We ultrasonically clean/rebuild Huayi Carburetor on Craftsman, Troy Built, MTD, Yard Machines Snowblower with Powermore engine
We go through the full diagnostic and repair process and show each step to ensure you can get your snowblower back running again.
Normal symptoms of this problem are unit won't start, snowblower won't stay running, starts but dies when you take it off choke or one that Surges or dies when put under a load.
The customer said this one ran fine when they put it away and after sitting the snowblower would not start.
They all come back to the same issue and repair process!
Always check the oil level before starting. Sometimes fuel can be mixed into the crankcase which will cause major issues if started like this.
This is an MTD powermore engine used on almost all MTD Pro units, Cub Cadet, Craftsman, Yard Machines, Bolens, Troy Bilt, Yard Man, White Outdoor, etc.
The same/similar design engine is used also on Toro, Briggs & Stratton, Powersmart and Simplicity units to name a few.
They put these on 123cc, 179cc and 208cc models of these units
You carburetor part number 951-14026A can be purchased at amzn.to/3RguvkS
If you replace the carburetor, be sure to check and clean the new carburetor because the quality control is not good. This does not matter if you are using OEM or aftermarket replacement. They should both be checked before installing. See our video on this also!

Any possible way you can share a video of installing a fuel shutoff valve on this exact engine/carb setup?

@IndRepair 5 ай бұрын

There really is not a good way to do that on this model unfortunately. All of the fuel line is enclosed in the shroud, it would have to be a pretty shrewd repair. Sorry I cannot help here. Thanks for watching!

I just put new carb in mine, which is a Craftsman. New sparkplug, oil and carb. Only thing I did not do was new gaskets. It did run on first pull, but it races! Even when new I dont recall it going that fast. It's on ssteroids! Is there something wrong with it? The governor link seems to be working fine btw. I'd appreciate any suggestions/comments. Thank you!!! Wish I had seen this video sooner. Keep up the good work!!!!

@IndRepair 8 ай бұрын

An air leak between the carburetor and engine or cracked insulator will cause this

@jonsheahan3816 7 ай бұрын

Hey great video, I picked up on the shutoff with the short hose to catch the old fuel, neat trick Have you found anywhere to buy just those plastic idle jets?

@IndRepair 7 ай бұрын

The jet can be bought from MTD but we do not use them normally. The price of a new carburetor is not much more, if I remember they were around $20

@jonsheahan3816 7 ай бұрын

@@IndRepair hey thanks for getting back to me. Yes that's what I have found also, the new carb is pretty much the same price as just the jet,they're only plastic you'd think you could get a bag of them for that. Ran across a trick the Predator race guys use to richen them up without drilling the jet,they remove the lower o ring on it to stop it hunting at idle. Seems to work, have a merry Christmas

Good tip!!

@KensSmallEngineRepair Жыл бұрын

Did you inspect the tank nipple filter? Did I miss it? I usually remove them to clean them.

@IndRepair Жыл бұрын

I always inspect from the tank fill hole when cleaning. This gets cleaned when we flush and use compressor air to dry the tank. If the tank is rusted on the inside that is a different story and we replace the whole tank.

What's the labor with parts cost excellent quality mechanic you are

@IndRepair Жыл бұрын

Normally an hour to hour and a half labor (depending on the shop and what all is needing done) plus parts. The total repair on this for us would be about $115 but many shops would be significantly higher because their labor rates are $120/hr or higher and many would charge more than an hour labor.

If your machine run for five minutes and stall remove the L shape fuel for the carburetor and removed the small screen inside the carburetor they are always full of crap. Every morepower engine have them inside and you thing that carburetor is done but it's only that little screen inside which is dirty.

@IndRepair Жыл бұрын

It is definitely a cause of this but I don't see it happening often. Normally the filter in the tank will catch the debris unless it's in really bad shape. Thanks for watching!

Great Detail, sub'd. I have the same machine, can't get the governor set right. The plastic plunger had come off inside. Put it back on, set the arm clockwise (and everything in between) and get a variety of results, none correct. I've tried everything. New Carb and Gas. I have a video on my other channel (short). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iNqCZ9hqsbOqYYU.html

@IndRepair Жыл бұрын

It sounds like it might have an air leak? Try spraying carb cleaner between carb and plastic toward intake or between intake plastic and block. One of those gaskets has to be leaking or the carb had metal shavings in the bottom. See if it smooths out with some choke? Normally the governor will be super high if it is the issue (or really low)

@philliphall5198 Жыл бұрын

If it’s acting crazy replace it Asap. Governor can destroy a engine
