Funny how an 8 year old video can solve your whole day. I was mowing and my mower starts surging while running. It sounded very exhaust related, so that's what I started looking in to. Then I came across this video and it solved the entire problem. Thank you very much!
I've been searching for this explanation for a couple of hours. My friend gave me a husqvarna mower with the exact same engine and he took it apart and then got frustrated with it. All the parts were there but hooked up wrong. One step closer to getting this thing running. Thank you!
Fantastic video, fixed that "mystery" spring right away!!!
Been trying to figure out what kind of springs mine has been missing for a while on this type of carb and finally I found something that helps. Had someone give me their basically brand new gold series because it wouldn't run. So I took it because its an awesome mower (free!!!) Plus I love to take broken things apart and try and fix them. First thing I noticed after taking the air filter off was the missing springs. I rigged the throttle with the carb spring and its been running alright but definitely not the way it's supposed to. Thanks for actually showing them!
I thank you so much for showing how the black air vain is attached to the muffler thermostat. I don't have this specific lawnmower but mine is similar in design. I needed to know how the thermostat hooks up to the black air vain. I took my lawnmower apart to clean it, ( very dirty) and didn't know how the thermostat was attached. Thank you again for a great video. God bless u.
Took my top cover off to clean out the dirt and grass from around the linkage, and discovered my spring was gone also. Googled my engine model, and your video showed up! Right place at the right time. Thanks so much for doing this video!
Thanks! Between You and Bruce Pender, I figured out what that mystery spring was for that appeared in my Craftsman mowers “trough” around the engine and now know how to re-attach it, secure it with a small zip tie, and hopefully get my mower running again....TH-cam ROCKS!!!!!
Wow! You are super helpful, thanks very much. I had the same issue - would only start with starting fluid and now I see the spring is missing. You're awesome!
Thanks just ordered mine. I originally ripped mine out. CHANGE YOUR AIR FILTER! That was the cause of all my problems lol
you video is a life saver. I noticed my auto choke was not attached either and i've been trying to figure out how to get this mower running for days. ive replaced the carburetor and spark plug and drained the fuel tank and it still wouldn't run. I didn't even know what a choke was lol. this is my first mower as i'm a new how owner. i've cut grass many times before but all the mowers i used had the primer button. other than that they always ran.
Thanks for the video. I got lucky and found my missing spring sitting on top of the mower deck in a pile of trimmings. I also appreciated seeing the auto choke part as I wasn't sure I had it put back together right.
Thank you. Excellent video, very clear. Knocked this spring off cleaning and had no clue where to reattach.
Thanks for posting the video. Because of it, I was able to get my trusty old Craftsman back in service! Blessings!
Excellent tutorial, just what I needed. Short and concise. I will be able to fix my autochoke on my McCulloch. Turns out the mower has been running without air vane spring for 2 or 3 years now. Only problem is the hectic throttle and perhaps some lack of power...Thanks for the additional tips, very useful as well!
Thanks a lot from the Netherlands.
Great video, clear instruction. You're video solved my problems, but in an other way.
Today i fixed the choke with a tie wrap, so it's not automatic anymore, stands open all the time.
The thermostat regular is broken ànd my spring was gone.
I did not want to wait to order spare parts and than fix the machine because my wife said she would like to mow the lawn...
Grab your chance when you can!
Lawn mower is about 8 years old.
To start the engine without automatic choke from now on, i put a piece of old cloth just for a second against the air intake side from the air filter.
Take it away when the engine is running, in one stroke on the starter rope
It's the same effect as a choke, rich fuel mix with strong reduced air.
Works great, no expenses made, a typical "dutch treat" ;0)
Good enougd to do the job in the last few years of this lawnmowers life.
Your video has given me the knowledge to fix this.
Thank you so much. I had just replaced my recoil starter and could not figure out why my mower wouldn't stay running. From watching the part of your video talking about the throttle i realized the end of the throttle spring fell off. Mowers running great now! My next step would've been the carb and I really did not want to have to mess with all that.
This video was excellent. I couldn't figure out where that spring went. My lawnmower is now running great! Thank you for being kind enough to post this video!
