I love how the world's smallest ride on mower is on the heavy duty channel
You should check out a ride king they made the from the 60s to the early 2000s it's 28 to 30 inch deck and is three wheel drive one wheel in the front which is attached to the steering wheel and it's also the drive wheel driven by a single chain so it's technically a zero turn and it's a vertical shaft just like a push mower and the engine is basically in between your legs and you sit one it at the same time! They are actually awesome for the 50 years they made them they pretty much never changed designs too I actually own one for my lawn mowing business the last year they ever made them and it basically replaces the push mower and any reason I need one since they turn so tight and take up the same space on my trailer too! I can use it in smaller areas than a push mower even and I can get it inside fenced off yards with tiny gates! Best 900 bucks I ever spent
ATF also works good repairing flat tires on riding mowers.
@@SKC640 It's like a Young Buggy with a mower deck!
"I'm a dentist, and a nurse, and a doctor, and a mechanic, and a plumber, and an electrician..."
Don't forget "TH-camr". haha
Johnny sins ain’t got nothing on him
Nothing counts as expert besides TH-camr
Well, when he was dating her, he probably wasn't a TH-camr. Otherwise she would have been a groupie, nurse! "Oh, you're Filthy Rich?"
Who else works on everything from rock trucks to excavator, but is watching the smallest lawn mower get a carb clean
Appreciate the views guys. Hopefully this helps a new homeowner that just got their first "tractor" (Aaron)
Same. Fix everything and everything, plc, hydraulics, pneumatics. But fixing is fixing!
letsdig18 needs to add his "2 cents worth" in here..... :-)
I think most people that watch this channel are the extreme end of the industrial gearhead mechanic type.
I still watch stuff like this though because guys like Rich always bring something to the table that I've never seen before. I had no clue they make mowers with the mower deck guard interlocked.
If you ain't filthy, you ain't rich
If you're not learning, you're falling behind
I work everything from small diesel all the way to airliners, and I'm still here watching Rich, because Rich is great haha.
DeBoss used to play a carburetor in the high school marching band. He was quite good at it
Heavy duty content if youre a cameraman :-P
Gah, i suppose it cant all be terragators and v16 detroits
IIRC the distinction they laid out was that DGHD was for off-road stuff, so here we are
Anything that isn't a car or a pickup truck. After all, he does work on big trucks (on road) on DGHD.
Besides, it was the cameraman/editor's non-running mower!
I don’t know why I’m here. I know how a carburetor works and I know how to fix lawnmowers. I actually should be fixing a free whipper snipper that was given to me right now, but yet here I am watching rich work on a lawnmower. 😂 we often times will dip our carbs in Chem-dip. It works good at getting crud off.
Keep making videos like this. I have stopped watching a lot of other channels because they are beyond reality. You still see your viewers as people and not as dollar signs.
14:03 it's flammable and dangerous says the man who built a Cummins powered flame thrower 😆
😆
It's like that meme where the teacher says something and all the students are staring back at one student. Only the student in this case is Peg aka @Ziptiesnbiasplies.
Everything wrong with a Briggs and Stratton 5 hp engine
Actually it was 10or 12hp engine...
And it's a China engine made for MTD not a Briggs
#1 issue is always the operator :))
So when are planning to put the turbo charger on it and give it a p pump injection system 😂🤣😁😂🤣😂🤣😂🤯✌👍🏻🙊🤭🍀
I know at the beginning of this video he says this is basically a "throw-away mower", but it's currently selling for $1899 at Home Depot, $2200.00 at Walmart and $2350 at Lowes.....too valuable to not take good care of and properly maintain. I need mine to LAST, so I'll be saving this vid to my Favorites. It's a great, comprehensive troubleshooting and maintenance video for the Troy-Bilt TR30-R!
