ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 พ.ย. 2019
- Is your carburetor leaking or pouring fuel out of your carburetor on the air filter side or does it flood into your engine oil making the oil smell like gasoline? No matter what side it’s leaking from, it’s the same repair. Watch now to see how to easily stop your snow blower or snow thrower carb from leaking fuel.
This applies to almost all 4 stroke 4 cycle engines, with the float bowl on the bottom, on snow blowers, riding lawn mowers, walk behind lawn mowers, water pumps, generators, general purpose engines, etc.
This video specifically deals with Honda style carbs including Chinese knock offs, Kohler, Powermore or anything that is NOT a Briggs and Stratton or Tecumseh.

Between Steve and Mustie1, I can conquer the world.
Who is this Mustie1 you speak of??
Agreed! They are both great.
@@kemobam mustie 1 on youtube very informative
I had this exact problem with my Honda GSV 160 Lawnmower, worked a treat.
Hey Steve this is gold. You have gone international. Best regards from Norway.
Right on
Steve I'm so glad u mentioned the new carbs being so cheap alot of people dont realise a carb kit can be $18 and a brand new carb can be $20 for example it's not worth the time rebuilding an old one
Thanks Steve. Very well done as always!
Stored a Honda engine once in a lean too hot area . Went too use it and checked the oil first . Pulled the cap and oil with gas came flowing out . Drained the entire tank over time from heat expansion forcing gas thru the needle valve . Yamaha carburetors with removable brass seats for needle float are notorious for the seal under neath leaking by in the casting where they thread in . Corrosion .Bacardi rum and coke is better for me when working on engines in the shop 😂👍 Good instructions steve as usual 👍
Steve, you just saved me a TON of money!!! I don't know a thing about those carbs, since I live in North Carolina I'll probably never own a snowblower...😂 I STILL love your videos my friend 😃 Keep'm comin my brother! 👍👍 Jay.
Old Milwaukee Best for a simple job like this. 🍺
Another great fix it video steve 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hello Steve... Love your channel. I have learned allot watching you. So I have this used Cub Snow Blower I bought 4 years ago... I started having problems with the Carb leaking gas from the Air Cleaner Side... (No Air Cleaner on the Snow Blower). SO I order a Carb from Cub. It was the last one in stock... Changed the Carb and within a few hours started doing the very same thing... So I had the part number and thought it might have been a Customer Return and damaged SEAT... So I ordered one on eBay for half the price and it came in the very same box as the Cub Carb. Same Problem..... So I start calling around picking the brains of the Repair Shops... 2 Carbs... That is unusual... Same Problem... So it has been parked for 4 years.... Pisses me off I cannot fix it... My next go with it was going to replace the Intake Manifold Gasket. Since the Carb puts the fuel onto the intake then it turn 90 degrees UP.... And into the Engine... My theory was it might have been Sucking AIR letting fuel build up and run out.... Never got to it... So watching your video.... With a dirty SEAT.... I remembered something.... BLACK SPECKS... In the GAS..... And WHERE did the black specks come from? I used a TURKEY BASTER to suck out the OLD GAS.... Some got into the BLACK rubber thing and little specks of BLACK Rubber came out into the TANK.... Watching your video It became clear that my action caused this whole problem... I contaminated the TANK.... And I never flushed the tank... And I don't think this motor has a GAS FILTER..... Time to revisit this Snow Blower... With some Ethanol Free GAS.... I will follow up with what I find... It has to be "All About the SEAT..".... In my Navy Days when I was fixing Electronics we had a saying if we went to fix a Ships Radar... Go where Sailors have BEEN... What did you do before it stopped working.... O' we adjusted the Power Supply.... So you start at the power supply... Go where Sailors have been.... :) Thanks :)

PACIFICO is a good beer choice going into a job. If I haven’t been able to solve the problem, I break out the SOL.
I love your videos Steve. However I think I will sit this one out is I'm in Florida!
Great video Steve as usual
Thank You...
Thanks for the video, don’t know if it helps yet. Will have to get out into the garage and try it
Steve,
This video was awesome. Great tips and fun to watch.
Thanks a lot and have a great week👍
Thank You...and You're Welcome...

