I can take a motor apart and put it back together... It works perfectly fine.. Once I touch the carb.. It all goes to crap and it wont start at all. I get no gas flow no matter what I do to it. I just worked on my snowblower yesterday and once I cleaned the carb and put it back the primer wont work now... Carbs piss me off.. No matter what I do I mess it up and dont know how.
@dragoon2784 - The carb sprays fuel into the vacuum caused by the falling piston which draws in the air. The result is a fog of air with fuel droplets suspended in it. Too rich means too much fuel in the fuel:air ratio (opposit of too lean - too much air). The result is a blanket of black stuff made of partially burned fuel residue.
I added tension to the spring that controls the governor in order to allow higher speed operation. This is the only adjustment I know of for this carb set-up.
@kavo360 - What kind of engine? Mower? Automotive? Outboard? Flooded how? Fuel? Coolant? Sea water? Videos can take months to get to but I do try to field requests. Send details and please stand by. Maybe message me details if it's urgent and I'll try to provide some good advice.
The first engine I have ever pulled apart and put back together was a Tecumseh when I was 8. The engine was completely fowled up with carbon deposits.
Ok, I have a 17.5hp Briggs and Stratton lawn tractor I bought 11 years ago. It's been having a problem like when I climb a hill it bogs out and hesitates a lot. I was wondering if the carburetor on it may need to be replaced or rebuilt? Because, I changed the fuel lines and filter and it didn't do a thing. Any advice??
@76ChevyC10 * 1st look for air restrictions. Kinks or obstructions? Air filter new? Throttle plate operating? Control cables stroking? Check fuel delivery. H2O in fuel? Fuel pump delivering to spec? What kind of service has it seen? High hours? Dusty conditions? Running without air filter? Maybe rings are worn. Compression test will reveal leaks. Leakdown test will pinpoint the leak. Look for smoke in exhaust when stalls. Check exhaust for restrictions. Check for EGR (operating OK?)Good luck.

I need help understanding exactly you meant when you said your burning a little to rich? and your going to speed it up by adjusting that spring
