Thanks CP. What I thought would be a problem to record in a shop has actually worked out in my favor. Those voice overs work well. Thanks for watching!
Good video. 2 points. One; the stacking of the diaphragm and the gasket depends on if the carb is the "F" or not. Some carb gaskets go in in the more traditional order, so just pay attention to the way they came off. The other point is that Feldmann had been recommending for many years recently to use 40:1 and not 24:1. With the limited amount of holes that are typically drilled, and with the synthetics that had been mentioned in this video, we don't see any premature wear with this ratio. 24:1 is fine too, but why bother with the extra smoke and having to change plugs.
I had forgotten all about the F carb. Thanks but I fear none of this matters. I didn't repair one single gas auger this winter. Everyone is just buying battery versions.
I’ve seen a lot of these videos and everyone seems different in regards to the diaphragm big metal disc going up into the carb or reverse as well as the positioning of the gasket.
Well it probably doesn't matter anyway because around here everyone that has a gas powered auger in need of service is just buying a battery auger instead.
The factory installed them in the way this video depicts, likely due to most FOD threats are from ice and water shooting up and not something falling down, but to be honest I've seen them run without this part.
So those cheap carbs I have used quite a but on the 4 cycle stuff with no issues. I've even got one on my Troy Built snowblower that gets a ton of use.
I have a 5hp Tecumseh 2 stroke motor looks just like this one your working on. Would the carb gasket and diaphragm orientation be the same?? thanks having alittle trouble with mine flooding and I got my gaskets/diap reversed.
@@VintageEngineRepairs Did you see the users guide on this page?: www.trillww.com/sparkcheckr Seems there are a number of reasons you might see a yellow light.
@@TheGreasyShopRag yeah I caught that mate, turns out the plug had very low resistance. Put a new plug in it and it turned green lol love the content and will do a shoutout to you / your channel for the tester, very convenient!
Thats good advice. I wonder if I'll ever work on one of these again. I think this was the last unit I worked on and the repair is much older than the video upload date. Everyone has gone battery powered.
Thanks for showing different things that I normally wouldn’t see. Take care.
Thanks for watching those repairs!
Thanks for thanking the guy that thanks you.@@TheGreasyShopRag
@@MxRyder19 Thanks for thanking me for thanking the guy that thanked me!
I love those specialty tools. Those are invaluable. nice piece of history.
I didn't repair a single gas powered auger this winter. Of course part of that is due to a mild winter for us.
I love the way you narrate this videos I always enjoy your blog!! Great video scott!!

@@TheGreasyShopRag it's extremely cool I find it to be relaxing and enjoyable!!

Must be fun to get something different across the bench
Ya I post a lot of chainsaw videos but I have to repair all the odd stuff that comes through. I enjoy it.

That Jiffy is still on my back bench. Ordered a crank seal, told the guy he could have it for next year 🙂

My guess is its like the one in the video but I can't say for sure.
@@TheGreasyShopRag the original 5hp Jiffy ran the Clinton motor which had a fuel bowl and float.
Hey Scott, quick question, do you find your yellow spark tester will often read a yellow flashing light on small engines even with good coils & spark?
If it has a yellow light I've never seen it. I only remember it having green and red but I'll take a closer look at it when I get a chance.
@@TheGreasyShopRag I picked one up, on a few different pieces of equipment that all work, it flashes yellow. On others it flashes green lol.

New China carb cheeper than tecumseh rebuild kit workes fine your choice!!!!!!¡
New china carbs sometimes work great. Other times things don't match up correctly. Its a gamble.
Take flywheel cover off inspect coil airgap n rubbing thank me tomorrow a lot of vibration here to rune things I know 1st hand
