Earthquake MC43 carburetor replacement with fuel line replacement 

Hi, thank you very much for your informative vedio! I am 62. Live alone. Live in the country and I have to fix all by myself. And sure enough I had to by the whole kit and replace it..ur vedio made it so easy! Thanks again! Without handyman like you....I would be lost!

Thank you sir. You were the only person of several videos I watched to explain which fuel line was intake and which was return. “The devil is in the details!” Thanks again for your attention to detail!

Excellent video! My earthquake has been sitting non working for over a year. Because of this video, I went online and ordered the complete replacement carburetor. It arrived today and with some luck tomorrow I will be tilling my garden. Thanks again.

Thank you very much. I bought the carb kit on Amazon and it came with lots of extras. Including the carb gasket. It was 16 dollars and shipped via prime. Installed it and now my tiller is up and running. It had been sitting for a year and a half. Carb gets gunked up over time and use. So the carb replacement was perfect! Thanks for your video.

Thank-you for this video. I have just picked up an Earthquake MC43 used and it would not start. Common issue. degraded gas line at the carb , pieces broken in the tank and throttle cable was stuck. Pulled tank., cleaned as I went. Had replacement fuel lines that fit and freed the cable with 3 in 1 oil. Final test will be this week. Wish me luck.

Thank you for the clear and helpful directions! We had our machine running the same day....a miracle.

Very helpful, my dang fuel bulb had a hole in it, I am going to replace the whole thing.

You sir are the man. To the point no rambling.

Thank you sir for putting out this video you explained easy enough to understand I followed what you did and it worked ran good thank You so much

LOL! I took my carb off today, but I didn't have access to my computer at the time. I had those 4 rubber washers drop out on me, but I wasn't for sure just where they went. I had taken photos of every step along the way, but didn't get one of the back side of the gas tank when I had pulled it off. Now that i have replayed the video, I can go out tomorrow and finish out what I started. My lawn guy used my tiller last season, but forgot to drain the tank when he put it away. Hardest thing I have run into on today's attempt to clean it all up, was pulling that darn two hole rubber gasket that holds the gas lines at the tank and then putting it back in. That little sucker was stiff as a board and not so very easy to put it back into place, but I got 'er done. I have not checked out the replacement carb pricing on Amazon, but that may be something to get a spare and keep handy. Thanks for the video. Yup, a 4mm Allen wrench and 10mm socket did the complete job today.

Great instructions . . . changed the fuel lines without a problem! Thank you.

"that damned spring" gave me fits! Thanks for the video!

It took me a while to find out you will probably never have to replace the primer bulb, or the fuel lines. If you only use non ethanol gas. They rot quickly. Good info vid.

Thanks : Just got this Earthquake MC43 from friend that want me to try and fix it - your video will be of great help . O by the way I cut a lot of mine own gaskets out too - you'll laugh Saw a guy cut them out of cereal boxes and I've tried it's - it does work ....👍

Exactly what I’m doing best procedure video I’ve seen

very good , watched the other redneck videos, your is far the best, the others did not even mentions the size of the Allen wrench or bolt size, yours is the best one out of the bunch

Awesome video, no annoying music and went right through. Straight to the point and was very informative! Thank you!

Good Video, the Video help me out, I ordered a carb and pray it gos well loll. Thanks for the Video.

Thanks for this - I did it today, and works like a charm.

Using ethanol free treated gas, a top notch oil along with yearly fuel refreshing will alleviate a lot of carburetor problems.

My husband and I replaced the carburetor and fuel lines on our 43cc viper mini cultivator thanks to your informative video. It fired right up and he ran it, used it for 20 minutes when then it kinda gurgled and chugged like it wasn’t getting gas. Won’t restart. Primer bulb (came new w carburetor) now doesn’t pop back out. The intake fuel line is clear and fuel filter is new as well. Any ideas why not getting fuel through?

I need a new fuel tank and now i think ill get a new carb too. My old tank has a hole in the top corner and fussy rigged with duck tape. Also the fuel lines are corroded. Thank for the video i was about to give up. My husband is to sick to fix anything any more and i don't have the resources to buy a new one. Could you or do you have a link to a new tank. Searching the web gives me a headache. This will help me with my weeding. I just busted two ribs pulling weeds. So i need my tiller back.

can yo supply the amazon part # for the replacement carb please?Thanks, BB in Spokane Wa.

I ordered a new carb and it won't suck the fuel but I can see bulbs in the fuel tank when I prime it, any ideas???

Great video

Could you give some help on an earthquake versa tiller?

LOL I couldn't stop laughing at 34 seconds when you said or if you don't have any "man tools"... I had to share that clip with everyone, I always use that term , gotta have man tools lmao not home owners tools or for some woman out there that don't have any tools hahah. Thank you for that.

I agree for $16 why go thru the hassle of rebuilding

Thank you sir this was very helpful for my issue! HAHA you said man tools, some whiny millennial is crying in his safe space. LOL

I'm glad I have "man" tools!
