$300 for a new carb? Shame on them . What a racket. Glad to have people like you to help keep our equipment running. Thank you!

@thaliabotes7083 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for making this video. 50 year old woman with little mechanical know-how and this helped me to take apart my carburetor, clean it, replace gaskets, float bowl o ring etc. I couldn't have done it without this. Much appreciated!!

@retiredhappy466 2 года назад

Excellent video. My Kohler Courage 24hp was a freebee from my neighbor because he said the engine was junk and not worth more than scrap. It had several issues including the fuel solenoid plunger being frozen tight. Watched your video and addressing the solenoid was easy. Runs great now. Thanks again.

@davidyoder7751 2 года назад

I have this same motor on a Super LT 1554 Cub Cadet. I followed your instructions precisely and, my mower is up and running again. I'm very grateful for this helpful video as I'm not mechanically inclined. You saved me money.

Great to hear! Thanks for watching

@martinschafer5828 5 лет назад

One important comment: The fuel solenoid needs to be grounded when testing. I was about to order a new $120 solenoid then I figured it out. Excellent video overall, gave me the courage to trouble shoot the carb on my non running GT 1554. Thanks Jeff, I learned a bunch.

Thank you for posting this video, it helped me with my Husqvarna with the same motor in it. Not a mechanic but your video made me feel like I have been doing this for years.

@JeffsLittleEngineService 11 месяцев назад

good job

@Idiopidity 3 года назад

Good Video! Used the same steps for a Dixon SpeedZTR zero turn being rebuilt. A few minor differences, but nothing to be concerned about. Today, after new spindles and blades, it runs and cuts like a dream! Thanks Jeff!

@joshuakazanovicz2054 6 лет назад

Just want to say thanks! After watching this video, i knew exactly where to look. The fuel solenoid plunger/popper was definately a problem here.

@thomaskelly4128 6 лет назад

Great video and step by step instructions. I was a little overwhelmed by the thought of replacing the solenoid but you made it look easy. Thanks.

@TheHouseOfMoth 3 года назад

Like others in the comments, your video helped me find the issue! rebuilt the carb but didn't realize the solenoid was stuck. Watched your vid, tore it down, cleaned it and now it's good to go! Many thanks :)

When testing the solinoid out of the carb you will need to ground it, as it is grounded when it's in the carb.

@ericdrisgula3879 5 лет назад

Jesus I can't believe how dirty that motor and air filter was . I got a 22hp Kohler courage on a zero turn that you can eat off of at all times and it's 12 years old with 700 hours on it to boot. Garage kept and wash it with soap and water every two cuts, in between cuts it gets blown off very well with a leaf blower. When I replace filters and other maintenance parts on my machine they are still in such good shape you could install them as replacements on another machine! I'm watching this because I want to see if there's more than one fuel mixture screw, like a low speed and high speed screw or if the little adjustment screw at the top of the carb is the only fuel mixture screw because I've adjusted that mixture screw on my mower to richen the mixture as my plugs were white as a ghost but I'm not sure if I'm missing another adjustment or not, I'm pretty sure I'm not missing anything but you never know, not like I ever use manuals or anything. And this carb looks nearly the same as the carb on my 22hp 725cc kohler so I'm hoping all the same applies. Finally why do people leave gas in there machines for years , Christ drain your fuel at the end of every season for crying out loud, it's common sense and easy to do.

@ericdrisgula3879 5 лет назад

That motor looks literally identical to my 2007 22hp Kohler courage motor , looks like a lot of parts are interchangeable , I wonder what's different about this one that gives it 4 more hp, if it's just bolt on parts that make up the extra power id like to def look into swapping out mine , but if it's increased CC's that make up the extra power obviously I'm outta luck cause I ain't swapping my motor out for another especially when theres absolutley nothing wrong with it.

Hi Jeff, i'm really happy to have found you video on ytb. I'll try to do my best as you did, when i can return home to fix mummy's Kohler . Our engine is only 500 hours old, I guess it will run thanks to all the helping people on the Web. Our seller wanted to take it back for 450 euros, really ???

@JeffsLittleEngineService 4 года назад

@judisinger3693 2 года назад

While hunting for one of the clips I lost taking it off linkage, I also found a green wire with round connectors on either end? Maybe about 6 inches long. I have no idea where it goes, but must have come off when somebody else worked on it. Ground wire I'm guessing to something???

@JeffsLittleEngineService 2 года назад

yes ground. it mounts next to carb on cylinder area usually

@Roboticdoughbull3k 5 лет назад

Good video, but yeah just a few shots of carb cleaner and whalah the o rings are expanded and shot😂 But if rebuilding no matter.

@rayburnett3253 2 года назад

I heard from a mechanic ,that if a fuel pump goes out on a twin cylinder ,that gas will flow into the oil pan. Have you heard of any such an use a before? Please let me know soon

@JeffsLittleEngineService 2 года назад

It could happen but I don't think it is that common

@judisinger3693 2 года назад

Just cleaned carb on my GT5000 Craftsman 25hp Kohler. I did not know how to check solenoid. Engine starts but only if I play with choke and then it either sounds like a jet or struggles. Do I need to redo carb or is it something else? Maybe new choke cable. It doesn't seem frozen, just sticky maybe. Is that a possibility? I will check in morning if I hear the clicking sound. Would it start if solenoid is stuck? Great video, trying to get it running after several years of sitting. Getting good at removing carbs, already cleaned the carbs on two mowers and a rototiller! Just would be nice if didn' t have to take it off again, but will if necessary! Thanks for any advise!

