Thank you. I was looking for specific clips for the cleaning process. Thank you for making this video quick and easy. I didn't need an explanation video. There are plenty of those. I needed the summary, quick version. Much appreciated.
Thank you for understanding the purpose of this video! No bs, straight to the important parts, and easy walk-through without wasting 15 minutes. Hopefully you get your lawn mower working again!
I got a way different model mower. But this still told me everything I need to know on how to do it! I just have to look for those parts on my mower. Excellent Video!
I need video with someone speaking instructions out loud. Also, explaining what part is what, what size tools to use, and especially showing what exactly you are spraying when you are spraying it. First time trying this. BTW love the music.
Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.
@@BlakesBuilds no wayyy thats sweet i only bought one can of carb cleaner and got 1 out of 2 none running mowers to run but it sputters some and i mightvelost the spring to the other one lol

I come in the comments to see what people have to say about push mower maintenance but people are so mean only thing I reading is people hate the music like really I don’t see no issues with music as he is not talking he is visually showing you what to do 🤔🤔🤔☠️☠️☠️
It's ok man, I'm glad you found the video helpful. Those comments are the reason why this is the number 1 push mower carburetor video. Without mean people, you may have never seen this
@BlakesBuilds Awesome video! Hey,today my mower was running pretty good while i mowed the yard,but it just shutted off,i opened the carbonator and cleaned it off and everything looks good and fine,it sparked and started up,but then it shutted off again.What do you think i need? Any advice is great advice.Thank you!
If you cleaned the carburetor and it starts up but dies on its own, it's safe to say either the carb is still dirty or the gas tank has dirt in it, and it made the carb dirty again. Or you could have bad gas, check the gas you have in it for water or dirt. The likely thing is the carburetor is still dirty. Make sure you put everything together correctly and sprayed through all the holes with carb or brake cleaner, and reassemble. If it's still doing this, try replacing the carb, sometimes dirt just doesn't want to come out.
@893263007 oh, I get what you mean. Yeah it takes a few to make it feel easy but I promise it's not as complex as it seems. If you have any questions feel free to ask!
First, drink about 12 cups of coffee, second down a whole bucket of redbull, then maaayyybe you can get this done in five minutes. The title clearly states you can get this done in five minutes...CLEARLY.
Your comment sounds like you've actually tried with that much caffeine. The video shows you how to clean this carburetor in under 5 minutes, it will take longed for you to actually do it. This is supposed to be a very simple video for people to get their mower running, there are not many steps hence shorter video
Hard to do without a friend i would say. Do you mean with the plug in it? If so, the plug has to be grounded to the a metal surface and have coil connected to spark
It's been years since this video has been made, and one thing I forgot to do was provide a part number. However you can easily find the carburetor on Amazon, just search from the sticker on the mower that says the brand and model and hp, and match it to the pictures of the ones that come up. That's what I always did! Hope this helps.
If you spray brake clean by the spark plug when testing for spark, its gunna catch on fire. You can just have someone hold the spark plug tip on yhe head of the motor
Brake cleaner will not catch on fire outside of the spark plug hole. The spray is going inside the hole and you tighten back down the spark plug before starting it on the fluid. The only "fire" would be the cylinder firing if you have spark. This test is superior to the spark plug ground test because if the engine runs on flammable fluid, that means you know you have spark, you have compression, valves are functioning, and there probably isn't internal damage. Is there a small chance for a fire outside the motor? It's not impossible, but a little fire for 2 seconds does not cause harm to anything. You would have to dump gas all over the engine for it to cause damage
The content is spot on and what's important!! I'm sure whatever you're watching your videos on has a volume control or a mute button.... use it!! Keep your negative comments and vibes to yourself, please, and recognize what the video is for!! Why some people are set on spreading their miserable thoughts I'll never understand?? Anyway, thank you for the helpful info, Blake's Builds, and I hope you ignore those negative comments!! 👍🌞🌻
taken the carby apart you should at least replace the gasket they are usually knackered, also being so dirty i would take out the primmer bulb and clean it from inside as they too are generally filthy in behind
Those are great points. If the gasket is damaged it should be replaced or fixed. And while it may not stop the engine from running, the primer bulb should be cleaned as well
@nelsonsimmons6979 Goodluck, and sorry to hear you lost the spring. Those things are hard to find if they run away, especially if you do weed whackers!
You will be able to do it fairly easily. Just take off the housing and you can pry it out with a small flat head screw driver and just push the new one in
Also got a mute button. But these people complaining about the music are the same ones when that call the station for free tickets and they ask if they are good after they won! I always tell them it gets them in.
I would like to have heard you explain things instead of that obnoxious sound. I muted it but then thought that at some point you might say something important. Had to stop watching.
Unfortunately I made this video when I was younger and didn't have as much editing experience. Hopefully you can take something from the video by just visuals, many many people were helped out regardless of the music.
@@BlakesBuilds I just ordered an electric mower from Amazon. Small engines have become so rickety, I have given up.

If you're going through university you should have enough common sense to appreciate the fact that someone made this content for you instead of wasting your time complaining about the music on a video that you decided to click on.
If it starts and dies whether it's from starter fluid or not, that's a carb issue almost 100% likely. Make sure you sprayed through all the ports in the carb and drained/cleaned gas tank. The gas may not be dirty, but could have water in it that's hard to see. Also, if the carb you're working on is a plastic carb, those sometimes do not clean easily and you may have to buy a new carb entirely
At the very end, that spinning wing-nut on the handle is classic 👍🏻

Are you sure this five-minute task using your steps? For me it will at least an hour or maybe more if I lose all the tiny parts.
This is a video teaching you how to do it, in 5 minutes. Not expecting you to do it in 5 minutes yourself
You don’t have a gasket on your carb. I have one on mine. I wonder why? It goes where the carb attaches to the gas tank.
Yes, a gasket goes between the carburetor and the gas tank before you screw it down. This makes a seal so no gas leaks out.
You can just pull the plug and leave it hanging watch for it to spark when you pull the cord
Hard to do without a friend i would say. Do you mean with the plug in it? If so, the plug has to be grounded to the a metal surface and have coil connected to spark

Hello, what spray are you using?
I used carb cleaner. You can find the cheapest ones at Walmart or O'Reillys
I started using brake cleaner though, which also works well
Ya my understanding is brake fluid will work as long as u don't get it on the rubber / plastic parts?
@@MrVARhythm it does sometimes shrink rubber parts but plastic should be good
