So even with a full tank of gas the mower starts fine but acts like it runs out of gas and dies. Needle seat repair in carburetor.

The first drill bit removal, and re-seat video out of a dozen I've watched, excellent idea !
I was wondering how easily I could remove the old valve seat, and re-insert....
Glad you liked it!
Great video, short an to the point, you don't go on an on for 10mins at the start repeating what your about to do or go on about hitting the like an subscribe button which I will definitely do thanks
Thank you Paul Constable I really appreciateit. I like it short and to the point. It pains me when I have a video that goes over 4mins.
Home Garage I tried about everything to get my generator running this morning an that worked, I was at work an didn't have a lot of time to waste watching a bunch of video's of guys that don't know what their doing or tooting their own horn, thanks again
Buddy 100% right on!
I didn't have the new ring to insert into the carb but gave it a good cleaning and blew out the orfice holes and carb with air. I primed it a few times when it started the sound of the motor revved up and ran about 40 min straight till I was done. Cheers !
thank you
This is exactly how my mower is running. I will give this repair "go". Very clear step-by-step instructions. Thank you. :-)
thanks
at 3:09 there is a long spring in about center picture. What is that? I found a spring like that loose but I don't know where it goes or what it is. Do I need to remove a large cover to access where it goes?
The spring on the left is the return spring for the auto choke. The spring to the right controls the engine speed. Yes the plastic cover has to come off to see these 2 springs.
So our lawnmower handle broke. We received the replacement upper and lower handle. Followed the instructions to the tee. Now it cuts off. We check air filter, and all other parts; but it keeps cutting off. Have you experienced this yet? Any suggestions?
could you explain when you say it "cuts off".
Your edits are really good. How you stop the lawn mower with the narration and framing so much of the lawnmower-top notch.-Ernie Moore Jr.
once again i really appreciate your time
I'm kind of puzzled because mine didn't have the Rubber seal to change so instead of trying to keep guessing on what's making it shut down after a minute. I just simply replace the carburetor to a brand new one and guess what it's still does the same thing you have any other advice on all the other things I should check to rectify what's going on here it's a really nice mower so I hate to Just Junk it please get back to me or PM me anytime you wish to thank you again for reading this and have a blessed day
Sure try replacing the gas cap. If the vent isn't work well enough it will cause the engine to stop a after a few minutes.
Distinguishing between repair and diagnosing was good!. and having the link to the diagnosing video under the repair video then referring to it in your well narrated video-good paced speech--Smart!-Ernie Moore Jr.
thanks for the comment i appreciate it
Thank you sir...I worked for me the way you explained. You made my day :)
Glad it helped
Good tutorial, even the music was good and didn't take 15 or 30 min like other videos they try to show like a novel!
Thanks that was really kind of you. I also have a short attention span so it's a win for both of us. Most don't care for music in my videos so my most recent videos don't have any.
Also, check the price of getting a brand new carb off amazon. Sometimes they are worth fixing and sometimes they are $13 on amazon like mine is lol
Definitely good advice
Good job, well articulated!
Thank you for the comment I appreciate it
Great videos, the carb needle valve was what I expected, but needed a pro's assurance. Mines a rider mower, but is doing almost exactly what your diagnostic video said. Thanks, now I won't be wasting my time fixing the carb.
Thank you Dana Hoover for the comment I appreciate it
of course first you should try running with cap off or air filter out to rule them out as the culprit.
you are absolutely correct
Thanks for the tip on the size of the drill bit. I was wondering what I was going to use to set the new seat in the carb.
You're welcome and thanks for the comment I appreciate it
Just today I signed up for a small engine repair class at a institute so I can start working on my own stuff and your videos have helped a lot
thanks I appreciate it.
Great job! Another victim of ethenol in our fuel.
Yes sir. Ethanol has done nothing good for small engines. I'd like to make a video on the effects of ethanol some day.