I bought mine at Lowe’s sold as a craftsman,,,Mtd makes them and has for quite some time.They were having a special sale on it and I had some kind of promotional coupon type deal they had given me and I believe I bought the thing for right around $980 roughly plus tax of course and then they gave me six months same as cash as well with no interest or financing charges so in my mind I reckon I got a pretty good deal on it .I would have preferred a different model however we have a brick wall around our property with brick gateways and this is able to fit through them nicely we have an adjacent second property next-door to us so I can get on this mower and drive through the gateways in between the two properties which makes this little thing worth it’s weight in gold,,,it runs all right it’s a little finicky at times when it comes to engaging the deck I almost have to kind of man handle the engagement lever at times,,,I probably need to get down in there and clean out the deck area again real good. I’m thinking I’m going to have to redo the piece for the steering in the front . I bought a kit off of Amazon for that job,,,there’s videos on TH-cam to show how to replace the little steering bar when it goes bad. There’s two little rubber grommets under the seat that the seat kinda rides on I suppose it helps with vibration and adds a little cushioning effect,,, The grommet on the right side fell out and I’ve never been able to find it and I had trouble locating one to buy so I took small diameter rubber hose about 2 inches long or so and bundled three of them and then duct tape them and then wired them into place that seems to work really good I just had to get the thickness to match the one on the other side so far so good.I’m 5‘10“ tall and 340 pounds and I am amazed that this tractor offers me A little more comfort than I ever thought it would that big high back seat is quite comfortable how ever sometimes I find myself stretching my legs out from time to time if I’m on it for a while other than that it works fairly well. I have to remind myself to not try and get close to anything while mowing I’ve noticed those back wheels will catch on things I gotta remind myself to just trim with the string trimmer or the push mower .I disconnected the wire for the reverse sensor switch so I can keep mowing in reverse although sometimes it doesn’t always work most of the time it does however there are times when it doesn’t not sure why. I did have to replace the ignition switch but I found some on both eBay and Amazon pretty straightforward and easy to install a new one I watched videos on TH-cam about that also. I had trouble locating the exact battery however I have a Viking Harbor freight tools power pack engine starter/jumper that is very compact and portable so I use that instead I have a few things I start with that little power pack and it works really good. I wonder how long these little tractors will last us? I wonder how these little tractors will last us? I hope a good long while, I change the oil twice a year early spring and early fall.👍😊
If there ever was a "throw away" mower, it would be my MTD Yardman 46" rider that I bought from Home Depot for $1099 (USD) in 2005. I maintain it by the book and it shows! Deck is 95% rust free and the V-Twin starts after about 5sec of cranking after taking it out of Winter storage. Except for a few belt replacements, it has been trouble free. I figure it will be good for another 20yrs. I am on a fixed income and CAN'T afford a new one, so this one has to be a KEEPER! Btw, I run 10% ethanol gas MOST of the time, but run "REAL GAS" through it occasionally ! CHEERS...
I bought the Murray version 9 years ago from Walmart for $800 bucks after going through two front engine riders over 10 years.
This little "throwaway " won't die! I keep the oil and the filters changed and have had to replace one tire and one drive belt. And I like my half acre of lawn cut high, so I'm easy on the blade.
This video saved me a lot of diagnosis last year when my mower wouldn't start. That cheap side chute popped off the safety switch. I replaced it with a mulch cover.
You need to reclean that carb. Idle circuit is still dirty. That's why at low speed engine is 'hunting ' for fuel.
I got the same mower for free!! Found on the side of the road in the garbage. The same switch got me too! A carb and battery got it running
also adjust the valves OHV engines need the valves adjusted about once a year
Here we go this one’s gonna be a hit lol The average suburban homeowner is known to have a complete and total meltdown if their lawnmower won’t start and their grass gets over 3 inches tall. Actually I believe to the average homeowner that there is truly nothing in the world scarier than not being able to mow their lawn on time 😂
HOAs are sometimes the worst when it comes to personal lawn care.
Really like the wash trick with the vicegrips that will come on handy. Great simple video with some handy troubleshooting.
Buy new gaskets? Nah get me a cereal box, some grease and my Buck knife.
It needs a cummins swap.
That solinoid is a "back fire prevention". Stops fuel from flowing into the engine. Typically seen on motors that run wide open all the time.
Like beetles and their Solex carbs...
They started showing up on OHV engines. Most old flatheads didn't seem to have that issue.
Please explain more, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this issue. I mostly mess with old flathead Wisconsin engines with updraft style carbs and diesels.
@@carsonhammond6204 The engine is stopped by grounding the coil and killing spark, it worked fine on flatheads, but on OHV engines fuel would be drawn into the cylinder and pushed out into the exhaust while the engine coasted to a stop. It would combust creating a backfire. so they put the anti afterfire solenoids on to shut off fuel flow when the key is turned off. The solenoids are usually found on any OHV riding mower engine, wether single or V-twin. For the most part you don't see them on smaller engines,
@@pfun41 when they fail you just bend the needle over and shove it into the solenoid. Then every time you shut it down you get a backfire so loud it pisses the neighbors off lol.
