I’ve got that same engine/mower bought to Lowes, have had 3 returned & delivered, wish I’d left the thing at Lowes! Everybody i know that has this mower has the exact same problem!! Not over filled with oil either and uses non ethanol gas! Thanks for the video!
I have a huskavarna with a 22 Brigg. It was smoking and spitting oil out of the exhaust. The oil was overfull so I changed but I crossed threaded the oil filter. I cranked it up and it blew all the oil out and quit. I was kinda thrown into a daze by all the smoke and didn't check to see if filter was leaking. Something that I always do. I work on diesel tractor so a farm. Any way when I fixed the filter put more oil she turns over but will not crank. I think I ruined this engine. I already bought another lawn mower just wondering do all think it's done. I see now the carburator was the problem. But I think I burned it when all the oil leaked out.
Thank you for the video. Watched it intently several times , because I have the same problem with my cub cadet. Followed every step you did. My cub is running beautiful now. Thank you Thank you Thank you
Great instructional video. I always learn something. You have no wasted motion in your repair. Every movement is toward accomplishing your goal. Thankyou Sir.
Great video. I got tired of waiting for the oil to drain so I upgraded to the oil vac and just suck it out the dipstick hose...and then change the filter.
i have 2 of these engines and just looking at all the plastics, etc, it is itimidating taking the carb out. Your video and recommendation to take pictures along the way is excellent. Thanks!
brother thank you. I just fixed an auction mower by having to weld a darned deck bracket back on, remount the deck with the parts they left in a box, fired it up and went mowing and she started to smoke and really really smoked when I went into reverse. Figured a seal was bad or something. Stuff running out of the front of it. I even priced a motor just in case. The oil is down. But will go through this test first. The oil seems a little thin to me too, but we'll start here.
Great video. Every movement you make is toward accomplishment of your desired goal. Your a true professional. I enjoy watching, increasing my knowledge. Great job. Thankyou.
Sorry! Back again. I think I like the fact this was done at a time when it was warm and snow free! Also still get a kick that BCers are not the only oil tasters (well outside of us and thoughs weird Alberta oil people!).
I think it is more fun to rebuild the carb, and then have the needle not seat correctly, or a leaking o ring, and that will fill the crank case with gas again, so you can do a 2nd oil change. It is so much fun fixing small engines, that I want to maximize the time I get to spend goofing around. Well, I guess an aftermarket carb is quicker, and if you are working and trying to make money ... but who needs money anyway? Right?!!!
Had same symptoms on a 16.5 opposed twin, however turn out to be bad diaphragm on fuel pump. 10 buck fix on a mower a fella gave me. Gonna change hydro fluid next.
Great video, I just retired from the small engine business and spend my time watching small engine videos, go figure. I started in 1980 and still learn from different fellow mechanics like you. keep up the good work
That is awesome! Yes I also watch a ton of repair videos on things I already know how to do because we never stop learning and picking up new tips and tricks that help. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend.
I just started my own small engine business it's always great to learn new things from others. Hey Clint feel free to drop off all your tools, parts and extra small Engines off here in Michigan I could really use anything I could get. Lol so expensive to start
@Gator that is great. Thanks for watching our channel my friend. Take your time, no need to spend a fortune getting started. Get set up with Rotary, the best parts source. We use quite a few others now after years in the business. Generally Rotary will have your parts there next day or 2. I've never sold any tools, it takes time, been collecting tools since the 1970s. We wish you all the best in your new venture my friend.
I've got the same mower, but someone replaced the engine with a Briggs and Stratton 19.5 twin....apparently the factory engine is infamous for not working well, and the B&S is the go to replacement.
Good info in this video. Why replace everything in the carb if the only problem is a bad needle? Just so you can charge the guy for it? I'd slap a new needle in it and send it on! Most mowers I get with this carb are leaking through.
Thank you.. Not so I can just charge the guy for it. I won't do them half way and risk a customer coming back with a different carburetor issue that I will have to do for free. Great comment my friend Thanks very much for watching and commenting.
Interesting. The Gatorade bottle seems like nice hack. It would have nice to see how bad the engine was smoking before working on it to have a comparison prior to it be fixed.
Long story short I was given a "smoking" snapper riding mower with 500cc Briggs. The feet places aren't even scuffed. Guy had to much money and little time. Oil level, air filter, carb, Head gasket , any ideas , I haven't had a chance to look at it yet , but I feel it's got to be simple fix ✌️😎
I'm not sure where I got them. They don't have a name brand on them. They are called line clamp pliers. You can find them online if not locally. Thanks for watching!
