My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We see over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

Awesome tutorial!! Lots of techs have
Trouble making those Nikki carbs work after a rebuild. They are a mystery to some . Great job!
I hate those things!
Laughed my butt off when you said if I can do it you can do it! You either grossly underestimate your abilities or grossly overestimate mine!
Bwahahahah!
I was wondering about the bottle of what looks like it might be some sort of German parts cleaner❓‼️❓I am not good with German words‼️🤨🧐🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸
😂
ROFLMAO... 😂
Always feels good when it starts right up after a repair! Thanks for all the education you give that actually is worth something!
Thanks for watching!
@@Chickanic can you help me I have a Murray riding lawn mower it's a 12 horsepower 40 inch cut.model number 40620C
Date of man 2950.
This info is all I can find.i tried ordering and they sent me the wrong parts.i need the front wheel bushings for murray riding mower.can you give me possible correct part number.
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
I just completed an engine swap on a craftsman Z6000. It had a blown engine from the previous owner. It had a 20hp B&S, found a JD L130 rider with a 23hp Kohler. Not too difficult of a job and I now have a nice repowered zero turn to mow with. 🙂
Heck yea!
I'm noticing bottles of Weihenstepnaner Dark Hefeweiss showing up in your videos. 🙃
Good stuff.
I love your shirt, and the Beetle in the background. Bre, you show many cool tips for our equipment. You are my favorite youtuber.
Once upon a time I did all that stuff you just did because my mower would only run 2 3 seconds. Finally I looked at the gas cap. Yes, I poked out the hole on the gas cap and my mower ran like a banshee. ALWAYS check for a clogged vent on your gas cap. Love your videos❤❤
Same here..mine quit running while cutting and I thought the fuel pump or something went bad.. I took off the gas cap to look in tank to see if there was some problem in there and just happened to try and start it with cap off and started right up ..cleaned vent in gas cap and done deal!!!!
I just drill holes in the side top area of the caps
@The_Chickanic. talk to this pecker
Those pesky caps. Radiator caps and gas caps can have multiple valves on a car.
Had this happen too. It would run rough like it was out of gas off and on. I happen to notice one time the tank was sucked in a bit and found out if I loosened the cap when it was acting up, it would clear up. I then proceeded to poke out and blow through the vent. Ran good since.
I love that you actually fix parts that are failing (like the stuck fuel shut-off solenoid in this video) instead of just replacing them with new parts like most shops do. Saving $$$ for customers...
Those bowl screws are NEVER that easy to remove. Maybe adding a tutorial on removal. 99% of them aren’t that easy
Great video, maybe sometime you can give us your history on getting into small engine repair and gaining your repair knowledge.
I tell a good chunk of my back story in this video. th-cam.com/video/VuHpdYis-8U/w-d-xo.html
I always get a kick out of your enthusiasm. You've been doing small engine repair for years yet you still get a thrill when the engine starts; don't ever lose that.👍
Yup! I also get the gut wrenching dread when it doesn't start! LOL!
Another great vid. 10:27 to 10:34 that feeling we all know is what makes a no parts repair extra special.
Stay gold.
QUESTION: Do you have a video of a riding lawn mower and how to drain bad gas from it? I'm asking because I have a mower that hasn't been used in several years. It has no visible gas inside the tank. The gas has presumably dried up. But, a repair man said there is a "bad odor" in the gas tank. Is there a way to clean the gas tank?
These are my favorite videos of yours. I always learn something during your troubleshooting. Cheers.
Probably should replace cam and head gasket while you have it.
Nice to see an experienced mechanic get excited when all their work pays off, just like us laypeople
I keep my 1980s Gravely...
New stuff is so junky plastic tin.
Deere should be ashamed of putting their name on that garbage..
Excellent channel 👍
I have a 45 year old Gravely... It starts every time. My John Deere is such a piece of useless you-know- what...
