Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!
Thanks brother same to u ...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
I was looking for how to remove the T-Handle type throttle handle, so I could get the fuel-tank out. Nothing on TH-cam about it. So what I used was two claw-hammers, gripped in my right hand on both sides of it, and gave it a shock pull. It popped right off. I even worked in mowers for 5 years, and saw lots of tore-up ones, but This video gave me the idea. So if you are here with a T-Handle Type, ...2 claw hammers works.
Really valuable tips! I'm not a professional, but I've done quite a bit of work on small equipment and received a Craftsman 24" snow blower (247.881721) for service. Could not get the throttle knob off the lever. Put some WD40 into that recess, but no luck. Thought..."Anyone else having this problem???" Came into TH-cam and saw your video and realized this is a common problem. Sprayed some Liquid Wrench into the recess and let it soak in, used the vise grips protecting the plastic with a shop towel, and was able to pull the knob off. Also used your tip to coat the lever with some white grease to ease future removal. Again, thank you!
Thanks for watching! Glad you found the video helpful
Thanks for the tips. Very helpful.
Happy holidays!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year . Great tip , nice slide hammer . Looking forward to next years videos .
Thanks for watching!
I use a heat gun to soften the plastic a bit. Works every time with no damage. Also works well for the choke knob on the Craftsman blowers. Lube up when reinstalling.
Nice, thanks for watching!
great tip with the slide hammer wish we had more snow in the uk so we can play with snow blowers look fun to work on awesome video mate

Nice video son with some nice tips for that throttle lever removal. The washer has more stability when you grind a slot into the vice grips, drive the washer into the slot then weld it up. Tommyr has a great request for a video on how to remove the choke lever maybe you have a video you could suggest to him .
Thanks for watching, and yes, I have an older video that should help.
Awesome job jake . Yea these are a pain in the butt .. i hate doing it .lol . I never thought of using that tool... Vegas tools makes what u have created and i have one lol thanks for the tips . Merry Christmas brother
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
They make a adapter for locking pliers that screws onto the slide hammer , it fits in the adjustment bolt on the pliers. World great and is cheap.
Yes but worried about stripping threads at some point if pulling something that requires more force
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you too! A video on how to remove that cover from the snowblower would be very helpful as I got a new blower like that one a couple of years ago. It's got a Honda style carb on it. Looks a bit tricky to get that cover off, mainly due to the primer supply.
I did a video 2yrs ago on how to remove the carbs on the cub cadet version;
th-cam.com/video/o2g0ItY8nEY/w-d-xo.html
@@EliminatorPerformance Thanks I will go check it out!
@@EliminatorPerformance I checked out the video, mine is the one with the smaller gas tank, it's a little different than that one. And a Craftsman. It has the different cover over the carb. Makes me nervous trying to get it off. I know how to work on the carb though!
@@Tommyr I have faith in you Tommyr and you just need to have faith in yourself and you will remove that cover without issue. No need to be nervous learning is in the doing. Give me a return comment when you remove it, the OLD MAN at EP over and out.
Good Ideas sir great video!! ty , i just cover the carburetor area with a plastic back and pour very hot water over the plastic handle only with a small funnel,bingo,it pops of very easy with a 90 degree pliers and very little effort, make sure you tuck the plastic bag up around so no water gets anywhere and use a air blow gun to blow away all the water before you take it outside in cold weather. ty
Great idea sir
OK I like the vice grip modification. i have a slide hammer and can think of 500 uses for that change you did to it. BTW I used my toque AGAIN today with the mask. Wind chill of -37 at 2 in the afternoon. Merry Christmas to you and family.
Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and your family also Bruce. Glad your getting use of the toque and mask, stay safe and healthy in 2022
Yes that vice grip slide hammer works amazing, for easy stuff like this and also harder things like removing dowels etc. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, thanks for watching!
It would be nice to thread the slide hammer into the vice grip adjustment.
Yes that's how the ones they sell come, the issue is, if you hit the slide too hard, you can actually strip the threads out. I found this way to be better, and also cheaper lol thanks for watching!
@@EliminatorPerformance I guess that would be a problem. I wanted to say that your videos have gotten very good.
@@Goomer You are 100% correct Jake has come a long way from the first videos posted and he always tries to come up with some new content rarely posted on TH-cam. Thanks for the support the OLD MAN at EP over and out!
Old ViceGrips have an Imperial thread thumbscrew which I replace with apiece of allthread (or deheaded Cap screw) and a hangar nut, Hammer on end ViceGrips on the other end. Some knockoff vicegrips have metric thread !
Good to know, I like the washer set up better than the locking pliers slide hammers because they thread into the pliers and I'm thinking if you hit something hard enough it could strip the threads. Thanks for watching!
Always amazed how many people harp on Tecumseh engines but they are better to work on than those Chonda's IMO.
Yes the old Tecumsehs are super simple, now there's snowblowers that I have to remove 10 bolts just to get a panel off before even touching the carburetor lol thanks for watching!
Tecumseh ROCKS!!
Your absolutely correct Al takes no time to remove and install the carb and easy to fine tune with the adjustable carb. Where are you located?
@@waynestefinashen239 I'm in USA. Thanks for subscribing.
Al go to my sons channel and email me your address and i will send you an Eliminator sticker, if you have one of your own we would install it on our cabinet doors and include you in our super sticker shout out when the rest of the stickers have arrived.
Not related to video but is there a way to check snowblower auger gearbox grease level if only plastic top plug? And hard to fill through that port.
Yes pop that plug out and you can use a wooden dowel or something small/thin enough. Usually 3/4 filled is what's recommended, but I use stens 00 grease and fill them almost full then put the plug back in
Is there a throttle tension adjustment?
I have 2018 357cc Powermore engine which just (yesterday) started to "pull back" into about half throttle and not stay in the full throttle position.
Just thought I'd ask before ripping mine apart in frustration..... Lol
Yes! This might be worthy of a video actually lol there's a 10mm nut on a stud that holds this lever on the engine. There's a wave washer under it, sometimes the nut backs off and then the tension of the governor pulls it back. Remove the plastic carb cover and slightly tighten that nut. 8:54 on this video you'll see it: th-cam.com/video/Lk2aXjBXrkk/w-d-xo.html
@@EliminatorPerformance You are THE MAN!!!!
I figured it had to have something like that.
THANK YOU, my brother!!!
What about the choke knob?
On the 208 cc I didn't have to remove that lever because of the cutout in the cover to allow its removal but that d**n choke lever wouldn't pop off. It pulled the vertical shaft out that hooks into the choke lever at the carb. I failed to remove the choke knob when I had it apart. Putting it back together I set choke open and pointed choke knob to run thinking I could just tap shaft back down into lever. Of course not. I broke the lever on the carb. Part not available of course. New carb $100. Rod available on backorder. I then did get choke knob off after find a youtube video that confirmed that it could be removed. Then with super glue and tie straps and a piece of metal the shaft is now permanently attached to the choke lever. I also added a fuel shutoff similar to how I added one to a larger powermore engine. I show that one at gadasa videos on youtube.
Yes I mention that some models you get lucky with that groove, while other models don't have it. This one did, but I was just showing easy ways to remove them.
@@EliminatorPerformance do you have any issues with the choke knob?
@@kenhilson786 no, use 2 slotted screw drivers on each side and pop it up, they come out easy
Newer model able to turn cover sideways without removing throttle knob to remove cover.
Yea the old ones were a pain to remove, thanks for watching!
So you didn’t cover how to get the choke off without breaking it
Just notch out the plastic top and bottom
Also a good suggestion
