I just had the exact same problem. First start of the year wouldn't go. I thought I wouldn't see carb problems this year b/c I used fuel stabilizer in all my engines before I put them away for the winter. I've come to the conclusion that the fuel needs to be drained from the tank and the carb at the end of the season.
Thank you for visiting & taking the time to comment. I find it the best way to store equipment as well. I will run it until it runs dry. I am not 100% sure but I think the stabilizer works better with non ethanol gas.

I have just about the same thing but my mower will run for about 30 minutes and then die. It starts right back up and dies in about 5 minutes. It then keeps dying every few minutes. I have replaced the fuel cap, fuel line, fuel filter and air filter. could it be the electronics? It is a 2001 mtd yard machine with a tecumseh 15.0 ohv. Any ideas? I am about to replace the carb. Thx for your help
Long Hair Hippie Pirate, It may be the coil. When they are going bad but still produce spark they stop working when they get hot. Once cooled off they start again. Drove me crazy. If you can get the specs you can check the OHMs to make sure before you buy a new one. I do not have them or I would send them to you. Maybe a local shop will check it out for you if you cannot get the specs. Looks like you covered the fuel supply. Remove the fuel tank, make sure nothing is in it or the nipple where the fuel line connects to it. I have found debris & small bugs causing a clog .Change the spark. Also remove the kill wire on the magneto/coil. You will have to use the choke to shut it off if this works and if this works it means the that wire has a short in it . I hope this will be of help .And thank You for watching and taking the time to comment.

I know exactly what you were talking about with the dirty outside of a carburetor. Normally before I start taking it apart I stop that my part washer give it a good cleaning and rinse it off with some water and either wait for it to dry or blow it out and then start taking it all apart. I've had a couple people who thought doing it that way would get water and cleaner into the carburetor and would stop it from working. Like I tell them when everything is taken apart all the parts go into my Sonic cleaner which is filled with water and cleaner. I'm really glad I clicked on your video. I haven't had to work on any of the new carburetors. I don't work on small engines as a job I mostly do it just because I was forced to retire early and I get bored. So all my neighbors friends and family all bring their broken things here and I work on their things for nothing. The only thing I ever charge anyone for is if I have to order parts or doing oil change. I like how you show that little o-ring I would not have known that was in there and in all likelihood would have blown that out with my air compressor. When you say that you found that o-ring at harbor freight tools did you find it in one of their kits that has a hundred rings in it? I'd like to get my hands on some of them just to keep in case I come across one of these carburetors. I have the red box kit from there filled with o-rings I just cannot remember if it goes down that small. I enjoyed your video and I most definitely hit the like and subscribe button. I always figured that's the least I can do when someone shows me how to do something.
david frank I really appreciate your comment along with your support. Most people do not realize the time & effort it takes doing these videos, even the ones that are a little lacking in video quality LOL. I started doing these out of a curiosity & then thought that this may be entertaining and or helpful for family, friends and others. Like you I end up doing repairs for family & friends. I always had an interest in engines & how things worked in general. If YT was around 45 years ago I'd be a genius today LOL. The o ring I used was from that red box from HF. I know it lasted over a year, I do not have that mower any longer. You can buy the o rings on Amazon if you do not have that size any longer in the kit. Thank you again for your support. Hope to hear from you again. Stay well, Joe Z

@@stevenfuchs2548 You're very welcome. Are you sure about the springs. I only did a handful of these carburetors since this video & they all had the spring. Let me know how you made out.

