Cool! I just got a McClane edger with B&S $3.5 for only $40! Gotta clean the inside of the tank with solvent/ abrasives, red kote it, and put a new carb on.

@stevenbrindisi4719 4 года назад

Always put things back the way you took them off. It's a time saver. Good work man.

@arkling 2 года назад

Awesome video. Really clear and easy to follow. Now I need to find the correct repair kit with gaskets. My McClane edger was running fine last year but this spring it wouldn't run. Starts right up with starting fluid then dies. Was able to run by cutting back on choke but now quit completely. Thank you very much.

@rustyscrib6071 3 года назад

I've been working on this for two day now. I've cleaned the carb, the gas lines, gas tank, etc. still didn't start. So I decided to take it apart again today thinking I missed something and as I'm putting it back together I noticed the breather tube, one of the rubber hoses is falling apart. I'm going to get the part tomorrow, and hoping that will be the problem. What upsets me is that it's right on top. I didn't have to take the whole thing apart again. Those screws are such a pain to get to. I'm only doing this because this is my late dad's edger and has sentimental value, otherwise I'd probably not bother. I know my dad's looking down thinking...Yeah, that's my daughter fixing my edger...lol

@gavin_hill 2 года назад

Are we sure that’s not a modern vw design carburetor.? That looked a bit overly complex. Gr8 vid there.

@lorrainegrier3992 4 года назад

This is great! I took this exact approach last weekend with the same model. I'm still waiting on parts to come it, but the tutorial is great. I also have leaking oil from the engine. Not sure where it's coming from, but with everything still attached it's leaking out by the back wheels. Any ideas on that one?

@JeffsLittleEngineService 4 года назад

not many places it can leak from. maybe just the oil fill plug is loose.

@williamthomas8135 3 года назад

mine has 2 oil fill caps in front and rear, and a third allen head bolt flush with the engine base.

@marshallborder9089 3 года назад

Got one just like it , but mine's a 3 HP . Mine is the old White brand , and I've put a new Diaphragm in it already . But now it's still cold natured and has always been .

There is no kit for this just the bottom gasket and the fuel pump kit

@mhgh1000 2 года назад

I need your help! I finally got around to disassembling the Briggs engine to overhaul the carburetor. Carb kit gaskets and pump diaphragm seem correct. My problem: the Fuel Pickup Tube broke when I removed the carb from the tank. In my research of fuel pickup tube Part Numbers, I came up with 3 different part numbers…based upon the capacity of the fuel tank; 1QT, 2QT or 3QT. One website indicates 3 different part numbers, different for each capacity. Another site says the 2 & 3 QT use the same! None of the owners manuals that came when I purchased new provide the fuel tank capacity. I am pretty sure it is a 2 QT, based upon the dimension Briggs shows, between the carb flange mount and the end of the pickup tube. Have you run into difficulty ordering the correct fuel pickup tube part number? And finally, any tips on installing the new “press fit” fuel tube? Thank you in advance.

@JeffsLittleEngineService 2 года назад

Hi friend. Measure out 1 qt of fuel and pour it in the empty gas tank and hopefully this will help determine fuel capacity. I am thinking the tube will press in without any special tools just be careful pushing it in, maybe tap it in with small hammer if needed

@StanleyC-vx5jz Год назад

Great and detail video. I have the exact same edger. Where did you get your gaskets and other parts?

@JeffsLittleEngineService Год назад

Thanks friend. I usually get my parts on Ebay or Amazon or my local Briggs and Stratton Service/Parts Center.

I have a Lawn Edger TBE304. It starts up great. The blades are working. Once I place the edger in place to start working the blade just stop working. I have changed the belts. Any suggestions of what to do next?

@JeffsLittleEngineService Год назад

The large spring/rod that keeps the belt tight may be seized up

@tooagle Месяц назад

carburetors for these things don't seem to be that expensive ($20-$30 including gaskets). Why not just replace the carb?

@JeffsLittleEngineService Месяц назад

I have had problems with cheap carburetors. An original OEM Briggs carburetor for this is last time I checked about $100.00

to get the correct one you need the model number off of the edger frame. Not the engine model number

You need the model number off of the engine for engine parts. You will need the model number off of the edgers frame for all other parts.

@@sheriffgongetcha5653 yep, tighten all nuts on the intake side, good way to check for air leak is spray a little wd40 around carburetor and intake manifold and you should be able to see bubbles where the leak is.
