Great video. Always nice to watch someone that knows what they're doing.
This is the best of many youtube videos I watched to try to figure out my lawnmower. Although it does help that my mower is just like the one in this video, with a Tecumseh engine, nowhere else did I see the float adjustment, shown at 17:38 into this video. I had put the same kit in, with the needle valve and seat, and it would run fine, but then slowly leak out all the gas. The float adjustment did the trick. THANK YOU JEFF!
good job! Thank you!
Just tore down my whole engine and cleaned it well. replaced the coil, ran it and sprayed sea foam in, adjusted the spring for carb, and it runs awesome now.
This helped a lot. I just got one of these mowers and had to do work on it. Thanks.
Well done. Clear and precise. Camera in focus. No dopey music intro. Thanks.
So I had this exact brand and model toro, and a craftsman lawn mower. Both have the exact same engine. I figured it was easy enough to fix mowers to flip for a side job. I'm pretty good with research to figure out problems. Yet when i got these two mowers carbs serviced, neither one started afterwards. One week trying to figure this out. I did find a dead coil on the toro, switching coils back and forth from mower to mower. Sanding coils, and the contact points on the flywheel. They are older so I deemed them coincidentally, timing being off. But I thought I would research a little more. I found this video. In the end it was pretty much ignorance on my part. The carburetor bowls go on a certain way! Thanks man. 5 years later and still helping.
Thanks for watching, good job!
It 's nice when things work out so easily.
Thank you,
You do very nice repair jobs. Wish you had a work bench and garage. I did it like you for years until I finally got my shop. Love it. Thanks for the video's.
Thank you! Love to see it done before I do it! Very good talk through!
Awesome video ,game changer in hepling me maintain my 2007 toro, thanks again for the instruction and video.
Thanks Jeff Little you help me out in a Big way brother!!!
A really really good video, by far the best I've seen on this, because you show and explain things really well in a calm voice. My tecumseh won't start, after 2yrs being stored. It has a good spark and good compression and renewed fuel, but it is dead on start up. So the carb must be gunged up with stale fuel and probably tiny rubber parts have deteriorated, as you show here. But it is all so unbelievably fiddly to do, and get back together again properly. I don't think I'll be able to manage doing this, but I'll have to try. Everything is so tiny and fiddly, and has to be so clean, you have to be like a surgeon with it all. Great video, I admire you're skill and presentation, thankyou, best wishes from Alan, in England.
Always struggled with this carb thanks for clearing it up for me!
Tecumseh air filter 36905 just what I needed to know. Thank you so much.
Didn't know about bending that tab with the spring. Thanks man!
Watching this video made my lower back hurt !! I put my mower up on the tailgate of my truck. Less back strain. :D Good Video Thanks
Yeah, no back strain by lifting a mower up to your tailgate I guess?
The video was so good that when I rebuilt my carb I got it done in one beer!
strong work! lol!
Thank you, nicely explained and the video is excellent showing close up. Tomorrow I will try it. I have the same toro lawn motor.
i find your videos so great at explaining how to do things great work man!!!!
New coil installed, not leaking fuel and all is well. Many Thanks Again...
Reseated it and think all is well now. The needle hanger was binding. Have not started it but at least it is not over flowing. Waiting on new coil to arrive. Thanks a million for your suggestions. :)
Thank you for a very informative lesson that did get the message across
thanks. I didn't have to go to the same extent you did but it was all good information and well presented.
Awesome work thanks for sharing I learned a lot
Use your Tecumseh Tool, that's one of it's purpose to check for proper clearance between the plastic float and the metal carb frame. I scribe line on the bowl and the carb base where it was originally assembled, so I can reassemble the bowl correctly. Great illustration video, that you for that. Thumbs up!
thanks! Great tip!
Thank you , got a yardman with the same model Tecumseh motor you did . A junk find , fixed the starter and it had a broken bolt in the blade holder - went ahead and presently soaking the carburetor for a couple of days in submerged gasoline . Done did all the other things , good spark, good compression, hopefully it doesn't have a bent or partially bent shaft . Fingers crossed after I put a new blade holder and new blade on it . I said a junk find , gave $12.50 for it . It still has a lot of paint underneath the mower deck , thinking this mower wasn't used that much . Didn't know that until recently they quit making Tecumseh motors either ...Cheers
Yess this is the one exactly like I have so glad to now u had a video on this type and everything hopefully everything is good and runs on mine whenever I get it back togeather . Been a pain in the butt and I definitely got to get a air filter for mine too
Make sure to not knock any dirt down in the hole Jeff ! 😄
THANKS for all the info!
