Easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials do it yourself (DIY) to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers.
I do my best to teach you how to easily diagnose problems the fastest, quickest and most efficient way with real repairs beyond just replacing a spark plug. These tips are for both the homeowner and shop owner.
Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like a chainsaw, weed eater, weed wacker, string trimmer, grass trimmer, line trimmer, hedge trimmer, strimmer, brush cutter, leaf blower, or four stroke, four cycle units like a lawnmower, wood splitter, lawn tractor, snowblower, pressure washer, generator or a ride on mower that needs parts installed or replaced, I’m your go-to guy.
My favorite brands of spark plugs are NGK and Champion and are the ones I recommend.
I’ve been a small engine mechanic for many decades and also run my own repair shop so my videos are loaded with tips and tricks that I have learned and want to share with you. You will also find many tool and product reviews from top brands on my channel as well.
I have the largest Small Engine Repair Video Library on RUclips and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!
I want "DON THE SMALL ENGINE DOCTOR" on RUclips to save you time, frustration and most importantly, MONEY with my HOW-TO videos!

I saw this video while trying to repair a 5-4993 Walbro. The last thing I wanted to do is to replace the seat...… but it was still failing after doing all the other tasks. I had to replace the seat...…. Your idea of tapping the insert is BRILLIANT. I am in the UK and I threaded it with metric tap. It worked PERFECTLY. I didn't grind a socket, I simply used a length of steel tube. Surprisingly, the OUTSIDE of the seat had corroded (electrolytically?) and was allowing fuel to bypass the needle valve and seat. Another surprise! I assume that water had entered the carb and been allowed to stand.
Anyway, thanks again...… that saved me a HUGE amount of shouting as swearing!
You do have all the good stuff, and the best part is you're not afraid to share it! :>)
Thanks Dony
always showing the best techniques to make the job easier.
great job, cant wait for more videos on snowblowers and lawnmowers and string trimmers
again thanks for all your great advice.
keep them coming.
I will never have to do this type of work, but I just enjoy watching all your videos because they are so well made.
Never say Never. You may end up fixing someones mower for a few bucks.
@@LiezerZero yes that is exactly how i a 14 year old became a riding mower or a small engine fanatic
Worked like a charm for me! Thank you for showing how to replace the seat with common tools!
Ive made this repair on an old B/S tractor and know it works, thanks for making a nice clean video of how to do it!
I never thought you could replace that cool thanks for the video
Blew my mind dernit that little jig you made. 👍👍Makes me happy to see ppl who not only use knowledge but give as well. Excellent video. Thank you sir. I will probably use this info many times over.
Thanks for the demonstration! I'll be doing this repair as soon as the parts come in.
Your the man donyboy, best video's on u tube. well explained. well done...
Excellent video. I was just looking for info on cleaning the carb, but this breaks it all down enough. Thx.
Once again you have helped me with your video. Thankyou so much for posting these!
Salesman told me replacing the needle and seat probably would'nt fix the problem. Mower now runs better than ever!
Thanks again!
thank you very much for going to the trouble to post this excellent video. this has sorted my issue with a flooding Murray.local repair shop just wanted to put a new carb into it. its an old mower and i didn't want to spend a small fortune fixing it.
Dony, what can I say ? you da man ! I don't even own that lawn tractor but I learned a lot watching this ! thank you !