Saw this after 3 others w\their beer cans and got nothing but wasted time. Did "like"you but have Q: where do you find that so tiny washer "seat"? Please don't say on line, I shop at stores no close to my house and we use money, not cards. Thank you for the good clear explanation!
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it
Thanks , you seem to know what you're talking about, good video and very informative, again thanks
Thank you Danny Calk for the comment I appreciate it
Very good sir! My Toro was doing just that, and I know how to fix it. Thank you
You're welcome and thanks for the comment I appreciate it
i purchased a briggs n straton rebuild kit but the needle seat hole that the needle sits on was just as small as the original seat that you threw away? the guy told me that it would fit i am not sure why but the float is even sitting higher than it was before, i guess i should order another needle seat, its too late to try the lawnmore tonight but i will give it a shot tomorrow, i have my doubts about it fixing the problem though after seeing how big your hole was and how low your float was sitting. i saw the 4 different part numbers . you gave the other guy do you remember witch one you used? i would hate to purchase another one with the same problem?
Thank you for the comment Christopher Zorthian. Yes sometimes the seats are different sizes. If the float is not level level it won't allow fuel to enter the carb. Honestly it's easier and safer to order the a new carb.
ok, i did , it will be in next week . thanks, it was actually cheaper than the rebuild kit?
Cool. It's just worth it no matter the price to get a working carb with zero issue. Hopefully it works out for you.
Good informative video. Lame music however.
very lame
@@HomeGaragechannel :)
I'm no expert on carburetors, but it seems easy enough to see the float can't fully move. My question is where do you find a new seat? Are they the same for all carbs, or do you have to know the specific engine #?
i have not been able to find a specific part number for the seat and they are not all the same. I just buy a variety of them and hope and pray that one will work. thanks for the comment I appreciate it.
Louder background music, it's not loud enough :-p
Anything for you
@@HomeGaragechannel I was joking, but really it's way too loud. why even put background music...
@@lowspeed2000 older videos had music but I got a lot of complaints about it so my newer videos don't have any music.
where get that parts
Amazon or Ebay. Thanks for the comment I appreciate it
Blessings, John 3:16. Jesus loves you.
That field's a little big for such a small mover - unless it's exercise you want.
You are absolutely correct about that. Thanks for the comment I appreciate
Fixed it! Thank you for your help!
No problem and thanks for the comment I appreciate it
i'm working on one now it's kicking my A**. two carbs rebuilt and one new one and still no gas going into engine. 3 prime bulbs replaced. no gas leaks from tank or hoses. nothing works.
try using some compressed air in the fuel line to make sure the fuel line and the tank's filter is clear
@@HomeGaragechannel fuel lines ok. carbs getting gas but nothing going to engine. not a rocket science. you would think ok either carb or primer bulb or gasket or leak. but no. even after replacing and rebuilding. no luck. although I did noticed that the new carbs are so bad, oversized so the rubber seal leaks opening too large, float gets stuck to the middle gas shaft so has to be grind down. the original carb weigh 3 times more so i decided give it another shot and rebuild it again. so i boiled it in vinegar to clean it even more but then I screwed up and dipped it in bleach and that put an end to it. it turned it into carb from leper colony . so i have ordered another Chinese junk carb ...
@@WV591 good luck
@@HomeGaragechannel in this case going to need it for sure
I think i figured out the problem. thx to cheap Chinese carbs, side Air hole not aligning with air hole in the gasket.
Great! I tried it and it worked for me. Thanks.
Thank you joe attah for the comment I appreciate it
I'm surprised the float bowl did not leak when you re-used the old float bowl gasket.
sometimes it works
Good video but another thing to check is the bolt itself. That’s where the fuel passes
Thank you for the comment I appreciate it
Thank you. This happens to my Troy bilt very often. Looks like I need to have the carb rebuilt.
Thanks for the comment. I would consider a new carb instead as i found out it could fix any other issues the carb might have as well.