Thank you for the explanation of how to do maintenance to the carburetor of my lawn more. Your explanation was very clear.
Thank you! you are welcome
Great video! Just cleaned the same carb a second time - first before your video - then after. I missed the hidden jet behind the small cap. I was lucky I didn't need any parts. The bottom O-ring on the emulsion tube has seen better days. I just picked up an assorted o-ring kit... will replace the two O-rings in the next few days. although its running fine.
I'll be doing this tomorrow.
Excellent job!!! Well done, illustrated very well. Showed step by step from start to finish.
Thank you very much!
Hey Jeff , To remove a Tecumseh carb, Take out the two bolts holding the manifold to the head and it will come right off without fighting it like shown in your video.
I do the same I thi knots funny watching people struggle with that back bolt when really you should have the whole assembly in your hands🤣🤦♂️
That's how I did it.
Great video. Thanks for the detailed assembly/tune up work. The four bolts that hold the engine cover can be a nightmare if they are rusted and caked with debris. Pays to keep them clean & plug the holes with a cork.
Hello Jeff, Awesome video very detailed, I have had fixed many lawn mowers over the last few years for elderly neighbors and friends, thanks to helpful experienced mechanics like yourself. So Thank You for helping people that are on a restricted budget and just need a little help sometime from a DIY person.Most problems are due to bad gas because of high ethanol percentage and build up from not being used enough, mostly dirty or worn out carb pairs from ethanol gas.
I was hoping you could advise me on something on same mower and engine shown in video.
I have replaced and cleaned every part you shown in the video,( I didn't know about the small screw and port under the cap) I cleaned that as well.All New filters,Air, oil & spark Plug changed, new fuel line , cleaned gas tank and using 4 cycle ethanol free fuel.
The mower is running as it should and I am able to mow the yard with it but the engine while idling or using it still seems to stagger a bit (not quite enough to call it an obvious strong surging sound), just not a solid smooth constant engine sound like yours was at the end of the video, if I up the rpm it still does the same thing so not sure if bending the bar will help or I springs are worn. I was curios about the adjustment screw that was not mention in the video , but saw in the comments someone asked about it and you mentioned it was the idle screw, I am not sure if that would help or not? or if it could be the float out of adjustment as you shown in video or what it could be causing the staggering engine sound. Again I replaced all parts in the carb with new ones, O rings, float & needle and cleaned all inlet and outlet ports.
Any suggestions on what could be causing the engine to stagger and not run soothly?
Not sure without hearing it. It could be a partially sheared flywheel key, very tough to diagnose but you could check that. Look for large dents in the blade too this could indicate that the blade hit something hard and sheared the flywheel key.
Great video Jeff! I am so thrilled. First time taking on a lawn mower repair. Not interested in forking out all that $ for a new mower and what great satisfaction it is to get it mowing again. I'm in Ontario Canada ....finding the genuine replacement parts was time consuming but worth it.
Excellent! Good job
This video is really awesome. I decided to replace the whole carb ($19 including spark plug, filter & plenty of fuel line). The job went super smooth thanks to the video. The only extra step was to move the air filter mounting bracket from the old carb to the new one.
good job! thanks for watching
Got a part number for the carb?
Need carb number to 😊
Excellent explanation!
This was very helpful thank you Jeff
Thanks for posting this informative video.
Excellent video. It was exactly what i was looking for. You just saved me $ 500 on a new mower. Thanks !
Glad I could help
I would like to thank You for your great Videos, I've seen rebuild videos before, But You took the guess work out ,
Thank you So much keep them coming,,,,,,
Thank you very much
I bought a new carburetor rather than rebuild it. Amazon had a kit that included a carburetor, air filter, fuel line, spark plug, fuel filter. I didn't use anything but the carburetor and air filter. I gave the lawnmower a very good cleaning...wasn't quite as filthy as the one in the video, but it had a lot of crud built up under the cover and behind the things I took off. 15 year old Toro recycler self-propelled lawnmower runs great now! Thank you so much!
How much was the kit from amazon?
You were lucky. These kits are Chinese knockoffs most of the time, many of them are faulty. Rather than throwing something away, rebuild it. A carb is something you don´t just swap out unless it is in very bad condition and unsavable.
@@mcdavidhome100 too cheap
@@v-g-z3689 I was not so lucky. First replacement only lasted a season. Had to replace it again last year and never was able to get it to run.
@@lydiahubbell6278 Yep, that´s what happens, not surprised at all.