Isn’t «not running» just an excuse for «lets put a diesel in it»?
5.9 Cummins swap time
0.59 Cummins?
Fixed many non running small engines by just cleaning the carb. Good video!
I have an old couch in the garage I thought about adding an engine to and making it a lawn mower, road grater, and a snow plow. While keeping it looking like a stock couch and coffee table.
I sincerely appreciate this video. I don’t have a dad or dad type people in my life, and I really needed an in-depth explanation of this specific mower to make sure I am servicing it properly. You made this totally possible for me. Thank you.
The only complicated part of this mower is the 5 safety interlock switches, SEAT, PTO, REVERSE, BRAKE, and DISCHARGE COVER. The BRAKE and the PTO can prevent the mower from cranking, the SEAT, REVERSE, and DISCHARGE COVER will kill the mower ignition. If the mower won't crank it's probably because the brake isn't depressed the blade is engaged, or one the two switches in not engaged or bad. If it cranks buy won't start it's probably because it's in reverse, the discharge cover is displaced, your not on the seat, or one of these 3 switches is bad or not engaged.
A few years ago I heard of a bloke who was mowing with his young child in his arms, they hit a bump the child slipped out of his arms and the dad ran over the child's foot cutting it off, Dad had to live with disabling his son etc, please don't ride with a child on your lap whilst mowing, not a wise suggestion to make.
Instead of destroying the linkage you could simply remove the governor linkage and remove the carb easily.
"It's hard to find the battery if it isn't with the machine." -Deboss Garage 2021
I like how you try to wear the gloves but just can't sometimes
Loved every minute of this! Takes me back to when I was a kid and my dad teaching me how engine's work and the simple things to check when they don't work.
Safety around gas is not taken serious enough on some of the small engine repairs for beginners in engine fuel repairs. Thank you!
A video for the rest of us lol. Always something to learn whether it’s a Terragator or a tiny little MTD, keep it up guys.
You're a mechanic, a nurse, a doctor, a chef, a cleaner, a dishwasher........you're married, right? Honeydo list
Excellent video. So if your a doctor, nurse i guess the bed pan is the oil pan? The heart is a fuel pump the tires are the feet and the headlights are the eyes. So what equates to the battery i think i need to charge mine is running a little low.
Finally got my TroyBilt 30B running... THANK YOU ! I have subscribed to your excellent channel.
Q tip with Brazo On a drill works Amazing for cleaning Seat up
Awesome idea, thanks!
99.9% of the problems with this mower start with the deck kill switch. People use the deck as a step which makes the plastic flex and the switch jumps the slot. I sold enough of these mowers at Lowe's I would educate the owners about that switch. This is a great small mower for the price. The Briggs engines never had a problem the carbs would always need cleaning because people don't want to spend a few dollars on Sta-Bil. All fuels will lacquer the needle valve in a carb if it sits long enough.
50/50 it's either the float valve is stuck or the venturi tube going up the middle is clogged.
In the winter, use the mower battery in the snow blower to keep it charged. That way you only have to buy one battery, and you keep it running longer.
I did spend a month total of my life watching Mustie1 videos, yet halfway through this one, I learned twice as much. Thank you, Rich!
I would be careful recommending WD40 as a lubricant
It's ok as a lubricant in some situations to some extent, but I've had it destroy plastic gear mechanisms so be very careful where you spray it!
It is not designed as a lubricant! Even though common theory says that it's basically a mixture of fish oil and kerosene mainly. But it's mainly a solvent that leaves a little oily residue behind. You have to be careful with solvents like I said I destroyed the cup holder mechanism in my car because I was going around spraying every moving joint on the whole thing with WD40. I think it was because it used plastic gears but I'm not 100% sure.
I would recommend using any kind of lubricant that is designed and advertised as a lubricant. Like spray lubricant, tubs of grease, etc. WD40 was invented to prevent rust forming for long term metal storage for missiles sitting in silos for decades. And it's great on rust. And yes it has some lubricating abilities, but you better make sure the things you lube with it are metal. And it won't last that long compared to an actual lube since it's a pretty light oil. I love WD40, I spray it on all my rusty junk and on bolts I'm taking out and to help wipe and clean down metal. I just don't use it as a lube. And I try to avoid getting it on plastic after it destroyed that mechanism of mine.
