Donny provides consistent excellence on small engines. He is number one in my book and the go to person on small engine issues. I also really like Steve's small engine saloon, and individualized repair. What's amazing to me is how each of these guys, Almost always, diagnose and solve problems the exact same way. Another most excellent repair AND advice! 👍👍👍
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon Steve I watch a lot of these repair videos and I can't tell you how many impostors there are out there. Guys that simply don't know what they're doing.Trying to make a few bucks on youtube. And then you have the narrators who don't do any work at all but simply talk while they film a chinese repairment working on an engine. There's so much fake news in filthy fakake media out there even on TH-cam.That one has to be very careful who they listen to and watch. Keep up the great work, As you guys are fantastic!!! 👍👍👍 P.S. Watch how the filthy fake news media tries to cover up that the democrats attempted to assassinate president trump in the filthy and rotten corrupt state of pennsylvania...
@@rayburnett3066 Yes ray and that's a fantastic recommendation. He is one of about six or seven channels that I consistently watch because these guys are the best in the business. Here is my list: - Dony Boy 73 - Raley's Small E give - Steve's Small Engine Saloon - Hester 71 - Individualized Repair - Taryl Dactyl (Funny skits too) - Mustie - L&M Small Engine
@@rayburnett3066 Yes, and T Bone is 1 of 9 channels that I exclusively watch and listen to their advice. The rest of the. People out there seem to be novices And real hacks. Here's my list and not necessarily in the order.I think who is best because all these guys are really very much top notch in their business. True experts and professionals at our and clinically superior in their field. In terms of mechanical small engine abilities, they have the equivalent of a PHD, each of them. Donnie boy 73 is not alone! - Hester 781 - Dony Boy 73 - Raley's Small engine - Taryl Dactyl (Funny videos as well) - Steve's small engine saloon - Mustie 1 - L&M small engine - Individualized repair - James Cordon I've spent literally hundreds of hours watching and learning, And I tried to give everyone on youtube a fair look. But quite honestly, there are so many bad ones out were truly hacks and don't know what they're doing that I only watch Is the above channels. And of course some of these guys have stronger strengths in some areas than other areas but every single one of them are truly exceptional in their business. Sort of like the small engine repair hall of fame. And I have discovered that it's very important to watch how they work with the tools they use. Including every single hand motion As they perform their work. One doesn't understand just how good these guys are until you truly watch and study every motion that they perform in order to make a certain repair. It's easy to get lost because the commentary is so informative, but it is vital to watch them as they work. Each of them are masters in the business. And if I was CEO of a company like M.T.D, Gravely, toro, kohler, briggs in stratton, Then I would instruct my engineering team to listen to and do exactly what they say to evaluate whether or not we should make changes to the design of the machines. The list above could easily become consultants in the business. Because there are decades of knowledge and experience is demonstrated on every single repair that they do. These guys are simply The best. But what's so amazing to me is the downright humility and honesty of each of them. Of course, no e of them would ever admit to being the best in the business, but each of them is, in my opinion. And a lot of people paid me a lot of money for my opinion During my work years in the business. Thanks for the feedback Ray, and take care.
I liked the way you slipped on that shut off now that they don't install them anymore when the build them, you're the first one I seen do this. I recently put one on my S110 but closer to the gas tank due to the limited space between where the fuel line comes up from under the mower to the gas filter. I had a STX 38 that they actually put the shut off on back years ago and it came in really handy when I wanted to change the gas filter.
Like the Briggs V-Twin engines. I have one on my personal machine. Only issue I’ve had is the valve guides have a tendency to move in the heads which can lead to the push rods coming off into the crank case. If you maintain them properly though they will run forever.
Valve guides moving is normally because of overheating. Overheating normally due to blocked cooling fins and dirty top engine. Blocked cooling fins and dirty top of engine because the engine shroud has not been removed and checked from lack of maintenance. So Briggs is not at fault, the owner or repair shop is for neglecting maintenance.
Good job thanks for showing us. I know you do what the customer wants, but I would have told them to replace the intake O-rings, to guarantee the job, a leaking 1would cause it to run bad.