Did you really say don't "wanker" the spring hahaha
….now for the money shot
I just had a JD X320 come through with a Kawasaki that ran, but all it did was spit and sputter, even worse when the PTO is engaged. I put a new fuel filter on. I changed the fuel hoses from filter to fuel pump, and fuel pump to carb ( they were old and soft). I cleaned the carb and made sure the fuel solenoid was working. It still spit and sputtered like it wasn't getting fuel! On a whim, I cut the plunger off of the fuel solenoid... runs like a champ. I ordered a new fuel solenoid.
I love the content you should get some little pick screwdrivers all different angles from like Harbor Freight or something or Amazon and it takes hoses off in a breeze
Good stuff. I'm still trying to figure out what might be wrong with my Husqvarna rider. It cranks like crazy but won't start. If I give it just a little whiff of starting fluid it's off to the races and it will run fine, shut off and restart fine. I replaced the fuel pump, assuming a weak pump wasn't getting fuel to the carb at cranking RPM, but it changed nothing. Hate to start randomly tearing stuff apart when it runs so well once it starts.
My L120 J DEERE is acting like that also. I drilled a small hole in the air cleaner and a shot of starting fluid is all it needs.Especially handy for cold weather when it won’t start at all. A small patch of tape to cover the tiny hole.
While mowing last week, engine shut off like out of gas. Found that the fuel cut off solenoid failed!!! Well that sure shortened my wait for having a cold beverage after mowing😂
All my years working on carbs I have never removed the bowl screws that easily or had the bowl just fall right off without a single tap with the old screwdriver handle. Great video. Seems all the carb videos are the same now days. BTW I have used aftermarket carbs and not one comeback yet, knock on wood.
I have a suggestion you can try on the next one...
Unbolt the air horn from the carb before you pull the intake bolts. I have it allows eas to remove and reinstall the throttle link.
11mm socket fits the nuts on the air horn.
oh, are you having a german beer? Quite fine video, I will have to check my carburetor on that older Briggs mower soon. Thanks for showing how to do it.
Yup! It's my fave!
From my experience with those solenoid issues, you are able to hear if it's operating when you turn the key on and off. It's a simple start to the no fuel diagnosis. Great content as well, I never knew you could fiddle with it like that and rejuvenate one! Thank you!
I didn't even know fuel shutoff solenoids were a thing. Kinda feels like something we might not need? But after watching your video I think this might be my problem. Gonna give it a look tonight!
This video was very well done. Thank you.
I have a self propelled mower that had bought in yard sale, worked for a while a month or so but get heated and stops working. Now it doesn't want to start
I'll be honest.
Im mechanically inclined and feel confident with fixing just about anything else, but have never learned how cabs work and would always junk a product if i hear the carb is the problem.
I was about to give up at the 4 minute mark, UNTIL I heard you say "If I can do it, you can do it". For some reason that was all the reassurance I needed and to my surprise, I followed your instructions and my riding lawnmower works!
You are awesome. Thanks for keeping it simple and providing inspiration. That little comment changed the entire trajectory.
Thanks so much for letting me know!
G'Day Chickanic i live here in Brisbane, Queensland Australia and i really enjoy your videos as they are pretty much educational and great advice so keep up the good work **THUMBS UP** And i see your sponsored by Weihenstephaner Beer..lol. We Aussies drink XXXX gold beer so **CHEERS** **THUMBS UP** ..
