I probably watched 20 or 30 TH-cam Videos on how to clean this briggs plastic carburetor. And there is no question that this video was the absolute best. Why? Because he addressed every single point including The need to Make sure certain parts are not exposed to carburetor cleaner because The carburetor cleaner will permanently damage those parts.
This is the very best video I've seen on this type of carb. You've also helped me diagnose exactly what the problem is with mine, and so I thank you VERY MUCH.
Thank you for a really clear video.
I had seen a few more but yours is absolutely spot on and also remains the original setup of the part instead of drilling any jets
You are the only one out of many many videos I have watched with the Briggs plastic carb that said there is a round center piece that goes in the carb and connects to the cartridge. Mine fell out and I could not figure out where and how it went so thank you and yes, after pulling the carb out four times the one with your advice fixed my problem. Started up on the first pull!
This really did the trick. I'd looked at the plug and tried easy start spray which got the 450e going eventually but this process on the carb has worked wonders. Took me a whole evening as I want confident at first. Very satisfying. I did a lap of honour round the garden.
Thank you very much for showing more detail procedure on cleaning the Briggs & Stratton plastic carburetor. This video is the best one thus far from everyone that I have seen on you tube explaining and showing in detail on how and why it's important that you do it. I'm looking forward tomorrow on working on my Briggs & Stratton plastic carburetor and follow your instructions and example. Thank you again.
Thanks for the video. My motor had revs surging up and down. Followed your video while I fixed it and it now runs like new.
First time doing anything other than a tune up on a small engine and I've just replaced a leaky carb (I now know I could've probably fixed myself but I digress) and got my old B&S running like the day she was purchased and it was all with YOUR help my friend!
Excellent Comrade! top work
I drill out the bottom main jet with a # 72 drill bit .025 works great , starts first pull ,,,,even the ones without the auto choke . Been working on mowers for over 50 years ,,,I'm a 74 year old machinist and I'm like you " Old School " !
I’ve been doing the same thing nearly on every one that I work on
Jets are way too small to meat epa crap and watered down gas
thanks bro . clean and clear and my son has his 1st lawn 70nz every 2 weeks. rideon for an hr and clean up with the 300
Thanks for this video. I watched a lot of them, this is the best by far. It's bookmarked for next time. Some of the parts did not come apart and go back together as easily as in the video . Of course, it could be that I am a 66 yr old grandma with arthritis in my hands, LOL. Other than that, it was easy to follow. One of the sides of the "Tetris" piece was completely blocked. Cleaned the carb, changed the oil, got a new spark plug, got new gas, wiped it down and it started with one pull. Looks good and runs like new! Best part was it only cost about $9 for the carb cleaner and spark plug (had the oil).
Thank you so much. Got mine going first pull after watching you video. This mower hasn't been starting in 3 years!!!!🎉
Brilliant!
Totally agree with you Paul. Done quite a few of these puppies, now. Never had an issue cleaning or with reassembly. Easy to get to, and get back on. Quick turn around job. Biggest pain are the spark plugs!
Fantastic!
Kind Sir… May God Bless you many times. I struggled with this same carburetor for a day. Watched your video, took it apart as you instructed. The lawn mower started up immediately. Thank you from Chicago!
Amazing thanks for messaging me!
... Hiya, Paul!! Just like to thank you, ( & David, of course!! ), for saving my sanity!!! Going nuts during the Virus Lockdown, came across one of your videos, spotted a neighbour binning a McAllister MPRM46HP, with a Briggs & Stratton 450 engine, and thought, that's something to keep me occupied!! Not worked on mowers before, but, your videos make it look do-able!! I am stripping & re-furbishing it, slowly, got a diaphram & gasket for the gas tank/carb on its way, and, am really enjoying 'fiddling' with it!! Dunno if it will ever work again, but, as I say, its just about keeping me sane!!! Thanks, you two, once again!!!
Fred Cooper Thats great to hear Fred! let me know if you can't get it working and ill help you out! Thanks for the message
This is the most comprehensive video I have seen on this carburetor. I was able to revive an old MTD pos that I sometimes use where my tractor can't fit.