Great job T-Bone, man I can't see how some people let their engine & fuel tanks get that filthy under the hood to the point where you can't even see where a leak is occurring. I have owned a Craftsman YT 3000 made by Husqvarna since 2013 with 800 hours on the B&S 21HP Intek single engine and it still purs like a kitten as I've been truly blessed that it's never blown the head gasket, broken the camshaft compression release, or had a rocker arm stud back out which all were common Intek issues. Everything is still as clean as day one as it only takes a little wiping things down occasionally, using a leaf blower, or an air compressor to blow it off once in awhile, and it can only help to keep all that dirt and grime from ruining everything.
You are correct my friend. A little cleaning and checking over every time it is used goes a long way to making them last. Also keeping the filters and oil changed. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend.
Stop it with the impact guns people. Those are soft aluminum carbs. At 12:35, he said you don't want to crank them down...... Then he goes back around for another slamming session. Nothing on that carb requires an impact gun. Bowl screws, all you need is your weak hand with fingers open and a number 2 screwdriver. That is it guys. If you are normally right handed, use your left to LOWER torque down for the next guy.
Now that was a great how to. If a man wasn't paying attention to his work? You would be getting a basket full of parts and a broken down machine. Nice one here.
Excellent video... As a mechanic it's a tuff call to tear down a problematic machine .. diagnosis, suggest to a customer what is the best course to go about it...with a less than 50/50 chance of getting good quality parts, On Time.
@@RaleysSmallEngines hehe ,this isn't recommended for everyone but I just drained and washed out a plastic tank of stale fuel. How am I gonna get it dried out? Hair dryer pointed at the fill ,and place it outside for about 20-30mins. Dry as a bone.
You could use some cheap oil , run it a few mins to temp and dump that for some synthetic and it'll be fine. most all air cooled require synthetic these days)
My neighbor accidentally put diesel fuel in his rider and it smokes to high heaven is it fixable or does he need to replace the motor, thanks inadvance
Great upload and info as always T bone. Good thing this got caught before washing out the cylinder and causing serious damage. Hope all is well your way!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I watch alot of small engine videos. Although some are very good, Yours was OUT OF THE PARK ! ? How many hours do you think the needle and seat should last ? I have 255 hrs with no problems yet .
Thank you! That is a loaded question my friend. For best results use non ethanol fuel and exercise your equipment thru the winter. I personally have never had a problem with my personal equipment doing what I described.
So the needle and seat caused the engine to hydro lock, it happens. It is a Nikki carburetor, it happens more with this brand than others. Just cleaned one today jyst like it today on a zero turn, it happens.
T-bone strikes again this is the second time this summer you have taught me how to properly diagnosis and fix a problem on my mower! Amazing comprehensive videos but you don’t piss around and say the things that help teach me great content keep up the good work
That Briggs is a terrible design. My 22 year old 17.5 HP Tecumseh, cast iron sleave is an example of a great engine great design. No Carbureator rebuilds needed when you can by a new one for $15.00 and swap the entire assemply in under 10 minutes. That is what I call a great design.
I wouldn't Buy but i would accept a free tractor with one only if brand new without a guy pointing a flame thrower at my junk. 2 cub cadets later( none had a Briggs powerplant) developed oil in the breathers and the present has a head gasket eating disorder. When they make a Titanium head gasket, I would buy a new garden tractor and only after the dealer with my 8 lawyers secure an iron clad contract warranting the engine for 6 million years.
I am trying this. Love doing yard work anf maintenance. Just mot as savy with diagnostics. Have subbbed to the channel. This video is really good. Have pulled the catb and nothing seems wrong, but then again I dont know what tocreslly look for..... Tho, my mower sounds yo be doing exactly what this one was. Cant complain. No issues with motor whatsoever othar than this..... Will complete what you suggested and report back. Just waiting for delivery. But much better than waiting a month in the shop. FL here so will be back to mowing twice a week soon...
My '04 JD with 20hp Intek still runs great, but I did replace the carb about 5 yrs ago. Chinese copy was $30, BS was $90, thats a no-brainer for me. I've rebuilt the deck twice, put a fuel pump on it once, and otherwise just kept the oil and filters changed. It may last forever.
Excellent ,I would replace the plastic oil drain with a 3/8NPT nipple 3"long and an elbow and a 3/8 " pipe plug.Oil changes so much easier then ,no spilled oil!
