Nice video. I appreciate the frank and honesty you expressed in comments like "Don't lose any parts like I usually do". We've all bee there before. Also the plain, clear language you use. Funny how others always have additional comments to throw their two cents in. So I will too!! LOL Sometimes for those stubborn little screws I'll take a pair of needle nose vise-grips and pinch them on the side with a good bite. It usually always allows me to break them free (providing space is in your favor) and then I haven't risked damaging the screw heads. I could care less if there is a few bites in the sides of the screw from the vise-grips. Great job overall!!

@rexmericle5068 3 года назад

I"ve done dozens of carburetor rebuilds, mostly on motorcycles. Instead of using a chisel to "impact" stuck screws, I have a small set of vise grips that have always worked with next to no damage to the screw so it can be used again. All you need is for the screw to back off about 5 degrees and the rest of the way can be done with a screwdriver. It's a must when working on JIS screws with a standard Phillips head. :)

@CultivatedMindstate 2 года назад

Impact driver works as well but definitely vise grips if nothing else.

Thanks Jeff, Gave me the confidence to clean my carby out. It was not starting, had spark and fuel pump was pumping fuel and when I sprayed brake cleaner into the throat of the carby it would fire so I hoped it would be a dirty jet etc. I took it apart as far as you did in your clip and found a bit of dirt came out into the cleaning bowl. Put it back together and it started after a few turnovers to suck the fuel through. Thanks again for your clip.

Hi Jeff. I want to tell you that your explanations on how to remove and clean this 2cylinder carburetor is fantastic! I learned a lot from your demonstration and the video is extra clear. Thank you for such a great explanation on each step of the process of rebuilding that carburetor! My neighbor gave me a Briggs and Stratton 2cylinder like the one you have. It sat for at least 10 years in his John Deere but now it's in my Craftsman. I connected all of the wiring and replaced the fuel pump. It started right away and after I engaged the blade it too functioned like it should. I shut off the engine to try and restart it but it only makes a squeaking noise and won't start! At first, I thought that it might be the battery but now I'm thinking that it's probably the carburetor so your video will help me tremendously. Thanks for a such an excellent job. I had no clue on how to remove this type of carburetor but now it's not as difficult as I thought!

I changed oil, and both filters, also the vacuum fuel module. And now I look to this video to learn how to properly clean the jet in the carburetor cause the engine start and stall right after. I'm close!

@neozzickmixes3987 Год назад

I just ran into the issue of stripping out the screws on a carb bowl on my dad's riding lawn mower. Those screws just would not budge, so what I ended up doing was using channel lock pliers and gripped the head of the screw, since they aren't flat and protrude out. Was the only thing that worked for me.

@GabbyBillNumberOne 4 года назад

A couple of other ways to loosen those screws without ruining them. Try just using the Phillips driver of the correct size and holding it straight up give it several sharp taps with a hammer to shock the threads a bit, this often is all that is needed, Alternatively if you have a cordless drill with the different settings for tightening screws, you can use it as an impact driver to loosen / remove the screws. Both of these ways will preserve the heads of the screws. Penetrating lube is always a plus. Gabby

If the mower smokes it means the oil is thin and the gas was leaking past the carburetor when it was off.leaked down past the rings when the motor is cold and thinned the oil out. When it warms up the rings seal

Awesome thanks for the video! I learned everything I needed / wanted to know about my new riding mower's engine in your video in 41 mins. Mine wasn't starting right away, you would have to turn it over for like 2 mins (and of course the battery would often die before I could get it started. Also it revs up / down up down up down. Once it does get started. So im assuming carubator is a bit gummed up? I bought it used its a 20 hp v twin.

My fuel selenoid pulls down the rod when ignition is in the accessory position but pops back up when trying to start the engine, thus no gas to start.

@douglasbeavers417 5 лет назад

I have this exact motor and it starts and runs. The problem im having is when the mower is pointed down hill it sputters and coughs and puffs out black smoke, when pointed uphill it runs fine. Is this a fuel pump issue or is it the float needle stuck open? Im guessing the latter since my fuel tank is in the rear the pump must be working ok.

@jeffslawnmowerrepairandservice 5 лет назад

That sounds like a contaminated fuel system to me. Water and or sediment is probably in your tank, fuel filter and carburetor

That Nikki carb is made in Japan. The correct screwdriver to remove those two stubborn screws is a JIS screwdriver. A company by the name of Vessel makes an excellent impact version that you can strike with a hammer to break stubborn ones free.

@akauto2900 2 года назад

This is very shade-tree for a repair channel. Also, the carb studs aren't 5/32. They are external torx (e4 if I recall) also, invest in an impact screwdriver and lose the chisel.

@drizler 2 года назад

To bust them loose I usually put a good fitting Phillips and SHARPLY CRACK it with a light hammer several times hitting straight down. Hopefully that will bust loose the lock tight. If you bung up those screw heads do yourself a favor and go buy new hex heads in stainless at the hardware store. OEM quality screws are made of a mixture of Candy cane and cheese curd! Garbage is too kind a word for them.

How do you work on small engines without an impact driver? The kind that looks like a fat screwdriver you tap with a hammer. I got one fifty years ago to work on motorcycle engines. I kind of cheated to fix the carburetor on my 20 hp engine. I removed the throttle cable bracket and could get to the float bowl directly. I figured my needle valve was stuck as the motor would almost run. My screws were not stuck too bad and a flat bit stuck in a 1/4 inch socket on a ratchet was all I needed to loosen them. After I dropped it I blew air into the fuel line and the float assembly popped out. It was whistle clean even though the mower is 12 years old. I took the float off and the needle valve out. I sprayed a little carb cleaner in the hole and reassembled it. I pressed it back into the carb and put the float bowl back on. A few seconds of cranking and it runs like a champ with no leaks. Here it is Feb 21 in North Florida, 85 degrees and I have to mow my grass. Your video was helpful in showing how to get the float bowl off.

Folks, do yourself a big favor and clean the engine - or at least the area around the carb - as thoroughly as possible before removing any parts. Compressed air is invaluable, if not mandatory. Once the carb is off, before removing any components cover the various openings and clean everything off again. That device should be spotless before disassembly. Those tiny passages are dying to be clogged with foreign material.
