- Removing a carburetor torx stud is easy to remove once you know how to do it. In this video, I'm going to show you how to remove a carburetor that is mounted with a torx stud, and show you how to clean it.
My carburetor was overflowing fuel into the engine, so I'm pretty sure the need valve was stuck in the open position.
I'm going to show you how to clean the carburetor so that it never gets gummed up again.
Here are some things from Amazon that will make it a lot easier:
Carb Cleaner: amzn.to/2O9VHDd
Socket Set: amzn.to/34IxDge
6 in 1 Screw Driver: amzn.to/2LxrV9L

Sweet! I told my mother-in-law I'd work on her generator for her. Won't start and I'm positive the carb is gummed up. But I ran into those torx head studs and thought I was gonna have to start spending $ on this, but your 4mm socket trick worked great. Thanks for taking the time to share this video!
Thank you so much! I am trying to repair my friend's Big Red Troy Bilt tiller and it had the tork head on the bolt and I have looked at numerous youtube videos and thankfully yours popped up. My friend is 86, I'm 73 (both female). After cleaning or replacing the carburetor, replacing the on/off switch, I think everything will run perfectly. Thanks again!
Just ran across the Briggs "male torx head bolts" and couldn't decide what to call them to find the right tool. Thanks for figuring that out just in time for a winter cold snap. Just need to get the darn carb off and was about to take the vice grips to it which I try to avoid. Didn't look like something a socket would work on. I'll get it off in the morning and clean it up.
Thank you for posting. My Generac generator is circa 2000-2001 with 11 HP Briggs.
Thanks for the video!
Gotta add, you're kinda lucky if the 4 mm or 5/32 socket works.
Either
- use an E-Torx 4 or 5 socket which matches it,
- or use the old time trick of 2 M6 nuts tightened together and turn left on the forward one.
Learned that last one from restoring MGs.
Perfect! The torx head had me really stumped for several days(!), because I couldn't really see it properly to recognize it - a complete showstopper - until I saw your video. Now I know what it is and how to remove it in 2 seconds. None of the instructions for my snowblower or any other videos mentioned this. You have made a huge difference to my day. Thank you.
THANK YOU! went through a bunch of videos ,non had this type of screw .hope i didnt mess up the torx head!👍
Glad it helped!
YOU ROCK!!! I almost spent $15 on a torx socket set that I will probably never use again and also saved a trip to a parts store or a 3 day wait for a shipped socket set. I simply pushed in tight on my 1/4" gearless ratchet and applied smooth even pressure praying I wouldn't twist or strip the stud head. It came loose easily, but with a bit more pressure than I was expecting, however no damage was done. Thanks!!!
That’s great! Glad to help.
Saved my day with the 4mm socket tip. Thank you for posting this.
You're welcome, glad it helped you out!. Thanks for watching, and consider subscribing if you like these types of videos.
we tried everything! a 5mm worked like a charm! life saver! almost just bought a whole new wood splitter because of the carb!
Sweet! Glad it helped you out. I know it got me at first.
Great tip. 4mm worked perfectly. Thanks for posting the tip!
You’re welcome! Glad it helped you out.
Haha, who can keep track of a 4mm socket? Guess I'll tell the boss I need another new tool set!
Good tip Jeremy, I got my generac cleaned out last year and running good but I let gas sit in my Honda generator one year and that's all it takes, so that one is next. Thanks again for sharing buddy. Jay 👍👍
Thanks, Jay! That ethanol can wreck small engines. Now I just need to remember to drain the fuel out of the tank at the end of hurricane season, too.
What's up, Jay. I haven't heard from you in a while, I hope you and your family are doing well.
It worked. Thank you
Awesome, glad it helped! Thanks for watching.
E Torx (Inverted Torx). Should be an E4 socket. I just used a set of 4" Vise Grips. Just aft of the crosshatched flat jaws where the serrations start works. Don't squeeze too hard. Some Never-seize when you reinstall.
Thank you , I was stumped I do not own torx sockets and have no idea what size torx socket I would need to buy.
It’s not a torx socket. It’s a regular socket that fits over the stud
@@IAmAFixer thanks I understand , that is why I said "I was stumped " . but after watching your video I was not. thanks again.
That looks like mine... is this a 4mm Torx "E4" or a normal socket?