Straight to the point I love that
Hey man! I just want to thank you do being so helpful. In my 8 years of working on these engines, I am now almost 15. I started when my uncle gave me a Briggs & Stratton 5hp Fun Power on a go kart from. Great engine, didn't want to mess it up, so I learned the majority of my knowledge on a little 3hp updraft carb engine. I loved that little engine, and I cranked it over, took it apart, put it back together, everything. I would take rides with my dad on the gokart now and then. I started driving about age 7 and a half. Great times. My dad taught me various things with that little 3 horse, like pulling the valves in and out, lapping, working on the carb, and other things. once I was experienced, I took down the engine to prepare myself for what I should expect in an engine. I noted all of the parts and figured it out. I sadly had to trash it because we were moving into a smaller home. I was able to keep some engines, thankfully. That was an older 4.0 Quantum and a 3.5. I have now a 5hp Fun Power, a '70 2.5hp Golden Boy engine on an edger, a restored '60s 2hp, a restored '54 Briggs Model 5S, a '94 horizontal 3.5hp, a '00 5hp lawn mower engine that I'm rebuilding, and a few others, including 2 cycles. Thank you for your help. You have been a source for about 80% of my knowledge on these engines, no joke. I can not thank you enough. By the way, on a small 3.5hp horizontal shaft with a pulsa jet carb, how would I pop out the welch plug on the front of the carb. Thank you Don
+Mitchell Richardson you're welcome Mitchell, I rarely replace those welsh plugs but usually I carefully drill a small hole then use a pick to pry out
Always a pleasure to see you perform useful repairs. And we are the lucky ones!
Dony you did a very good job on replacing the seat by tapping new threads and pulling it out. I have seen a job done differently and that was, by putting in a self tapping screw in the seat and pulling it out by just pulling on the screw and out it came. It saved a lot of time.
I couldn't find anywhere that showed how to take the seat out. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! You save me from going crazy....LOL
At the back of the carb between motor and carb there is a track effect. The gas is leaking from there when I put it back together? Is that because the needle and seat isn’t working ?
Clean video, something very rare in this community, good job!
sure appreciate this and all your videos Don... very easy to understand ... you make my life a lot easier. thanks muchly
Thanks once again Dony. Your videos are very helpful to me. Have a Great weekend.
Great video young man. Will be ordering parts to repair my mower. Easy instructions to follow.
Great video I used a 1/4" x 28 tap and 1/4"x28 bolt to remove seat donyboy73 keep them coming
thanks for the tips Don!
What a brilliant idea for removing the Seat .👍
Great job donny always love your stuff very accurate
Thank's a LOT!!! It's working well!
Excellent, as always. Thank you for making the effort to share your knowledge.
+MIKE O'BRIEN you're welcome
@@donyboy73 can you use pressure gauge to test to check the seat you just installed
TY FOR A VERY GOOD VIDEO, LEARN A LOT ON CARBS. GOD BLESS
Perfect timing for me. I need to replace two for both my tractors I have the parts and was struggling to find a good way to remove the old seat
Nice vid. Thank you!
Thanks that was excellent I didn't know you could thread them without breaking the housing
thats ingenious. amazing work
Excellent information. Thanks!!
thanks for for taking the time to show us this
Right on Donny , I thought I was the only one that knew this trick .. LOL ! Thumbs up man works super well ..
+ShawnMrFixitlee thanks for watching
I wouldn't have had a clue how to do this before watching this video. After watching this, I could do this myself. The clever tricks of grinding down the 1/2" wrench , and the socket , are tricks of the trade that you have learned and are sharing. The quality of your videos and your teaching skills are excellent. Thank you Sir!
+arciefan you're welcome, make sure you are subscribed
this guy has great info thanks bro great work and thanks for the knowledge
Thanks Don!
Great Video! The little puller was an excellent idea!!
Dony, very, very helpful! Thank you!
Great info as always

Thank you donyboy. i will be trying tomorrow. like the idea of using a nut and bolt to install the new brass seat. 2 thumbs up!
Great video - thanks for sharing - have a great weekend.
excellent vid dony. very helpful
Well done thanks for shearing this process.
I like those wood slats you use in the vise, and the socket. I change them in much the same way Dony. Thanks for taking the time to show us yer knowledge!
+Dave Horst have a good weekend
Great Video!
Thank you! This is a lot of help to a laymen, like myself, so I can do my own repairs. Your video is very well made!
+Clarence Pinkerton thanks
Thank you! This seems to be similar to my own problem. I’ll check the oil, as you showed, in the morning.
always interesting, thank you ...