MTD 208 cc gas only leaks when tilting back help please
I have a Tecumseh but I want your knowledge great content as usual thank you
A little baking soda on the end of the Q tip will polish it right up.
Great video for those who need know how to fix, but never knew.
New Honda carbs, most of the ones I see, are less than $25.90.
You nailed it on this one.
Thank You...
Awesome video you may have saved me a ton of money. I just clicked on the link and the carb I need with the air filter box and filter is less than $25 shipped! Thanks.
PS. Any German beer works for me, Prost!
I love it man you act like my grandma and its great
Another great tip on carburetor fixin. Thanks for the video.
You're Welcome...
I literally just had this problem. I went to fire up the snowblower for the winter season and all the gas I put in the tank was on the floor. Took the carb off and cleaned it, put it back in, and no problems.
I’m just glad I tested it before we actually had a snow storm.
Had my gaskets fall out and thats why mine leaked out back.
Nine Locks Lawn Mower Session IPA does the job. Really!
Thanks a million Steve. This solved my problem with my snow blower.
You're Welcome...
Thanks again for another simple video to resolve a simple issue 😎
Happy to help
Love the Q tip and drill tip!! Thanks, again!😁
You're Welcome...
After fixing carb leaks I change the oil either way. I always enjoy your videos 👍
Right on Buddy...
Guiness Extra Stout. The water of life! Only problem is that there is a pork chop in every bottle. Good video, Steve!
Great videos Steve been watching you for some time now you do a super job of teaching
Wow, thank you
Hey man
You are incredibly thorough! I learned lots
Thanks!
Glad to help!
Carb work no time to be choosy go fridge and get a 🧤 full and get r done great stuff as always 👍👍and bottoms up
Thank you Steve!
You're Welcome...
Great tip with the drill.
Thank You...
oh man, have to say my favorite beer for carburetor work or any engine work, is any container that says b double e r
Good information sir
Thank You...
Thanks, l have a generator with that issue very slow leak ,all I need now is willpower
Hey Steve, I have a husqvarna blower that is doing that. Do you have any videos like that? (This video reminded me about it)
My home-brewed stout is a good choice for carb work.
My choice of beer for a carb rebuild . Barrelhouse Big Sur double IPA.
I just used the q tip trick with lapping compound and it worked
Thank you
Nice work!
Although my go to beer is Bud Light, I believe I would grab a PBR for this job!
excellent video as usual. thank you. my usual friend and family is a 30 of miller lite.
Right on
This just happened on my welder Kohler engine thanks !
You're Welcome...
Hi Steve, love your channel! ♥️ You convey great information in a wonderful way that anybody can understand without talking down to us. Thank you! I have a question, I have a few pieces of lawn gear that’s been sitting up for years, ran the gas out of the chipper and now because of you I want to bring it back to life. I’m replacing the fuel line as it’s petrified. What’s the easiest way to clean out the impurity’s from the gas tank without taking it off the chipper. What can I flush it with and collect in a can through the new gas line that I haven’t cut to length yet. Fuel or something else? I do want to trash the carburetor by not flushing the fuel tank. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
hello Steve’s , i love your channel such a great job you done
is it the same for a YS828 Yamaha carbureteer that leaks through the air filter side .
thanks
Hamms beer works good. You can get a 30 pack for $13.69 in Minnesota. Love your videos.
In-line Fuel Shutoff Valve does help...
Though not ALL feul burns off! Always helps to remove the 1/2" or 10mm bolt to take the Fuel Bowl off to "Completely" drain the Bowl!
Thanks for sharing this video!😎
Take care,

Steve just check the flyers and pick the crappy units out and do videos that way. We all get Lowe’s and Home Depot Canadian tire flyers just pick out the junk some of us unfortunately buy and do a video on repairing them. Love you videos cheers
Excellent video Steve ! Two questions...what is the purpose of that second bowl nut facing out from the bowl ? Would you recommend using a Fuel Filter Funnel for filling small engines, to prevent water and dirt from getting into fuel system ?....Thank you for your time !
I enjoy a good “Nine locks ESB “ when rebuilding a carb.
I learned the q tip and fine abrasive trick from Mustie1. However question for you: any idea how many psi of incoming fuel pressure the needle can handle before the psi overpowers the floats ability to hold the needle closed? I recently put an electric fuel pump of 1.5-2.5 psi on a honda gx620 and wondered this question.
GREAT TIP!
Thank You...
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon Noooo, thank YOU..I wish I could have seen this video, back in 1993 or so....
Keep up the great work!!!
Oh, by the way, Steve. I have a 2007 John Deere X300 I bought new. The starter failed. It seized. I opened it and saw that 2 of the 4 magnets became un- glued and jammed into the stator??? There were bits of broken magnets all over the inside. Did you ever hear of this happening? I know, the tractor is 12 years old, and things are failing here and there. Just wondering if you came across this.
I ordered a new one...
A useful thing to get your hands on is a carburetor jet cleaners. I know honda actually has a set which is part number 07JPZ-0010101 they can pretty much be used on most carburettors, apart from those lovely new Briggs and Stratton plastic carbs.
Cold beer. Cold beer is the kind I prefer. 👍🏼
Right on
Fortunately here in Sunny Sooke it NEVER snows and no need for snow blower (hardly!) CHEERS
Back when I use to be a small engine mechanic, I do remember Honda parts being crazy expensive! The most common problem I use to have with Honda engines were the intake or exhaust valves sticking open
thats why im getting the newer 2019 husqvarna st 400series of a 17hp or 20hp or 21hp wich it can handel kubota engines too because the parts are cheaper
I would say a Turbid Wit from NW Brewery in Yellowknife is in order for this one.
Summer Shandy but Grolsch is good too.
When I work on my carb I drink Genesee Scotch Ale from Rochester NY it's a good one
Hey Steve....don't forget any hollow style float (plastic or brass) can crack or develop leaks at the seams and leak fuel inside....float sinks and no more fuel shut off🤣
Also, always good to turn fuel tap off when transporting, and drain f.tank when storing the machine.....
If it's not shaky shaky, spilly spilly...fuel in oil.....it can be pressure build up in the tank forcing the needle and float down...lots of fuel in oil...lol👍🇦🇺
I have a Taurus generator from aldi and I had this issue and it was caused by the wax in unleaded fuel (long time without starting it ) I was not sure about how to do it so I bought one on ebay a complete carbi was A$19 but now I have a spare after I clean it thanks to you
Right on Buddy...
Go for the power Molson Canadian it will have you feeling great quick.
Thanks for this tip. Slowed the leak down considerably. Still notice a drop or two every once in a while. Needle looked good - float just looks old. Wanted to give you credit for the referral - want to make sure I get the right carb. Is your link for one that fits the HS55 Snow Blower from Honda? Can’t seem to be able to confirm in search. Thanks again - would like to try and support your link.
Thanks
You're Welcome...
Miller Lite will work for every repair.
steve-o. i was starting to have Steve-o withdrawals. thanks for the video
Right on Jimmy...You're Welcome...
I use beer as a fuel stabilizer and it works great
OK Steve, which came first, the toilet or the carb float???
If you have a carb with a brass seat, I have had good success by polishing the seat using a pointed wood or bamboo barbecue skewer and lapping compound or Bar Keepers Friend. Better still, buy G-Tip Gun Cleaning Swabs by Bear Metal. They are made of compacted felt and shaped to fit the brass seat. I spin the "tool" using my dremel tool at low speed. Good vid by Don Spatola titled, "Walbro LMK carburetor leaking, cleaning needle seat" demonstrates his technique. It works.
Nice idea with the toothpaste! Imagine the gel type (AIM) do not work as well as the white type (Colgate, Crest) because it seems they have more silica grit. Either way, your carb will be minty fresh!
Steve, Thanks for the video. I had the engine running and I believe it got into the oil. Do I also need to drain the crankcase and re-fill with new oil? Or is my engine ruined?
I enjoy a Corona Familiar. I wish it was available year round.
A metal polish like Brasso will work on the q-tip too-provided the seat is brass vs plastic of course.
Miller Lite all day! :)
Hi Steve, i have similiar problem on my stihl ms 290, after few tanks of using, my air filter is wet and dust is on filter. Chainsaw is working good, i dont know what is a problem?

