanks very much, works great now
Great video, told me what i needed to know about fixing up a problem I had with the engine continuously stalling. Ran like new after this. Thanks for the great vid
Thanks got mine going because of this video, I happen to have the same mower.
I wanted to thank you for showing me the wire clean out... It was easy.
Just fixed a 6HP rear bagger, am thrilled!!!
Thanks for posting, sharing your time.
Great video! Clear and to the point! Thanks heaps!!
WORKED PERFECT, POLLEN WAS FLOATING IN THE TUB
I have a push mower like that one and will remember this when I clean it up. Thank you so much for placing this video up for everyone to see.
That is it? One bolt shit why did I think this was going to be a big project lmao
Awesome, thanks for the video , i knew nothing of small engines and now have my mower running. great videos
@adrmar7 check your fuel lines. if there is nothing wrong with them then clean out your carb.
Thank You for the video. I watched it once then tried it on my mower. Mower is running perfectly now.
Thanks very much for this. Very clear instructions, and made the procedure easy and it did not take long. Saved me a repair bill or having to buy a new mower! :)
Was it hard to get the lawn mower on that table?
Really appreciate your video. After seeing your video I was inspired to clean out the old fuel in my mower which was needed to be used at another house but hadn't been run in 6 years. Thank you for your efforts!
Great video! I just happened to have that exact same mower. My mower is now up and running great. Thank you!
My bowl nut is stripped… so close to the bowl and no dremel
I'm 1 day older than this video lol
Thanks. You just saved me $75 I was going to have to spend on a tune up.
This look exactly like my powersmart mower
Ty
are these parts you cleaned and replace, one size fits all. non oem
yeah i need a video on the classic briggs stratton engine
Thanks for this great tutorial! I'll be cleaning my mower's carb soon because of your help.
I just bought a Cheap Siphon Pump (Pennzoil) from ‘Home Depot for around $12.00. It really works well for removing Gas and Oil from your Lawnmower. I used mine to remove both from my DR Premier Trimmer...
Nice clear tips, I now have a running mower :)
Awesome , just fixed my pressure washer in 10 min. Thanks
I think it was the jet he took off first and cleaned, That loosened the bowl and that's what he bolted back on when he got the gasket and new bowl back on there.
Mark Bauer is the king of tutorial etiquette. Calm, clear, cool. No bs, just the facts. What's this guy's email so I can transfer him a couple of bucks. Saved me at least $50 - $60... I smell like gas now though. :D
Very good demostration and is very accurate!
excellent instructions, thank you.
I had to figure all this out the hard way and here this guy just goes and explains it in 5 minutes. I still can't believe this is ALL there is to cleaning a lawnmower carburetor. That's IT?
Thanks, your the man.
Nice, you make it look easy... other videos shows disassembling the whole carb unit with its many pieces, way more complicated...
Question: what would cause gas to come out of the air filter when you push that red rubber injector button? I'll look for your response. Great video, BTW. You should teach.
There were a couple more 'jets', ports, whatever you call them.
The primer bulb air duct(?) to the main jet was clogged, too.
(used a twist tie wire for that)
Fast and easy, once I watched this.
Started right up.
It originally only started by dumping a capful of gas in the carb.
It was offered Free, a 'trashed' mower. Again, Thanks!
@songz15love ya but not on plastic float carbs
This video helped me discover the main jet was clogged, so a little carb cleaner and my own lung power helped blow out the debris. Thank you!!
thank you so much. You saved my day and purse! Can't appreciate enough for your work.
@bubbawinchester use vinyl gloves, not latex
Way too much time spent on the bowl bolt. Just remember this, if you can see through it, it isn't clogged. Pretty simple. One thing to do with the float, remove it and shake it a little, just to be sure it hasn't over the years got a crack in it and allowed fuel to soak into it. If you have a cork type float, just replace it. Juicyohso, you're right, always remove float and needle, not only to be sure it's clean but to be sure needle seat is still in good condition.
You sound like kevin costner
I dont understand why your typical maintenance isnt taught in school anymore. Im sure glad those pottery class i took is helping me clean my small engine carburetor.
Great work my good sir. You get straight to the point. No lolly gagging or promoting some merchandise like others.
forgot who he was lol
very good tutorial thank you.i have one 5hp engine and i adjust it from scratch but finally nothing then i realized that fuel didnt come up to the maniflod and i said that carburator is dirty and youhelp very much thank you but is it nessesery to change the ring?
My lawn mower Is years old, we cleaned it out but the screw underneath the bowl broke not sure if my dad got a new one yet... But the lawn mower doesn't start at all even with the cold start button and the gas is completely gone after a day or two if left in the tank. I'm confused
thanks this helped, i have a craftsman walkbehind and it was having trouble last fall starting. I seemed to help by wiggling the spark plug wire. Well this year before the grass starts growing I bought a tune up kit (oil, plug, filter, gas stab.) After putting all that stuff in the mower except stab. it still wouldnt start so i saw your video and just pulled that screw out and let some gas drain and i cleand the wholes out of that screw and bam it started up. Thanks you saved me buyinng new LM
Colby...at least he went through the trouble to produce a video and post it to youtube, sharing with many the knowledge he has, which I must say is very helpful to me. Instead of criticizing, why don't you do the same thing he did and show everyone what you are talking about??? I would appreciate it and I bet others would to, and you would understand how good it feels to help others.
Note, most B&S engines now have a very different Carb/tank design to this one...my MTD 5.0 early 90s had one like that, but my current Sprint 3.5/3.75/4.0 engines (I dont know what year they are, maybe late 90s/mid 00s, are plastic carb, 5 screws to tank, no float, nothing like that.
DUDE!!! You just saved me a $70 bench fee. This cured my problem instantly.
THANK YOU, thank you, thank you!
Sorry there are so many whiny ungrateful douchebags in the comment section. You just put money in my pocket.
Thanks for sharing. Best tutorial I've seen so far.. I appreciate your help
@ninjato1979 This method did the trick, my lawnmower started right up. I ended up reusing the original gasket as it was still in good condition. If some of it sticks to the nut when removed, you should replace it. The gas in my tank was yellow and smelled bad as he mentions in the video. I'll be sure to run the tank dry in fall to avoid having to clean the carburetor again. Good luck with yours.