@@papymuzo8122 I have used some carburetors from China, mostly good results. On a couple of the metal carburetors I had to do a little modification. Hope you get your repair done soon. Stay well, Joe Z
How does one get the bottom black bowl off? I have now bought 3 new carburetors from Amazon.ca via China and 2 had the choke butterfly flap stuck open. Cannot close it. And third one I got just today will only close 60% of the way and that is no good as I need full choke to start, hot or cold. My lawn tractor, same carb as yours and same engine would start and stop in 15 seconds and that is it so I assume dirty carb after sitting all winter. I am now thinking of taking the bowl of the new carb and attaching it to my old one as my old carb has both butterfly flaps open and close. Is often most of the problem in the bowl with old gas or the top part? Thanks and great video.
Sorry for the late reply. This was in spam folder. Just push that metal "clamp" that goes around the plastic bowl off its center position. The bowl will come right off. Let me know if this was of help. Stay safe, Joe Z
@@JOEZEP54 Thanks for your reply and I was able to finally get the bowl off and also fix the choke flap that will not close. Someone told me that in shipping sometimes the flap gets locked in. I just had to pull the flap down hard and it came lose and worked perfect. So now I am back in business with a good running engine.
Thanks! I've been fighting a very finicky Techumseh engine for the last 2 years and this is hopefully the silver bullet it needs. I've gone through hell and back I feel like with this mower because a new riding mower is just way too much money. Currently only runs on full throttle. Moving throttle any lower kills it. Taken the bowl off and cleaned it each mowing season, replaced the fuel filter both times, did an oil change, new spark plug, new air filter, and nothing worked. The last step is to replace these O-Rings when they arrive because I know in the 15+ years my family has owned this mower it's never been done and this is the second video I've seen mentioning the O-Ring at the main jet was swollen shut. The only thing else I can even do is replace the gas cap because the rubber seal actually disintegrated into the fuel tank last year but didn't make it run any worse so doubt it was the issue. Now to await their arrival since I didn't want to risk not having the right part by going to Lowes or Home Depot.
TigerAceRay, You're welcome, I am glad this was of help .And thank You for watching and taking the time to comment. Another item you should check is the fuel line. I have learned the "HARD" way LOL. In my area I cannot buy ethanol free gas unless I buy the premix, for 2 cycle engines at 5.94 a quart, yep if you are calculating that's $23.76 a gallon. Back to the fuel line, the ethanol gas will deteriorate the inside of the line causing it to collapse & slowing the flow. It is easy to check when the engine sits over night & is cold just remove the line & have it run into a safe container. If it flows you're ok if it drips' out or has a slow flow change it. TigerAceRay keep me posted on how you you made out, Also I have other videos on my channel that cover many different subjects that may also be of help or interest. *** Thank you for watching I really appreciate your support.*** Again I hope you get to enjoy other videos on my channel as well. Stay safe, Joe Z
@@JOEZEP54 Unfortunately replacing the O-rings didn't fix it as I had hoped. It does run better though but still surges every few seconds. Going to take a look at the linkages and governor next. Did some minor tweaking and it started to get run better but was too dark out. Might be as simple as the spring is stretched out too much, which is possible since it's 15+ years old.
Will Look at the fuel line as well and might as well replace it since it's fairly cheap to replace and that could also well be the issue since all of our gas here is reformulated and has a minimum of 10% ethanol.

@@JOEZEP54 thanks Joe. I do have one question. I purchased the ride on I mentioned above recently. It says Tecumseh on the hood and has a 13hp OV358EA Tecumseh engine. It has 13/86 on the rear fenders and a five speed Spicer rear end. It also has large "Colt Power" sticker on the sides of the hood. The hood and fenders/floor are red plastic. I can't seem to find anything online as to what drive belt I need. I am in New Zealand so it could be something sold here only. It has no headlight and is not a really large ride on. Do you recall ever dealing with one of these? It is from around 2006 and sometimes Castelgarten comes up in my searches. Thanks so much.
@@DigItGardenI would like to help you but I have not come across this mower. I looked up Castelgarten and at their website www.castelgarden.com/int/ you can look up a local dealer that should be able to get you the right belt. If not measure the belt & the size/angle of the V if possible. Let me know if this was of help.
@JOEZEP54 thanks. It is a Spanish made mower, sold in limited quantities through The Warehouse - New Zealand's version of Walmart. Since I asked you, I saw one for sale on trademe - our ebay. I looked at the photos they had posted and under the hood was an ID sticker mine didn't have. Through that, I contacted a company that was able to supply me with a drive belt. It also needs a new solenoid now but I ordered that last night. Thanks for your help though, funny how things come together.
Thank you for this video , i had a couple guys pushing a columbia lawn tractor down my street and then they abandon it in my neighbours driveway , i waited for them to come back and pick it up and they never came back , so at midnight i pushed it in my back yard and finders keepers lol . So i pulled the hood off and seen they had the carb ripped apart and the motor had no labels and i needed to know what motor it was , i knew it was a 490cc 16 hp but no brand name on it and trying to find info on this machine wasnt easy , turns out its a 2008 model and its in amazing shape and im going to get it fixed up and sell it , free to me so any money i spend i know i will get back .

