Good tips!

Hi John, Thank you. I'm glad it helped you!

I had purchased a used snow blower and the fuel kept running out the bottom of the carb. What you demonstrated, fixed it.

Most of the time a surging engine is a engine running lean. Not enough fuel getting through the carburetor due to a blockage inside the carburetor most likely due to gas going bad inside it and gumming it up. If you have good fuel flowing to the carburetor? you have a clogged carburetor and you will need to rebuild or replace the carburetor.

Thank you for the kind words and for supporting my channel!!!

I’m glad all worked out !!

You're very welcome

Thanks Kevin. If you can get non-ethanol fuel, that can prevent a lot of carburetor issues. I have been using Aspen and I really like it. check out this link to read up on it. www.aspenfuels.us/

What make and model do you have?

Hi Mike, I have tried some aftermarket Tecumseh carburetors in the past and found 95% did not work well at all. If a China Tecumseh carburetor goes bad, I do not rebuild it. It is just cheap enough to buy another cheap china carburetor and hope for the best. I do not know of a good supplier as I just go mostly on reviews.

Glad it was helpful!

Hi Charles, Same here.

Thanks for the kind comment! You got this:)

Thank you! Born that way. I wish I had the six million dollar mans arm and hand if you remember that show. As a kid I watched the show " The Six Million Dollar Man" wishing I had bionics!!

"Vevor" Ultrasonic Cleaner. The one I use is a large capacity 10L. You would not need one that big.

Thank you. I hope it helped you!

If you are re-using the adjustable jet, just unscrew it and clean with a wire brush and you may need to replace the o-ring inside it. There are one or two holes you will need to clean. If you purchase the kit, the adjustable jet is included.

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines Thank you for the quick response, I'll go out and try it in a bit. My son in law is in your area, I will recommend your channel and shop to him and his family.

Thanks for your help Brad. I got it going, it was the jet. I couldn't get it cleaned good enough but I had one from a blower someone gave me that has a hole in the block. It had a flat topped screw instead of a pointed one but it got the job done. I will clean the original and return it to use soon.

Not sure what engine you have but first before rebuilding the carburetor you need to diagnose why it will not start. You need 3 things the engine needs to run. Technically 4. (1)Compression, pull the recoil rope and you should feel it go from easy to hard then easy to hard. It should be harder to pull when the piston is moving up to top of stroke. If you do not feel any compression, you most likely have internal issues (valves etc.) (2) Spark, you can easily check spark spraying a little fuel in the carburetor throat and give it a pull to see if it fires off. If it does, then you have compression and spark so that will then mean you have a carburetor issue. (3) fuel is needed so if you get #2 to work you now know that the carburetor is bad. (4)air of course which you already know you have. I would suggest making sure you have compression and spark. If you have those and you can get the machine to fire up, then it should be a carburetor issue after that. You may have missed a few steps. Always change your spark plug and gas to make sure they are new and fresh! Let me know how you make out.

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines I went out and pulled the carb back off. Checked everything. The needle in the rubber seat wat not seating fully on the rubber seat. It was flooding I believe. Anyway, remove the float at adjusted slightly. Reinstalled carb. It started on first pull. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I subscribed. Fun messing around with these small engines. Frustrating at times, but feels good whe. You figure it out. Thanks again.

I'm glad to hear your back up and running! Thank you for supporting the channel!

Hi Rob, my apologies on not getting back to you sooner, due to your comment was "held for review". I use a large industrial version 10L. you most likely will not need. Here is a link. amzn.to/3Cm6mmr. You can purchase a cheaper version at harbor freight if you have the store in your area.

I just purchased and returned the one from harbor freight. It was garbage. Didn't get hotter than 100 degrees. But thanks for info.

Hi Rob, Good to know. I will not recommend the one from harbor freight. I just came across a 6L. amzn.to/3Qichi8. I think the smaller one I sent you earlier would be to small.

Yes.

Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful:)

It sounds like you may have a aftermarket carburetor. Just clean the carburetor the best you can and as you have found out, do not use the rubber seat or needle valve in the kit. You must use your old needle valve if it is still ok because if you have a brass seat in your carburetor your needle valve will have a rubber tip on it and the one that comes in the kit will be aluminum.

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines oh wow! Thank you very much. Unfortunately my old needle didn't have the rubber tip, so I'm wondering if it wasn't rebuilt right from the getgo. This was left behind from the previous home owners, so I'm not sure what all may have been done. Would there be somewhere I could try to find the right needle for it?

The link for the tool is in the description.

Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
