👍👍👍 like the idea of using the bottle to catch the oil and filter. Thank you
Awesome, thanks
Great work 👍
Thank you
Definitely thumbs up 👍 👍thank you for the video
Thanks for watching!
Nikki is probably the lowest bidder to the OEM's. Since Stanley Black and Decker now owns MTD, perhaps things will change. Thanks, great video as always!
I agree. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend
Thank you so much for this video. I ended up doing exactly what you did to my nikki carb and it worked. Adjusted the float and replaced the seals.
Awesome Zach!! Great job, and thanks for commenting my friend
I have a tractor with an old Walbro, I'll never change it, just repair when needed.
I know your gonna make that work !!!
Gonna try
Drill the jet out to 69 bit
Will work fine 😊
Great video as usual!
Thank you
I believe Taryl did the carb swap like you just did...love your channel👍
I think he did it on a Briggs though. I've got one on a Briggs swap also. Thank you for watching and commenting my friend
Love the carb swap though I’d just switch main jets and try that
Awesome attempt, and good idea to begin with. My mower has a Kohler 7000 series, and I haven't had an issue like that, yet. The only issue I had, was I wasn't using the cut off like I should have, and it started lightly surging from the ethanol in the fuel. I started using the cut off when I wasn't using it, and it seemed to have stopped the surging.
lot of the time just higher octane real fuel will clear up the surges or some B12 or seafoam in tank
Well for cryin' in the mud! This was a great video T-Bone. Keep up the awesome work.
😆 Thank you
Your the best
First time finding your channel, brilliant !! Instant sub !! Working on one of these as we speak and this is extremely educational. Thank you sir !!
Thank you.
Another great video T-bone!! I had 3 nikki kits where the float bottomed out so the needle was not seating!! Ding Dang Nikki crap!! I had to heat up the float also.
Thank you
that's a great looking shirt!
Thank you, you're the first one to mention it. 😆
Those carbs will be easier to repair after you have done several thousand. I was so hoping the Briggs carb would work---bummer. Thanks for the videos.
Yep, I was hopeful. I will get another and make it work. Yep gonna video it. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend
It will work just drill out the jet and increase the amount of fuel 😊
It took me 5 tries but now I know what to do, just keep trying until you get it
Every time he says "identical" , I think of the prosecutor in the movie "My Cousin Vinny". Great work.
🤣 🤣
Wesnesday here
Another genius video, T bone! You are the man!
I appreciate that
Great video ol-boy. When will oem realize Nikki is not the way to go
Thanks brother. Yep Nikki is crap
You can't say you didn't at least try T-Bone, you'll figure out a way to get it done next time. 👍
Nice video and hey Mrs T-Bone!! 👋
Thanks brother
Anytime bud
excellent video T-Bone 👌👍
Thank you
You must go to same Doctor I do.
Tells me to stay away from work 😂.
🤣 🤣 🤣
I’m 72 and my DR said not to quit smoking
Love my kohler magnum ,one of the few small engines that can run vertically or horizontally.
That extension was definitely long enough T-Bone 🤣🤣🤣. Amazing to see your subscribers flying up now, well done brother. All that gas in the intake! crazy. I tried it before, I now have 1 box with x2 carburettor parts in it 🤣🤣🤣 . She does say you have sausages for fingers 🤣🤣🤣. She wants to manicure your nails too🤣🤣. Mrs T ain’t cleaning that mess up either!! We are watching you! you knew that was going to pour out! Get a bucket next time,,, man alive! Oh No!! all that and it didn’t work! Golllly! What an enjoyable video brother, love ❤️ to Mrs T
I'm always making a mess Lol. Glad you are building your stock of carb parts, bout time LOL Thanks so much for watching my friend.
Another great one and as always thanks for all the tips, like oil filter, swapping out parts from carbs an making all seem effortless. Thank you and keep them coming my friend.
Thank you
I’ll be watching for that next vid on the Briggs to kohler carb I’d like to see what the difference is and y it wouldn’t work love the videos thanks for the information
Love all your videos T-Bone! I've learned a ton from you! Keepem coming man!
Thanks! Will do!
Love your style brother! Just subbed!
Awesome thank you
It's on Sunday afternoon, I'm not having a good day
I was pulling for you brother. Your really on to something there if you can lean it out a little bite
Thank you. I'm gonna try again when I have a customer that can give me some more time.
Hey T-Bone! Love your videos. You are fun to watch! That lawn tractor is in pretty bad shape for so few of hours. They must keep it outside? Flywheel and muffler are very rusty!! Awful! If only people took better care of their equipment!
Glad you enjoy watching, thank you so much my friend for watching and commenting.
Tbone nice to see you thinking outside the box and trying that B&S carb. Those Nikki carbs are the worst and reassembly with aftermarket gaskets rarely works OEM is the only way to go on these carbs. Yep at EP we do the pressure test first then the bench test similar to what you showed for 10 minutes to ensure no flooding. Just a thought: if you JB Welded the B&S main jet and drilled to the same size as the Nikki do you think it would work?
Thank you. I'm sure I will get another one to try again. JB Weld hmm maybe.
..awesome DIY video T-Bone.....enjoyed all of it....could you have maybe swapped the jets from the old Nikki into the new B&S?... 🙂
Thank you. I wish I could have but they won't fit. I'm gonna try again when I have a customer who can give me more time on it. That machine had already been here 3 weeks, now we are 4 weeks behind on repairs.