I am now thinking of taking the bowl of the new carb and attaching it to my old one as my old carb has both butterfly flaps open and close. Is often most of the problem in the bowl with old gas or the top part? Thanks and great video.
Sorry for the late reply. This was in spam folder. Just push that metal "clamp" that goes around the plastic bowl off its center position. The bowl will come right off. Let me know if this was of help. Stay safe, Joe Z
@@JOEZEP54 Thanks for your reply and I was able to finally get the bowl off and also fix the choke flap that will not close. Someone told me that in shipping sometimes the flap gets locked in. I just had to pull the flap down hard and it came lose and worked perfect. So now I am back in business with a good running engine.
Hey would you happen to know the part number for that carburetor
Thanks! I've been fighting a very finicky Techumseh engine for the last 2 years and this is hopefully the silver bullet it needs. I've gone through hell and back I feel like with this mower because a new riding mower is just way too much money. Currently only runs on full throttle. Moving throttle any lower kills it. Taken the bowl off and cleaned it each mowing season, replaced the fuel filter both times, did an oil change, new spark plug, new air filter, and nothing worked. The last step is to replace these O-Rings when they arrive because I know in the 15+ years my family has owned this mower it's never been done and this is the second video I've seen mentioning the O-Ring at the main jet was swollen shut. The only thing else I can even do is replace the gas cap because the rubber seal actually disintegrated into the fuel tank last year but didn't make it run any worse so doubt it was the issue. Now to await their arrival since I didn't want to risk not having the right part by going to Lowes or Home Depot.
TigerAceRay, You're welcome, I am glad this was of help .And thank You for watching and taking the time to comment.
Another item you should check is the fuel line. I have learned the "HARD" way LOL. In my area I cannot buy ethanol free gas unless I buy the premix, for 2 cycle engines at 5.94 a quart, yep if you are calculating that's $23.76 a gallon. Back to the fuel line, the ethanol gas will deteriorate the inside of the line causing it to collapse & slowing the flow. It is easy to check when the engine sits over night & is cold just remove the line & have it run into a safe container. If it flows you're ok
if it drips' out or has a slow flow change it.
TigerAceRay keep me posted on how you you made out,

@@JOEZEP54 Unfortunately replacing the O-rings didn't fix it as I had hoped. It does run better though but still surges every few seconds. Going to take a look at the linkages and governor next. Did some minor tweaking and it started to get run better but was too dark out. Might be as simple as the spring is stretched out too much, which is possible since it's 15+ years old.
Will Look at the fuel line as well and might as well replace it since it's fairly cheap to replace and that could also well be the issue since all of our gas here is reformulated and has a minimum of 10% ethanol.
@@tigeraceray2757 Hope this does it for you. Let me know
Very helpful. Thanks

I got one of these today. Cleaned out the float valve and fuel was getting in. That O ring on the tube was not looking like an O ring but melted rubber. Thanks for the tips. Going to pull the carb off this weekend and give it a proper going over at home.

@@JOEZEP54 thanks Joe. I do have one question. I purchased the ride on I mentioned above recently. It says Tecumseh on the hood and has a 13hp OV358EA Tecumseh engine. It has 13/86 on the rear fenders and a five speed Spicer rear end. It also has large "Colt Power" sticker on the sides of the hood. The hood and fenders/floor are red plastic. I can't seem to find anything online as to what drive belt I need. I am in New Zealand so it could be something sold here only. It has no headlight and is not a really large ride on. Do you recall ever dealing with one of these? It is from around 2006 and sometimes Castelgarten comes up in my searches. Thanks so much.
@@DigItGardenI would like to help you but I have not come across this mower. I looked up Castelgarten and at their website www.castelgarden.com/int/ you can look up a local dealer that should be able to get you the right belt. If not measure the belt & the size/angle of the V if possible. Let me know if this was of help.
@JOEZEP54 thanks. It is a Spanish made mower, sold in limited quantities through The Warehouse - New Zealand's version of Walmart. Since I asked you, I saw one for sale on trademe - our ebay. I looked at the photos they had posted and under the hood was an ID sticker mine didn't have. Through that, I contacted a company that was able to supply me with a drive belt. It also needs a new solenoid now but I ordered that last night. Thanks for your help though, funny how things come together.
@@DigItGarden You're welcome. Great detective work! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this video , i had a couple guys pushing a columbia lawn tractor down my street and then they abandon it in my neighbours driveway , i waited for them to come back and pick it up and they never came back , so at midnight i pushed it in my back yard and finders keepers lol . So i pulled the hood off and seen they had the carb ripped apart and the motor had no labels and i needed to know what motor it was , i knew it was a 490cc 16 hp but no brand name on it and trying to find info on this machine wasnt easy , turns out its a 2008 model and its in amazing shape and im going to get it fixed up and sell it , free to me so any money i spend i know i will get back .
You're welcome, I am glad this was of help .And thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. As long as they did not want it any longer that was a great pick, you did not even have to drive or load it. What is that saying,
" if it's free it's for me" LOL.

Paper clips work great also to clean the small holes. Carb looks nice after you clean it.
