Keep this trick I devised years ago for the future when you do carbutator work.. Try this... Heat the plastic tube from the carb cleaner spray with a lighter (about 1/4-1/2 inch from the end. Then pull on each end of the tube to stretch it. This makes the outer/inner tube diameter smaller and more of a pin point. When the melted plastic solidifies, use small wire clippers or nail clippers to snip the tube at the smallest diameter that still provides flow when spraying. The cleaner comes out like a pin point pressure washer and the shrunken plastic tube end fits inside whatever port your spaying thru. You can also do the same to create 90 degree angles in the plastic tube to spray sideways inside long venturi tubes. I used to make/keep custom tubes around for these situations. Hope this makes sense. BTW.... Great videos.

Great video, clear and straightforward but also detailed with just the right amount of info one needs. Thanks for posting.

This might be one of the best videos on KZfaq. Super detailed and great information. Well done sir.

As everyone else said great video. Always hard to find videos that go over all the aspects of something without dragging on or missing key aspects. Perfect video.

Finally got the time to get this put back on and other things I was doing to my machine. It runs great! Thanks for posting this!

Hello, I just cleaned out the carburetor for the tecumseh 5.5 hp. It was not to difficult. Good to see videos like this. Thanks.

Excellent video. Glad you showed the two bowl gaskets. I took my bowl off cleaned the main jet (would only run a few second then stall out) and put everything back together. Never noticed if there was a large bowl gasket when I removed it but did notice the small one was missing. After all was put back together, it leaked like a sieve. Will now go and remove and put in gaskets lol. Again, thanks for the video. Cheers!!

Good one, the best one out there. Good to see you included the simple "blow test" on the float.

Very thorough and detailed. I am going to tackle mine tomorrow. Thanks!

Tremendous video, you did a great job of explaining not only the procedure, but what that part actually does. Also, I have never seen that you can test your job by blowing in the carb, both upside down and right side up to see if it is functioning. Well done!!

Your video was awesome. Cleaned the jet, gasget, and bingo!! Runs perfectly. Thank you!

Great video. I tried replacing my old fixed jet carburetor last winter with an adjustable one. It is still difficult to get the adjustable one running smoothly (too many screw and throttle 'tweaks' needed) so I decided to clean and replace the old fixed jet carburetor on my 8 hp Tecumseh - the exact one one in this video. So thanks W_B !

Those welder cleaners are priceless. Cleaned a bunch of 60s-70s carbs completely with rebuild kits. Those Tecumseh carbs are like 100 bucks ome new! Don’t forget to clean the vent hole on the side of the carburetor.

Thanks for goin into such detail, sometimes the small 1s are left out and that's what your really looking for. You got them all

Good job my man!! Very concise, detailed and informative! It beats reading a piece of paper with the rebuild kit. Thanks!

Hey, great vid. You know your carbs. My expertise is round/flat slide carbs...never seen an 'emulsion' tube before. I was tentative about removing it without snapping it, or even how to. This is my buddys carb as well. Thanks for taking the time to help your fellow man.

Excellent video, straight and to the point. Well done.

To this day I wonder why folks don't like Tecumsh's. Nice 90 degree in the carb spray tube. Classic carb clean. Good filming.

Just what I needed... thanks! The emulsion tube and a couple others were the issues... Thanks for breaking it down.

Great video on that carb cleaning and I would just add two tips. 1) If you need to remove the float needle seat without destroying it, place a finger over the float needle hole and carefully blow a little compressed air into the fuel intake port and the rubber seat will pop right up to the surface where you can remove it with a small tool or toothpick. 2) When putting the rubber seat back in, if you don't have the right size punch to fit inside the seat hole, try using the back end of a drill bit that does fit and with the rubber seat started into the hole, (make sure you look at it at the top of the hole when you take it out so you'll know which way it goes back in) place the back end of the drill bit against the seat and push the sharp end of the drill bit up against the edge of the work bench, and push firmly until the rubber is firmly seated at the bottom of the hole. I just did it a hour ago and it works fine. Another option is rather than go through the process of cleaning those small carburetors, get the numbers off the carb, or the engine of the equipment and look on eBay where there are many options available where you can get brand new replacement carbs now for around $12.00 to $16.00 with free shipping. Pretty hard to beat at that price.