Didn't start after 2 years sitting idle, but now runs like a champ. Almost threw it away rather than buy a new carb. Only spent $3 on a can of carb cleaner and about an hour time. Thanks
Thanks congrats
Hi Paul.. another great video.. I'm just replacing a bent crankshaft on a B&S 675 EXi and decided to clean up the carb while I'm at it.. I'm new to this type of work/hobby so I needed some guidance on the carb setup..Like you, I think these are less complicated than the traditional carbs. Keep up the good work and congratulations again on a super video. Regards Martin
I like your work.Ive seen plenty of seveces on this carby and you show in detail thank you.Mine is chugging so I will try your way.Cheers.
This is they best explanation of the carburetor I've seen I've watched 20 videos non explained the white ring and black gasket ring on the back or the bkank white breather pin and the float I cleaned mine and didn't realize I lost the black ring and couldn't find anyone that said there was one also it was leaking just like you said because my float needle fell off inside. Great job on this it helped alot
Thank you. Very helpful. Especially liked your recommendation not to use wire to clean and to use a plier to pull apart the "testris " parts. Great job.
Cheers!
Proud to say I've been through a thorough training course of cheap plastic carb TH-cam videos and can now easily take apart, fix and reassemble these things. I'm officially self-certifying as a trained plastic carb repair tech. 🤣😎😁
Thanks for the in-depth video, I didn’t realise that the main jet can be separated to clean the emulsion tube!!
That's one of the best detailed videos I have seen, .the other videos are a bit confusing. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Thank you
This was a wonderful, detailed overview how to clean the carburetor. Lovely. I learned immensley.
Thanks Osmand i appreciate that
@@MowerMan hey man I need help I got a new style Briggs and Stratton mower I couldn't get it to start or get.fuel to the plug so I bought a new carburetor same thing still won't run help
Best video I’ve seen on fixing this POS carb. Thanks!
Lol
It certainly is a POS. I'm on my third on a five year old mower because disassembly and cleaning never helped.
Thanks,
Great videos. Easily serviced and fitted new carb to a 300 series B&S;while keeping the old one to swap out next time.
Very informative. I've got a LIDL/Florabest mower with the B&S 450 engine with plastic carb. Looks far easier than i had contemplated as mine struggles to keep running at startup and when it is going it struggles to maintain rpm. If all else fails, it seems i can get a replacement carb from my favourite auction site for £12.50
Thanks for the tip on NOT spraying the gaskets with carb cleaner!
Thanks for the video, fixed and now running smooth
Great stuff Ray!
you are the first guy i have seen, that did that procedure correctly
Got my fist one of these in .. it was hunting ... I followed your cleaning guide. Put it back to gether still hunting.... looked at Steve's small engine saloon .. he recommended to see if a bread twisty tie would fit though the main jet . And it wouldn't after a jiggle it did it was like a bit of grit was stuck fast now it's running spot on.... I'm going to keep this mower for my self ... I think the big problem is there's no fuel filter.... so I'm going to fit an inline fuel filter... hopefully should keep it cleaner. ... good vid tho... I think one of these carbs could work on a sv150 👍🏻👍🏻
Really nice tutorial. You explained the procedure and parts very well. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I watched several videos before this one. By far the best!!
he is right. DON'T GET CARB CLEANER ON O-RINGS!!!
Yeah carburettor cleaner does them in
Awesome Job. I've worked and replaced and cleaned A lot of those years back myself. Back when my grandpa was still Alive he had his own lawnmower and small engine repair shops to. I worked at them with him& stepdad when was Alive to years ago. And by myself to. I learned from him watching and helping him work on them.,an took small engines in school and vocational school to for that skill trade to. I was in the 7th grade when I took it down in lake Wales, Florida out Haines city Florida in polk county, Florida. 27 years ago now from going to that school and 28 years altogether. I'm in my 40's now and just pittle around on them now is all anymore. Even though I know how to fix and repair them to. Keep up the 👍 good work over there for sure. 👍 👍 Two thumbs up.
Cheers John!
I have a Troy Built power push mower with Briggs and Stratton engine with similar plastic carburetor but without the primer button. It never would start up right away even with electric (battery) start and I would run down the battery. After watching your video and several others, I felt confident enough to tear in down and clean it and now it starts right off. While I was at it, I cleaned out the fuel tank and plumbed in a fuel filter. I use Trufuel in my mowers and yard equipment. It's near impossible to purchase non-alcohol pump fuel as I live in Illinois which is in the corn belt. 10 percent alcohol is mandated. The jet in the plastic "tower" is only 0,020 inch which is very tiny and can easily be blocked by fines in the pump gas.