Thank you for the video. Like many others, I did not realize I was missing a spring.
Excellent! I couldn't find the spring part number but I have it now! Thanks!
The therm (connected to the exhaust) IS CLEARLY THE KEY!
Be sure that tiny spring is still there
IF IT STILL WON'T START, like mine, they must have left the gas tank filter out so clean your bowl & jet (it's the bolt) & if dirty clean both, drop the gas line, drain, NOW install an on line fuel filter & whamo! Now mine starts like a M.F. You're welcome!
Been having problems with my Toro and the stupid auto choke. Thanks for the nice clear vid showing where everything is. Greetings from England and our quick grow grass.
Great vid, i think i just found my prob..no spring. I was about to clean the carb real good (i still might!j from the video i watched prior, but then clicked this vid and Bingo...you saved it! Now..off to find a spring. A million thanks
You were the only one to assist in solving a great mystery for me. Thank you kindly
very well done video with clear instructions and video angles, i appreciate it
Great video.
Wish I had found it before venturing out on taking mine apart. Spent all day trying to figure out how to put it back together.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for this video. Have been having trouble with this very engine on a Toro mower, and you explained how the two springs work with that choke therrmostat.
Thank you I attached with out removing it all just that little flange piece
I’m so happy. I now need a pin for the brass float
Great Video ! I've started taking that first piece off and then just use a red rag to hold the choke back so it will start . I also tie the handle down with another red rag "harbor freight" Then when the mower starts I remove the choke rag and untie the handle rag . I guess you could call it the red rag remedy .
Great Video. Needed to see how the autochoke was positioned. Mine was not correct. Runs like a top now. Also appreciate the tip on bending the tab to increase the engine idle. They sure are making these mowers cheaper and cheaper. In the "olden days" we could adjust these settings and the engines would last forever.
Had the exact issue. Thanks for the help.
Thanks Brother!!! All day I have been cussing my mower I think you helped me figure out what was wrong.
Great video - perfect detail, including part number. perfect solution.
That was just what I wanted to know it was very helpful what u explain very good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I also noticed it looked like a spring attachment point but no spring! Thanks for confirming my suspicion. Now to find a spring.....
THank you as this gave me so much information! Mine is running 100% better now.
Exactly what i needed to know. Thanks!
I do recommend blowing off all the grass and dust before removing the carb or anything that exposes the oil sump. Good idea to blow off all that grass anyway, especially around the shroud and cooling vents to prevent overheating. The torque on all those bolts is 7.5 ft lbs. Good idea to own a torque wrench if you are going to do your own repairs.
Thank you. Now I know why the throttle stays closed. I need a spring. Thanks again and God bless you.
If there was a god, he would have magically fixed it for you!!
It looks like i need a spring too.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge !
you get a huge thumbs up...I tried everything.. and it was just a spring...thank you.. had to sub. thumbs up !!!!
I had the same type of problem with a mower just like that one and it fixed it thank you
This is by far the best video
good video. mine was doing this same thing but the choke arm under the exhaust was stuck close. pulled it all apart and cleaned it all up and it runs and cuts better than brand new
you are a life saver, thank You
Bought a 18 year old Craftsman for $40. Has the primer bulb instead of a choke. Works great. Got rid of that safety handle. Walk up, 3 squirts, pull the rope and away you go.
Thanks for the fix. You sound like Woody Harleson.
Thanks for your video. It helped a great deal.
Very helpful tips thanks $1,000 worth of information
Thank you so much for this information.. God Bless you and your family
Thanks dude. You showed me how to fix 2 problems I have haha :)
Hello if you want a shoot to spit grass out the side purchase a toro brand side cover shoot and mount it to your deck. On the toro door there are two prongs sticking out that hold the direction piece in place. This is a easy install for you. Nice tutorial.
Lol I watch your bubblebeet channel.. Now working on my mower, I hear your voice.. Had to subscribe.. Ur awesome!