Thank you ,this helped a lot !
Thank so so much saved me a lot of time and effort. Seems I had a small bit of debris in my slow idle screw port and I was a no start. You showed me the problem and she runs like a champ! All the best!
Jay
Good video. The only other suggestion is to add a fuel cutoff switch between the gas tank and the carb. This is the best way to let the machine turn off so you can ensure the carb is empty and doesn't gum up with ethanol. It's a $5 mod.
Great tip!
Great informational Video and he shows everything, my 1 concern is he did not put the clamp back on his gas line when he installed the new gas line.So I would worry about him working on my lawn as the motor could get hot and the gas start leaking and boom.
THANK YOU SO MUCH MR. JEFF YOU ARE THE GREATEST !
Thanks for watching friend
Fancy crochet hook... appreciate the video, I just got one of these.
Thanks. Very informative. My mistake was a stupid one but your video was the only one that made me recognize it. Linkage in the wrong hole. DUHHHH! Thanks again.
Glad it helped
I swear after I watch your video and fix my carburetor, just enough time goes by for me to forget how to do it so after two years, here I am again! 😂
LOL, I have had to watch my own video before to get info that I have forgotten....
Well earned thumbs up for rock and roll chickens!
Finally an excellent video on rebuilding a tecumseh carb but holy crap dude, power wash that thing before re-installing the carb.
Great Job Great Video, Thanks.
thanks. your closeups are really good.
Thank you!
Thank you Jeff for the detailed instruction.
There is a small detail missing. See time slot 4:52 ~ 4:55 for removing a clamp that is used for secure fuel line to the carburetor. When the demonstrator attached the fuel line back to the carburetor at 22:27 ~ 22:33, he did not install the clamp. The fuel line and the clamp should have been attached before 19:40.
no clamp is ok as long as it doesn't leak. New fuel line fits tight also
Excellent! Thank you!
In my case I bought a new carb from ebay it was only 13 bucks. My old 88 16775 model the carb was too far gone from water filling it over winter. It was left on my property so I took on the project 😁
That was an excellent & informative video. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great job Jeff: You are correct in the way the clip for the float goes on. It goes toward the intake side of the carb. Thanks for the great video's.
good to know! thanks friend
@@JeffsLittleEngineService
Jeff i have 2 belts on mine can you explain were the end of second one goes
Thanks for the great video
Clean the dog-on lawnmower exterior like you did the interior parts. It's the professional way to do things and pleases the customers like presenting them with a new lawnmower. Great job on the tuneup. How you left the exterior dirty was very irritating to many of us.
that would be nice but I cannot wash 6 lawnmowers a day everyday at my place it would make a huge mess over time
No Morr Peter!
Great video!! Thank you sir!
I hope it helped.
Great video thanks
thanks friend!
I have them same one an problems... I don't know where that part came off I learn by watching. My air filter is great knew spark plug so on!!
Nice video Jeff. You covered a lot of points others never mention such as the proper orientation of the float bowl relative to the float hinge. However I did not see you replace the fuel line clamp after attaching the line. Even up to the point of replacing the engine cover. Lots of vibration in these kinds of engines.
Good observation its best to use a clamp but often not needed
Those gas lines won't usually leak without clamps
JEFF , your Tecumseh tool is the gap for setting the float hieght using the 2 flat sides spanning the carb under the float , you can also use a 13/64 drill bit flat under the float.
cool! Thanks for the info. I did not know that
You do it your way smart ass i will do it the tech trained way smart ass.
And further more you must have a lot of carbs pissing fuel out due to a worn seat and needle your way SMART ASS
Gil Picard leave the gut alone....
you are a real dumb ass
I appreciate this. Thank you Sir.
Glad it helped
excellent video,very helpful,,thanks
Thanks friend!
FANTASTIC video my man ! 😀
Thanks for the visit
You Are THe Man.THANKS
Awesome video - thanks
Thanks for watching!
thank you for this video . 👍
You're welcome friend
Good to see you removed carburetor off of manifold not engine all linkage stays on engine. The emulsion tube can be tricky to get out. Some times I have to dig the lower oring out with a tiny screwdriver to get it moving. When it won't come out all the way I have a course thread sheet rock screw to pull it rest if way out. I have extra tubes on hand
I agree those plastic emusion tubes can be difficult to remove sometimes. I often push down on it from inside the carb throat with a screwdriver and use a 90 degree pick to poke it the rest of the way through..
Love how he makes it look easy, I'm suffering like a dog,
Yep!! Me to!!
Me three!
