Even us A&P's like advice and input sometimes...
Awesome video.... my mowers been running bad, dying, I changed the air filter, ran a fuel system cleaner, topped off oil all to no avail.... followed this and when finished it cranked like new on one pull.
EXCELLENT JOB!
I know you topped off your oil, but if the oil is over a season old or has 25 hours of run time. Now is a good time to change it!
Sorry for the delay in comments, YT never notified me!
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel channel 🦅🤙🏻🇺🇸🔧
Great help it was my first time fixing a lawnmower. Thanks a lot.
Sorry I missed this comment, not sure how! How you fixed any more since ☺️?
If you haven’t already please change the oil!
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🦅🇺🇸🔧🤙🏻
Thanks for the training, It was the exact problem I needed to resolve. Bravo Zulu Mate.
Excellent job! Hopefully you are still in fix it mode, change the oil! If you feel inclined sharpen the blade.
Those videos are on the channel as well! Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸🦅
Stuck at "give it a little twist". Mine won't twist. Shoved a flat head screw driver under it and it popped right off. Also, success. Once I cleaned it and put it back together it runs like new. Thank you for the video.
I understand the task at hand is frustrating due to a few things. Patience is always key when doing something for the first time. There is also nothing wrong with going back and redoing it.
I am VERY HAPPY you got it all sorted out! GREAT JOB AND FIX! Hopefully you are still in fix it mode! Now is a great time to change the oil (if you never have) and sharpen the blade. You can also clean out your air filter or replace it as well.
I have videos on those as well!
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🔧🦅🤙🏻🇺🇸
Great video! Took about two hours and a $6 can of carb cleaner and she runs like a champ
AMAZING JOB! Hopefully still in fix it mode...now is a great time to change the oil
Really appreciate this video.I have same engine and problem. I pulled carb and took it apart and cleaned it except the plastic piece with three jets.Was'nt sure if it came out so I did'nt bother. Wish I had of found this video first. Now I have too do it all over again.Lol. Thanks again.
I’m so sorry I missed this comment!
How did you make out with the mower? These new carbs are something else 😂
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🔧🦅🇺🇸🤙🏻
So, I got the same mower from a neighbor off the street. It was exactly the same problem. I saw another TH-cam video where the problem was the flywheel brake and not the carb. We both got lucky that it was the carb…nice job. I might put a fuel filter in line from the tank just for gags.
The fuel filter on these machines is inline right at the tank where it hooks up to fuel line! YOU GOT LUCKY yours was FREE too!
Thanks for the video, my mower is working again!
GREAT JOB! Hopefully you are still in FIX IT mode and it’s good time to change the oil if you have not as well as sharpen the blade. I have videos on that…machine calls for 20 OZ of 30 Weight oil. In reality if you 5w-30/10w-30 in your garage you will be fine!
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅🔧
Thank's for the video we will see if this solves the problem with ours.We have this exact same one and it's giving us the same problem but it just hit the 2 year limited warranty mark in August, so off to TH-cam we went and found your video it was actually the first one to pop up so we are going to follow your lead and hopefully it'll be back up and running.
Monisha Wiltz DARNIT! Hate when that happens! Glad you are taking the repair on yourself! Feel free to ask any questions and I will try my best to answer them in a timely fashion! Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel!
Thanks bud! Got mine working 😊
adriangale AMAZING! Great Job! Don’t forget to change the oil at the end of the season! 🔧🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel!
Thank you very much for this video. Huge help and solved my issue!!
THANK YOU FOR TRYING! These videos mean nothing with out people like yourself who take the initiative!
Hopefully still in fix it mode! Now is a great time to change the oil and sharpen the blade 🇺🇸🦅🔧🤙🏻
In metric it’s 7mm and 8mm that seems to fit.
Good find. Just few days ago I found a old Briggs classic on push mower. Brought it back to life. With some parts from scraps mowers and new diaphram
D Fields Thanks Mr. Fields! I will try to make note the next time I come around. I just SUV’s to your page and GREAT SAVE on the mower!
Got mine running thanks to this video however I missed the part about the larger air intake house that you attach as you put back air filter carb plate. That was tough to seat back in.
Thank--you, you are good...now let me try mine and see can I do this.
Thanks a lot. I was thinking of getting a new before I saw this video. I t saved a lot for me
Hopefully you are still in fix it mode…now is a great time to sharpen the blade, change the oil as well as clean or replace the air filter!
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you gave the video a thumbs up to help others and subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸🦅
THANKYOU!! Revived my Masport 550EX with this video. Much appreciated.
All the way from across the pond!
Hopefully you are still in fix it mode! Now is a great time to change the oil and service the rest of the machine!