Super helpful, thank you! Engine now working beautifully!
Excellent! Good to hear
Your vid was the best I watched.....and I watched em all.....thanks for doing it right!
Thanks Jim
Many thanks MM for this video - it guided me through the entire process of removing, cleaning and repairing my own lawn mower. Just in case these comments are of use to anyone else, especially those who like myself had never taken a carb apart before, follow the above and you won't go wrong. In practise I was a little nervous about messing up my engine which was poor to start and ran very badly - very bad surging. Having opened the carb I cleaned as best I could. I put it all back but nothing had changed. Although dissappointed I had found that since it was so easy to do, I took it all apart again. This time, with a lot more confidence that I could do it properly, I checked all the holes and, especially the 'golden eyes'. Although I had used carb spray on tem before, I decided to use a very thin wire down them and I then found that there was something stuck in one of them. Although I couldn't see what was blocking the hole I felt resistance and then release as the wire went down. With that done I again cleaned and dried all the 'tetris' parts, checking the holes as I went. I put it all back and BINGO - first pull of the chord and the engine fired up - waited a few minutes and it was running as smoothly as new. SO - do have go, follow MM's instructions and, trust me, the pleasure at fixing your own machine is worth far more than the £15 a new carb costs! Again thanks MM!
Great stuff! Glad you got it sorted!
@@MowerMan Sorted thanks to you Paul! Can I ask a question? There is only one variable control mechanism in these carbs, ie the auto choke. So does that mean that the speed of the engine has a fixed value which is determined by the holes in the 'tetris' part? (Or have I missed something?)
@@SolveEtCoagula93 Stretch the spring behind the fuel tank!
@@MowerMan Ah, thank you.
What kind of wire did you use, I think there is a blockage in that piece he called the Golden eye. Thanks
Thank you 🙏 really helped me with my carb.
Thank u this video made cleaning my carb simple! I’ve a Briggs and Stratton 450e and it’s hard to start, it starts but dosnt fire into life, just slowly starts up. New plug fitted, good spark and carb clean. Could it be the ohv’s needs adjusted? If so do you have a video showing this? Thanks in advance and keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Well done from America 🇺🇸
Great video, fixed my problem, thank you!
Really thorough and well made piece. Keep it up.
Much appreciated!
ive watch maany vidaos yours explains the best way!
Very good job on plastic carburetor. I like you to make a video on how to adjust a governor on those engines so I could learn how to adjust It. Frank
Bend the spring behind the petrol tank. Lift the tank off to to get to it
Nice work
Good lesson you learned me a lot thanks
Great video you took everything apart ! Good job Mate .
Cheers!
Forgot to say thanks, very good job Frank
Great video. Helped me out so much.
It would be a good idea to mention that the primer bulb is a vented bulb and is meant to have a hole in the centre
Yeah another great vid, Paul and nice to hear a fellow Yorkie. I’ve got a 2019 Hayter 56 Pro with the 850 and it’s hunted slightly out the box and ever since. Finally got round to cleaning this and job sorted. Do you not have a Ultrasonic cleaner given the amount of mowers you clean up? Greetings from 🇨🇭
Excellent. Thank You!
Thanks for the video. Im from the USA, Illinois.
Thanks for watching!
Hey thanks for the video got my mower running again but another issue has developed, when started it stays started but the revs surge up and down any ideas what I might have done? Thanks
Brilliant video thank you 👍👍
Have the same usa version of this mower that is surging with a new ebay carb and fresh clean fuel system. Im going to check the very front oring that mounts to the engine other than that not sure? I'll check the primer bulb.
Very helpful thank you!
great video...thank you so much!!
best video on these carbs
Thanks Andy!
@@MowerMan the only vid that shows how the o ring goes on✌👌✌👌
Thank you very much for this. I tried to do everything but still have the same problem. The lawn mower starts, turns over for a few seconds and then stalls. Any advice as to what I might have overlooked please?
Hi MM, having viewed your video on the Mountfield plastic carburettor, I have just repaired a Mountfield SP185 fitted with a similar carb that refused to start. It would start with a squirt of Bradex Easy Start in the air filter but then immediately stalled.