Great re-build, very informative and straight forward….. Thank you!

😀wow....this was the best video I have ever seen on rebuilding a carb. so detailed and clear information...you even helped me solve the surging problem I've been having on my other machine! Thank you so much for this! Have subbed and look forward to more vids like this 😁

Very good! Nicely done, and well explained. This is just what I needed to walk me through my rebuild. 👍

EXCELLENT CAMERA WORK MY FLOAT DID BIND BECAUSE I DID NOT SEE THIS VIDEO FIRST AND I REVERSED IT THANK YOU SO MUCH!! (18:53)

Great video, very helpful. Thank you for posting

Awesome. Appropriately detailed and helpful.

Fantastic. Just what I needed

Excellent video very informative and concise, great job

Wild bill you saved my butt thank you so so so much your a money saving life saver

Thanks for the video I was struggling with this carb the tiny hole for the idle circuit on my snowblower has completely blocked I'd already cleaned everything but didn't even see that hole once I watched your video I cleared it now it runs great😊😊

At 17:08 the tool you used to push in the emulsion tube is the Tecumseh tool you are supposed to use to remove and install the new float needle seat. The side of the same tool has a flat side on the handle that is to be used to set the float height to 11/64".

Great video, thank you!

Very informative! I was equally as impressed with watching you perform relatively delicate operations while wearing relatively thick gloves!

Exceptionally well done.

Even more educational the 2nd time watching “ great job “ brother .

Really great complete review ..accurate!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Good video man, explains why I flooded my engine this weekend. Wish I would have watched this video first LoL.

Pretty thorough 👍

Thanks enjoyed the video ,well done

Greta job, you leave nothing out. Now I my snow blower won't be hunting all the time. Thank you:)

Made my day! Thank you

Fantastic, great information. I learned today, thanks.

Great job

Very good! Thank you!!

Great video explaining very thoroughly, thank you!

Not only how to rebuilt the carb, but also many amazing tips!!! thank verry much!!! ps. a new sub :)

Thanks for a great video to help us trying to save from bringing it in just cause a bad carburetor

Very helpful. Thank you.

Best ever 👏 explained

Best explanation of what every piece does, super helpful, other similar videos don't do this - 5 stars .. ty

The best carb cleaning video, ever! Nice job!

very helpful. Thanks!

Top shelf info.

Excellent!

Great video thank you! Currently struggling to get that top Oring out!

Great video...well explain

Your Tecumseh tool is designed to remove and replace the needle seat. The hook removes it and the circular side pushes it back in

Thanks that was helpful

Thanks Wild_Bill for a very succinct and concise video. The clarity of the video was extremely high resolution, so even the tiniest of holes could be seen. This is how videos should be done. Very close to professional grade with well laid out step-by-step instructions. Kudos to you for taking the time to make and present this. Cheers!

Outstanding video bro you just saved me 50.00. Yeah buddy

Thank you 🙏

very helpful!

Thanks Bill for a very well described and informative session on cleaning and a carb. First time doing this thouroughly as described. These fuel holes are really small and it makes me wonder why there are no filters to filter out small particles from plugging the carb. Thanks again from snow country in Cananda!

Very helpful

well explain congratulation

I wasn't sure how to properly remove the tube, I thought it was a jet so thanks for sharing

Same old problem like I always get with these idle jets, main hole is plugged solid and I'm drilling into it and the bit breaks off so now it's plugged even worse, an suggestions. Tried another drill bit with cutting fluid and it broke off too.

Also, once removing the rubber cap is it necessary to pull the idle restrictor screw?

FYI, That flat section on your Tecumseh carb tool is used to measure the distance from the float to the carb face. That’s the distance it needs to be at.

mine has a teeny tiny spring associated with that float needle. Not even sure how it goes back. I lef tit out of my rebuild. I went through all angle variations. Seems it will work.

