If your lawn mower won't start or doesn't stay running, it may just be some gunk in the carburetor. This is the quick backyard way to clean out your lawnmower carburetor.

Glad he got it running, one more tip, the bolt has a hole that runs west and east and up to the jet make sure this is also clear, 😎

You can also strip a bread tie and run it thru the jets. It does work.

Jets are almost made of brass and cleaning them with a steel wire of a bread clip is not e good idea, because you can scratch the bore of the jets.

Thanks a million for your video. I pulled the cord so much it broke because the mower would start but only run for a few seconds. After I replaced the pull cord, I watched the video and solved the running problem instantly!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Our push cub cadet string trimmer that has not been run since last year and is about 10 years old kept starting and stopping. So watched several vidoes and yours did the trick. We had no wiring like you had but saw a long bread wrapper and had hubby strip paper off and got it up in there and BAM it started back up and runs again. Saved us $$$$ and waiting for shop to get fixed. Thank you for making this video.

SIMPLEST FIX: No need to remove carburetor, just put carburetor cleaner in the tank. Details below. My mower sat for 18 months with 1/2 full tank (does have fuel stabilizer in it). Symptoms were same as yours except my motor wouldn't start at all until I got some starting fluid. My fix was to top off the tank with fresh fuel and add "Fuel Injector & Carburetor Cleaner" from Walmart (Supertech, 6oz treats 21 gallons). I estimate I used about 3-4 times more than you're supposed to. After adding the carb cleaner, I started the motor several times with starting fluid but no improvement. I let it sit for 24 hours and the next day, with the help of some starting fluid (ether), it cranked up and ran without stopping. I did manually push the throttle open to get the rpms up until it got warm. You may not be so lucky, but its worth a try. I have a Briggs&Stratton 500E.

I have a lawn mower that wouldn't crank so I cleaned the carburetor and the crunk up and I started cutting the grass but half a strip down my yard it cut off and it repeated the same about three times before I decided to try to cut backwards and it worked so why can't I cut forward with that lawn mower?

Helpful for my situation. Just a quick noob question, this is my first mower. The choke has a spring attachment pulling it closed (or open?) And it rotates freely, but it's not attached to anything. Should there be a lever used to adjust it?
@eightyopen
@eightyopen 3 года назад
Hard to say without seeing a picture of what exactly you are referring to. I would guess the spring holds the choke open, unless the choke lever is pulled.

I have a Brute 700 series briggs and stratton Mower with the same carb setup and I did exactly what you did and mine still runs but only for about 2 seconds and dies and sometimes it just sputters and trys to run then dies I think I may have a bad carburetor tho possibly
@eightyopen
@eightyopen Год назад
Hi Larry, some of these carbs have a small hole in the bolt that holds the bowl on, that allows fuel to pass from the bowl to that center passage. Take the bolt out again and look it over, might need to clean the hole out in it.

That's a really good point, if the bolt in your mower has the hole it should be cleaned with the wire and carb cleaner as well. Thanks for noticing that!

Never do a quick and dirty take it off leave it out the right way and put it back together no shortcuts you need to take the emulsion tube and clean it out the right way
@eightyopen
@eightyopen 3 года назад
I appreciate the comment, but disagree. As you can see in my case, and the hundreds of people this video has helped, you don't always "need" to remove the emulsion tube. There is absolutely no value in removing the emulsion tube and cleaning it if it's not plugged up, at that point it's just over fixing. If the carburetor is so gummed up that this quick fix doesn't solve the issue, I would recommend removing it, and doing a thorough disassembly and cleaning, but that's way beyond the scope of this video.

Question, how is that 5w-30 is for 40 degrees and below but 10w 30 is the same in the hot temp at a 30 weight, what gives? Why is this?
@eightyopen
@eightyopen 6 лет назад
5w-30 is just thinner on cold startup. 5w-30 has more viscosity related additives then 10w-30 does. Technically 30 wt would be a superior oil at operating temperature, however it would offer horrible protection on cold startup, which is when your doing the most damage to an engine.
@knightrider1545
@knightrider1545 6 лет назад
Jim Marquardt I hear you but for some reason small.engines can't use conventional 5w30 above 40 degrees when both 5 and 10 w has the same 30wt as hot, I was just wondering why is it like this?
@knightrider1545

Mine doesn't start or idle unless I hold in the throttle handle and dies as soon as I let go, it doesn't idle at all. Any idea why? I've cleared my jets they're not clogged, but before this happened my engine was idling up and down and started to cut out when in use. Thanks.
@eightyopen
@eightyopen 2 года назад
Some carburetors have a small hole in the side of that bolt that holds the carburetor bowl on, the small hole actually meters the amount of fuel going into the engine, you might want to look for that and make sure it's not plugged. Also an air leak can cause the engine to run poorly, for example if the primer is shot. If you think it's something like that, a new carburetor can be purchased on Amazon for less than $20. Of course this is assuming you have fresh fuel in the mower and no water in the fuel system, pour a little isopropyl "heat" in the fuel to help clear any moisture out of the fuel system. With that said, there are many things that could cause your mower to run poorly, and it's tough to troubleshoot without actually working on it. Hope this helps, good luck with it!
@BurntFossil
@BurntFossil 2 года назад
@@eightyopen Thanks for the reply! I've tried and looked at all of that, all is good but still nothing. I could buy a new carb but unsure if that's the issue. I pull on the clutch (self drive handle) and the wheels lock together which tells me the cog inside hasn't worn away, it just doesn't idle so I'm not sure now. Thanks for the help anyway :)

@eightyopen
@eightyopen 2 года назад
The primer button quits working a lot. On the mower in the video it doesn't work well at all, so I pump it fast about 10 times. Makes for harder cold starting. If you are handy, you can order an entire replacement carburetor off Amazon for around $14

Also be careful twisting the bowl around on the carb. That Tecumseh carb bowl is “keyed” with a horizontal line that should match up with the float pivot point.