I’ve never had a nurse blow me to check anything… I need to find that hospital!🤣
So glad that I found this video. I have the identical lawn mower. I learned so much about how to trouble shoot the mower with this video. Thanks a bunch!
Try Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) in leaking tires it really works. huge tip is to add Marvel Mystery Oil to gas it's very stabilizing to the fuel when storing and adds power and counteracts Ethanol.
I have a Troy Bilt 30" tractor that wouldnt start soon after I added gas. Changed the spark plus, removed the gas, added non ethenol gas, tried using starting fluid several times and it still wouldnt start. I don't have a trailer to take the tractor to my repair guy so I kept trying and found this video covered the air intake and it started for a few seconds and stopped, tried it a few more times with a piece of cardboard and lo and behold it started and ran for several minutes, halleluhia.
With all of the videos I had previously watched to repair my other mowers, snow throwers and otherproblem with my tractor I have never seen (or didn't pay attention to) this tip. Thanks for all the good information. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the great video, just subscribed!
I’m also a nurse / doctor but mainly because I’m sorry mechanic so I usually end up injuring myself trying to fix stuff! My sister’s an actual nurse and they’re insane… no way they get paid enough!🤪
Thanks a bunch!!!!! You helped a guy who knows nothing about small engines and got me to clean a carb and get the damn TB30 going again. Greatly appreciate it!!!! To the EX GF. Suck it!!!! He’s a great doctor!!
Shell premium gas has no ethanol in it. I have used it in my snowblower last 3 yrs . I never drain the tank. No problems
Since ethanol Is aquaphillous and gas is aquaphobic, you can use water to separate the 2. One rises above the other and makes a liquid sandwich.
With the amount of gas I use to mow every year 93 octane is a no brainer
There are also gas stations around that sell non ethanol gas. I have two within 5 miles of my home. It is more expensive than regular fuel but much cheaper than buying skill fuel at the hardware store.
You can also buy cans of race fuel from karting suppliers, or motorsports shops if you want big cans of race fuel.
@@zarb88 we do this with the gas in our 49 F1. It’s more expensive, but worth it to not have the headaches. It’s usually for boating applications.
State side the majority of the pump fuel has 10% Ethanol, that can mess up the small seasonal engines too. What I have discovered thanks to a friend from where I retired, he said I should be using what is called Marine/RV fuel. It is what has been called pure gas, as in NO Ethanol. Ever since I have been using it I haven't been draining the gas out of the tanks of my snow blower or lawn mower. I'll fill it up the last time I use it for the season and in the last at least 8 to 10 years have not had one issue getting the engine started at the beginning of the next season. Yes it is more expensive but for the average home owner, it is well worth it.
Can’t beat free. I love free shit since if it’s trash you just put it in the street and someone else like you will grab it to fix or scrapers will take it.
In the land of the 3 letter organizations the fuel has 10% ethanol in all grades of fuel.
There's an important jet I did not see you clean and it's hidden as part of the idle screw stop. It's plastic and pops out for easy cleaning. This will cause rpm surging/hunting at low rpm. I think I noticed this hunting in your final run but in this case could simply be because it didn't run long enough to warm up at all.
Only have to run premium fuel on the last tank.
My grandmother has one of these and over the last couple years I've been having to mow for her. They work pretty good for what they are it definitely has its pros/cons though. I find its a weird seating position for myself and the F....N....R shifter is an awkward spot. But you get what you pay for. Its definitely not like a regular ride on but for the price it beats using a push mower on big yards !
You missed pointing out the need to clean the emulsion tube vent holes. If the tiny holes that run up the side of the emulsion tube are plugged, the fuel doesn't mix well with the air and the engine won't run well. Also, there is an air bleed orifice at the top of the carb that can get plugged and cause poor running too.
First thing I done on my mower was unhook all the lawyer switches so I can mow
Needs a snowmobile 2 stroke
More common on these new mowers is the crankcase vacuum operated fuel pumps. They diaphragms go and the gaskets or hoses that connect them to the crank case. I think that one is a gravity feed though. Don't see that often. Those electric fuel shut offs are supposed to eliminate backfires in the muffler after the mower is turned off.
Thanks for staying up late to get the job done and showing us all 'how to' the right way 👍 Much respect 😎👏🔥
I own a troybilt tb30r, (Basically same mower) . I had same problem and this video gets a 5 of 5 stars for me because it's very mindful and thorough. The only negative was my manual advises against pressure washing. Other than that, He got my mower running. Thanks !