Any tips on how to smooth out the transition from idle to full throttle. I just went through my whole carburetor (Tecumseh HM100 Snow King) and can't get rid of the stumble with black, and sometimes blue smoke, between high and low throttle? I'm starting to wonder if this is an indication of a tired engine. Although it doesn't burn oil and has good compression and usually starts on first pull if I choke it just right. But then again it is 35 years old. What do you recommend for an idle speed.?

Thanks.

I got new carb and motor still serge's. Do you know what else I could check ?

The o-rings on the emulsion tubes, are they made of a special material like Viton? Or are they just plain rubber?

Great video. Can you tell me how to adjust the governor on a tecumseh HMSK 100 please

great work Bill, very comprehensive video. I heard there was a small debris screen behind the fuel Inlet Barb is that true?

Nice video, very well explained and helpful. I have a 5.5 HP Snow King engine, the carburetor looks very much like this one. Would you know the part number for the carburetor and or rebuild kit as well as emulsion tube for the smaller engine? Thank you.

I did everything you did to the T! and she still won't crank. She only stays on for like 5 seconds if I spray Start fuild in the spark Plug. Whats the Link to this Carb ?

Might you have the part number for the bowl gasket as well as the gasket for the jet holding the bowl on?

I bought a used craftsman snow blower, when I fill it it with gas and start the blower, there is a heavy leak in the carburetor, do you any idea what causes that, can it be fix, or get a new carb? Thanks

Great video. Usually when I pull these apart, on snow blowers, the carb is too far gone for a rebuild. I have ordered new carbs on Amazon. They don't cost much more than a rebuild kit.

what about re assembly of the throttle assembly and adjustment ? I did not pay attention witch hole the rods came of ....

THANKS for showing me how to remove seat!!!!

Fantastic video!! Mine started acting horrible this year again. One question I have is on the idle restrictor screw, how far did you screw that in? Years ago, on some screws, it was in all the way and out 1.5 turns to start with. But for this video, it looked like you just put it in and capped it? Thank you for posting this and any reply on that question!!!

I have a Murray snowblower with a 5 hp Tecumseh engine. Can you tell me what carb rebuild kit number I need to get . The model number for the machine is 624505X4C. I don't know the serial number for the engine

Does the idle restrict or srew has any adjustment? You just screw it.

So to remove that center oring, which did not come out. I use a Christmas Tree Ornament Hook - fashioned in away that I could pull it out. Probably should share how to reinstalled those caps. I didn't realized they needed to be flattened in order to stay in. I though I received a defective kit. Also, mine had a spring on the float. If you could share how to reinstall the spring - that would help also. Great video thank you for the detail.

Nvm I take that Back I did everything you did, and now it runs and drives great . I later found out it was out of Gas thats why it didnt crank lol

Hey. Followed the instructions and replaced the gasket on the main jet, bowl gasket as well as seat. Used original needle valve. After assembling, I have a leak from what looks like the intake. I assume the needle valve is not sealing so replaced the needle valve with new and slightly shorter. Still leaks. Any ideas what went wrong?

hhahah good lord.. a youtube VIDEO on exactly my ancient carb. I love the internet.

Hello there I do have the same exact carburator,how and where can I order the emotion tube inside the jet from?

Great content, just curious, what if after the rebuild you are still getting the hunting/surge effect.

Does the top hole on the idle screw bottom out or does it actually have full passage to the other hole on the side? Thank you

Do you have a part number for the emulsion tube? I broke mine trying to remove it

Your Tecumseh tool is for setting the seat on the end of tool. Fits the seat right on tool

You never mention the jet that the float needle valve controls. That needs to come out and get cleaned when the engine has surging idle.

I have seen oil inside the bowl of my tecumseh generator 2500 is it normal?I'm trying to save my tecumseh 🤠 great video by the way

ariens 28 deluxe one snow blower five years old,since new not work properly ,hard starting plus stop when blowing hard snow,no good service for the ariens shop home,bring it twice and do the same,what somebody give me a glue to fix it.thank you.Reggie from nb canada .

Can you show us how to replace the fuel line? Mine is breaking down.