@@pattayperformance that's exactly what she got. New oil, air filter and spark plug. Runs like a dream now.
@@matthewlax919 ROCK STAR!
Happy Mowing!
thank you very much for your very descriptive and detailed video. I just fixed my lawnmower by copying each one of your steps.
zee ash THATS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT! GREAT JOB!
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅🔧
@@pattayperformance yes i did
This is the second time I cleaned my carburetor using this video. I used to have to bring it into the repair shop every year, but I switched to ethanol free gas and the carburetor doesn't need to be cleaned that often any more, but it's time for another oil change. Thanks again!
If you ever go back to Ethanol Fuel...make sure you run the mower dry at the end of season! THANK YOU FOR CHANGING THE OIL :)
I have the same mower, I bought it used it had an oil leak which I repaired, put oil n gas it starts up fine however when I release the governor lever it doesn’t stay running.
Can you make more maintenance videos on this? I am wondering how to clean up and restore underneath the top piece that spins with the rope. I unscrewed the 3 bolts on top and noticed some corrosion on the metal inside. Thanks for the video!
That’s they fly wheel, let it be.
Thanks for view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel.
Are you on Instagram?
"It does matter" which way the bowl cover gets re-installed. He was off camera and had to turn the bowl 180 degrees before it would go on correctly
It's 2 bolts that secure the bowl to the body. Its going to line up or its not.
How the bowl goes on does matter and it looks like that you might have been putting it on incorrectly but you went out of frame and when you came back it looked right. The bowl goes on with the rectangular box over the jet package if you put it together with the drain plug over the jet they push on each other and the pressure can cause the drain plug to leak, like in emptying the tank.
Thanks for the tip…I’ve guess I’ve been very lucky/never noticed it while take them apart and putting them back together. Next one I get I will mark it before removal and try to install it 180 out
@@pattayperformance I´ve had mine apart three times today and I can´t get it to stay running. It gets the initial start and dies. I´m going to check out the tank tomorrow and clean it out the best I can and look at the carb again. Thanks for the reply.
@@dennisboyce813,
If it runs and dies, in most cases it is fuel.
Try this…need some ninja skills or have help. Keep air filter cover off, start the mower and it will start. As it starts to die, spray starter fluid into the carb. If the mower continues to run, it is still a fuel delivery issue.
It's best to remove the shroud to give you more room to remove and install the carb
correct! thart breather tube is finicky at times
Thank you so much for making this video,
I will try to follow the instructions.
What is the spray you are using?
You can use brake clean or carb clean for the jets.
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you gave the video a thumbs up to help others and subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸🦅
@@pattayperformance I was not able to easily open up the carburetor like you did. It must have been glued or something. I may have to buy one :(
@@karlaromero4667 use a small flat tip screw driver…just an oring! You got this!
@@pattayperformance it's done!!! It worked!!!!!! THANK yOU SOOO MUcH!! You are awesome!!!!
@@karlaromero4667 YOU ARE AWESOME!
Great job and determination!
Awesome video. Did all that. Have a similar LM but after everything in this video, my LM still slowly dies down to nothing within 30 seconds or so. Any further advice?
Yes, clean the carb again, you must have missed a port.
How did you make out?
Hi there , when cleaning the jets would regular WD-40 work or should I use something else?
Thats fine! doesn't hurt to chase the jets with small wire as well!
I picked up the same model as this one for free I noticed they run incredibly loud
make sure the muffler bolts are tight/gasket is present. Also check RPMS make sure it wasnt tampered with. As I get on in years I wear ear protection when cutting my yard.

I tried this twice and I'm encountering fuel leakage after I put it back together (both times). After the second time removing/cleaning, it ran great for a couple minutes but then I noticed the fuel leak returned. It wasn't leaking fuel prior to me removing the carburetor. Do you have any idea where fuel would most likely leak from?
Fuel Leak can be from...
fuel line
throat of carb (which is a float issue)
carb bowl...o ring messed up and not seated correctly.
pull ait filter housing and leave carb installed...observe where its coming from
Would it matter if the small silver cap is missing that's inside the carburetor?
It’s a Welch plug. You have nothing to lose by installing it with out it. Worst case just buy a new carb for less than $20.
Keep me updated PLEASE
I took my carb apart and did the same exact thing and it still starts on first pull, dies instantly and won’t start again unless I wait a bit between pulls but still dies.
Still have fuel related issues...take apart the carb and clean again...its possible you missed something
Great video! My mower all sudden high throttle will not slow down carburetor is clean, linkages connected properly, any suggestions be great appreciated. How do l know if governor spring are worn out
Jason Myjak, sometimes debris works it way and keep spring open. I assume your clean it all well. Try and adjust the governor where spring mounts to solid bracket. You bend the bracket forward or backward to adj the RPM. If it remains unchanged try resetting the GOV at the motor. Still doesn’t work new spring. If that doesn’t work...you have internal failure
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🇺🇸🤙🏻🦅🔧
@@pattayperformance Thank you so much appreciate it! I did try that trick bending the bracket no luck but waiting for new governor spring anyway since mines loose.
I know there is governor arm coming off motor for governor spring attachment which can be adjusted with 10mm socket either goes up or down
Jason Myjak, well since the spring is on the way...don’t touch the gov till new one comes in. Very rare to see those go! How old is your mower?
@@pattayperformance its a 2017 troy bilt tb110!! Great mower except this issue now. I'm hoping the governor spring fixes my problem! Thank you for helping me out appreciate it...
@@pattayperformance l have replaced the governor spring, cleaned carb again, only way mower slow down if l manually move governor arm coming out of engine, l know there bolt on governor arm but l dont think thats adjustable l could be wrong, loosening nut only moves arm up and down!
Am l missing something here? Even bending metal tab that governor spring attached to no luck?? Any help ideas be appreciated again
I have the same engine with same problem. So far I cleaned the air filter, carburetor (twice), and gas tank. I also replaced the sparkplug and am using fresh fuel but it still starts and dies. To start it I have to prime it every time so I think it's a fuel problem but I'm out of ideas. I'm about to order a new carburetor. Do you any other suggestions before I do that?
Def fuel related…
Clean the carb again and also try to open up the jet the next size up on the carb.
Check out this video I posted! If you decide to order a new carb PLEASE PLEASE open up the jet either way! I do this on every carb I open up or replace it! It’s a great preventative measure!

Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🦅🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸
@@pattayperformance woohoo! The carb was pretty clean after the second time but I opened it up again and did exactly that. I didn't have a bit small enough so I used a pin to work the small jet open a little more. I'm not sure if I made it bigger than original or if fuel had lacquered making it smaller over time but after I was done the hole was visibly bigger. That seemed to do the trick. It's running but too dark to cut the grass now.
Time to celebrate with a cold one though. Tomorrow I'll have to catch up on over a month of not being able to do the lawn.
@@JEZPP FANTASTIC JOB!
If you haven’t changed the oil PLEASE DO! Better pull your blade and give it quick edge before you mow! ROCK STAR!

@@pattayperformance Will do. Thanks for posting this video helping me get my mower fixed. It made my day.
How do I install the pull started pull cord on the on this video troy bilt 21'' 550EX140cc
El Ratatoullie Gutierrez
Sorry for the delay in response our Island was effected by Hurricane Isaias. We are with out cable/internet/WiFi. Cell phone service is drastically effected.
I should have a few videos on the pull cord...
Off the top of my head should be a Troy bilt, husqvarna and or craftsman my stride.
Anyway...remove the 3 5/16 bolts on the engine cover to remove it. Flip it and you will see recoil housing. Turn it till you feel tension and lock it in place with small screw driver. There should be a hole...match the holes up and slide the rope in and tie a knot so it doesn’t come out. When you replace the recoil...do it slowly! Reinstall...
Thanks for view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅🔧
Your carburetor looked clean, so was it a clog in one of the jets??
Correct
I've cleaned the carburator 2 times as shown and it has started after that, but then a week goes by and I have to do it all over. What am I missing?
So you could have a 2 things going on….
Fuel line is breaking down internally and clogging up the carb
And/or
Fuel tank has crap in it and needs to be flushed out
Also try this as well
th-cam.com/video/g_tkkgjtqj0/w-d-xo.html
How are you making out?
I wonder is that plastic air filter holder warped???
Very rare to see that...common on quantum’s
I replaced my carburetor on Briggs and Stratton 550. It runs a few seconds then dies. What could cause that? I've got clean oil and gas and replaced the filter.
My gut feeling its still fuel related. The get on these is very small and sometimes they need to be drilled out very small. Before we do that...
When it runs and dies does it start right back up and does the same?
How about do this...
Clamp the bail cable down like your going to start it so it frees up your hands. Start it quickly while its running, as it starts to die hit it with some go-go juice. if it continues to run you know its still fuel related.
If it dies down...check for spark.
thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel!
@@pattayperformance I believe you're right being fuel related. WHen i go to start again it does not start right back up. I will try that and see what happens. Thanks for the response, and yes i subscribed!!
@@pattayperformance Update: Gave some go go juice and it started running again..... Then it backfired and went down.. but started back up. Changed the spark and running like new.. Thanks you!! for saving my lawn sanity lol!!
Piscean88 OH NO! So sorry it slipped my mind...the INFAMOUS torch plug! If you plan on keeping these machines long term, best to throw the OEM TORCH PLUG and go with NGK / Champion equivalent!
Great job on figuring it out! Happy Mowing!
I wish I had this problem. Mine runs but surges with a brand new plastic carb.
Drill out the main jet just a c*unt hair*
Are you using break cleaner?
Yes but just make sure you don’t get it on the rubber pieces
What spray did you use?
To get it started
Starting fluid
To clean the carb jets
Brake clean
8mm 7mm
Thank you
Its a troy bilt tb 110 and I with the same lawn mower.
Stephanie Stock
Great! Thank for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel!
So I did all the above, but now instead of starting and dying, it doesn’t really start at all. Help? Lol
Do it again...must have missed something and or assembled it wrong. You just caught me at the end of my break. Keep me updated and give me time to respond since I’m at work.
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🦅🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸
@@pattayperformance Thanks for the response! I ended up draining the fuel and that solved it. I'd advise anyone with mower issues to do that first before taking anything apart haha
Can’t see a thing
Haven’t had that complaint on this video before…
None the less try this video

You have bad gas in there.
How so?
