I had to rebuild my nikki again at the seasons end. The float was way to high even with new parts. So I heated the float to make the float seat level with the bowl housing. Now the engine runs great and super smooth. Thanks for the video fella too.

@ChaosAttractor13 2 года назад

I cannot thank you enough. You are an angel. I was brought to tears this week trying to rebuild my carburetor. I can’t find a how to manual. I still can’t tell if the main jet was put in washer first or jet first. I have a 50/50 shot. Thank you for being better than everyone else. You have my like and subscription. Please keep up the DETAIL ORIENTED instructions coming.

If you put the carb in a ziplock bag. And then fill the bag with carb cleaner. You can put it in the ultrasonic cleaner without making the water gross. You won’t need to change it as often either.

I bought the rear engine Troy Built for $50 with a blown Briggs for parts. I went to clean the carb for a spare and there's no needle valve but at least the carb was spotless inside. Judging from the bowl screws I think this was delivered this way and why the engine seized. Great video BTW

Perfect timing, I recently drug home a free snapper LT1533 and I'm sure the Nikki carb needs work from sitting with crap fuel in it, got around to putting on a new solenoid (old one was melted, guy i got it from said the previous owner hooked the battery up backwards) and now need to see if the flywheel key is sheared as it backfires through the intake. I'd put on a Walbro if I had any left in my stash to be honest a bit simpler to rebuild. 👍

@joesphbaumgardner4579 4 года назад

@THEMOWERMEDIC1- First time with this carb. The bowl gasket is a pain in the ass But Unlike most glad to see you talked about how that goes on. What I find more a pain is the little O ring that goes over the plastic nub where the main gas comes in. Some of these kits the ring is thicker or wider and it is almost a done deal to get all locked down. Same with the little O ring that goes on brass and up in center of plastic shoot/tube. Two things here #1. What kit and link do you get yours. I see they work well in going in and locking. I need some? #2. The thing at vid point 11:47 what exactly does that part do when ajust to carb? Puts more fuel into carb thus slows or runs motor faster?

@dennislarimore9409 3 года назад

@doublewide6 4 года назад

I find the plastic float tends to sag sometimes and that is why they flood. I would think the plastic seat would be fine if cleaned well with a q-tip. Have you ever tried to change just the float or heat it so the need sits correctly?

@THEMOWERMEDIC1 4 года назад

They sag due to the spring inside the needle. It's the way it's designed, just like the old toro 22040 Suzuki 2 stroke. The oring on the backside of the fuel transfer assy is vital in its placement as it is also a leak point

@carynruby12 2 года назад

Unfortunately I watched this after disassembling carb &I lost the main jet. The rebuild kit I got had a new main jet, but after rebuild I now have engine surging. I’m concerned the “new” main jet has wrong hole size & don’t have the original to compare against. Do you or any of your followers know the main jet hole diameter.

@Rebel9668 3 месяца назад

I'm swapping my carb on my 19hp because as cheap as they are I don't want to bother with the needle and seat on mine. I don't think it's the fuel though as I run 93 octane ethanol free gas in it from the Co-Op. Mine wouldn't crank day before yesterday so I adjusted the valves and she fired right off. Went out yesterday and she wouldn't crank again. Took the spark plug out and gas came gushing out of the cylinder so found a new carb, filters, shut off switch, etc. on Amazon for $30 and figured I'd just do that instead of getting a rebuild kit.

@ronalddavidwhite9385 Месяц назад

The "Governor rod" has a long thin wire like spring which accompanies it, They connect to the throttle valve (the metal one located closer to the front of your mower.... the valve nearer the back of the engine is strictly choke related and your choke linkage is attached to plastic. ... it has 3 holes, make sure the choke valve is in the open and hook the linkage up through the hole nearest the rear of the engine, oddly you hook the linkage upward through the hole not down through the hole.. Make sure to install the thick choke linkage through the slot in the bracket that your throttle cable connects to as you put the carb onto the air horn, otherwise you will not be able to hook the hook in the choke linkage on the carburetor. As for the Governor linkage with the very thin wire spring the rod goes in the hole that is lined with plastic in the spring goes in the hole that is just a hole in the metal linkage on the carburetor hopefully that helps!
