Thank you for this video! I had many symptoms like others commented, I ended up replacing all the rubber fuel hose from the gas tank to the carb, fuel pump and then did exactly what you showed in the video and this tractor now purrs like a kitten, best it has ever sounded. Thanks again !

This vid was very helpful, thank you. Used your fine wire trick on the needle and it solved my problem. John jd lt133

This was a very informative video on carb cleaning, thank you. I ran across your channel while trying to find a video that might help me with my John Deere Lt150 15 hp Kohler that I had to replace a bad throttle cable, now it will startup and run fine at idle (Turtle) but when I adjust the throttle to full (Rabbit) it stalls out, I have to keep adjusting the throttle to get to the sweet spot so it will stay running when I engage the blades.

Thanks, I didn't know where the carb was and now I know how to take it off. Thanks a lot!

Thank you that helped me out a lot! Appreciate the great video!

Super helpful - thank you so much

Working with small parts over big drain hole. Love it!

Thanks! It runs now!

I have a John Deer L110 now 15 years old. It would run for maybe 15 minutes without problem then display symptoms of fuel starvation. It barely ran only when choked full on and finally wouldn't start at all.. Checked fuel pump, solenoid operation, pulled carburetor and cleaned. These all looked good. Finally I looked at the gas cap. In the center top of the cap is supposed to be a hole. You should be able to blow air through this. Mine was plugged. Unplugged it with a quick blast of air and a wire for good measure. Another symptom of this problem is that after it bucks and starves out, I could leave it sit for an hour or two, then it would run fine for another 15 minutes or Just enough time air to leak in and fill the vacuum in the gas tank!! FYI, the carburetor had these numbers on it 97A 1203 12053117 Walbro 9 should you have to order parts.

Excellent video. Subbed.

Thanks Good video

good job

i am getting fuel to carb on my LT133 bit it only runs with a squirt of starting fluid. I dont want to keep spraying that as it can not lube the cyllinder. I may clean it or just get a new carb for $25 off Amazon. I replaced the starter solenoid but I got the wrong one from amazon. It was listed for the LT 133 but the bracket was wrong as well as the post connectors but I made it work and now its sits better out of the way so the large wires are not as close to the hot engine block. Ill post a video on the wire and mounting configuration so others may ne able to easily hook theirs up if they get the wrong one like I did. My problem with my original solenoid was it was still cranking the engine even when I turned the key to the off position. Thanks for the video....very helpful Sir.

Your a cool guy you seen nice keep it up

thank u that was interesting

Exactly my model, and seems to be related to my problem. So thank you. I will try this tomorrow. Mine will start eventually in choke but will die after a few seconds ( whether I release choke or not). Any suggestions as to whether this might be related to a clogged carb?

Should I try cleaning the carburetor before purchasing a new one

Having similar issue with my LT155 not starting. I replaced the ignition coil, spark plug, and fuel filter. The carb bowl seems to be getting gas and looks clean from what I can see (without taking it apart). I can get it started for a few seconds by dribbling a little gas... but it only stays on for a few seconds. Do you think I should remove the carb and clean it or is more likely a fuel pump?

I can't see how to take it apart

Nice video! Would you apply the same carb cleaning technique to an older model, such as the 175? (Kohler)

I just bought this exact mower for $900 and it will run with the choke on but once I try to open it up to where the rabbit is it only runs for a few minutes then sputters out. And idea is it the carb??

purple power works... this isn't purple power and I don't know what it is but it's working... what a great video...

The key will not go all the way into the ignition. Just used the mower a few days ago and worked fine. Any ideas

Good information but really couldn't see where and how to get to the carburetor so ended up being useless.

where did you get the new gasket and o rings from?

I gatta take our ltr 180 out tomarrow and suck leaves up with it

My lt160 16hp Kohler runs then stops the carbs been cleaned before and selinoid removed mowed the yard h as of way then stops. The fuel pumps been replaced with a low pressure electric and regulator then does the same so I'm thinking the carbs plugged again. All hoses are new. I've replaced the diagram with a new one and does the same. Any suggestions

I have a John Deere LX289 with cool radiator. Can you show a lady how to take the it a part to replace the Corporator thank you

You didn't even show how to get carb off

I bought the same mower from a guy who said it had been sitting for a year. Same problem, it'll turn over but not start. I did try the steps in this video, but still no go. Any other things to try? I know its getting spark...

Taking a carb apart over a sink drain ?? That's not real smart.

I bet that the problem wrong with my mower i have the same mower mines won't start and when I can start it it cuts off when I put it in half choke

How did u end up getting the bowl off??

Well I didn't get to get that same one after all but i offered $200.00 and would still offer that much the one I looked at needs more work done to it before you can ride off on it i told the guy his hood needs put back on

My engine runs on starting fluid but the carburetor is giving it fuel.

update. Cleaned my carb and main jet with wire and got it running but dies shortly after and fuel was leaking from my old carb gaskets. Hopefully its just fuel starvation from leaking gaskets. Gonna get a gasket kit and see how she does. Hasn’t been ran for over 2 years sitting in the weather.

1. The fuel line runs on the left side 2. You didn't show how disconnect it 3. Why are you cleaning this down someone's sink?? If that doesn't flush properly, wow your friend will hate you. Ok so you actually did help me do what I needed to do so at the end of the day your video is valuable. Thanks

In a perfect world, ppl wouldn't talk so much.

In the kitchen??

Seriously, why do guys like you post these videos but choose to skip over essential parts of the work? You know, like how to actually get the carburetor off???? Get all the way down and I can't figure out how to get these levers off without breaking them.

I fkn lost it at 5:07

I have a John Deere 166 it cranks but won't start at all..but if u spray staring fluid in carb is starts for second.....its getting gas I drained the gas put all new gas and cleaned the Jets and carb.still nothing..but sometimes when I try to start it the starter won't stop spinning..when even key is off.
