Excellent......now I know what might possibly be wrong with mine. Only ran with choke on then wouldn't run with that after a while. hope your passed on knowledge is the answer.
Usually I will Use a guitar string “high e “. To unclog jets. Or people often use wire from wire brush or welding files or brush’s. My water pick (dental) works too
The main nozzle is just behind the Jet you took out...why not clean that too? OH, and I enjoyed the video but now that I am retired...I can attempt to do some of this stuff myself (when I'm not working 60+ hours a week for 40 hours pay).
You would be better taking the carb off, take the jet out and clean but more importantly you need to clean the emulsion tube as well, there are at least 12 microscopic holes in it than need to be clear for the carb to work at maximum efficiency 👍 😎
The problem with my engine is, I start it and it will run for about 2 seconds with or without choke then shuts off, I have tried everything from replacing the spark plug to getting a whole new carb, I’ve cleaned the jets multiple times nothing works, any ideas?
Don’t do this to your mower unless you have a welder! The little weld that is on the steering will break off! I tried it and it’s the first thing that happened. It took me hours to get the alignment done. This guy doesn’t mention anything about it but don’t take my word for it.
@@diymacgyverguy8054 It is, I repair driveways regularly! I have three today actually! Get yourself a grading scraper with scarifiers and never buy rock again! I have a few videos on my channel.
holy shit........I have a craftsman that we got a few days ago with this EXACT steering setup and problem. I have the pipe just not the pipewrench...................picking one up tomorrow
Those larger mud puddles, you're going to have to put larger rocks in the bottom of them for you to ever hope to stop them from making puddles. BTW, he is decent, but you're going to need half a dozen more loads that size. I suggest for you to start getting full trucks also
I'm going to try this tomorrow, as I have the same issue with a 2nd hand pressure washer, don't have one of those drill bit sets, but I'm thinking a pack of guitar strings might do the same job as a temp fix. Obs it could be a multitude of other issues as I just bought the thing, stale fuel being a potential issue too. Cheers for the video, great quality and well presented, kudos squire
Holy crap.. thanks for the tip! My carburetor went bad in my rider and ended up with gas in the oil and a gas oil mixture spitting out of the exhaust. Not good! After replacing the carburetor, I was told the engine may still be shot and it still wouldn't start. After finding your video, and doing what you said it started right up. Works like a charm ever since! Thanks so much.
Informative video, the only thing i would add would be for you to show the generator running before you worked on it. So we can see an hear the what the issue is.
Watched 5 minutes of your video and I got me thinking, turned out the choke rod was in the wrong hole but there is a nylon bushing in one of the holes and the rod actually functions properly in the other position. Anyway without your video this problem would have taken me much much longer to sort out. You saved me so much time and trouble. This choke throttle system is terrible, it must confuse the assembly workers.👍
Need an electrical tester to confirm power is going to the starter, if no power to the starter then use the tester to make sure its going to the solenoid. If no power to the solenoid then check the key switch to make sure its working.
Every spring, my tractor had nearly a 2 minute cranking time. Nearly drained the battery ( sometimes it did and I had to recharge it), every 2nd or 3 rd year, and I am thinking it ruined the battery faster over time because it always took a long time to start. I always thought it was the fuel delivery system, as the filter was always half filled with air. You gave me the answer here, the choke was not going to choke, the throttle stayed at normal position during starting times. Thanks for the video on this, I would not have figured it out if not for this video.. I subscribed. It was a craftsman 24 hp lawn tractor.
just wanna say thanks. i did the intake manifold gaskets not long ago due to surging and it never started from cold after that without ether. turns out i put the choke rod in the wrong hole and this video inspired me to go back and have a second look which is where i noticed the mistake i had made.
GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER!!! I have a Bad Boy Zero Turn I've been using starting fluid on for close to the last 10 years. It has NEVER started right. Your video and 20 minutes later it starts like a champ! No more starter fluid for me. You earned my Like and Subscribe!