Hey Steve I have an unrelated question. I seen a landscaper driving down the road and I noticed he had steel cable with crimped ends on his weed whackers. Is this a good idea? I would like something that lasted longer I have to replace mine almost every time.
Now that the lawn tractor is in the garage for the season, could we get a video on seasonal maintenance?
I put polishing compound or toothpaste on my qtips to mirror polish my seats work every time
Small engines equal big problems. Steve fixes.
Carb work pairs well with good old PBR.
Steve love your video.but had a question water is clear right how come your toliet water is brown,and save a beer for me.
Steve put on some reading glasses bro ,love the channel,love the info just sayin your at that age .
I was stuck in the Honda carb vortex when I had an 18 horse walk-behind Honda mower that was manufactured in the 90's that if I forgot to shut the gas off it would pour all the gas into the crankcase. We could not get that carb to stop leaking and I looked for a couple months for a carb but could not find an exact match or even one that would work. I ended up changing the engine out for a 22 horse Briggs that works perfectly but what a shame to have to junk out a Honda engine because of the carb.
I’m thinking that is the problem of mine because when I put fuel in it and start it up the oil comes out quick from the carburetor. I thought it might of been the needle and seat but I’m not sure. The only reason that I might have some input on this is from watching your videos. I have to try to fix this the cheapest way possible or my wife will kick my a** lol. I am not mechanically inclined at all but I am willing to try to give this a shot. I was thinking to maybe take pictures of every step I do and maybe it will help me. The snowblower is maybe a year old if that and it’s having this kind of problem.
I think a Kona "Big Wave" or a Civil Life brown ale is in order for a carb job.
I have gas also coming out of the primer. Is that the same issue?
Pabst Blue Ribbon solves ALL engine problems
I do the same thing if it needs it or not
If you use valve grinding compound make sure you clean that carb really well, or you will destroy your engine, that grit will prematurely wear the piston rings out.
Do you have a video on how to adjust one of these? I have one that keeps surging and behaving very odd.
Yes. I have a video on my channel called surging engine....
I had the same problem, but in my case the float sticks to the bottom of the bowl.
Double upload? Double Yuengling!
I only like three beers......can, bottle, or draft. I'm picky that way!
Looks like a job for a low CARB beer Steve. 4:35 tell me you don't see Colonel klink!
Would you recommend changing the oil even if you don’t smell gas in the oil?
QUESTION: Is there a trick to getting hoses off of carbs? The best way I've found is to get a flat-head screw driver behind the rubber and push away from the carb. This causes the hose to bunch up and loosen a bit. But I'm dealing with a hose right now that I can't really get behind (fits very flush to carburetor.) I don't want to damage the hose. Is there a trick to getting these hoses off the carbs? *_Thanks in advance for any and all advice!_*