Following your video, I dismantled the carb and removed the plastic cartridge comprising the thee jets. Having given them a good blow through and proved them clear with carb cleaner the machine started and ran. However it ‘hunts’ or ‘surges all the time. Do you have any suggestions as to what might be causing this as the carb itself is spotlessly clean.
Also can you tell me what the two white plastic plugs are for in the carb. One is a flat topped plug and the other (the one that came off in your video) seems to have a spigot on it which looks like it might fit into a pipe of some sort although it does not have a hole in it?
Hi very interesting video lots of good information and advice.
Glad you enjoyed it
What is the metal ball in the tetris part used for ? I took it out and replaced it with other things that would fit in it. It changes speed and then sometimes it doesn't start , depending on what fits in it. Is gas meant to go through and around the metal ball or is it sealed shut?
Well done
Great videos and channel! Have you done a video on how to safely remove and sharpen a blade? Thank you
I have one on my channel mate
Hi quick question though are you sure any carb cleaning spray can be used for cleaning of plastic carburetor? I am struggling to find an appropriate cleaner for this model though..
Thanks in advance.
Great video, good explanation and easy to follow process. I have mower with a 450e series engine and it started surging, I cleaned the carburetor and though it is better now it still surges. The only other thing I've been able to find is to drill the main engine a bit larger. Is this something you think would be ok/safe to do? Seems like the last thing I can do.
Yes make it a bit larger
Do you have any idea the size of those o-rings I use ( you pulled off the jet)something that totally destroyed them???
I notice that under the float bowl there is a plastic Allen screw part. Can this be screwed out to drain the bowl for long term storage, and is there a special Allen wrench to be able to fit between the metal deck and the bottom of the bowl to screw this out to drain the gas. I don't want to have to remove the whole Carb. just to drain the gas out of the bowl.
Do they sell the needle on it's own? If so, know the part number or link? Thanks. Think rubber tip may be worn and not sealing properly.
I’ve noticed my B&S500e has started to hunt, would doing this help solve that problem?
hi can you tel me if the primer bulb should suck or blow thank you
Hey Paul. Looks like the white plastic piece may be an atmospheriic primer vent. If carb is plugged when using primer bulb it vents through that. Why some carbs and primer systems need a vent drilled and some don't I could not find. Thanks for the quality plastic carb vid.
Thanks for the info! thats what I read but if I'm honest I couldnt remember how to explain it properly!
I wonder if it depends on the type of choke mechanism or primer combination
@@MowerMan That would be my assumption. Almost no info out there. Thanks again Paul.
Following your guidance solved my problem. Thank you. When removing the "tower" I placed a flat head screwdriver in through the hole and pressed down squarely on it. That led it to pop down easily. It felt safer than using the pliers. Is that a bad thing to do? I note that mower has a wash port. I was thinking of adding one to my Viking as a retro fit. Apart from obviously making sure there is sufficient blade clearance is there anything else I should fear? Many thanks again.
Will be fine
Hi all. My carb is the choke type. After cleaning like Paul, it starts for a bit, chugging along and dies with choke open, unless I put shop air into carb choke, means it's getting to much fuel right? How? Any ideas guys?
Would it matter if the small silver cap is missing that's inside the carburetor?
Viewed this detailed video several times - as I dismantled and cleaned one of these newer style carburetors - and - hey presto - my B & S 450 E is working again - thanks very, very much, Mr Mower Man. I do think some of the commentators from the USA have a point (on the issue of the build quality of newer B & S engines) - whatever about the advantages of the newer style carburetor - my "Pro-Lawn" mower - with its B & S 450 E engine - is not as sturdy as the previous B & S mower I had (and which lasted me 27 years). Has Mower Man encountered any cases of the air filter cover coming detached because of the user cutting too near briars that are intruding on a lawn ? I appreciate the solution is to always cut back the briars first but many people are under pressure to get the lawn cut fast before it rains again (or something else needs to be seen to garden wise) - an older style B & S could be pressed into action in less than optimal terrain - and basically emerge unscathed in my experience.
Hi thanks I don't actually do that much cutting but I can see the air filter box being a problem
Btw, can someone explain in detail the purpose of each orifice while showing fuel flow and pressures on this carb for choke type?