I absolutely dislike this carb. My son has one on his LA115 John Deere, 19.5hp Briggs, and it has the surging issue at low speed. Under load it does pretty good. As I had mentioned in a previous post, I worked on small engines and lawn equipment from the early 70's, after school, until 1987. Have done some odd repairs over the years, so I got a repair kit for his carb, and am pretty sure I got it in right. Still surges. I can't imagine why the small engine industry went away from the simple, fully adjustable carbs (well, I guess I can) that were easy to clean and repair, to this junk. Same thing with a 10hp Briggs on a generator I have. And of course the ethanol gas doesn't help. Glad I'm retired!
nice shirt, black label society is awesome :)
Never worked on a small engine before, bit I'm trying to get an old craftsman dyt 4000 running. electronics are good, filters are clean, fuel line seems fine, fixed the throttle cable, and I'm pretty sure the problem is with the fuel solenoid or carburetor, but that dang machine is just built to make it as difficult as possible to access. Hopefully a miracle will happen and I can pull it off
HAH!!! I did it, it was just way more difficult than it should have been
Mt man here first time hitting the like button 👍👍 been watching ur videos for years now
What brand of carb/fuel sys cleaner are you using that it has a mixing ball and must be shaken? I normally use Gumout brand. No mixing required.
Also, I'm currently working on a (very) old Agway rider, with a 2 cyl Briggs & Stratton. I was forced to buy a new(ish) aftermarket carb as there are no rebuild kits available. After I replace the carburetor, I'll likely fabricate my own paper gaskets and use an O-ring kit to rebuild the old one.
I'd rather just rebuild the carb, but I'm in a bit of a time crunch to get the tractor operational, and this way I can take my time rebuilding the old one and keep it as a spare.
I'm also planning on making some (relatively) minor modifications to the tractor to make it more useful this coming winter. (I really hate shoveling)
Torch tip cleaners...a must have in a ethanol world
Anyone have an ideas: iI'm trying to figure if I have an air leak or a weak fuel pump? An older JD GT-262 which has an inline transparent fuel filter. Always a lot of air bubbles in it (never completely fills with fuel). Since getting to the fuel pickup and line coming from the tank is a pain, I want be 100% sure that the problem is in that direction and not just a tired fuel pump that can't keep up. Thoughts?
Oh Deere the Nikki carburetor is needing a clean up Bree is the one that has the skills to get it done 😊
That happy dance you did seems to be a universal thing. Its a great feeling/relief when you hear that motor fire up.
Most problems I see are fuel related. Carb, gas cap vent, choke not closing fully etc.
And of course fried electrics, even alternators cause they jump-start them from a car etc.
Been watching some of your videos lately...my father was a "small engine guy"...so he passed some of that down to me. I have a 25-plus year-old Husqvarna riding mower that I use. My plans are to ride it until it quits! I keep fixing "this and that" on it...but She is a trooper and just keeps going! Recently replaced the starter solenoid...now she cranks every time! The voltage regulator before that...and the front wheel bearings before that. Anyway...thanks for the videos...and nice shirt!

How's the Weihensstephant? I've never heard of it!
It is a world class brewery.
Have you ever tried Kroil penetrating oil? It seeps in and frees up tight clearance fitments real well.
Kroil is amazing stuff!
Advice from a 25 year Master Technician, wear Nitrile or Latex 100% of the time. Your hands will absorb every chemical you touch. Your children will thank you. Great video as always Chickie. Big fan here. My wife and I hope you have a great summer!
I noticed that as you removed the carburetor you were using imperial size sockets. I thought American manufacturers largely went metric years ago. No?
Don't you all just hate it when a fuel cut-off solenoid has to act so "Stuck up" ?😂😂😂😂
Enjoy watching your videos. I've got a toro 13 hp walk behind T handle the carb gummed up been sitting .Ineed to get one of those round tuits things I guess . Hope Y'all are having a great weekend thanks for sharing !!!!!!!!
pulled the mower out yesterday, turned on the fuel valve, added a couple gallons of gas, put the new blades on, and it started on the third pull. blades without the corners worn off, cut so much better.
I thought for sure it would have been that fuel shut off solenoid. Those things are useless and evil. My Craftsman rider had one that had a mind of its own and kept killing fuel flow in the middle of a job. Rider would run for around 20-30 minutes then just die. I wound up snipping off the tip and installing a manual fuel shut off valve between the fuel tank and carb. Now after every cut, I shut off the fuel and let the engine run out of gas (everyone should install a shut off valve). The solenoid may still randomly get stuck extended but it’s too short to kill the engine.
