Thank you so much for this video! I've never changed a carburetor before. Watched this video and followed it to the letter. Just changed the carburetor today. Fixed the problem and now it runs better than new! Thanks again
Great video, I did accidentally toss the little plastic piece on top of the old carb when I took it off. To replace it I used a slim drywall anchor. I just cut off the bottom and shaved the top to fit with a razor.
Really appreciate this content. Took mine apart yesterday and everything you mentioned that could go wrong with the stock carb is exactly what happened with mine. Looking forward to installing the new one. Thanks!
I have the Courage 21 in my Husqvarna tractor. Bought it brand new in 2007. 416 hours. I only use it for my backyard. Ive found out that even though it gets a bad wrap a little preventative maintenance goes a long way! Seasonal oil, oil filter, air filter and fuel filter changes. Replaced my carb last week. Still runs like a champ!
Thanks ! This was very well explained and also clear when you’re pointing out the different parts. I’m not too handy with motors so this gave me some confidence to try to replace my carburetor.
Thank you for this informative video. 👌 I like that you explained stock setup along with your racing setup, great stuff. Excellent video, very helpful for me as I need to replace carburetor on mine. Leaking exactly as you describe in this video! 👍👍👍👍👍
Very good and easy to follow along. 👍 I have a 2012 Cub Cadet with a Courage 19HP and it has a (Walbro styled) Nikki carb from the factory and know problems yet.
HIPA carbs are great I never had an issue with them on kohler courages or commands and Briggs, I get them with the tune up kits all the time. I end up saving a lot of money when re selling mowers, people get excited when they see new parts on a old mower!
I’ve been putting Hipa carburetors on EVERYTHING for the past year and a half and haven’t had a single problem. They are great affordable aftermarket carburetors.
nice note on the "updated" safety shut off. Except they leak too! I just did my spring start up and it is pouring fuel out of the shutoff on to the exhaust. It looks like a new carb since I can't get this appart to rebuild it.
I’ve been given a Troy Bilt with this engine in it. Like is so far, just wish it had cruise control or something. Noticed it kept having issues with fuel and smoking and small fire around the exhaust. Needed blades, so I’m doing an overhaul on it. Thanks for the info. I thought I spotted a gas leak but wasn’t sure from where lol. Ironically, I mow after work and I’m still usually wearing FR clothing hah!
I'm confused does the Red Wire get connected? If not how does it get power? I currently have one with both wires disconnected and pretty sure the carb is dying or not working correctly. Do I need to connect those red wires together? Please help.
I have the exact same motor and right now it is Surging when you first start it for like five minutes and then it stops and gets a little better could that be caused by a Clog jet inside of the carburetor
Thanks for the great video and explanation. i had to change mine out after 14 years. i purchased the Hipa one a couple years ago and glad i chose the right one. pretty easy to follow along and get it done.
Great video, thank you! I have a Kohler SV620 with the same setup minus the fuel pump. Everything same as this one. I wish I had seen your video before I replaced my carburetor. My choke and throttle linkage both came loose at the control end. I'm having trouble getting them placed and functioning. Could you do a picture or video showing that end? Thank you!
Hey man! I got a question for you. Where does the middle or vacuum hose leads to in the engine? I have the same model but can't figure out where the hoses for the fuel pump lead to?....
I bought carb you mentioned in this video. the hipa carb. cost me less than 30 buc from amazon including shipping. pulled old carb off due to running very roughly at low idle. to start had to have full choke and play with throttle. seems like bad carb, as I changed air filter, plug, oil and oil filter. the old carb had NO GAS LEAKS, just an fyi. installed new carb (hipa one) and the minute I plugged in the gas line, and bowl filled up, gas flowed from sides of bowl, removed, disassembled and found 'O' ring not correctly installed, was not circular, was mis applied, causing bad seal on one side of bowl, corrected seal issue, made sure float not stuck, and reassembled. again, the minute I connected gas line, the bowl filled and now NOT coming out of any side of bowl around seal, so this ok, but NOW gas coming directly out of main carb opening, lightly tapped float bowl (make sure float not stuck, no change). I did start the mower (after putting filter housing on and bolting carb (with all gaskets in place) back to engine).. it started very easily and ran ok from low throttle to full. ran for about 1 min, shut off. and checked for gas flow/leak. STILL leaking from main carb opening. and as for the safety gas shut off kill solonoid, the new hipa carb did not come with instructions on connecting, plug to solonoid. plug will go either way, I am not sure if it makes any difference (positive / negative). as I tried plug both ways as it is NOT KEYED OR NO INDICATION OF POLARITY, if there is one. Any thoughts here, thanks in advance.
