Isn't this instructions?

@DaiReborn If you can't tell the difference between info and instructions, you are not a man.

Great repair job on the snow blower! Earlier this year before hurricane season began I decided to test run my Troy-Bilt 5550watt portable generator after it was sitting in the garage un-used all winter. It was running so rough it occasionally shut down. After spending over an hour on the phone with local repair shops and getting phone estimates over $300 for repair, I watched a you tube video on carb repair and did the job in about 20 minutes. It's runs better now than when it was new.

@yhird That is prepping brother. 300 hundred more dollars in your pocket for your family and A NEW SKILL for the rest of your life. Welcome to the DIY club, Membership is few and far in between.

"A more complicated mind like mine" could be construed as cockiness, but I can tell YP has taken the path of acknowledging what everyone should grasp and that is positive reinforcement. If you think you're too stupid to learn how to rebuild a carburetor, well then, you will remain stupid. YP has realized the potential of his mind and does not limit himself by any negative self thoughts or statements. Trained Minds are Great Minds and Trained Minds are Limitless!

@Joe55darter Well....some people did and will take that as cockiness. And they got their panties up in a bunch because I am sure their work benches are neatly organized...BUT...I was really just making fun of myself. I am the classic champion of under achievers, LOL!. When I had an desk job back in the late 90's my boss use to walk in to my office and ask: "Where's the pin?" and I would say; "what pin?" and he would say: "the pin to the grenade that went off in here!"

Great info I usually do all my own maintenance on my equipment. I guess that is the old Army PMCS days that kick in. I agree that the people who design this stuff need to get their head screwed on right to make it easier to work on and repair. A lot of stuff these days require specialised tools to work on as well you cant just tear into an engine with your Dad's tool set any more like in the good old days. Just try to replace an altenator on a car these days compared to on older vehicles and see

Great vid! Helped me fr sure. A neighbor down the road from our cabin in Indiana gave me a Craftsman Riding Lawnmower. The engine was replaced with a newer 12hp Briggs & Stratton. He was never able to keep it running. I believe the parts that control the choke and idle are missing but I don't know enough myself to figure it out and have not been able to find the information I am looking for. Any chance for some help if I do a video response showing what my problem is?

I just yanked the carbs off of a motorcycle I've had in storage for 3 years now and tossed the parts into a pot of boiling water for a few minutes. Blew everything dry, reassembled and it started right up. I'm thinking I'm going to go the boiling water route from now on.

YP, thanks for taking the time to make videos like this. My dad didn't get into the fixit type stuff and I never really had any friend who were into engines, but you make a simple repair like that seem reasonable and I might give it a try some time. Thanks again...

[lickmetender]

love how you rationalize your sloppiness, I'm definitely going to use that simple mind line next time my mom yells at me to clean my room, ty

no thats not a junky table its a self planned security device.If somebody brakes in to take something all they will see is a mountain of stuff and totally get confused.Thats the way a real man rolls.I keep my as junky as I can.

[kdavel]

@Yankeeprepper OK I understand why you have taken off many of your older vids, Fair enough. One video I was looking for that you may consider re posting was the one on home security systems. Thanks.

Fucking Amen dude!!!!! I wish they would actually start teaching in Public School. That and Parents really need to start parenting, i absolutely HATE seeing an 8 year old slapping his mom over a toy, and her not doing anything about it, and I really hate the 300 pound mom walking her 4 year old on a leash in Walmart as well. I may only be 22, but if i would've hit my mom, i wouldn't have been able to sit down for a month.