I've "fixed" my 25 year old B&S 4 times/yr. It exploded on me a few days ago. The flywheel cover blew off including bolts I put on to firm it up plus I put steel plates underneath on a rotten frame below plus on flywheel cover. I just could fool with it anymore! I rolled it under a bench to tackle later using #4 wire. And within 20 minutes I bought a POWERMORE 132CC (B&S) engine at a sale price of $221.00, $241.00 with taxes at home hardware. I did my lawn and brother's then put it in basement over winter. No more fixes for me! I have a great old B&S I use often.
I'm a dyi'er and avid youtuber, but the explosion was too much for me. I couldn't do it anymore psychoically. I bought new. I was kinda ashamed, but that didn't last long. Hope this new lawnmower gives me many long years!!! FYI.
Great "Tutorial" this information was very helpful, thank you. I've already followed your instructions, but my lawn mower is still cutting off after 7 mins of running time. What could the issue be then? Thanking you in advance.
Thanks for the comment. Next time try leaving the gas cap loose and see if it makes a difference. If it's not venting air properly it will eventually starve the carb of gas .
@@HomeGaragechannel Solution?
@@Pingaheimer to be honest the solution is to replace the carb, gas cap and if it's still doing it replace the ignition coil.
I had a problem with a similar motor on a generator. It turned out that the gas cap wasn't venting properly...
@@phillipvansickle4220I rebuilt the carburetor, looked at the bowl and it was squeaky clean, it pays to use Non - Ethanol gas. But it ended up being the "Ignition Coil" all the time.
Nice video, surprising you did not show to blow out the screw filter at the bottom of the carb, but thanks for sharing..
I would only do that if it wasn't starting.
Great video. Hope this fixes my problem.
Derek's Garage I hope so too. Thanks for the comment I appreciate it
Ihave a Honda Harmony it do the same like you mow for 3 minunues then stallin I clean the carbutator but doing the same .Can you tell me what the problem is. Thank
Thank you Gil79 chonche for the comment. Try to rule out the gas cap by having it cracked loose. It could also be the fuel shut off valve isn't open all the way or its somehow restricting fuel flow. Maybe consider bypassing it? The last thing it could be is the ignition coil. My first ever harmony would shut off after 2 or 3 passes and wouldn't start up . Replaced the coil and it fixed it. Sorry to say there are a few reasons for this problem so I had to list them.
thanks, you make it look so easy that I am going to try it on my mower that I just bought at a garage sale. it did start right up so who knew there was a problem, until I had it home and started to mow. just like the video it keep stalling out. Wish me luck.
Thank you chefnfly for commenting good luck
I never thought it would be something small and easy.
I guess its easy. But to be honest replacing the carb is much easier
Thanks for the repair video. I'll give it a try if I can find the parts.
no problem and thanks for the comment
Great fix, common problem thanks to ethanol gas.
Thank you for the comment I appreciate it
No one has anything about this seat in other videos. I'm going to check this out. I am stumped because I get my mower running from three to five minutes (10 the last time) then it dies and won't start. I've covered all the basic new filter, spark plug, etc.
Did you crack the fuel cap?
@@HomeGaragechannel No it looks fine. My model is Toro 20332. Looks like a simple cap. I've ordered a new carburator. Went that route because the gaskets need to be replaced. Didn't get much service. Mowers about 9 years old. It didn't get good maintenance because I didn't understand mowers. Honestly, it's a miracle it ran this long. I'm learning. Should get it by Friday. I'll check the float when I remove the old one, I'll let you know if it runs.
Excellent thank you.
Mine shut off after 10 minutes. Do you think this is the same problem? Or is it overheating? Oil and gas level were good. Thank you.
Thank you Mr. Gibbson for the comment. Crack the gas cap loose next time and try using it. 10 minutes is long enough for a gas cap that may not be venting air properly.
i am confident that a new carburator will fix the problem
Gas cap.
Where do you get the parts
Thank you William Maloof for the comment. I buy mine on Ebay.
where can you just buy seats, I called a few shops they don't sell them
they won't sell them sometimes, I just order them from amazon.