@Dusty3900 5 лет назад

Got one on a cv730 26 horse, after13 years replaced carb with one from ebay...$31.00...installed, will see

@JeffsLittleEngineService 5 лет назад

good luck! Probably better than a $9.99 aftermarket carburetor!

So what is the solenoid part

@AJBlue8675309 6 лет назад

Crankcase breather tube was not reconnected and is probably bad.

@dave1135 5 лет назад

I had one of those a customer brought in, but it was beyond cleaning. Was corroded and full of white powder and pitting from oxydation. Customers jaw dropped when I gave him a price. The Briggs that use the Nikki carbs I pretty much just replace with a new carb. Briggs now supercedes the Nikki part number to the walbro. Briggs even agrees the Nikki is a turd. Lol

@JeffsLittleEngineService 3 года назад

@ericdrisgula3879 5 лет назад

Why didn't you remove the fuel mixture adjustment screw on the top of the carb to clean inside that passage as well ? Shouldn't every component that's removable be removed to properly clean a carb , I mean that's how I go about doing these type jobs , everything comes out , and I use a hell of a lot more carb cleaner when I'm cleaning it as well as spend a lot more time pushing thin wire through all the ports and passages , not just 3 simple quick strokes , that's hardly enough to do anything. I also let all my removable pieces like the float ,.need , jets etc all sit in a little cup that had enough carb cleaner in it to completely submerge the parts , and I'll let them sit in there for about an hour while I clean the carb then scrub them with a tooth brush once they've soaked for about an hour.

@JeffsLittleEngineService 5 лет назад

Yes, it is a good idea to clean the slow speed passage as well. However, it is usually not needed on certain style carburetors

@C1iffBurton 3 года назад

Is the solenoid needle even needed? the float should stop fuel from free flowing on its own, the solenoid needle seems like another way to just make sure it doesnt overfill or drain out or something. could you just take the needle part of the solenoid out and run it like an old style carb?

I have a Koehler 16hp/42 cut Scotts the 4 wires coming out the stator and coil 2 red white black and yellow how do I wire them to a ignition switch with ground battery acc and ignition what goes where

@JeffsLittleEngineService 4 года назад

you will have to find a wiring diagram that tells you what the 4 colored wires off the stator do. A kohler service manual may describe what each wire does.

@RonaldDCass 3 года назад

My son-in-law gave me his Craftsman tractor mower that has a 25HP Kohler Pro V twin engine. It cranks over, but has NO COMPRESSION. I can't really see anything moving when I look inside the spark plug holes. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could cause that? Or what I should do rather than tear it apart & discover it is something simple?

@thebackwoodsboysgarage9144 4 года назад

@boricua2538 4 года назад

My Stihl Fs 56 RC trimmer have OEM carb Zama from China, and aftermarket said Zama $15.00. From China. I don’t understand why aftermarket is waste.... Other example: I have a Power Generator 5500 Wen. All China OEM. This machine was running my house for 9 months x 6 hrs x day 1620 hrs in Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. The only thing is the carburetor was overflow gas. Thanks for you video this machine is ready again.

@@JeffsLittleEngineService , thank you , replacement I will do.

@jmikronis7376 3 года назад

I’d find out who the manufacturer of the carb is and order a kit from someone that sells them. Sanding a brass needle valve should never be done! Clean it with carb cleaner only! No carb part should be cleaned with a q-tip! Only use carb cleaner till it is clean, as cotton fibers can come off and stick to the part. That will cause additional problems of not seating properly or keep a jet from operating properly. If it won’t fully clean, replace the jet from a kit.

@senordockman1138 3 года назад

My 26HP Kohler engine just clicks when I turn the key. I replaced the solenoid, the starter, checked the ground wire, and charged the battery up. Still just clicks. Any thoughts?

I have the Kohler engine 22 horse power that pretty much the same set up as on this one well I took it to get it fixed after my grandfather put a new carburetor an field pump it was run in when I took it from the place but now the air Box is filling up with gas and it's even going in to the Cylinder on the left So much that it won't turn over I have to pull the spark plugs to drain it out of the cylinder head Is there any way you could tell me what that could be Ps Maybe you can tell me what it is

Hey I've got this on a 96 toro. I put a new fuel pump on it cleaned the carburetor. I have all new fuel lines. But fuel still wont go to the carburetor. I take the line off inbetween the pump and carb and it shoots out. But when I put it on. Nothing runs. The fuel solenoid is working???? What do you think is wrong

@JeffsLittleEngineService 5 лет назад

The carburetor float/ float valve could be stuck closed. Did you test the fuel pump?, I have a video on how to do that

@JeffsLittleEngineService 4 года назад

on the side of the engine there should be a sticker with model # and serial #

@buster2725 6 лет назад

why would you use starting fluid it takes the lube off the cyl walls,you could already have carb on bench

@JeffsLittleEngineService 6 лет назад

some starting fluid has cylinder lubricant in it. I use a small amount (1 or 2 sprays only) as a quick, easy diagnostic tool to see if an engine has compression and spark.

@bkmeisenburg6787 4 года назад

Great video! Got this engine (22 HP) on a cub cadet zero turn. Was running fine, now it's surging. You think cleaning the carb like this will fix it or can I get by with some carb cleaner through the air intake?

@JeffsLittleEngineService 4 года назад

probably will need a thorough cleaning