I've seen many come loose, leak oil and ruin Engines. Not on my watch, all my customers are repeat. I will be the next guy to take it off. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend.
very informative, i been doing some small engines for 20 yrs. gotten more into it last 5 or so yrs. like watching shops teach others not just fly thru it . your remind me of tarrel fixs all, he same very informative. great video yall both have
It's interesting how that mower model had a gas tank that could gravity-feed the carb with no need for the pulse fuel pump, but how when not in use the fuel pump didn't prevent the gas from traveling to the faulty needle valve that caused the near hydro-lock and smoky condition. Of course, for that model, even with the fuel pump, an inline fuel shut-off value is helpful. But, conversely, I have zero-turn mower with that same V-twin Briggs with the Nikki two-barrel carb where the gas tank is in front and lower, so it cannot possibly gravity-feed to the carb when not in use, even if the fuel pump were capable of running interference (which you seemed to have proved that one cannot), so I don't bother to put an inline fuel shut-off on my unit. Otherwise, you did seem to say that the anti-backfire fuel solenoid cannot prevent a hydro-lock condition on a gravity-fed fuel system that has a faulty needle valve or faulty float, and I agree with you that the fuel solenoid probably can give many a false sense of security in seeming to prevent a hydro lock condition and/or fuel in the oil, i.e., a fuel shut-off is still in order to prevent that.
You are correct my friend. Also check the fuel pump pulse line for fuel. Sometimes the fuel pump is the issue. Fuel can still flow thru a fuel pump gravity feeding.
What errand can possibly be more important Mrs T! You can’t leave your man filming from more than 100yards away, 🤣🤣 He did an OK job but he ain’t no camera guy. Love the music in the video, always awesome. Baby came dancing in from the kitchen 🤣🤣. We are stealth camping tonight, you’re right brother. You did a great repair and a great video once again brother. WHAT A MESS! I commented too soon, who is cleaning that up, see what happens when you start doing stuff on your own!!! ☹️
I told Mrs T you would be having a fit because she wasn't filming, she cracked up when she read your comment. Glad we got Baby dancing Lol. Thanks as always my friend.
Thanks for that. It clearly wasn't smoking after the repair but I'm still not sure precisely what it was that fixed it. I presume it was oil burning because fuel could be smelled in the oil. However I don't know how this relates to working on the carburetor. I'd be grateful for an answer from anyone.
I have been watching a lot of your videos, they are , informative, educational, and entertaining. I have done a few of the same things you do as well, I like to watch how others will do the same job. Most times I find a few short cuts, and sometimes I think I might be able to help others. Overall, I enjoy watching others. T bone, you do very good work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and abilities with others. Even if someone is afraid to jump in the middle of a job that looks difficult , they can still learn and listen to a repair shop, and can get sn idea if that shop knows what to do, or should go some place else. That Sir is a great help as well. 😊
"Yall hold on" finally small engine mechanic quality video. I dont need a million words to describe how to take the cover off of a briggs engine haha let's just get to the meat and potatoes here.
Great video. I own a Honda HT-R 3009 thats about 36 years old, still starts and runs good, however it smokes a lot but once it warms up it the smoking stops. Around my area almost all the small engine repair masters have retired.
Clean your bench before you open the carb. You said , Labor isn’t cheap I fix mowers for $30 they pay for parts. Life is short . Stop taking advantage of your customers. You clearly said. Easy easy easy . Where you located? How much for the exmark in the background
I have this same engine in my mower; about 10 years old now. It runs very well and is tough as nails! After seeing what it takes to clean the carburetor and make repairs, I won’t spending my time are monies making repairs! I will junk it and be done with it. I got my monies worth out of it. I will purchase a new one.
for 8 bucks you can get a bowl kit and 16$ for the 2bbl kit rebuild the carb . it takes 20 minutes to rebuild the B&S 2bbl . The Price of a China 2bbl is 25$ .

Fixing to do this on a mower i aquired just like this one, thank you especially the gasket explaination!
It's interesting how that mower model had a gas tank that could gravity-feed the carb with no need for the pulse fuel pump, but how when not in use the fuel pump didn't prevent the gas from traveling to the faulty needle valve that caused the near hydro-lock and smoky condition. Of course, for that model, even with the fuel pump, an inline fuel shut-off value is helpful. But, conversely, I have zero-turn mower with that same V-twin Briggs with the Nikki two-barrel carb where the gas tank is in front and lower, so it cannot possibly gravity-feed to the carb when not in use, even if the fuel pump were capable of running interference (which you seemed to have proved that one cannot), so I don't bother to put an inline fuel shut-off on my unit. Otherwise, you did seem to say that the anti-backfire fuel solenoid cannot prevent a hydro-lock condition on a gravity-fed fuel system that has a faulty needle valve or faulty float, and I agree with you that the fuel solenoid probably can give many a false sense of security in seeming to prevent a hydro lock condition and/or fuel in the oil, i.e., a fuel shut-off is still in order to prevent that.