Hi, excellent video and explanation. Question, if I leave the throttle lever all the way up in the choke position and shut off the engine, gas pours out voraciously from the carburetor. If I don't leave it up, no leaking. Any thoughts? (old style carb)
Any idea what that plastic clip is cuz it’s missing outta mine and it’s having issues running without it, would rather not jimmy rig something in there as it’s not my mower.
When those cut off solenoids go bad; just cut the end of it off and squirt silicone down in the end of it, bolt it back in (to plug the leak hole) and unplug the cord. You don't need it at all. Mine has been running fine for years without it.
I have a weird problem with mine. The speed control lever moves up and down just fine with all the components underneath. Yet, engine runs at high speed only, regardless where the speed control lever is. In other words, it only has 1 speed, and it is high.
Mine is a 2017 Troy-bilt Horse with the Kohler Courage SV601engine ~22 HP. I have to look at the carb to see if it is the death model. :D I have a question, in the course of this video you talk about a fuel pump, with yours being on the side, and others maybe inside the cover cowling. My mower seems to have a direct line from the gas tank bottom to the inline filter and then to the carb. This means the bottom of the tank is roughly at the same height as the carb instead of raised where gravity might help fuel flow. I am experiencing a situation with the mower where it runs fine with a full tank of gas, but once it is about half full or lower the engine starts to cough and cut out on uphill inclines. Tank is clean, lines are clean new filter, so I'm guessing carb may need work? Would a pump help me you think? Hope you have a suggestion or two. :) Love your channel. Just now fixing the mower steering with that stupid weak design brass hex flange bearing. :)
Think I'll get the Hipa carb anyway, even if a pump is advisable also. $40 for the carb and a maintenance kit with all the other stuff is a good buy I think. Thanks for this video!
Thanks for the very helpful video. I followed your advice and installed a Hipa Carb just like you did. However, I cannot get the engine to start unless I shoot a little carb cleaner in the throat of the carb. It then fires and runs, actually running longer than the carb cleaner would sustain; so apparently ran on gas for a minute plus. But, when I turned it off, I cannot get it to start again. Since it ran with carb cleaner, I know it's getting fire. Installed a new inline filter and a nice shut-off ball valve and have proved that gas is getting to the carb. When I power up the fuel solenoid, I can hear and feel the solenoid pick. I'm stumped. Will certainly appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
Sounds like a choke adjustment might have been messed with or got stuck. The start with fuel added shows the mix is wrong in the carb this is normally caused by the choke not being fully closed at start up position on the throttle.
@@redneckcomputergeek Thank you very much. I'll pursue that possibility. Appreciate your quick response. As you know, these no-starts get pretty frustrating.!
@@redneckcomputergeek I checked the choke and it sure appears to be closing fully, I even put my thumb across the choke plate to ensure limited air was getting through, when cranking,but still no luck. So, now I'm not sure what to do to get it running. Any other suggestions, please?
Hi! I just purchased and replaced the carb from Hipa parts. However, after replacing and following your very helpful video, the mower is not starting. The red wire on the replacement is plastic and it is metal inside on the stock version. It seems the connection is not compatible. Am I missing something for this step? Thanks!!
Carbonator? You must be watching Taryl videos. I can only tolerate a certain small number of his videos before I’m clicking the stop button. But he does look like he knows what he’s doing when he fixes things.
Mmm, what happened to wiring up the solenoid you never showed in video you hooked it up, and why don't you have custom fit K&N air filter in the Koler racing engine betterthan nothing but screen mmm Not good. K&N filters make you special filter if you E-mail them. And I'll comment on that solenoid I was lucky on my briggs 22 hp cutting grass with rider engine just died out and white smoke poured out from hood come to find out fast the stupid solenoid was burning the black plastic I was lucky it didn't burn tractor outside on grass to ground that solenoid is 156.00 holy shit, So it running without solenoid I fixed it as bolt type screwed to float bowl with in-line fuel shut-off Now installed. Now it's safe.