I put 2 new carbs on it and she is still spooling
Hi there great to watch your very informative videos I am presently doing up several,Mountfields I am having difficulty finding replacement Mountfield stickers could you help me get them. Keep up the good work !!
Check out retro restore channel. Martin prints his own on a recent video and shows you how it's done. Tell him mowerman sent you
Hi Mike, I got mine off eBay. They are not to scale unfortunately and fitting is difficult if the Mountfield deck has the ribbed front but they are better than nothing.
Type into eBay search bar: 153907340075 (Message seller if out of stock, he usually relists them)
OR 153792838420 (Pricey)
After cleaning the carb, cut the rubber fuel line (from the gas tank to the carb) in the middle and insert Briggs and Stratton Fuel Filter # 298090S. This should prevent any future fuel clogging issues. Replace the filter every 5 yrs or so. :)
Thanks Billie
Bit of a tip.......... The float pivot wears on these carbs, i have seen lots of these plastic carbs with worn pivots that apear fine (they even seal if you turn it over and blow down the fuel pipe) but if you remove the float cover and turn the carb over and find the float in the closed position is not parallel with the carb body at the min!! I wouldn't even bother trying to service it. I have seen it so often now i can tell you if the carb is good or not just by smelling the engine oil, if it smells like fuel i would put money on you need to replace the carb.
Hi Paul, I've seen somone pop out the ball bearing on the top of these to clean out the jets there, have you done this?
No Philip
A new carburetor put it on and it fluctuates up and down when it's running what could be the problem
Hi I'm having trouble replacing my guvenor springs on a mower one snapped and I can't figure out how it went?
th-cam.com/video/_0ks74iKMdY/w-d-xo.html
Hi, I’ve got a Mcculloch mower and it keeps fading between revs and cutting out any idea what might be the issue?
Main jet is blocked
I did it! Following your video, I removed carburetor. I opened it up. Pulled out that set of jets. Everything looked fine, but I used carb cleaner to spray-clean all the orifices multiple times. Put it back together. Reinstalled carburetor. Pumped the primer bulb a few times and yanked the starting cord. After a few tries, it started! Ran for about 30 seconds, and then died. I just don't get it. It started, its running for a while, and then it just dies.
have the same problem. 2 years ago i rebuilt this carb and all good. i replaced the fuel cap for shut down it did not help.
Nice video, but I tried cleaning my carb three times, stripping it down and cleaning with carb cleaner and still the mower won't start - it tries too but fails.
If the hole behind the bubble is dirty or clogged, what can you use to clean that out?
I also wanted to say thank you for this video. Very informative and thorough. Hope to hear back soon about my question.
I would put a old good motor on it an tose that thing in the scrap barl
At 6:58 he say dont worry about that lil plug that loos like a barb...well of that hole isnt capped the primer bulb wont prime!!! Pretty darn important!!
Can you sub carb cleaner for brake cleaner with any of this?
Probably just don't get it on rubber gaskets or seals
Hi my machine loses strength when it cuts grass. It reacts like if it was going to stall. When it’s by itself on it runs well. I cleaned the carb as you instructed and changed blade and the filter. Problem still persists
Any ideas?
Could be the dead man's break rubbing on the flywheel
Drill out jet with .022 or .025 drill bit
Runs better and has more power
Do you have a video for the 625e carb?
No sorry
If your nice clean carb floods, chances are that the threads on the bolt that you used to seal the fuel pipe have pulled off a rubber crumb or two that’s now stopping the needle sealing. Using a threaded part to seal the pipe is what is known as a “ hanging offence” !
I own a B & S 500 E Engine on a Masport Chassis and have never had any trouble with the Plastic Carburettors, however as the non Genuine versions are freely sold on Ebay..and assuming the Carburettor is the problem..simply replace rather than try repairing it..the Carby I bought cost only $25.00..simply get another one...
Good job on the Cleaning part. However enlarging the hole WILL stop the mower from surging. Use a micro drill to slightly enlarge the jets. I use non-ethanol gas and fuel enzyme. It will not clog with that. When you've cleaned it and still get surge, it's not getting enuff gas. Prove me wrong. Watch the video on how to enlarge the jets.
What Bout it don't start and keep up after cleaning the carburetor