Thanks, this is what my problem was. awesome idea with twist tie. (I will use zip tie)
Great video. Im missing that spring too ...thks
very nice video, and hope you will continue to do more
excelente video, thank you , greetings from mexico
Nice fix you did there
Thank you !! You are one smart guy.
good video! i wondered what that flap was for(i got a mower that was missing the whole carby assy and fitted an earlier one with a primer bulb.). i can see how it would have been a good idea if it wasn't so complex.. unlike the simple primer bulb
Thanks, this was helpful!
Thank you! I got the same mower now it starts every pull
Thanks for posting this!
Excellent video. I'm missing both springs on this mower that l picked up roadside. I bought a new carb on ebay for $6.05 with free shipping. You should see the air filter, or in this case, you might call it an oil filter. Obviously the former owner tipped the mower towards the carb side instead of the muffler side for some reason. Thank you.
thanks for the video helped me out
outstanding tutorial...thanks a lot!
This is my new favorite video
Thank you, I'm going to check
Worked for me I completely over looked the missing spring, put it on and started right up.
Great video! Thanks.
Thanks I connected without removing it all.
Well done there baw
What a Great Idea with the twist tie to keep the spring on.. man That's a Million Dollar Idea..I'd Patent That!!~ as Well as yer making it an Open shooter & bagger!~ Smartman!~ Thanks For making this Video..Very helpful even for us girls..~ {{hugs}]~
GREAT VIDEO. VERY COOL.
thanks for your help
Good stuff!
Well made video....
great video. thanks
I have an issue when mine would start cold runs fine i shut it off and when tried to start back I'd get black smoke and rough idle and sometimes would not start at all. I I'll have to check into this, thanks for the video
my spring was there, but it was stretched out on one end. ordered a new one. will see if it works. thanks for the vid.
Did it work?
i was going to make a video for my youtube channel, but I found this one. Good job. That sound at 00:43 sounds like the sound when the reveal the price on antique road show -- maybe thats what you were going for and it didnt go unnoticed.
Thanks Woody Harrelson!
Thanks. Couldn't find anything that even showed that part of the engine clearly. Seems my spring has gone too. Not sure where!
Thank you.
THANKS
Thanks big dawg
I just happened to stumble across this video. After watching, my auto choke spring seemed to be fine, but on closer inspection I noticed that the linkage behind the exhaust was crushed and not moving. I've had issues with this mower since new, that may be the issue.
Do you use a mulching blade?
thanks man
that is a super engine. starts with first pull
thanks
i had the exact same problem, however, the autochoke on the muffler was wrapped around the plastic arm that connects to the spring, is that not how its supposed to be? im talking about the part your touching on minute 4:03.
WASH ME. Great video! Subscribed!
Your tutorial helped me fix 4 issues and give a new life to the mower I was about to give away: the tip about bending the throttle attachment revealed the dormant power my mower had.
Thank you very much :)
One question, how sharp should the blades be for optimum cut?
Just a little bit of an edge on it. You don’t want it super sharp or it dulls quite quickly.
What model is your lawn mower? I just got a mower that looks pretty similar to this one but my brother in law didn’t give me any paperwork. The only thing I have seen is that it is a 190cc motor and it was built in 2010.
Thank you my friend you should are more mechanically inclined then I am. I don’t understand why you had to remove all of top and gas tank to replace that spring.
I took pics of your work on the phone it looks like the spring attaches under the arm.
I cleaned a carburetor on an engine just like that one. The engine is hard to start even after it gets hot and it runs like it is loosing power. I tightened the cylinder head bolts but that did not change anything. What can I do?
Thanks. This is my exact model and it's good to see how it comes apart. You saved me hundreds of dollars. Does the air filter ever need cleaning or replacement?
octopibingo you should probably replace it every year and beat the large chunks out on occasion
You really only have to remove the first the screws to get at the spring, though this shows good detail of what's inside.
Your outlet shoot should have a discharge attachment rather than needing to take it off.
Thank you for the video. What can I do/check if after cleaning and rebuilding the carburetor, replacing the spark plug, fresh gas and my lawn mower still doesn’t start up?
try squirting some choke cleaner or a small amount of gas into the carb opening. then try starting it up. also u can pull the spark plug then reconnect it to wire when outside engine to see if theres a spork when pulling the cord to make sure the electrical is working.
