HOW TO Remove & Clean Fixed JET on Snowblower Carburetor

HOW TO Remove Fixed JET on Snowblower Carburetor. Tecumseh Engine 8-10.5 hp. If your engine is "surging" up and down it could be that this jet is dirty.
These have a non-adjustable carburetor. You can however adjust the speed of the Idle with the small torx screw on top of the carb.

whats the advantages or disadvantages of a non adjustable carburetor? thanks

[donyboy73]

@MrBikercat advantages are you don't need to adjust it

I just wanted to thank you for providing this video. I was able to fix my snow blower by watching this. It was only run when full choke was applied. After cleaning the Jet the thing works perfect. Thanks a lot!

@dotNetSkillz ur welcome

Great video! All of your videos are excellent. Can you explain the rationale for taking off the wheel? I have Craftsman and the wheels are bolted on. I can get to the fixed jet with a wrench. If I were to remove only the jet, would the float stay in the carb?

[donyboy73]

@vgs8606 taking off the wheel is just to make it easier for some. the float will stay on if u only remove the jet

Cleaning the fixed jet bolt holes worked ..... and my snowblower started fine. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and the video! ....... Mike

Hey Donyboy73!

Just wanted to thankyou for a great video! I have a snowblower that is about 12 years old, and has been running rough (surging),and was about to take it in for repairs. I watched your video,and did exactly what you did, and now it works like new again!

Just wanted to say thanks....for making my life a little easier!

pleaseee help man!

Hi Don, I can't find the carb bowl with fuel dump hole part number anywhere on the web, can you help ?

Super. My snowblower would only run with the choke on half. The valve didn't seem cogged but once reassembled the blower works perfect. Thanks!

I have a Sears Craftsman 11.5hp and initially looking like it's the same setup in the carb. My snow blower only only works with choke on after winter storage. For several years I left the gas in my blower with no problems in the spring. This year Irving revealed they are putting Ethanol in their regular gas which I was using. I let the blower almost run out of gas and replaced with their middle grade of gas. Didn't know I should drain the carb.

Just wanted to let you that your video was excellent! I have watched many other videos about how to clean the jet holes but you were the first to suggest using a thread of wire brush to clean the jet holes.

Thanks again!

I really appreciate your help! This was my first attempt at working on a carburetor and your video helped me get my parents snowblower up and running.

Much thanks from Maryland, USA.
