In this video I have a look at a snowblower that came in with a customer complaint of a surging engine. Pretty common issue on small engines and usually a pretty cheap and easy fix. -Enjoy!

Hey Eric, love your stuff. If your'e ever working on a SMALL engine carb and are going to adjust the idle or high limit screw... don't count how many turns it takes to come out. Count how many turns it takes to turn IN all the way. Then when you reassemble it, you can turn it all the way in and turn it OUT that number of turns.

I’m a diesel mechanic that flips “free but broken” lawn mowers on the side. Briggs and Honda engines are easy. And usually cleaning the carb and topping off the oil (Honda’s have a low oil shut off) fixes most mowers that people leave on the curb. It amazes me the lawn mowers people throw out just need some light Maint and they’re good

@JohnRodriguesPhotographer 4 года назад

@@elmoz71ls15 we live in a throwaway world. You buy a mower and most people if they take it to a mower repair feel like you just buy a new mower for the same money. I feel bad for the people in small engine repair. A lot of the mom and pop shops that I used to go to back in the day are gone. They're run out of business by the big box stores that sell you something and then I'll you need it fixed we don't do that. I understand small engine shops have overhead and they have to charge what they have to charge I'm not complaining about that. It's just best people that you should be able to get it fixed for 5 or $10. I know stupid. They don't work for free either.

@frugalprepper 4 года назад

Hey Eric, you should get a set of torch tip cleaners and mini brushes on Amazon. They are like $10. They are amazing for cleaning all the jets and little passage ways. Especially on the two cycle carbs. I have the ones I go on my amazon store under small engines. The link is under all my vids.

@GunfighterWyo 4 года назад

One thing you might consider is to add a fuel shut off valve so the gas can be run out of the carb. They are cheap and I have added them to all of my engine driven equipment. Also, put a fuel filter to keep trash out of the carb. Change the oil and plug once you get the carb cleaned out.

@kurdtpatton5039 4 года назад

Mr.O, I always keep a small length of stranded wire, 12awg,16,awg, whatever is around the shop, to poke out the holes in the Jets. It also works well for scrubbing build up out of the main jet. Thanks for the videos. Always entertaining.

Eric, My condolences on the passing of your Father, I read the obit, and it was very fine. The Snowblower main jet can be carefully cleaned with acetylene Torch cleaner needles, some of the holes in the mixing tube are very small and the tip cleaner set comes with small needle/file cleaners. I always use them to get the crud out of the tiny holes.. a trick to clean the tiny plastic idle jet is to use ONE strand of stranded copper wire to clean out the hair-thin hole in the plastic jet.

@mikechiodetti6737 4 года назад

I learned the hard way also. So, with all the small gas engines, it's turn off the fuel, let the engine run till it wants to stop, but add choke till almost full choke when it finally stops running. Next time, it fires right up. I do NOT remove the drain bolt on the 2 Honda engines I've got. The little gasket/seal WILL LEAK after that. BTDT! That's a small snow thrower. It's not self propelled.

My first mechanic job was small engine repair... My Dad bought me a toolbox, a hand full of sockets and wrenches, and from that day forward, it's been pretty much anything that runs on gasoline.... Nice one Eric! And Happy Thanksgiving!
