![How to Fix a Lawn Mower by Cleaning the Carburetor [Briggs & Stratton and Tecumseh]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ultzCF9Wj4I/mqdefault.jpg)
Thank you! Because of this video, this gen X single mom just got her generator running 1 day before the ice storm rolls in.
Awesome! 😃 Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns!
You don’t need to mention that you have kids it’s irrelevant and nothing to be proud of since there are more than 8 billion humans and humans are destroying this beautiful planet and bringing hundreds of precious endangered usefulness species 😐
For those that dont have a tiny wire i just used a staple and bent it straight. Worked like a charm, snowblower is up and running again! Thanks for the video!
Fantastic walkthrough!! Couldn’t get mine to start with gas, but it would start with Propane. I’ve never taken apart a carburetor, so I was a bit timid to try it. Thanks to this video my generator works on gas again!!! It was filthy, all of the jet holes and solenoid bolt holes were plugged.
Over decades I have worked on many small engine carburetors, this is an impressively informative and detailed easy to follow instruction on carburetor cleaning.
Glad it was helpful!
I bought a used 3100w Champion 75537i that had literally never been run. Gas was orange when I drained it. Carb was spotless. I put in new gas...and it still wouldn't start. So I pumped the new gas out. Turns out there's a tiny white plastic inline fuel filter stuck up into the nipple at the bottom of the fuel tank. You can't see it until you remove the fuel line. I pried it out and sure enough the remaining gas in the tank flowed right out. The filter is so small it clogs really easily. Once I fixed that the thing ran like a top. Great unit, but that filter is not.
Thanks for video. I opened carburetor 3 times before I watched this video, There was bit more to open and clean 😂
Me too 😂😂
Great video. Gave me the confidence to have a go at the carb on my generator that wasn’t running. Took me a couple of goes to get it right but eventually started like a new one. Much appreciated.
Thanks for this video! Helped me clean the carb in my Simpson Generator.
Saved me about 400 bucks !!! Thank you very much.
Glad it helped!
These carbs are on Amazon for $30 or less.
Thank you!!
i like how you get straight to the task unlike taling for 15 then doing said task for the last 3
Thank you so much. I couldn't start my tiller no matter how many times I tried. It would start up for a few seconds after I primed it but then it would die. I followed your instructions and and now my tiller starts right up.
short and very effective way of explaining. well done.
Thank you for the video I took apart my carburetor, but I couldn’t remember the orientation of the cylinder that goes above the main jet.
I just a love a good how to video without all the fluff.
I also learned a few other important “what to do” things that I wasn’t aware of before.
Glad it helped!
Excellent description , i know what to do now with confidence. Should save me alot of time.
Fantastic
great step by steps thank you
Excellent video providing step by step with diagram to clean Carb. I have my iPower 2000 generator Carb that is clogged from gunk over 2 years of storage w/o draining the fuel from the fuel tank. In order to get to Carb, I removed the entire side frames plus etc.Now have clean and assemble Anyways, thank you so much😊
Glad it helped!
well done video.
Thank you.
I've got a yamaha ef3000iseb generator I've taken carb off 3 times to clean and it was still acting up I totally missed pilot jet under capture plate all 3 times lol ..taking it off right now for 4th time to clean pilot jet and it's totally clogged up ..thanks a lot for your info buddy hopefully this fixes my issue
Montez un filtre à essence ou carburant. Utilisez du carburant récemment acheté.
Thanks to this video I now know that my new toro timecutter myride zero turn mower doesn't have a carburator problem. I don't know what it is but it is not the carburetor. It's not the fuel filter. It's not the fuel. It's not the fuel pump. The spark plug chamber might be flooding, not sure. But why would it.
Thank You for your help everything you said works 😊
Happy to hear!
I have heard to avoid using a wire to clean the nozzle as it is usually a soft metal like brass. The holes of the nozzle are very carefully calibrated, and even gentle cleaning with a wire can affect the fuel air balance. If possible, I have been advised to only use carb cleaner for the nozzle.
This I knew. IT'S the doing of it that kills me.
There is not a problem using a wire, the issue is to ensure the wire is much smaller than the hole to be cleaned. Using a wire too large or drill could damage the brass/Aluminum and May effect the operation. Carburetors are all made of soft metals, plastics and precision parts. A gentle approach to any carburetor work and adjustment is necessary at all times.
Thks
Don't over tighten the main huh. Should tell these manufacturers that . They don't seem to get the picture over at kohler
How much is a brand new carburetor? This seems like alot of work.
For which model specifically do you need a replacement carburetor for?
Do you use carburetor cleaner and dw-40?