I have a small Bobcat with a Magnum18. Question is, what oil should I run in this motor? When I use it a lot it seems to run warm. Thanks for any info you might have!
Oh I love it when they fire up after a repair lol. I didn't know you could fix the shut off switch. Good to know 😊
Morning Mike!
@Chickanic good morning to you as well 😊
I noticed the Echo Torque trimmer attachment no longer has the speed feed head, any thoughts on the new string spool?
I have a Briggs Toro walk behind lawn vac. When I bought it the man said that you have to run it on half choke. It starts fine. Do you have any videos that cover this? I have looked through the list and nothing jumped out at me. Thank you.
I am delivering a sermon to you 🙏😊 please read
Consistently Pray for forgiveness, guidance in a good (positive) direction, and for help against evil. Pray to be saved from hell (whatever that may be). Pray for your friends and your family too, it only takes a minute or so/less at a time to pray. Do it and your life will slowly get better, or maybe quickly. It probably just depends on you and the kind of person you are/have been. Don't wait until its too late and you have to suffer the consequences of built up bad karma from immoral acts/unrepented sins. Maybe together we can help make the world a better place by changing ourselves for the better, and changing things around us for the better.
And addressing/thanking the CREATOR, LORD GOD at the beginning and end of your prayers would be a good idea 😊
Or just be my friend if you don't want to say the prayer 😄
I'm trying to help you get right with the LORD 🙏
Amen.
I have worded a short prayer for you to say if you are not sure what words to use, it may not be the best but here it is 😊
'' CREATOR, LORD GOD,
Please forgive me and my friends and my family for our immoral acts, please help guide us in a positive direction and please help us against evil. Please save us from Hell and have mercy on our souls. Thank you CREATOR, LORD GOD. Amen. ''
Please say this at least once a day for at least a month, do it longer if you want to and can 🙏
You should prostrate yourself if you don't want to do spoken prayer, or do both 🙏😊 Please worship the LORD GOD and not any idol.
Please put your hands together 🙏 bow your head and say this prayer:
"CREATOR, LORD GOD, please know that I worship you and not any idols. Thank you for everything CREATOR, LORD GOD. Amen"
Say ' Om Namah Shivaya ' out loud or in your head 108 times, or try to do it 1008 times 😊 try to do it everyday if you want
repeat this aloud for as long as you want to, try to do it for like an hour a day or say it in a prayer "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner" 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You can also say this prayer once a day or repeat it aloud as many times as you would like to:
"Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen."
Thessalonians 5:16-18
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
Philippians 4:6-7
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
"O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!" Repeat this aloud at least 3 times or as many as you want, do it everyday if you can
I apologize for all the words 😊 I know how it may look
?? Valve Cover "Doesn't come" with gasket, (no gasket installed) when new? if so, that's odd.
You Inspire the Desire to keep trying .... i shall dig deeper. : } *Thanks!*
Fuel delivery is Major Issue here, i've pathetically just given up, _for now_ - [years\months]. _rant_ sadly my Awesome *'84 Scirocco* with Excellent Engine, was rear ended, dude's insurance co. Refused to repair body, took months to get it returned, but - received FULL of Water inside & NOT Running. i bombed the court route - Failing their Duty, (make whole) plus additional damages; Not my forte'. - no fuel getting to filter. Still sits here. ... i dream, one day it will run again.
*'95 Celica* just not starting, Great Spark - next, testing Relay, "Circuit Open", but, bet it's Fuel pump. {{{sigh}}}
lol sorry for stories, at times helps me think what i've missed. *Cheers!*
your taste for great beers rivals my own..I prefer the Belgian Lambic Ales, but fine German Wheat Beers are also a fan fav of mine.