I’ve been using a fuel stabilizer in my John Deere X300 since 2010 when I put it away in the winter and have never had a problem starting it in the spring. When you use a shut off, there will still be some fuel left in the bowl that can go bad. Here in Canada all fuels have the same percentage of ethanol where over a year ago only premium was ethanol free. My machine runs fine on 87 so I use it, plus it’s cheaper. BUT I’m also using Ethanol Shield from Home Depot in my small engine machines fuel jug to combat the water that can form from using ethanol fuel.
Thank you Donny! Nice clear video as always. I'm just stunned how few people realize the importance of good "Carb Care"!! Meaning..... * ALWAYS use Top-Tier Certified Ethanol-FREE Premium whenever possible. * SHELL V-power Premium is a very good one! * My fave Fuel-stabilizer is Seafoam. I've bought a lot of it over the years. * I add it to our Cars' fuel AND Oil before an O/C. * I leave fuel IN the tank/Carbs during storage. I add extra SF to about a 1/3 full tank, run for 5mins, then shut it off for the winter months. * Have never had an issue with dried-out gaskets, etc. "Let it roll Donny....down the Highway"!! BTO baby! 🎤🎸🥁🎼🎙📻
Off topic but I was watching the lawn boy carb clean video from 13 years ago. It looked like you were videoing with a camcorder. No hate it actually helped me out. I just picked up 8 lawn boys to get running.
Another great repair Dony! Btw, that's the only time the Nikki's are any good......new outta' the box! If I'm not mistaken, those are the replacements for the Walbro's on certain Briggs engines, at least down here in the South anyway. From Sophia, N.C., USA
Great video Donny! Just did this on my LX277, new oem carb was like $280.00 MeriKan. Took the old carb off and tried cleaning it, but somebody was in it before me and stripped the threads that the main jet and emulsion tube screw into carb with; not the heads on the jets themselves and when I put it back together, apparently the main jet, although bottomed out, wasn't installed all the way and the carb wouldn't pick up any gas from the bowl. Couldn't rebuild the old carb because of the damage. Now the thing runs like new.
Fuel shut is the safest way of protecting all your equipment over long periods. Gas wouldn't fill the oil over long periods can't always count on the solenoid.
One thing I have started doing is to draw, somewhere near the gas valve an illustration of off and on. There is nothing worse than getting a call that the engine won't start and the issue is that the gas valve is still in the off position.
I don't think any other repair channel comes close to Donny's expertise in camera work, and detailed concise explanation of the work at hand. Very much appreciated. Awesome video Don!!!
Just an fyi about ethanol in Ontario anyway: when you could get “no ethanol” gas it was only 91 grade - surprisingly premium had up to 10%. And only Shell, PetroCan and Canadian Tire. This was last year and I checked with all of them (through customer service) about the availability. This year looks like even those three chains will no longer carry ethanol free fuel.
My buddy has one of these Vtwins with that crazy carb/manifold set up, it was surging. I foolishly took the carb bowl off without removing that crazy plastic manifold, regretted that decision. Took a few attempt to get it assembled correctly. I was afraid of touching that cheesy plastic manifold and having it warp and never seal properly...Didn't realize it has orings instead of gaskets, that makes a big difference. So many people seem to be replacing dirty carbs with the cheap amazon "fits all replacement carbs", this is a mistake. That stuff is "inexpensive" for a reason, probably isn't gonna fit or work right, and the gas chews em up pretty quick. Most carbs carbs be easily cleaned, except for this crazy set up. So, if you choose to replace the carburetor, it is best to spend the big bucks and use the exact OEM replacement.
Great vid, Don!! Have you ever run into problems with those plastic fuel shut-off valves? I have found them to leak over time, but that was with gravity-fed delivery systems. Not ones with fuel pumps like on that Briggs. (Meaning that the valve would be empty during storage.).
Sounded almost exactly like my Briggs this spring. Mowed lawn, sounded and worked 90% better under load then I think it cleared up to 100% going down hill hitting a bumpy spot in the lawn. I got lucky I think. New engine though. Bottom line is gas.