My Toro Timemaster will run for awhile then quit. I can loosen the gas cap and then tighten it and it will start right up.
Yes it appears your vent in the cap is not working like it should.
@@HomeGaragechannel Looking on the internet I cannot find a replacement gas cap 798898 , any ideas ? Its a 2019 Toro Timemaster.
@@GeorgeGates you shouldn't have to find that specific part number. You should be able to find a universal fuel cap.
Great video! I did exactly as told and it fixed the problem. To my shock, two weeks later, I got the same problem after having installed the brand new seat AND needle that came with it. Any suggestions? THANK YOU!
Yes sometimes it doesn't completely work so I would suggest replacing the carb.
@@HomeGaragechannel thanks for the fast reply! I'm not a mechanic, so I just wonder why it worked and now it doesn't. I wonder if I should take it apart and reseat the needle again before I oreder a new carburetor.
@@dazimon you can absolutely try.
I think you forgot the gasket before putting filter housing on.
thanks
Mine looks exactly like yours do you have a link to the part
amzn.to/3rQ5hgy
Right to the point, without much talking.
Thank you for the comment I appreciate it
nice job fixed this helped me out a lot keep posting
Thank you Raul Rodriguez for the comment I appreciate it
Great job !!!
Thank you for the comment I appreciate it
can you use an o ring, no one sells the seat , that I've found
no you can't use an O ring, you must order the seat, from the internet.
I loose the gas cap but doing the same
Gotcha. Unless you want to replace needle sear like what did in this video a replacement carburetor is not very expensive. The fuel restriction must be happening there.
Thanks gonna havta try this when I get home later
thank you Issac Garcia.
Can't you just drill out the old seat ?
its made of soft rubber material, you can use a drill bit buy your use hands to apply a quarter turn and it should grab it.
Where can we get those mower parts from?

I'm glad people put info on TH-cam
I’m hooked on your channel. I was given a small lawn tractor and gas tiller last weekend. Both run but need some TLC. Thanks for explaining all this stuff so I can understand at my level. I’m going to start working on the lawn tractor tonight.
thank you A-B
Just working on the small mower , same issue , same fix , just came across your channel . Good stuff my friend,
thank you Jason Lenihan, I appreciate it.
What would you say about engine smoke? When I got it, it seemed like it had 2 qts. of oil in it. I drained it and it was very full! I added 18 oz. of Briggs specified 10W. It still smokes a little. Will it burn off? Thought about Sea Foam, but I know that to burn out the spark plug and make for harder starts. Thanks y'all. Hope it's not a head gasket. I'll tighten those bolts.
Thank you Nr. Gibbons for the comment. 2 qts is a lot gas. Some would have gotten into the muffler and pretty much everywhere else too. I'm sure it will go away.
my craftsman started doing this yesterday , I have checked the gas 50 times and it still was half full or more . Thanks for the video , I will check it out tomorrow or soon .
Thanks for the comment and the watch.
Awesome
thanks
Thank you was able to finish mowing thanks to you. Didnt even replace parts just took apart and put back together
Thank you Moto Gary for the comment.
WELL DONE

Same issue, wouldn’t have found it without ya. Thanks!
Thank you Trey Matthews for the comment.
Great video!! Do you have a part number for the kit?
Thanks matt8863 for the comment. Try these out ...Carburetor Needle Seat For BRIGGS & STRATTON 398188 281144 83400 83412
Great video, I noticed the mower was vibrating, you might want to check the balance of the blade and sharpen it.
knighthawk86855. Good eye. Yes there is a slight vibration in the mower. The blade has a gouge in the edge that will be taken care of. Thanks for the comment and the watch.
Home Garage keep em coming, and ty.
It sounds like I wouldn't need half of the tool that Taryl & Donyboy73 has got to replace the needle seat inside the carburettor.
I think they both use a Tecumseh needle seat installation tool !
Use whatever tools you have. If a drill it works then I'm okay with it.