Excellent video! I've been showing my ignorance with this carb for too long.
A Kohler Courage that sets itself on fire! Sounds like more of a solution than a problem!
Cracked up

Great tip there Young Man 😎 glad you recognize that issue with this matter of the carb on a Kohler engine
Thanks for the heart young man 😎
My day is always better when you upload

Very detailed video about carburetor replacement. I am glad that hipa carburetor helps here. Thanks for sharing.
This video does amazing and sells 10 to 20 carburetors a month :) Glad to be working with you!
@@redneckcomputergeek we can continue the collaboration and we just have a new program on shareasale for our website.

Good video- getting ready to change one

I also have a heat shield that sits behind the carb. Do I install the gasket AFTER I install the heat shield or after?
I'm confused does the Red Wire get connected? If not how does it get power? I currently have one with both wires disconnected and pretty sure the carb is dying or not working correctly. Do I need to connect those red wires together? Please help.
yes
Well done. Thanks!
I have the exact same motor and right now it is Surging when you first start it for like five minutes and then it stops and gets a little better could that be caused by a Clog jet inside of the carburetor
If you have the solenoid disabled, do you need the ground?
Well done. You could be a teacher at a trade school. Also, I can’t believe that there has not been a recall of this carburetor!
Thank you. Some of my videos are used by teachers :) Agreed on the recall!
Would you suggest changing all parts out supplied in kit, thee pump filter spark plug etc. Or just the carburetor
Thanks for the great video and explanation. i had to change mine out after 14 years. i purchased the Hipa one a couple years ago and glad i chose the right one. pretty easy to follow along and get it done.
Any idea how to replace the spring on the arm that attaches to the back of the carb ?
what is the plastic peice that you take off the old one called?
Where do the springs hook up on one that cuts the grass and not a race one ?
Same carb I have mine want stay running unless chock is set all the way up any help
I was not expecting it to shoot flames
My throttle is hitting heat shield I’ve never had this problem before it is up against it is it just suppose to move forward towards the front
Great video, thank you! I have a Kohler SV620 with the same setup minus the fuel pump. Everything same as this one. I wish I had seen your video before I replaced my carburetor.
My choke and throttle linkage both came loose at the control end. I'm having trouble getting them placed and functioning. Could you do a picture or video showing that end? Thank you!
Good video thanks for sharing 👍
Any way you can show where the houses from fuel pump go to? I have this mower but it’s missing the fuel pump.
Hey man! I got a question for you. Where does the middle or vacuum hose leads to in the engine? I have the same model but can't figure out where the hoses for the fuel pump lead to?....

at 5:36 what size bolt was that?

I think I'm going to have to do this on mine. Today, all of a sudden, gas was literally pouring out of the carb!
I have a white wire next to the red one what does it do
Where does it go I see no connection

Most likely one of the carburetor setting screws needs adjusting. I have run into that before.

Interesting I will email them. The solenoid has to have a power and ground. Red wire power black wire side of the engine.
@@redneckcomputergeek thank you! Is there a way I could send you a photo of what I'm describing?
So , I guess the new carb. did not come with the little plastic clip?
It did not. Have sent an email about it to the sponsor representative of the company. To see if its an oversite where it is a new design.
@@redneckcomputergeek great, thanks.
Can you eliminate the governor?