Thank you! from mid michigan.
Excellent video! Thanks!
Very smart thanks for sharing!!!!
Super informative.
Hi Donny: Great Video, I ordered parts the other day as far as the Toro installation tool I was told it is discontinued !!
Excellent job!
Don, excellent vid thanks.
Good video Dony!!!!!!
Thank you doctor 👍🏻
Great teacher.
Smashing :-D, i like your tap method, controlled extraction with minimal force ;-D
+zx8401ztv thanks
Excellent VIDEO THANK
thank you, nice trickes to fix carb
That was incredibly helpful. Thanks. It turned out I just had some oil and muck stopping the needle, which meant the engine was flooding with petrol.
Excellent video. Thank you.
Thanks great video , a big help for me.
Don, thanks! I had a B&S 17 hp ohv engine crank case fill up with fuel and managed to stop what I was doing to check the oil, finding it full of fuel like you show. Got the carb off and was trying to figure out how to get that solenoid off with the tools I have. Thanks for showing. By the way, there is another vid online regarding how the solenoid can fail also, causing the same results with the B&S engine! I want to thank you for saving me tons of money, too, I just retired and am on fixed income that does not budget for this kind of problem (engine ruining!!!). I wish you well, sir!
A faulty anti backfire solenoid will not cause the engine to flood with gas. It can how ever cause the engine not to run or cause a backfire as the plunger isn't fast enough to stop the fuel flow.
great video. excellent photography, good editing. thanks
+James Mullins thanks James, have a good weekend
Great. I was going to do it like so but Google and YT is my friend and it payed off. It wont hurt to look for pros. 👍

Thumbs Up, Good Home tool Tips in this video
Homemade tools are the best! :)
nice to know thanks for making the vid .
very good,,,awesome info.!!!
Awesome, thanks
Great video Don! Have a good weekend.
+cubbeezx thanks, you too
used a bolt extractor to remove the seat on mine. worked good. hadnt thought of threading it though, and using a "bolt & socket" puller
Already had the ground half inch wrench, now I've got a ground down extended socket. Yours is much cleaner. I managed with an angle grinder. Thanks for the very informative video!
Thank you!
Never had to replace a seat, but it's good to know. Thanks
Awesome, and thanks! You have my Like and Subscription!
Excellent video! New subscriber here. Thanks for sharing!
as always, good video.
Thanks for this function information, I have the same on my 12hp Viking mt780.
By myself it's sand in ohhh no.
Thank you.
Bravo!!!
Thanks Donyboy. I prefer your second method of extraction, because it utilizes all of the threads at the beginning, when the force would need to be the highest (probably doesn't matter for this job). I would look hard for a piece of tubing before I would go to the trouble of grinding down a socket. :=) Do you have any suggestions on how to grind it?
Thanks again,as always your awesome Don,love your videos,you show neat tricks!!
thanks
Hey got a ? for you? How do you flush lawn mower engine after gas got in oil,because carb float was bad and didn't know it.I drained the oil.Had gas in exhust,got that out.I'm just wondering if filling it with new oil and running it to get it hot,then drain it again would clean it out?
Good video,,
I'm addicted to your videos! They are a wealth of knowledge.
make sure to watch all 1000 of them
I will let you know when I'm finished.
I watched a video last night where a guy pulled a needle valve seat, but your way is much, much better. Tapping for a ¼" bolt is way more precise and makes sure the seat comes straight up. His was pulled at an angle. I'll find an old ⅜" socket and thin it out on my bench grinder. He did compare the depth to the exposed darker mark on the other seat in contrast to the shiny seated part, so that's a good way to check. I'm looking for a carb adjustment procedure for a Briggs carb on a 4-stroke Briggs 20 HP single cylinder OHV in my tractor mower, but ran across this one, which was great. If you have one, please give me a link for it. Thanks and Happy Holidays.
good job