You are correct my friend. Also check the fuel pump pulse line for fuel. Sometimes the fuel pump is the issue. Fuel can still flow thru a fuel pump gravity feeding.
what is the name of the air pressure tool you used to see if the carb was leaking? please advise. Thank you

What errand can possibly be more important Mrs T! You can’t leave your man filming from more than 100yards away, 🤣🤣 He did an OK job but he ain’t no camera guy. Love the music in the video, always awesome. Baby came dancing in from the kitchen 🤣🤣. We are stealth camping tonight, you’re right brother. You did a great repair and a great video once again brother. WHAT A MESS! I commented too soon, who is cleaning that up, see what happens when you start doing stuff on your own!!! ☹️
I told Mrs T you would be having a fit because she wasn't filming, she cracked up when she read your comment. Glad we got Baby dancing Lol. Thanks as always my friend.
Thanks for that. It clearly wasn't smoking after the repair but I'm still not sure precisely what it was that fixed it. I presume it was oil burning because fuel could be smelled in the oil. However I don't know how this relates to working on the carburetor. I'd be grateful for an answer from anyone.
The carburetor was leaking fuel into crankcase making it over full. Over full crankcase = smoking. Leaking carburetor was what caused it.

Thank you.
What would you recommend for cleaning my dirty cylinder fins?
Remove the top engine cover and use a pressure washer.
Thank You for your knowledge and time, greetings, from Puerto Rico..
Hello Puerto Rico!! Thanks for watching my friend
Wow nice video, thanks for sharing 😍
Thanks for watching my friend.
I have been watching a lot of your videos, they are , informative, educational, and entertaining. I have done a few of the same things you do as well, I like to watch how others will do the same job. Most times I find a few short cuts, and sometimes I think I might be able to help others. Overall, I enjoy watching others. T bone, you do very good work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and abilities with others. Even if someone is afraid to jump in the middle of a job that looks difficult , they can still learn and listen to a repair shop, and can get sn idea if that shop knows what to do, or should go some place else. That Sir is a great help as well. 😊
"Yall hold on" finally small engine mechanic quality video. I dont need a million words to describe how to take the cover off of a briggs engine haha let's just get to the meat and potatoes here.
Thanks brother, we appreciate that.
This guy MUST be from British Columbia!!! Only people I know who tastes the oil!
😆 I'm just an ol country boy from South Carolina
@@RaleysSmallEngines me too, but i am from Nriitish Columbia. An old bush monkey swinging from tree to tree
You're the goods brother, thanks for making these videos!
Great video. I own a Honda HT-R 3009 thats about 36 years old, still starts and runs good, however it smokes a lot but once it warms up it the smoking stops. Around my area almost all the small engine repair masters have retired.
Great video, you have an excellent ability to describe what you are doing. Thanks
Thank you sir
I am so glad that you got that doohickeyhictcheymabob put back together brother! Great video as always and please keep them coming!
Heck yeah !! It was Supercalafrajalistick Lol Thanks so much Detective.
Clean your bench before you open the carb.
You said , Labor isn’t cheap
I fix mowers for $30 they pay for parts.
Life is short . Stop taking advantage of your customers. You clearly said. Easy easy easy .
Where you located?
How much for the exmark in the background
I have this same engine in my mower; about 10 years old now. It runs very well and is tough as nails! After seeing what it takes to clean the carburetor and make repairs, I won’t spending my time are monies making repairs! I will junk it and be done with it. I got my monies worth out of it. I will purchase a new one.
I can understand that. Glad yours it doing good. Thanks for watching my friend.
Those of us trying to make a living flipping equipment really appreciate your donations! ;-)
Love the Gatorade bottle trick. Can’t believe I missed that the first time I watched this one
for 8 bucks you can get a bowl kit and 16$ for the 2bbl kit rebuild the carb . it takes 20 minutes to rebuild the B&S 2bbl . The Price of a China 2bbl is 25$ .
Al least take an old paint brush and BRUSH off the dirt/oil/grit before pulling the carb. Cost is very low guys....... Only takes a second or three.
I hate those dam oil drain valves, they are nothing but trouble! Another awesome video brother!
Yes they are and they always get loose where they screw into the engine block and leak. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend.
Nice work. Some people do not need, nice equipment the way they take care of it. ( BUT ) we would have nothing to work on 🤢
Yes, it keeps us busy. Thanks for watching my friend.
