HOW TO FIX A FLOODING WALBRO CARBURETOR 

Thanks for the information on inlet seat sizing.I just received a knock off (offshore kit)2 complete kits delivered for 13$ Cdn .It came with 2 seats and 2 needles (one rubber tipped and one metal).The sizes are “close “ to factory gravity inlet (0.069 diameter) at 0.074 Large/ 0.054 Small.I assume the metal needle for pump fed units.Carb parts for 1997 vintage Briggs /Walbro carbs getting tough to access for reasonable $ in Cdn $.Can replace/roll dice for knock off replacement complete carbs for 18-28$ delivered free by Amazon.(tough to compete when they more than often work fairly well on an old beater tractor)

The later ones didn’t need a thin wrench but earlier versions did.I think if you bend over a buy a new 80$ solenoid you get the benefit of easy removal/replacement at least(plus a way lighter wallet 😢)I believe they are unobtainium now anyway…obsolete unless can find NOS pieces.

Most folks know how to do just the needle but that was the first video that I have seen on replacing the seat and using the special seating tool.

Good video mm1 fixing that flooded carburetor

Thanks bud. Carbs carbs carbs This time of year.

Had a guy call me ask if I could fix a Cub Cadet carb I said yes , But i rather replace it I can get one cheaper than a rebuild kit . gave him the price he said they make everything throughway today . yep price of the carb over labor rebuild .

We had a few of these come threw the shop where we ultrasonic the carb install the kit and still the carb floods. So after that we replace the carb.

Thanks for the video.

Thanks!

Great video Jeremy

And for mine sense i made mine gravity fed which one should i use the smaller or bigger one

Yo yo me old mucker.. ta very much for the video

Thanks for the great video. I am wondering is this a repost of an older video?

I would like to know the part# of that carb oem or ebay part # ,I am going to see if it will retrofit on 35 year old honda riding mower ht3810 they are NLA from all sources ,thanks

Simple. WOT and crank.

My carburetor floods even though it seem airtight when I blow in the fuel inlet while holding the carburettor upside down.

Is that the correct fuel filter for a gravity fed carb?

I tried, still flooded. ended up buying a cheap knockoff carb replacement(for less than the needle/seat/seal kit) and it cranked up first try. had to change my oil after flooding it so much

Anyone know where I can get a rebuild kit for walbro lmj47 carburetor. It's on my Honda gx160 engine.

Some carbs you can't replace the needle and seat

My mower won't start without a dash of starting fluid.

Question? Why did they design the fuel solenoid with the tightening nut extra thin so you have to use a specalized wrench??? Seems stupid, but I am sure there must be a reason. Ha Ha

Its a cv491s engine and looks like the same carburetor
