It appears that you could do this while the carb is on the mower. I actually did this with my mower a few days ago leaving the carb on the engine. I removed the bowl and float and needle. Used a wire to clean the jet like you did and also used brake clean to blast out the jet, clean out the bowl which had gunk in it and blasted out the seat. The gunk in the bowl is what plugs the jet. Ran good afterwards.
I could have, I honestly thought about it, but I couldn't get a good camera angle. You are 100% right about the bowl. Dirt from filling the tank tends to accumulate in the bowl.
@@GuysPlayingWithTools in my case it was fuel gunk, I had previously installed an inline filter and fuel shutoff, however failed to use the shutoff well over a year ago... My fault. I was going through a divorce and didn't feel like doing anything much less cutting grass. It's better now. your video is good illustrating how to clean the jet simply.
@Mike88GT I say it in almost every video... it's always the carb. I feel for you on the ex. I have been down that road myself. It took a couple of tries to find the right one.
@@GuysPlayingWithTools Correct - usually the carb, old fuel, lack of an inline filter and shutoff which should be included on small engines. You have good information. Nice work.
@@haneyoakie14 It was a while ago, but I learned the hard way too. My lesson was learned at 17 years old, laying under my 1969 Olds HO - staring at the linkage on it's M22 transmission and having no idea what went where.
@@GuysPlayingWithTools yah I have only seen 3 of them, the all were on a Scotts By Murray. made around 2001 or so. the linkage setup makes it more difficult with the throttle functionality High and Low Idle. this was one of them I did . th-cam.com/video/6jIw_drtTkw/w-d-xo.html

@@GuysPlayingWithTools many thanks 🙏 👍👍👍. Also I didn’t know you were comedians. Well at least one like you that knows when a nut is loose how to tighten it. Ba dump tis😂
My pressure washer has a 7-something Briggs that I'm going to do just this after I put a tank drain on it. Good old cutting torch tip cleaners. Greetings, Bill!
@@GuysPlayingWithTools It's been sitting as long as I was layed up so it'll ve the carb as a Pal of mine always says. Putting a tank drain on it so I can run it dry with ease.
@robertmailhos8159 This type falls off if the carb isn't bolted down. That's a good thing while taking it apart, but a pain in my.. when putting it back together. Lol
@@GuysPlayingWithTools I saw that in this video on your cleaning The gas pick up tube on this one I need to get My snapper rear engine rider back it has a Tecumseh 13 h.p over Head valve with a carburetor that is a one off style of carburetor it is not the round bowl style The carburetor is the type that is equipped with a special type of spring that holds the gas bowl to the bottom of it plus it is a one off style of carburetor wish I had a picture of it to send you
Nice classic Toro Bill. Those Tecumseh carburetors are one of the weaker points on these engines. That, and the crankshaft seal under the flywheel usually leaks.
@@GuysPlayingWithTools the side hole is so small that it is frequently missed and easily clogged. My bread tie is usually too thick to go through it. A straightened paper staple is just about the right diameter in my experience. I agree the muffler removal is the first step to a Tecumseh carb service. And if the carb is going to be totally opened, removing the intake manifold from the engine then the carb from the manifold is the best way. And marking the correct hole on the throttle plate, since there are usually about 6 possibilities. Good job on those Tecumsehs. My #1 engine is the Quantum, but the TVS195 is a close #2. The sound they make is the sound of the mower Dad had when I was a teenager and we were working in the yard together.
@haneyoakie14 The Quantum is my #1 too. Get a cheap roll of floral wire, and you will start using it for everything. It's the perfect stiffness and size for cleaning out carb holes
The best part... you can get the whole roll at Walmart or the Dollar store for $1 or $2. There is nothing better than those times when the cheap way is also the best way.

@Mike88GT Thanks. The one thing Honda does better than the rest is the shutoff and screen filter on just about everything
Another good video Bill
Thanks Barry. 👍
Great job brother Bill 👏 😊
Thanks!
Brock, shouldn't you be working on something! 🤣😁
@rogermcdonald1607 I see this one. 👍
I see this one.
Reply test. Comments are vanishing...
1:20 pictures pictures pictures. The northeast approach. The southwest approach. Never possible to take too many.
Absolutely! That's the one thing I make it a point to say in every video with linkage involved!
@@GuysPlayingWithTools yup. Voice of experience. We learned the hard way.
@@haneyoakie14 It was a while ago, but I learned the hard way too. My lesson was learned at 17 years old, laying under my 1969 Olds HO - staring at the linkage on it's M22 transmission and having no idea what went where.
@@GuysPlayingWithTools pictures were not so easily taken in those times.
@haneyoakie14 True... I still miss them though
Do one of theses that has a turtle rabbit throttle on carb and that’s even more tricky. Especially on the few OHV models Tecumseh made
I will keep an eye out for one. When I look for equipment, I usually have something in mind.

If it starts and runs ok you won't get anything out of it but if it acts up in any way... this is the trick 👍

@@lewiemcneely9143 Yeah, after sitting a while, they always need a good carb clean
@@GuysPlayingWithTools I always do whether I've been sitting or not!
I cleaned and rebuilt 2 carbs...oh my cost me 30.00 for both...Welch plugs. New fuel inlets...cleaned holes where Welch plugs go. But they work great
There is nothing like the feeling when you pull the cord and your "broken" motor starts right up 🙂
Another Tecumseh engine being saved by Bill 💸💵 ( guy's playing with tools) 😊
Those old Tecumseh motors aren't bad, they just have ugly linkage. 🙂
@@GuysPlayingWithTools ugly linkage 🤣🤣 there is probably worse linkage than that which you are probably going to run into down The road 🛣️ one day

Thanks. It also got a new transmission, but I didn't get a video doing it( I wasn't thinking lol)

Thanks!
Does that TVS195 have the side hole in the jet?
It does. I am pretty sure all the "Bolt Jets" have side holes and a center hole. I haven't seen one without side holes yet but... the day is young 🙂