On pressure washing use the larger nozzles for less pressure. You will be fine with it. Pressure washed mine today.😊
I’ve also worked on mowers and I’ve learned that blowing air through the fuel inlet can blow out a little tiny rubber gasket inside for the needle. I’ve learned to blow air from the inside like he did in the video. If you blow it the other way like where the fuel line goes it can blow out the gasket and the needle will never seat and then you will have a flooding issue.
As you said, no ethanol fuel and 99% of your carb issues will never happen.
If you use seafoam you don't have that problem
The choke lever, grab the flat bar it hooks to on the governor/cable arrangement with some pliers and twist-tweak it 45deg to unhook that end. No risk of snapping plastic bit on carb that way.
It's odd yet heartwarming watching you work on something so small
Not to brag but I have a ride on mower that is 28 in and is 8hp.
I run the same lawn tractor as a snow plow all winter so that I never have a problem with stale fuel, I've put almost 800 hours on it in 9 years.
The solenoid on the bottom of the carburetor is an anti-backfire solenoid. Another thing that scares the average homeowner is the sound of backfiring lol. When you shut the key off the solenoid gets pushed closed by the spring inside, and it covers up the main jet stopping the Venturi affect preventing gas vapor from entering the combustion chamber and potentially open exhaust valve causing a scary backfire
What kind of tire sealant do y’all use?
i like the way the jet just unscrewed and the pin for the float wasn't rusted in.. i've seen some push mowers you'd take the bowl off then just order a new carb after looking inside..crusty stale fuel turned into a new form of cement
I've had the same model mower for 3 years, its treated me well. I drain the tank and run it dry every Fall. As to ethanol, Canada wide Shell 91 and Canadian Tire 91 are ethanol free, as is Costco 91 in Ontario.
Negative pressure, exactly the correct thing to say. Thankyou for the great content. Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for this video explanation. Everything you said was spot on and yes the craftsman r110 that I have IS identical to the troybuilt.the tip about not getting the cheap belts was really helpful too.and being that I had the cutting deck off I took a wire wheel to it,painted it,greased it and figured being that I have the deck off I'll replace the deck belt too.then I figured why stop now?took the steering housing off,followed the tip about preventing the steering from slipping in one of your other videos.thank you very much for the very valuable information.i now am a subscriber
I am never drinking beer with you Rich, Odear you made me crack up "if you have buddy drinking beer get him to hold the spark plug while you crank it over" lol
I'll run ethanol unless something is going to sit for awhile, then I'll make sure the last few tank fulls where ethanol free.
At 8:48 where are the bolts to remove that rear cover?
My neighbor decided to throw out a Troy-Bilt Self Propelled Lawn Mower. They just left it by the side of the road. I took it and decided to see what I could do with it. After an oil change and cleaning out the carburetor, it came to life. Although, we may try to sell it online due to the fact that we already have a riding lawn mower.
Spray-foam for tires eventually fails (like it says on the can)....A drag racer guy told me the recipe is to remove the tire and wire brush/sand the rim where it seals the tire bead and spray paint it nice and smooth with whatever, just let it dry good and hard and then the secret ingredient is.....Palmolive Dish Soap!! (UNDILUTED, you want it THICK) Not only use it as Lube to re-mount the tire, SMEAR it generously on the rubber AND on the newly-smooth rims where it meets the rubber and this sht works a long term flexible miracle!
Not spray foam. Leak sealer. It works pretty good.
Leak sealer like mountain bikers use for tubeless tires. Stans No Tubes is a popular brand of sealant. The company HQ is in Big Flats, NY. Lol.
These is a great video for people to learn alot from! I just picked up a nice almost perfect condition older simplicity mower with the awesome 12.5 Brigs engine for $12.50 and I barley had to do anything bro get it going the battery was still good and I found out the person before me cleaned the carb but somehow managed to put it on backwards so the only thing I had to do was put it back on the right way and out a new belt on the deck one I even had laying around and it's been a absolutely perfect running lawn mower for under $13 bucks!
So the guy that built the worlds first Cummins powered flame thrower just told us a little gas down the carb is dangerous. 😹😹😹😹😹. Good video. So true fuel ⛽️ is a gassers best friend.
