This is one of the best videos out there. my carb was flowing fuel fine, turned out my fuel was too stale. I poured new fuel with some seafoam and it worked. Thank you!
Thank you for this. I have the exact same model and it was extremely gummed up. I inherited it not working. What’s odd now is it appears to run steady with the choke on, not like a small engine normally does when it’s choked, and when I move from choke to run, it cuts off.
Thus sounds like the center pickup tube has its tiny holes at the top of the tube are not clear running...choking causes an extremely rich supply just to run. Removing and cleaning the jet and it's associated tiny holes are free and clear. If you remove the main jet using the exact size screwdriver should allow access to remove the venturi tube and clean 'all' the tiny holes in it. Thanks for watching.
(Sorry..forgot to add: some carb bowl nuts have a tiny hole near or below the threads that needs to be clear as well. Use a single wire from a wire brush if you have one, or at least tear the paper off a garbage bag tie if you have nothing else...take care NOT to enlarge any of the holes(unless it is your intention to do so).
A friend just said to add a reminder to also make sure each of of the tiny holes inside the carb barrel, both in front and behind the choke plate are clean as well..in case you did see them. Thanks again.
According to Briggsan stratton.com.."The “foam only” style air filter system works by trapping dirt and debris through the use of motor oil spread throughout the oil foam holding medium. A dry or non-oiled oil foam filter will trap only the largest particles. If the air filter element is foam only, it MUST be oiled and serviced regularly.
