Carburetor Clean & Rebuild on 3.5 HP Tecumseh Engine Part 2 of 2

[MrMikeinwi]

Where can you get gaskets for the bottom of these carbs? Can you use a washer instead?  Can't seem to find the gaskets...their almost like paper.

[donyboy73]

@MrMikeinwi u can get them at a small engine shop

We have the same motor and the linkages are messed up. I can tell because the throttle starts at wide open and the mechanic thought it governed down, but I can see you are adjusting the throttle and its affecting the carb without any governor action. Can you help me find a picture of how the linkages are supposed to be? I was ready to scrap the job. ..Dan Thanks, too

@fallguy100000 watch the whole video

@donyboy73 In its natural state not connected, not running, etc. does the throttle spring on the carb keep the throttle at the idle position or WOT? I think our new carb is starting at WOT; any ideas why this would be? Looks like you are down on the idle screw.. If I'm missing any linkage parts do you have those? Thanks.

[donyboy73]

@fallguy100000 i think it's idle but i would have to look again

[fallguy100000]

@donyboy73 You are right, I finally found it on your #2 video somewhere between 3:50 and 4:00, sorry to bother you, but I didn't catch it until I watched several times.

Thanks a bunch for posting, we were ready to scrap the motor. If I need linkage parts; are they available through you?

[donyboy73]

@fallguy100000 check ur local shop but if u need one I have used parts

[bthor76]

It may be just me but I would've also cleaned the exterior also. I like dipping my carberators in a gallon of Berryman Carberator Cleane r. It's essentially a one gallon tin paint can with a basket. It works great. Submersing the entire carberator in carb cleaner ensures that any old gasoline residue is disolved and your carberator cleaned in and out.

do you buy after market or actuall tecumseh parts?

[donyboy73]

@1968tecumsehman i stock actual Tecumseh Parts

[semco72057]

I have a generator with a Tecumseh engine on it and has never been run since buying it. I tried to start it once, but it did not start so I parked it for 10 years.

[ja6a]

have any idea what carb kit i need for a bvs 153? thank you. good vid. i reckon you are making the jet bigger with the needle though

[thedilsavers]

Great Video! Rebuilt my carb. and it runs great! After I shut it off it leaks gas out of the air intake?? Any Ideas what I've done wrong?

[donyboy73]

@thedilsavers check the float to make sure it doesn't have gas in it. replace the needle and seat and make sure float is adjusted right

[monsterman21897]

where would a get the plastic housing where you hook up the fuel line to the carb

[donyboy73]

@monsterman21897 u could get the connector at a small engine shop or on ebay.

[doncstokes]

Very informative.  Thanks!

[snaponjohn100]

Great job! I am learning not only how to clean a carb, but also how to adjust one. Thanks.

[1972FordF150]

Runs good man ! thumbs up !

[ptman3]

Thanks. Always enjoy your videos and learn something new.

[Smallgasengine1]

where do you get those tecumseh parts from? dealer?

[donyboy73]

@Smallgasengine1 ebay mostly, cheaper than dealer

[acscolo]

I was wonder why you didn't remove the welch plugs when you cleaned and rebuilt the carb?

[donyboy73]

@acscolo i only remove it when the carburetor is corroded