We were in an open field lol. Not sure who is going to watch this video but I had a customer (grown man) burn his entire barn down. I was close with a MF35 that had a leaking needle. fuel was spilling out of the intake boot. One spark and up she went. Luckily I had a fire extinguisher handy
@@DGHD just giving you a hard time 😹. Needless to say I’ve melted many an air filter from putting to much gas down a carb and having it back fire. Better to be safe then sorry.
hardest part of fixing a mower is defiantly getting those carb linkages out and back in
I'm fighting the same setup now..really don't want to bend them like he did
according to Carl, a great mower mechanic I watched before , first thing is , Did you check the gas MMM..Hmm
Premium can have ethanol in it at least in iowa it dose Some placed give an option for 87 and premium without it
I'm stoked filthy Rich puts out mower vids! Deboss videos are dope and worth discovering. I work for a landscaping company and we run walker mowers, I was searching random walker videos and found the deboss channel. Since, I've gained a ton of interest in diesel engines. A whole new sparked interest for me. A mower vid was my way in. :) Make videos about everything you know Rich! I'll watch that shit.
You mean "un-sparked" (because, like, diesels aint got no sparks....) CHEERS!
@@dmc2554 yeah! Lol your definitely right on there. That was a poor choice of words on my part. :)
Thanks for the vid, very straightforward. Having this exact issue on the similar small CubCadet CC30, turns over, fuel clean, clean filter, spark....on to carb - wish me luck!
Me too. Mine (CubCadet CC30) is 2+ years old. No more 10% ethanol gas. Going to Ethanol free tru fuel and found a station with Ethanol free . Used Sea foam to help clean it out and a few drops of sta-bil 360 in the gas can. Hope this works. How did you make out.
@@whereisthedollar ended up taking carb off like how he did in the vid, and cleaning it completely as the fuel bowl was stuck similar to 18:28 in the vid and the solenoid was gunked right up too. Worked like magic after.
Great. I just diagnosed mine as a clogged fuel filter and ordered a couple from CC online. Will change out and no more 10 e, period will be used.@@CoreyDodge
I like the two washers and vicegrip hose clamp. Learn something every day.
Thanks Rich, best regards from Indiana, USA.
take a cheap/worn out pair and weld washers onto them permanently, you can even grind the teeth away/angle and weld washers on to make it pinch off evenly.
I have this exact mower
have the same mower...that deck switch threw me for a bit til I found the lil bastard
Frig I've learned so much about mechanicing from this man. thank you!
I have the TB30CA (California emissions model) I love it EXCEPT
to meet Ca emissions it uses a Chinese clean burning engine w
automatic choke, and every since new that !&#)$#(*@&# choke
sticks! I have checked the linkage OK made sure there is no debris
around the linkage shot some carb cleaner & WD back in there BUT,
no luck. It still sticks.
!
Fantastic video, very detailed where needed (both in instructions and video recording). I was gifted one that need the EXACT carburetor cleaning! Also, is there an easy way to R&R the battery?
Hi, I have the Craftsmam version of this mower, r1000, what is the correct socket size and direction of thread for the blade. Thank you.
Even though knew what was going on still a pleasure to watch you work!
I think it's sick when I am desperate to find a riding mower to fix up easily and HE gets one THROWN at HIM! :~) Also this particular mower is almost $2000.00 at this time in the states so it might not be considered a "throw away" mower to most of us. Another thing, don't use the goop to make your tires work again. The gunk is very flammable and completely ruins the tire. The person who will eventually take the tire off is at risk of having his/her face burned off when the tire is removed.
Ohhh.. Forrest Gump mode unlocked. I am seething with jealousy.
Don't remeber all these cut off switches, but then again I haven't worked on yard equipment made after '90. Found the seat switches on USA import (to the UK) really anoying and disconected them inmidiately.
After my recient experience I guessed from the very start it will be a blocked primary jet
Here in the states all grades of gasoline have 10% ethanol. There are two options: you can buy ethanol free gas at a home improvement and hardware store but it's very expensive. Or you can buy it a gas station that sells it but some states don't have a lot of stations that offer it. Or you can buy ethanol gas and treat it with a product like Stabil gas treatment. Personally, I can't afford to buy a "throw-away mower". My 30 inch mower is 30 years old and was also given to me. I invested $400 in parts and is as good as the day it was new.
You can buy brand new carbs on eBay for $11.
So it isn't worth my time nor aggravation to clean
nor rebuild a small engine carb at those prices.
IMHO.

It's also a Craftsman R1000, it's a piece of JUNK!!!
Safety switches cause it NOT to start, especially the side chute!FYI: zip ties are your friend!!!
