- THE QUICKEST/EASIEST WAY! This is usually the leading cause of small engine problems. If it's really dirty, you should remove the whole thing from the motor and clean it.

Todd, I watch this video twice and for the first time in my old age (65) I went out to the shed and got the tiller to work!! Thank you so much for your help.
Thanks Todd, still a useful video 11 years after you made it!! I'm going to clean mine this afternoon :)
Still helping folks all these years later :))) thank you!!
Best video on youtube for getting a motor back up and running. I just had to clean the bowl, float and posts. Then just blew out the jet and it fired right up.
Not fancy, doesn't need fancy! Clear, to the point & can understand him and what he is teaching. Thank you sir, you told me exactly what I needed. Cheers
Even 6 years later, this is extremely helpful! Thanks man this is great.
Great video! You just saved me quite a few bucks as I neglected to properly care for my pressure washer after last summer. Your step-by-step directions and helpful suggestions made my first (ever) attempt at cleaning a carburetor a successful one!
Thanks!
A great explanation and clear demonstration of how to clean a carburetor. Thank you!
I have a chainsaw that started and stopped I’m going to do the same hopefully it will work
Thanks man,You Rock! Not only did you show what to do but you explained how a carb works and WHY you're doing what you're doing and made it very simple. God Bless
Best small engine cleaning carburetor video I've seen yet!
Just picked up a mower on the side of the road, used your video and now I'm gonna MAKE some green.
thnxx for making/posting this video, easy to follow step by step!!
Great Job Sir!!! I know the carburetor on my walk-behind is messed-up and you gave me some great insights as to how to get the job done. Thank you!
Great Video... although I've got a small generator with what I suspect is a dirty carb, your explanation of the carb workings and cleaning procedure was very helpful. Looking forward to giving this a try later today.
Great job. Really helpful and easy to follow. Thanks!!!
Great job sir ! Very good description and detail of the lawn mower carb problems and fixing them. Thanks for the help.
This is what got my duromax xp4400eh running again. It started and ran great on LP, but wouldn't even turn over with gas. Didn't even need to take the carb off, and didn't have to mess with the diaphrams. Thanks!
thank you for making this video...it really helps a lot to people like me that dont know much about carbs,but now I have a better idea of what to do
good vid, straight forward, clear, and to the point.
Awesome job, and great job explaining it!
I need to clean my little rototiller's carb.
great video. clear, good angles on the pix, and short.
Right on man ....... Favourited this video .
Thankyou for making it so simple .
Very helpful! I'm tired of paying the repair shop to clean all my small engines so I'm learning to do it myself. YEA!
Worked...you saved me some green. Thanks man.
Nice, quick and easy to follow steps - Thank you.
Just watched this video and got my log splitter working. Thx!
An Excellent tutorial and thanks from Great Britain and especially for not playing some awful music throughout the video.+++++
i'm 12 and my lawn mower does not work so i followed these steps and it works thanks a lot.
This is a good video because even if you change the inline filter every year and drain the gas there's almost always water in the bowl. I never thought about oil on the bowl gasket, good tip.
Thank you .
You saved me a lot of money and I learned something too.
Very clear explanations. Thank you.
Great Video Todd. Thanks for sharing.
your video was helpful in making an intimidating task somewhat simpler.
Great basic instructions ! Thanks.
very well explained. I appreciated this
Thanks a lot for putting this out here!
@buildingfern no, I locked an extra transaxle that I had. I've been toying with the idea of swapping it out to the locked trans... It would make it easier to mow certain areas of my property.
Still watching these videos I miss the mud runs Todd, Mower mudder from Canadia :)
nice vid man! I should get my mower tractor going soon too! keep the vids coming !
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you excellent video
Thanks for the detailed video.
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Great tutorial and video
Very good instructions and easy!
Great tip with the gas line on the air nozzle..thanks!
Thanks dude this helped me A lot with my go kart!😜
Fantastic video, I had to clean out the screw at the bottom of silt bowl, it got clogged at the horizontal hole and the vertical hole.
I do that every time I have one apart, I usually check that first, it works even better if you have a fuel shut off.
It's easy to do by yourself
great video, i will put it in my best video collection
@MrChevynova01 yea, clean the carb. what you unbolt the thing on the bottom with the spring, unbolt the brass part, don;t unscrew the screw and the setting will remain the same.
Excellent video
Awsome how to! Cheers!
@k6user thanks! I have to clean a carb every other week it seems like.. then again I have 7 small engines to maintain. they just get gunk in them
This will be helpful ! Just yesterday I got a murry mower just like yours ! However I put a different engine on it I put a 16 hp Briggs on it I never had any problem out of the engine before but when I got it out we was doing wheelies and flipped it backwards and gas poured out of the carb I think that may have messed it up cause today we have had tons of trouble getting the carb back working right and it's leaking a ton .. I will try this
great job on the video dude!!
Thank you, I'm going to see if this is the ticket to fixing this BLASTED thing!!!!
Yo great video! I leaned a lot!
@TheAdventurestories Glad I could help!
thx for the feedback!
Great video!! Thank you Sir!!
Good video! If your small engine doesn't work this is usually the problem.
On many engines there is a little tiny rubber doughnut shaped seat that the float needle seats into. If you blow air into the fuel line connection it will fly out and you will never see it again.