And damn it's hot outside!!!!!
@Abasc Yiahim That's why I don't do my own work! They always make it look simple in the video, but.... You have to remember most likely this is their umpty millionth repair on the same kind of engine....
Grate Video you did a good job
Thanks KB's!
Thank's good learning
Thanks for watching
Awesome video thanks
thanks for watching
Good Video
This video confirms I will never be able to work on engines hahaa great video and explanation!
you can do it!
Never knew these went together like this, I avoid Tecumseh for the shitty carbs but I didn't know they were simple like this.
The Tecumseh tool also has a float adjustment use also.
Great Video
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks
Nice vid
Don’t see many tecumseh mowers in West Texas, it’s 95% b/s stuff and kohler, kas are making a strong comeback now on zero turn mowers
Tecumseh's were kind of a crap engine in my opinion.
Very good thanks
A true backyard mechanic. Cheers.
I had one of them with a Tecumseh on it, got rid of it and I got me one with a Briggs and Stratton! Problem solved! Running strong,starts on first pull every time, 11 years old!
good upgrade
i found a TORO lawn mower on the side of the road it had a 190cc Briggs Flathead and the gas tank was full of gas the oil was low but i put some more oil in it and gave it a big pull and it started running i had no use for the mower since we already have a riding mower so i put the engine in my racing lawnmower
You sure have a lot of dirt and debris in the ares you're working on, its like causing the possibilities of acquiring dirt in the carburetor upon removal and replacement. Clear that dirt out first. I water hose clean all my lawn equipment after each use and do a safety inspection, especially the under decks. A thumbs up from Pennsylvania.
Best video ever
lol! thanks!
Thanks for this informative video. I have the exact same Techumseh engine on my 2007 Toro mower. The deck on my Toro is a little different, mine is not a high wheel and is rear wheel drive, but the engine is the exact same 6.5 HP. They probably used that same engine on various mower decks.
What is the typical running RPM for these mower engines? I heard somewhere 3,000 RPM?
Really nice video. If you stupidly played with the adjustment screw (with the spring on it), any tips on how to get that back to factory setting? Thanks!
thank you. The threaded end should poke through apx. 1/8". If you adjust it while running you can set it where you like.
Thanks Jeff - to increase the RPM on my Toro with the same engine, I used the torx screw right next to the spring bracket you bent (visible at 24:02) - was this incorrect for me to do? Thanks for the video and the part numbers - very helpful!
it is ok. that screw adjusts the idle speed. it won't hurt to screw it in more.
Jeff's Little Engine Service hey Jeff thank you by the way but why is my primer bulb not priming abd the lawnmower is starving for gas does it need full rebuild
Well... got a Toro ... a bit different model but the owners manual says it's the same engine. First time I ever did repair on a lawn mower engine instead of junking and buying a new mower ( cheap mower ) was replacing the carburetor.
Now .... for the first time in multiple decades of mowing grass ( mostly my own ) I changed the oil. Wasn't too hard after finding some vids on youtube. Got it changed ... put oil back in... sharpened blade ( have done this a few times ). Mowed once this year ...... Was on the second mowing of the season and after about 30min .... white smoke was billowing.
So ok .... I know that means burning oil. Stopped the mower .... checked the dip stick there was oil on the stick said low but there was some on it. Added some more and wondered if it would restart. First pull .... popped right off. Bit of white smoke then cleared up. 30 seconds later billowing white smoke?
Toro's damn pricey to replace so thinking I'd like to fix. Do I tear all the way down to the piston to replace rings? FOr this I'd go to a mechanic and pay him. Or .... is there a seal ( blown ) that might be the only thing needed. How do you tell?
By the way .... Nice video.
Thanks! It could be a blown head gasket OR your engine may be ruined from low oil
Very good video. Just an FYI, you buy a new replacement carb with air filter and spark plug for less than $20 on Amazon. Reviews are pretty good.
Always use OEM carburetor. I don't trust those cheapo carbs. good luck!
Thank you for saving me $400 for a new mower!
I have this lawnmower and I never have a problem with it
These were good mowers, that Tecumseh LEV was actually better in performance than the similar Briggs Quantum from the same time. And if you service them properly they will last quite long.
Jeff, I did not mention that when I took it apart, there was no seat. Thought it may have fallen out. I have now seen two videos saying theirs did not have a seat. One seemed to be saying he did not install one when he put it back together. Do you know if some of them came without them and the needle just seated on the metal lip? Thanks again.
I have the same two lawnmowers...The old murry has given me a headache...Retired Larry....
