Video tutorial on how to clean the carburetor on this lawn mower. A dirty or clogged carburetor can cause no start or starting issues, reduced power, reduced efficiency, and erratic idling. Carburetor styles will vary between engines, but the same basic procedure applies. I do have a couple other carburetor cleaning videos if you want to check those out. This particular mower I am working with is a 6.0hp Tecumseh on a Craftsman push mower. • How to Find and Repair a Leaking Brass Float • DIY: How to Find and Repair a Leaking... • Website: http://4diyers.com • Patreon: / 4diyers • Facebook: / 4diyers • Google Plus: https://plus.google.com/+4DIYers • Twitter: / 4diyers • Instagram: / 4diyers • Tumblr: / 4diyers • Pintrest: / 4diyers • Tools/Supplies Needed: • -carburetor cleaner • -drain pan • -ratchet and socket set • -bolt • -rags • -safety glasses • -interlocking pliers • -fishing line, torch cleaning tips, fine wire • Procedure: • -start by removing the two retaining bolts on the engine cover • -remove the muffler as this also limited space for the other intake manifold bolt • -if you find the bolts are binding up when being removed, try to apply some penetrating oil or keeping tightening and loosening them to prevent damage on the threads • -now we can finally remove the intake manifold • -starting with the bottom fastener which can only be accessed by a wrench • -then the other fastener slightly hidden behind the engine cover • -sometimes this assembly can stick to the gasket surface from sitting so slightly pressure maybe need to break it free • -you’ll have a throttle spring to remove, along with the throttle control linkage • -remember which hole the throttle linkage connects to • -and then remove the fuel link clamp with plier, then twist and remove the fuel link • -keep in mind fuel might be present in the link so have a rag or container handy • -plug the line using a bolt, then facing the link upwards • -finally the carburetor is removed • -considering the outside of the carburetor is fairly dirty, using a tooth brush and carburetor specific cleaner to remove the dirt • -there might be fuel still inside so again have a rag or container handy • -remove the float bowl bolt • -the float is removed by taking out the pin • -it’s good to shake the float bowl and listen for any liquid as sometimes these can leak causing running issues • -above the float bowl is the needle • -this particular model of carburetor does not have a high and low speed jet as they are fixed settings from factory, therefore if the carburetor is too far damaged, a new unit will need to be purchased • -using a carburetor specific cleaner, clean the unit • -use a soft wire or fishing line to help clean out any of those orifices • -torch cleaning tips can also be used, but you must be extremely careful not to file away any material which will affect the design of the carburetor • -finally clean the float and float bowl • -and then clean the passage in the float bowl nut • -allow the cleaner to evaporate and then reassemble • -reassembly is in reverse of disassembly • -inspect any gaskets and replace accordingly • -inspect the fuel line for any damage and replace accordingly • -finally install the carburetor in reverse of removal • Thank you to all those who watch my videos and support my content.