A long time ago Bre and I remembered that there is good beer in the world so we quit drinking the light crap. The world is a much tastier place now.
Very helpful video. My LA110 will only turn over if spraying cleaner into intake. Is that a deeper dive into carburetor? Changed gas cap, plug, fuel filter and plunger shut off is fine. Thanks.
@chickanic any chance of a VLOG why my local shop said "side valve" mower engine are better (don't break down as much) than newer OHV. ... and whats with the EXi Series (just Check and Add™ so you'll never need an oil change-ever.) motors?
My Husqvarna 46" (YTH22V46) lawn tractor runs very rough with lots of sputtering when I WARM start it, so if I turn it off for any reason, I can't use the tractor for an hour or so. It also sometimes happens when I've been running it for a while and it gets very hot. I already changed the air, oil and fuel filters, new spark plugs and put in a new carb and intake manifold ...no improvement and I'm out of ideas. Does this sound like a fuel pump issue.... or any other ideas would be greatly appreciated... ?
One of your videos suggested putting on a shut-off to the gas. I did that and the last 5 mowings, I start the JD rider up and mow about 15 feet and it dies. After a forehead slap, I reach down and turn on the gas ! I fiqure if I slap my head harder each time it will stick to open it first. 🤪
Nice Little VW Beetle. is it a 1973 or 1974 ? I on a Average was rebuilding or building new ones three per week. 1980 to 1993 when the beetles VW bus's and Rail Buggy's and Dune Buggy's were Popular .
@Chickanic
Which gasket were you talking about.
Head? or Valve?
Can you do a video on changing the drive belt on the L100 / Scott’s L1742?
I was looking under there, and that looks like quite a PITA.
I haven’t seen any videos of that, and it’s move involved than doing the mower deck belt.
I have a JD L120 that has no spark. Turns over. Replaced both coils and spark plugs, gets fuel, still no spark. I don't think there is a safety not made that would let it crank and not fire. Could it be the ECM?
Nice video. Around here we joke "it's always the carb"
I got a 26 year old Kohler 12 horsepower that has been super reliable !!! Oil changes ,air filters and spark plugs are the only things I have had to do with this engine.
Great tip on using the drill mounted wire brush to clean the interior of the fuel bowl. Sure beats hand held scratch brushes and paper towels for removing the gunk.
My kind of lady,she has skills and beautiful the whole package. Love your videos
Ill take a nikki carb over fume injection. At least there is a 50/50 chance i can fix something mechanical. Electronic things are digital. Two states: they either work fine or dont work at all. Often they are protected from elements and reverse engineering by scratching the numbers and filled with epoxy. (Hermetic sealed) Unless you are a professional engineer with free access to a lab and can deconstruct a silicon dye layer by layer and reproduce the part, nobody is fixing any of the mystery modules of a CDI or EFI system.
Thanks, Chickanic, this D110 is what I own. Same year and model so I'll keep this in mind!
My old Intek that I've maintained and kept running 19 years started dying after running a half hour or so. Cheap replacement fuel pump vent screen plugged. Vacuum line not quite seated, one tiny fold on the inside. Valve cover gasket falling apart. No or low vacuum + wimpy aftermarket pump + gas tank vent = not pumping. It is now.
Chickanic isRock and Roll ❤
I see a beer on your work bench. Are you trying to be like Steve 😂 I hope you got to enjoy some of your weekend.
Right on
First, if you have a good used walbro carb, take the aggravating and expensive Nikki carb off and put walbro on it. Just my opinion.
I have a craftsman ztl7000 zero turn.. An oh idea what I could check, when I engage the blades it sounds like something is binding and it starts smoking from the back.. Not the engine. Any ideas?
What happens when it runs for about 20 minutes then it won't start it stalls out then you have to let it sit for about 15 minutes and she'll start up again then she'll run for a while and then it does the same thing any pointers out there
Might be the coil is over heating or possible that a fuel line is clogged.