Yes, both of those should be fine. 👍
What do you do when all that is done and the engine runs too rich? There is no mixture adjustment. The plug is black, the engine runs, but smooths out and speeds up after turning off the fuel tap. Classic symptoms of running too rich. Needs a smaller hole in the main jet? The main jet has a hole 0.029" diameter - what should it be?
We are sorry to hear this. Are you at a high altitude? If the generator operates too rich, it may be due to elevation, & would need an altitude jet installed for gasoline operation. We recommend cleaning the spark arrestor as well of any carbon buildup. 👍
For the main jet to be too big I would expect you would have to be at very high altitude to be as rich as you claim.
Are you 100% certain you have followed and completely cleaned the entire carb, jets and passages exactly as stated in the video.
How old is the generator, has it been used extensively in a dirty construction environment. If yes then check that the air filter is clean or new. Make sure the choke is connected and functioning correctly.
Another question make sure the generator is used out doors only and is not tightly enclosed into some custom sound deadening structure/box. The carburetor must breathe fresh outdoor air and the exhaust must vent directly to the out doors only.
@@ChampionPowerEquipmentHQ We are at sea level. It is a rototiller and has run too rich from the word go - new last year. You refused to sell me a new main jet, saying that you could or would not ship to my address, despite that fact that you had shipped a new float chamber gasket ring only two weeks earlier. You suggested I change my address. So much for customer assistance.
❤❤❤
4:03 I tore the lower rubber seal when inserting it, it seems expanded already and weak. Is it ok without that one?
We do recommend having a seal to prevent any sort of leakage. At your earliest convenience, please give us a call at 1-877-338-0999 or email us at support@cpeauto.com for further assistance.
@@ChampionPowerEquipmentHQ I have tried calling you - no response after 20m minutes, emailed you twice without you replying, and your parts department says it cannot ship to my address. Where is your customer service?
Anything on altitude jets
We have several altitude jet videos in our Help Center that are directly tied to our TH-cam channel: help.championpowerequipment.com/search/altitude

Bought this for my small back deck in the Eastern Sierra. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN We get A LOT of HEAVY snow so I was a bit skeptical but it was worth it! After the first storm of the year this has exceeded expectations! It throws snow very well, even 10-12” + that said the more it piles up the harder it is to maneuver the machine. It is exceptionally light weight and overall exactly what I was looking for. If you have a large amount of snow and a lot of area to clear, you may consider something with a drive engine to help maneuverability, but for decks, second stories, roofs etc, you can’t beat the light weight to great snow throwing ratio. Side note, the chute rotator is a bit flimsy and it initially didn’t seem to work, after a few uses it seems to have loosened up.
Put the champion site link in description.
Remove the "Float Bowl Bolt o-ring" before using carb cleaner. As a matter of fact, remove all the o-rings before you use the carb cleaner. I didn't, and had to make a trip to the auto parts for a o-ring replacement kit, carb cleaner will eat up the o-rings.
Carb cleaner or wd40 ?
We recommend using carb cleaner. 🙂
I think I will just replace it, call me lazy 😄
Step 1: put on gloves before spraying a strong degreaser all over your hands.
Did a clean put back together now gas pours out at the front gasket
We are very sorry to hear this. Check to make sure everything was put back tightly, as well as seals. If the issue persists, please give us a call at 1-877-338-0999 or email us at support@cpeauto.com. Thank you.
is this wd 40?
Oils like WD-40 must be used to clean out carburetors. Carb cleaners like Gumout are recommended to do this. 👍🏼
I like how you say carb cleaner yet use WD40 😂
This looks insanely complicated for an amateur. In "step 1," you didn't even show how you removed the carb.
Probably because every setup and machine is different? And they literally said find your model and see how to remove the carb
Stay away from Westinghouse!!!! If you want a generator that is carelessly delivered direct from the factory in a torn up box, this is your generator.
If you want a generator that won’t turn on and spend countless hours with their tech support and opening up multiple cases, this would be perfect for you.
Long wait times to speak to a technician in customer service and poor service. No way to reach a manager
I wouldn’t wish this generator on my worst enemy. No way to speak to management.
By the way, shame on you Westinghouse for have such a crappy generator and service that left me without power during the Texas freeze.
My biggest regret is buying the WGen11500TFc - Tri-Fuel with CO Sensor
Step 76...this is a joke honestly. No other brand have I had as much carburetor issues as I've had with Champion.
We are sorry to hear this. Please give us a call at 1-877-338-0999 or email us at support@cpeauto.com, so we may help address any concerns you may have. Thanks for your patience. 🙂
You have to shut the fuel off and let it run to die to drain the bowl. I've had Champion for years and it starts 1st pull. And add some preserv to the fuel as well.