I replaced the Nikki carb with a walbro carb and stopped the surging.
If it didnt run rich from the fuel it was getting in there it almost work , and i never knew the float on the nikki carb had that slope like that overtime, ill have to try that method with the heat gun when i work on a nikki again .
I have a tiller that wouldn’t run because it was used with ethanol fuel, corrosion in the carb. Cleaned the carb helped but then it was surging. I fixed it by adjusting the timing advance ( governor )that is connected to the carb. It starts on first pull now and runs smooth.
The governor controls the carburetor not the timing.
30 hard hours… dang
Hello T-Bone. You would think after the Kohler KT17, Kohler Courage fiasco’s that Kohler would step up and take the opportunity to really up their game and build outstanding engines again like the old K series cast iron Kohlers were. Just Saying!!! Great Video T-Bone.
Maybe Kohler should stick to making Kitchen Faucets LOL
@@RaleysSmallEngines Sad But True.
Looks like a Briggs Intek and a Kohler Courage had a baby together. I don’t understand why Kohler decided to make another bucket engine and why they used a Nikki carb.
Exactly
I picked up a 2012 Ariens rider...gas in the crankcase...Nikki junk, replaced it with Amazon carb...surges now at idle, ordered my micro drills to jet it out....UPDATE: Turns out the bad idle was from the over sized paper fuel filter i installed...replaced it with stock B&S filter, runs like a champ... but like you said it's just a screen not a filter, I want to try the one you recommend if I can find the part number again:-)
My craftsman didn’t even have 20 hours on it when camshaft compression release broke
I bought this lawn mower from someone and doing a carb replacement but the previous person lost the choke lever do you know the part number for that
I use an engraver to write the date, mileage, hours on my filters, have for years.
For the carburetor, if you don't try, you won't know. We all learned, while a Briggs carburetor may fit a Kohler, it may not work. Maybe another engine (bigger) it may work.
I got the same mower. Since day one it'll surge on choke and low idle, but only on cold starts. Once warmed up, it runs smoothly. Any ideas? Could this be normal?
Not normal, but they have these engines running so lean it causes surging. The jets will need to be opened up to fix it.
Do you buy the fuel filters in bulk? How much do they normally cost I found it for $8? Seems high?
We buy at wholesale prices because we are a dealer. Our retail is $8.01 for a 10352 fuel filter
My sons d110 fuel tank under seat. Not gravity fed. How to drain the tank? Is there an easy way?
Disconnect the fuel line at the fuel pump and hold it down below the frame. Hope that helps you
@@RaleysSmallEngines thank so much for responding. I have recently started watching ALL of your videos. Man you are awesome. Teaching me a lot.
I knew nothing about small engines before watching you. With the price of mowers nowadays a fella gotta learn this stuff!
Your videos are the best out there.
He got the mower used for free. Someone had put a Chinese carb on it because it was surging. So I wanted to drain fuel and check lines pump etc as you do and prolly have to put a real carb I. It also.
Small amount of white smoke from exhaust but not a fog Bank like you have shown with blown head gaskets. Not sure about that. But thankfully you have videos on changing those as well!
Thanks so much!!
When you say “Identical “ did you get that from “My Cousin Vinny?”
LOL Love that movie. It's a trick question, Chevy didn't make a 327 in 1955, it didn't come out until '62 and it wasn't offered in the BelAir until '64, however the correct ignition timing would be 4deg. BTDC
lol sounds like you’ve got it memorized
If Mr customer had gotten it started the engine would have been totally smoked. But my bet is hydrolocked on gas. May have blown the head gasket even so.
Shure it will....
😆
I have had to try most every scenario being financially Short.....This is a true story I put the exhaust on Johnny Cash's one piece at time Cadillac... I worked in Albertville Alabama 😎 Sand MTN muffler... that's why I say sure too most things...My name is Scotty this is my late Mother's phone... Sentiment....
Awesome
A Niki carb 😢😮
🤣
@@RaleysSmallEngines the thing is what is going wrong with the Briggs and Stratton carburetor at the factory quality assurance drop the ball on checking out the Holes in the fuel delivery.system .on this carburetor 🤬😡😡🤬 My thoughts are it was made in China 😭😭
How on earth do you get any work done? Mrs. T, knows your way too well & how to push buttons !
😆 🤣
It's a woman thing, just when you think you got them figured out.
180 degrees the other way
😆
The first run of the Craftsman Turn Tight Series 2019 to 2021 T240 T260 T310 no one could touch not john deere not Husqvarna not simplicity none of them..they had the have the Kohler 7000 Series engines they are designed after the Kohler command commercial Pro Engine..3 year unlimited hours warranty the tractors I mention are built like little tanks
I call the nikki carb, a stinki carb
😂😄
I'm really enjoying your lessons. I have a Nikki carb problem for flooding. Have a carb kit on order to replace the oring, needle, and anything else. My question is with the cylinder flooding and gas in the oil, wouldn't the valves also have gas mixed in it?
Pull your feet back before firing it up
30 hours ain’t brand new on a throw away box store mower champ.
these Kohler Courage and newer Kohler 5400 and 7000 series engines aren't that great as the only better engine Kohler made is their Command single cylinder
Yes, command was a good one. My favorite engine is Kawasaki. Kohler need to stick to kitchen faucets, should have said that in video 🤣
Those carbs are junk and they must give them to manufacturers to sale carb kits
Unreal folks
Yes, agreed my friend