No sense i swapped out carburetors on it Kohler command cv15s its doing ok surprisingly does have a surge i can fix it later or leave it how it is probably will widen it later on. I will be working on my yardman riding mower soon i gotta raise its deck engagement lever back about 2 in a half inches or to 3 because its original blade engagement cable is discontinued and the ones they do sale are all that much to short for my mower and for anyone else's 2014 yardman thats the best i can do for it unless i make my own cable
Great video! I have a 42" Husqvarna YT42LS with a Kohler 22hp V-Twin engine. I've always wanted to install an in-line fuel shut valve for the same reasons you mentioned in your video, but I don't know what the fuel line diameter is. Are they usually standard across brands? And what brand valve would you recommend? Thanks!
There is a Deere at work that is always leaking oil. New filter and oil, drain is snug, running smooth too. Could it be an O ring or washer on the oil drain ?
I've never ran premium in my D130, always 89 octane but I also always add STA-BIL when I fill the can. Over 10 years and haven't had an issue. (immediate start from cold and smooth at idle) Is there still an advantage to premium over my method?
I love briggs because when you get a new carb they include the new gasket . Other brands are suck because they not include any new gasket and sell then like is made out of gold . Like honda .
That engine is surging like a race horse in heat! You don't want to get a clog in your idle jet, ya aint having happy fun times like that. I always found getting those Briggs twin-berrel carbs harder to get off the engine, plus I hated those bowl screws instead of bolts. Just hold the end of the intake horn to your mouth, and then say, reeekolaaa! That carb throat looks like a set of binoculars don't it? lol I call that the reach around choker. Good job on this one, these Niki's can be tricky, yes I say their tricky, as in they annoy the hell outta me, their tricky, their tricky. Lining up holes could be a Saturday activity, but for Briggs, its a lifetime commitment.
Im gonna measure how short the replacement cable is for my model and these aftermarket is the same part number for the oem that has been discontinued this problem has to be why no one else is still using the old yardman riding mower's they hadn't figured out how to solve the engagement cable breaking problem but i did after i knock out that problem I've got to level the pulley belt guide bracket. Then after that work on the Kohler command 22 to settle its none charging problem
HAHAHAH Thanks Don. You are working on a Mower while someone else in the Background was cutting Grass. Is there a reason You removed the top cover bolts when all You had to do was loosen them ?? Mike M.
I have a 60's McLane edger with a 1 1/2 horse Briggs and Straitton motor. The points and condenser have been removed. With all the different coils out there, no one can tell me which to buy. The coil on it worked until now and has a weak spark. There are the 2 ends against the flywheel and a center round piece of metal on the coil. Is there to recharge the magnets and what would be the coil to buy to replace the coil on it? Thanks for your time.Have a nice day.
Got a question for you regarding lubrication of the spindles on any riding lawn mower. Mine is a JD130. Is it really necessary to inject grease into the entire spindle shaft OR can one simply pop out the bearings, lubricate and re-install? Is grease actually necessary for the spindle shaft? Yes, this is a hot topic on TH-cam about greasing the bearings through the zerk througb the shaft. The ultimate target of the grease is lubrication of the bearings. So, does it do anything for tbe shaft? Fair question. Keep pumping out those videos. Your channel is probably the best. Thanks. 🇨🇦🍻
The grease might eventually get through the sealed bearings but I wouldn't count on it. I replace spindles with grease in them and the bearings are shot. The best way it to take the seals off the bearings and then the grease will get in after when you grease through fitting.

Yes it’s a common place for it to leak
Take a 15/16 open end wrench and tighten it up snug 😊
And check it every oil change from now on and the other engines also 😊

It might be worth trying a kit or Chinese carburetor on there.

Would be helpful to have the actual engine model number and serial.
Oh, Deere!!
I would have invested in a can of seafoam first.
Did you or the customer take apart the carb to see what the problem was? Just curious.
yes, very gummed up and corroded. the machine had been sitting for years
Nice! :)
Don, does that carb cost over $300 USD ?
Dam that is crazy high price up there 😢😢😢
Going by the part number he showed (796997), it's $200 (US), from the Briggs and Stratton site.
Canadian not USD
What causes this or why does this happen ...
The oem carbs are so dang high price that most people refuse them and go to China carb 😢