Also motor oil will degrade rubber parts. If you don't want the rubber to fall apart the next time you repair it you better use silicone grease on rubber.
@tottos90 its an mtd choke cable. pretty easy to add
@brodie1709 I'd bet it is, it seems as though most problems stem from the carb.
@DosAmigosDnZ is the starter tring to start? or nothing at all? Maybe check the compression if you can, at least you'll know if it CAN run.
Very helpful video 🙂
Great video noticed the container used to drain the old fuel so for anyone do be sure your container is glass,, metal or a fuel rated plastic ( gas can ) the one in this video looks to possibly be a grocery store juice container or similar most of these the gas will eat through so be aware and safe, peace
I have yet to find any plastic containers that leak gasoline. Are you sure you didn't mean a grocery sack or ziplock bag??
metamech
No, I mean exactly what I said, Anyone interested or concerned lease simply search "gasoline melts plastic" and take your pick of the articles.
Great job ! Thanks for sharing !
I found this out too. I used a plastic container used for shaving soap. The gas or carb cleaner ended up eating away at the bottom.
Great video, Really helped!!!!!
Thank you Todd!
Very well done. Nice commentary and step by step. I have a Briggs motor that sat for a year plus. I have replaced the fuel filter, air filter, fuel line, battery, and oil. I also used Mechanic in a Bottle to clean the fuel system. Had issues with surging and then once I got the throttle set that went away. Now, it's always flooded and when it's turned off the engine wants to keep running! Any ideas?
@FearlessRomp not sure on that one, I don't usually mess with snowmobiles
easy to understand, thanks
@arild365 I'm trying to keep them coming weekly, it's tough with all the other sh!t I have to do.
Thanks!
Great vid! i love yours videos lol when will u upload your next one? :D
@Tristan102100 I bet its either the key switch itself is dead, (happens a lot try spraying some wd-40 into it, sometimes it helps...) or make sure the mower deck engagement lever/switch if off, and the clutch switch. there is also a seat switch too. check or disconnect those first. Maybe re-wire the whole thing..(not that hard I have a "how to" video on it.)
Also make sure you didnt disconnect or break any wires while doing the oil change.
This is assuming it does nothing when u turn the key.
@rex4x4 Thanks, If it's really bad, you'd have to pull the carb off, which is a lil more complicated.
Thanks! Riding lawn mower been sitting for over a year.. had it running in 15 minutes..
@TheRUSSELLBOY Ive done it before, it add more weight but it'll work. You might have to cut the hole bigger.
@jasonmushersee Haha, yeah I didn't do either... I donno why, I'm usually pretty good about doing that. It actually wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be.
Thanks!
awesome video helpful alot
@DosAmigosDnZ same as the red one? I donno about the speed, it's all stock.. probably 8mph
@TheRUSSELLBOY you mean not turning over at all? or not firing up?
@Tristan102100 I wish I was there to mess with it... does it have spark? try to squirt a lil fuel down the carb and see if it runs.. if it does, its a fuel problem, if not, check the spark.
Safety switches.... one of them might be broken, or disconnected... also could be the keyswitch not working.
Try jumpng it right to the starter with the key on to see if it'll run
We'll done, thank you!
@MrSub24 yeah, I have an offroad mower that has a modded engine. its a 28 cu. in. briggs flatty.
@tottos90 no, it hooks up separately. I'll have to make a video of it sometime
thanks, great vid
Well that's your opinion. If anything could be a little faster for me ;) He has hands down the BEST videos with little to ZERO dislikes. Must be doin something right.....
Okay!
How... did you take the float, off, so easy!?? Mine, won't come off, by hand, off of that little peg, it hangs on!
I sure could use your help, before I break something!
Thanks.
@Fearlessfront i already figured it out...the cylinders were floded. took out the spark plug and it cranked just fine. i made a stupid move leaving the fuel hooked up when i knew the carboretor wasn't that clean... but thanks for the advice anyway! i am shure i will remember it when something else goes wrong!
this should help me a lot thx
@Fearlessfront that would blow ..... thanks for the video .
@Fearlessfront yeah i figured it out...the spark was too weak. another questin? i recently got a lawnmower that sat in the peoples back yard for five years. after a few days of tinkering with it i got it to fire and run. the problem is,i changed the oil and now it won't even turn over. i checked all the swiches and everything works. i had the battery on the trickle charger overnight, so thats not it. i know i am asking a lot,but i would apreciate the advice.
@DJRockinRob No problem! I love helping people!
@c1rca121 Soon, I've been trying to keep it on a weekly schedule. The next one is of me rewiring the craftsman with a push button ignition.
Hey i was riding my mower and it staled on me and i look under the hood and i did not see any thing thing i closed it and tried to start it but it would not and i looked again and i saw that it was leaking gas from the carberateur so i drainded the gas and let it cool off the motor over night but on saturday im going to see if i need a new one or just see if the pin got stuck or if its broken.
Thanks for making this video i hope it will help me.
@dangeroustoys56 yeah, his mower gets neglected pretty bad. oh well, it still runs like a top. I think all mowers should come with a fuel shut off.
i applaud you im way to ocd to clean a carb out side and still on the engine
hey what do you think it means if my riding mower will only work with the choke fully pulled.? and it will run for about 5 to 10 minutes and then just shut down
@bubbawinchester it's the next video to put up, I just need to finish editing it.
