@megaman5043 If your carb. appears to have no adjusting screws then you have what is called a preset or nonadjustable carb. . All that you can do to it is clean and or rebuild if necessary . Follow my other videos to clean or rebuild it . On some of these carbs . though while there is no adjusting screws for high and low settings , there is a screw at the top of the carb that adjust the idleing . It's located on top of carb. next to where the flap where the governer rod hooks up.
@ESRepair i just looked at the carb n finished the vid i think i know how to clean it also i noticed there was a screw on the bottom of the bowl thing ima redo this tomaro n spray the carb cleaner cross ur fingers that it will work
@MrMilitantviper not to my knowledge. Those products are oil based lubricants and shouldn't be used in the carburetor. those can be used to lubricate the linkages connecting to the carburetor. there are alternatives like gumout but WhizKid should be on here later this morning after work. He'll have a better solution for alternative cleaners.-MrFixit
hi i need help not cleaning it but exaust is blowing out the carb and making lots of noise but i hear its to rich but i dont even think the neddle workes and i even checked the valve timing and the spark. please what can i do
@pimprock23 Pull the top off of your lawnmower motor and get down to where you can see the flywheel key . If it's sheared any it will cause the motor to get out of timeing spark wise and this will cause the spark plug to fire at the wrong time and cause this problem . Check to make sure that both values are opening and closing right .Especially, if it's an OHV . Make sure valve seats and guides are alright . If OHV make sure that valve clearance are set right . Make sure that carb. is clean .
@pimprock23 Hi , sorry that it took so long to reply , but I've been extremely busy. Read bottom post first. As I said make sure that carb is clean and working properly. Check for carbon build up behind valves. If all else fails , pull motor off machine and take oil pan off and make sure that the crankshaft gear that works the cam gear isn't broke , stripped , or key isn't sheared . If these problem exist then it will get valves out of time and cause misfire .
this looks like a FULL carb cleaning... i saw another video where the carb cleaning consisted of just cleaning the bowl. if i have a lawn mower that only runs when constantly primed, i'm wondering if the bowl cleaning will be enough. hmm...
If you have the carb. already off and apart it would be wise to go ahead and clean the whole carb. The bowl needs to be cleaned , but it is just a bowl all of the main parts are in the carb. body . If the bowl needs cl;eaning then chances are the whole carb. needs to be cleaned . Better safe than sorry since you already have the carb. off to clean the whole thing . It sounds like it needs the works if running only primmed. Yes , it is a full carb . cleaning ,
@ESRepair Thanks for the reply! I was messing around with the screw underneath the bowl, and I turned it a few times, and it seemed to fix the problem. The mower ran without stalling. Strange.
@andy42x You must have an older engine , since most newer engines today don't have the bowl screw . The screw under the bowl is the fuel adjuster for the main jet . The more that you open it up the more fuel goes in and the shorter you adjust it the less fuel goes in . Gad t hear that you got it going .
@tc5i Everyone starts from scratch then learn as they go. Carburaters are different from one model to the next, so if you have any questions please ask. We'll be glad to help. -MrFixit.
@UberPloxage WhizKid is more country than I. I don't know if he ever worked on a washer, but he's good with small engines. I have repaired my washer with a rebuilt transmission plus replaced the heating element in my dryer.
@UberPloxage No, this is a channel WhizKid and I do together. We been best friends since '92. It was mainly his idea. I thought that it would be great to try, although I was relunctant to proceed. Nonetheless, I think the channel is doing better than anticipated. Been wanting to do more videos, but with our schedules, it tends to make that difficult. WhizKid works with small engines while I do computers and electronics. I learn his field of interest and he learns my field of interest. MrFixit
Really good video, unfortunately I cannot even get my lawn mower's carburetor off! It is running great but I have run it enough hours to need a cleaning. I can clean my weed whacker's carb fine. I will give it another try
what if the carb i haz 4 the lawn mower seems to not hav any screws on it at all?