Did you ever find out what’s wrong with that? Mine is doing the same thing right now
I admire your skills. But I magine most people who watch are not physically able or mechanIcally skilled enough to do what you make look simple. There is no way I would ever try to do what you did. Just like your viideo about cleaning the heads and re-lashing valves. Nope, not me. Not ever!
Thanks for another great time and money saving video my mechanic here cuts those plungers off I did put a shut off valve on both mowers like you suggested
Hi , do you have any videos on old stuff, I have an old Coleman 54 generator that runs but won’t stay running , hoping a carb kit will do trick??
Someone please help me
I jave a Sears walk behind weed eater 1999 craftsman model with Tecumseh engine. I'm not getting any fire, no spark. I cleaned the flywheel magnet cleaned the magneto changed the plug no fire
I replaced the coil gapped it with a business card nothing.
I checked the cable going to the turn off its operating as it should. I discovered the ground wire from the magneto still nothing
Please help
Thanks for your video, it helped me fix my john Deere d110 today. Save me some cash too.
My uncle used to own his own lawnmower shop. He sold Simplicity and Toro equipment. He would tell me some of the nightmare stories of homeowners mowers he would have to repair. It’s unbelievable what people do to their mowers
I like to remove the flywheel cover, its a couple extra steps but often I find the beginning or a full blown mouse nest in there and besides to easier when putting it all back
John Deere quality has slipped right down there with MTD! So sad…
I'm on TH-cam and do not see the link for the detailed carburetor repair. Can you please post it in the comments? Thanks!!!
Nice fix .Cool ‘73 back there. Have a great weekend!
How about providing a short video installing a true gasket on the valve cover please? I'm not too keen on using RTV by itself as a gasket as some factory installations use. If a small piece of that RTV breaks off later on the inside of the cover it could cause some serious problems and you might not realize it until it is too late. Thanks!
Great shirt also nice fix on the rider.
All emmission carburetors are to lean ,most need jets drilled. Constantly speed hunting back and forth is a sign if everything is clean. One size jet does not work ,different, temperatures, and altitudes require different fuel mixtures.
I had taken the solenoid off my carburetor. Is it normal for gas to keep coming out of the bowl even when the bowl is empty, it just keeps pouring out.
How do you fix a brand new four horse Briggs and Stratton two pull start with no chock , I used it three times, and the only way to keep it running is to manually cover the carb to keep it running
Easy peasy!! The gasket will probably take longer 👍
Do you recommend using Berryman fuel cleaner mixed with gasoline?
Ive never tried to fix anything on a mower. After watching your video im going to give it a shot. But what is the can your spraying. I need to know what to buy.
there's a prime case where i'd put an inline shutoff. when you are done for the year shut the fuel off and run the carb dry. "punch bug!!!! no punch backs!!!"
My family would play "slug bug" when we go to Mexico, but decided bruises don't look good with our tans. LOL! There is one every 10 feet!
About using a aftermarket carburetor my mower wouldn't even start without a little spray I couldn't get it to work so I took all the internal parts and used them in the original carburetor The motor ran the best it ever had I will never buy aftermarket carbs again
Having a carb problem on my 289 JB and lost fire on the left solenoid
Question for you I have a 3 months old string trimmer after the 3rd running it quit running gas and oil correct new plug check further mo spark coil bad on the secondary side ordered a new coil fired right up ram good the day after crank but no run no spark air gap is correct contacting the seller of coil sent me out another one did a continuity test before installing primary side shows open contact the seller he trying to say it's some wrong with trimmer I'm not new to small engine I'm a retired auto tech he says he has sold over 300 pcs with no issues I know these are made in China magnet are strong plug is new good compression it's just the coils are going dead any help from u is appropriated
if the bowl is still stuck once the screws have been removed, how do you get the bowl off? Would soaking it in parts cleaner be the only solution?
