    I'm glad so many people are having success by using this method!! For the few people who haven't had luck with this, check out my newer video for the same type of engine. I'll teach you how to clean the plastic carburetor and show you where it's likely to be clogged at. Keep commenting, I love hearing about your success.

    Great advice! It worked for me. Mower sat all winter with gas in the tank because I'm an idiot. It wouldn't even turn over when pulling the cord.... NOTE: It took about 10 minutes of spray, try it, spray, try it - alternating between carb cleaner and starter fluid. On multiple attempts it would run for a few seconds then sputter and stop. My wife was sure I didn't know what the heck I was doing and as each minute passed, I grew increasingly worried she'd was right. Then it caught and I strutted around the lawn - with the mower.

      "Mower sat all winter with gas in the tank because I'm an idiot." - I think that's why most of us are here lol. I initially thought it was the spark plug, and my wife was watching me while I replaced it and started losing confidence in my abilities when it didn't work. This time I am going to wait until she's out of the house to fix it first, then I'll set it up and get her to watch as I miraculously repair it. Husbanding is a fine art!

      These engines get thrown out all the time and just need cleaning. If you are going to throw your mower out and buy a new one, I suggest looking at TH-cam videos and learn how to clean everything and the basic steps of diagnostics first. What do you have to lose? 10 buck says you take your time, clean it up and save 100 bucks!

    Awesome video....about a month ago I took my lawn mower into our local repair shop because it wouldn’t start. When I first got it back it started fine but it got tougher to start every time until the point I could not get it to start at all. I wasn’t going to take it back to the shop for another $80 so I searched out TH-cam and found your video. Well, I just saved myself $74 dollars by watching your video and going out and buying carb cleaner and starter fluid. Your solution was spot on and I can’t thank you enough. Got my mower fired up using your tips. Keep the great videos coming!

    Thanks. I got an old mower with my new house and I'd left mine behind a couple houses ago. I replaced the black oil, and gave it an air filter and it worked fine until this winter after a month or so. Finally put a new spark plug and WD everything as i also sharpened the blade but it start and stalled like your video. Luckily the former owner who never did maintenance on the mower had 2 cans on Carb Cleaner. Did what you did just with that and no Quick Start and it did the trick.

    Glad your method worked. This is good for people that don't want to take apart everything. My method would have consisted of checking the fuel, air filter, spark and then pulling the carburator off and cleaning it. I'm surprised you were able to pull this off, but I bet the problem comes back. Something is dirty in the fuel system and needs to be completely referbished though cleaning and or part replacement. If I don't get it to start in 3 or 4 pulls, inspection and removal of parts will happen so I can save my shoulder. LOL! Glad you got it working!

    • @manofculture4945
      @manofculture4945 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yea I fix and sell mowers and riding mowers but usually when I get them, they are so badly abused and dirty, that I just get straight into cleaning the carb or even replace the carb and after that they usually start pretty quickly and run fairly good. Most of the time it is the carb that is very dirty but there is usually nothing wrong with the spark. 1 out of 15 mowers have something more complicated wrong with them, (I can fix but just takes more time) like valve adjustment, flywheel key, etc.

    Thank You Thank You. I watched the video because I borrowed my neighbors Log Splitter with a 6 HP Briggs and Stratton Engine after 2 weeks of splitting the engine wouldn't start. I had an old can of Starter Fluid tried that no good. So you said 85% of problems are usually the fuel. I went to the Auto Supply bought Carb cleaner and Starter Fluid. Sprayed it first couple of minutes nothing but than BAM it started and I let it run about 15 minutes and runs great now. Thank You and Love TH-cam

    Ok was working on exactly the same machine and engine. Did everything he recommended and nothing just started for 5 seconds from starter fluid. To make a long story short. Follow all his recommendations but first take handle of screwdriver and gently tap bottom of carburetor. That and a squirt of starter fluid in filter will have you up and running in seconds. 👍

    My mower almost the same model but a push mower died , checked the air filter removed the foam filter (I cleaned it in with dawn detergent last week) pulled the rope it started then died about 20 times, gas is new stocked up on ethanol free gas from WaWa, I pulled the spark plug and it was fouled "Loose" tried to clean it with sand paper, ran carb cleaner through it before I put it back in, still run and die Went to Walmart bought a new spark plug in the Lawn Mower section checked fit it was a adapted version but correct. Install spark plug same thing run then die tried about 10 times, no luck. Then followed your and my advice about the carb cleaner but only carb cleaner I took the mower and set it on its side and filled it with about 10 blasts of carb cleaner right in to the carburetor, GUESS WHAT It started ran and I mowed my entire 2 yards I own 2 houses next to each other big lawns!!

    My Briggs and Stratton is only 1 year old and won't start this summer. I tried with the old fuel at first then tipped the mower upside down to drain the old fuel and replaced it with new fuel. I haven't checked the plug yet but do you have any tips I could try instead of spending 100s on repairs?

    • @TractorHoarders
      @TractorHoarders  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It is most likely that your carburetor has a clogged passage. I have other small engine repair videos on my channel that you can check out, and within a week or so, I plan to upload a newer video on carburetor cleaning. 85% of the time, using a combination of starting fluid and carburetor cleaning works for me, but sometimes you have to disassemble the carburetor and clean the passages a little more thoroughly.

    I am currently working on a 675 series z-start / ready start that just WONT! I cleaned gray sludge from fuel bowl and cleared blockage of center passage of bowl bolt. I pulled spark plug from working mower and it still won’t start. Will tackle it again in the morning.
    A suggestion I would add when disconnecting the fuel line is to insert a 1/4” hex nut driver bit (with round shank) into line. Prevents fuel spillage and leaves both hands free. I also use a spring clamp on start/run handle when spraying into carb. My arms are short!
